Need help with custom recovery for my device - General Questions and Answers

Hello, i have an AllCall Rio,
MT 6580 - kernel 3.18.35+ , screen resolution 720 x 1280 (dunno if that helps)
After managing to Root this with magisk and sp flash tools,
I am looking for a custom recovery for my device, twrp or cwm, but i cant find an IMG for my device and i have no competences in porting. Need your help guys i really dont know what to do.
I see there is an unofficial port for mt 6580 but with different kernel, does it matter?

Hi,
You need to specify your device make and model number. There's more to a device than a chipset and you need software created for your specific device. ?

TWRP or CWM?

Hello,
i would like to install a custom rom to my china smartphone coolpad 1S with CPU: mtk6592T (armv7 processor rev4(v7l). instruction set: armeabi v7a)
I found many custom roms for my device (for example, the MIUI V6.0),
but i didn't find a simple guide to flash the rom to my device.
I found only that , to install the custom rom, i need to install a recovery TWRP or CWM.
And i found that i need to create the recovery.
To do this, i found that i must use one of the following tools:
MTKdroid tools, to generate/install the CWM
or
EasyMagic TWRP, to generate/install the TWRP.
I would like to know which of the above is the easiest and safest to be used for my phone.
And, finally, if to install the ROM i need a tool, or if i simply can flash it booting my phone in recovery mode.
Thank you!
I'm not aware of these tools but go with TWRP recovery it's simple and easy to use. and once you got recovery you can flash ROMs in the recovery

TWRP Port/Root support V2 Viper XE

Hello guys. This is my first post here, after many weeks of trying and trying and failing.. i decided to ask quality help. I`m trying to root my Allview v2 viper xe runing on marshmallow 6.0 with a mt6737t soc and i swear i keep failing. First i tried to full backup stock rom so i can integrate supersu into the rom direclty or simply tweaking it (mostly by removing bloats), but the mtk droid tools dont working with my soc, so i cannot get a scatter file or etc for a readback with sp flash tool. I tried miracle box, i succesfully backuped my room but all files are in .bin format.. I know by simply changing them to .img and so on, i can use them to flash them via sp flash tool, but i cannot tweak them :/ , i cannot open the bins and get acces to system folder at all.
Is there any chance to get twrp ported for this device or a tweakable rom or anything? x.x
You can look this: BLU Vivo XL2 - v0070 - mt6737t - 32gb

No, you can't flash any zips without custom recovery or root.
You'll have to build a recovery for your device based on the series of MTK CPU you have.
There are guides all over the internet for building or porting recovery for MTK devices.

CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR GIONEE F205, MT6739 CHIPSET

Hi,
I can't seem to find any custom recovery for gionee f205 with mt6739 chipset. So I tried porting similar mt6739 unofficial twrp img but it is also not working. Any custom recovery would be alright. Please help

You has experience flashing Custom Recoveries?
Share all specs from your device and let me know how you tried Porting.
Maybe need this? Gionee F205 / F205 Pro DA & Auth
Thanks, I have zero experience and have only started. I have already ported the custom recovery to my device using carliv image kitchen tool from here. The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as I have been searching for a week for a custom ROM(Oreo or later) to flash for my gionee F205(nougat) and can't find one. I have started trying to port the stock ROM of GIONEE F205 PRO which is Oreo and also treble enabled. Both have little differences but the same chipset(MT6739). But as of now nothing has worked. Could you help with that?
Or is there any custom ROM I can flash? Can I port from this non-treble device to an treble enabled ROM.
Also I tried Flashing the Stock rom of F205 pro excluding the Preloader using SP Flash Tools. But it return a error "PMT changed for ROM, it must be downloaded". So I tried to format except the bootloader and it too returns an error "ERROR : STATUS_SEC_WRITE_DATA_NOT_ALLOWED(0XC002000C).

You not need Custom ROM to test Custom Recovery. Now you need confirm that your file work good as you confusing here: "The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as.."
If you know that your TWRP work "perfectly" so the "issue" SOLVED. LOL
About Custom ROMs MT6739 stock Nougat:
I did a quick search in some places I know and the news is not good. I didn't really see any custom ROM for MT6739 with Nougat kernel.
Without a kernel upgraded to Android 8.1 you will not have much chance of installing the GSI ROM.
It is not just installing the stock ROM of another similar device or of the same company! It is about something that will take time and may have many errors to correct because companies that sell MTK devices do not provide all Source Code files to make a new kernel. So you can usually even ask someone with experience to do something, but without the full Source Code, then the chances are -100%.
So you can even have a Custom ROM from another MT6739 as long as it is with the Nougat kernel. Obviously there will be items to be solved for your device or suddenly not. As I have not seen any MT6739 Nougat with Custom ROM, then I cannot help further in this context.
If I had an MT6739 with Nougat then I would look at some MT6737 with Nougat because there are a lot of Custom ROMs for these. But remember that the MT6739 can have 32 bits (arm) or 64 bits (arm64) and that will influence something.
I myself have a 64-bit Nougat MT6737T that has RRMix Oreo 8.1 and works great!
So everything will depend on you and your time to do the PORT and the necessary tests because it will be a learning experience for yourself!
Good Lucky!
