Hi all!
I'm trying to install CWM in my NGM Legend 2 which is the italian version of Gionee 868 and it should be similar to Micromax A90s
This phone has MT6577 chip (in the infromation of the phone it is called MT6577_S00 is it equal??)
The first time i tried to install it using Mobileuncle Tools but somithing went wrong and now the recovery doesn't work at all!
So i tried to install it using SP Flash Tool but every time i try to flash i see the message in the attached image!
I think is a problem with the drivers because every time I connect the phone in the device manager pops up the MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM but after 2 seconds it goes out and if use USBDeview it shows that the device isn't connected i've tried anything possible and now i don't really know what to do!
I hope someone could help me!
Thanks!
If only your recovey isn't working and your phone still boots normally into Android, you could also just copy your recovery image to your SDCARD and try to use Mobile uncletools again (option upgrade recovery) to reflash the original recovery image.
I did this on my Allview P6 once too (also a mtk 6577 phone)

HOW To Flash COT Recovery into Your Device:
Now there are two methods one using mobile uncle tool or using the sp flash tool....
1st Method: (Will work Only on Rooted Device if you have already rooted your A44 using unlock root.)
If you have a rooted Device, simply use this mobile uncle tool, put the recovery i provided in the root of your SD Card, download and install Mobile uncle from play store or downlaod from attachments below... install the apk and then everything is easy.... just follow steps...
2nd Method:
Downlaod sp Flash Tool from attachments,
Load scatter file..... browse recovery..... dissconnect your phone from pc/laptop..... remove battery ... put you battery back ,.... do not connect you phone to usb or turn on the battery do not touch any buttons on the phone...... now after loading the recovery.img .. make sure only recovery is ticked and rest are unticked ... if not then untick it yourself.. as we are only going to flash recovery only..... ...
Press download button... a message will appear on the right bottom corner to connect the USB cable in XX seconds... so now connect the USB cable before XX seconds and a progress bar will appear.. let it complete.. and you will see the green circle... close the window and sp flash tool.. and boot into recovery....
You know how to enter into recovery Power + vol up simultaneously ......
Enjoy COT recovery..... with Micromax a44 Punk....

help i beg u
plz help me im aswin im using mm a44 phone i hv wrongly deleted dialer from app folder &i hv wrongly gaven factory reset now i cant even turn on usb debugging plzz help me :crying:
Hi all,
I've been playing around lately with this Dual Core Dual Sim device, named Intki E91, with Android 4.0.4, rooted it, then replaced the iPhone iOS style launcher with Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, all fine so far, but then proceeded to wipe all non-useful built-in apps with the help of Uninstall Master 3.2.0, then deleted all Chinese related stuff from the internal memory, at which point the phone resets, no longer boots and I am now stuck in the Android System Recovery 3e with no chance of ever restarting it. Power button + Volume Down takes me to a screen where it says "Enter factory mode" and it just hangs there so one has to remove the battery and then reboot only to get to the stock recovery again.
Now there is no ClockworkMod for this phone and the manufacturer here http://www.intkimobile.com/ did not reply to me when I mailed him about the problem, asking for the factory ROM.
I could only find a find a custom ROM ((E91动力)软件z19b-intki-e91-01_R01_user) on a Chinese website with a "MT6575_Android_scatter" file, but when attempting to flash it with SP Flash Tool 3.1304.0.119 it says Sp Flash Tool Error : 8200, "the load and target are inconsistent", "the load to be downloaded is for MT6575", "the target platform is MT6577_S00".
Afterwards, I looked for a different scatter file for 6577 processors and I found "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc" file all over the web, then attempted to flash using that, but got the BROM ERROR : S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND (3144)
At this point I really do not know what else to attempt to revive this phone, I would really appreciate if someone extracted their stock ROM for this device and post it here as an "update.zip", or give instructions on how to bypass the SP Flash Tool errors, or made a custom recovery for this device so i could flash the above mentioned ROM with no errors, or even develop a custom ROM altogether.
Thanks for your time.
Edit: I flashed a custom recovery using the tutorial here: http://www.labandroid.com/china/2013/02/flash-cwm-recovery-to-mtk-phones-without-sp-flash-tool/ but it doesn't work, so now I no longer have a recovery.
My only hope is a solution through Smart Phone Flash Tool.
If only someone could make the errors go away...
The only thing left to do now is to try and format the Flash using SP Flash Tool, an see if that can enable a error-free flashing.
But it's a lot of hassle writing the imei's back afterwards. And if it doesn't work I will have a total brick...
Before proceeding, can someone confirm if formatting the flash fixes the SP Flash Tool errors (especially given its internal memory is a mere 512mb ? - could that be the cause of errors?)
Please advise...
Thanks

Hello all XDA Members and others who are viewing this thread.
I finally found a way to root the IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT MediaTek devices!
I personally used it on Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 MT6592M with 2 Gb RAM 1.4 Ghz Octa Core Processor MT6592M.
Devices that won't be rootable by apps like Kingo Root, Vroot(for a certain time), Framaroot, towelroot etc can be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users can also follow this guide created by The Android Soul for picture tutorial. : Click Here
Note : If you're rooted but want to install CWM then follow this guide to create CWM and flash it via SP Flash Tool or Just copy the created recovery and flash it via Rashr (Download from play store)
Let's get started without wasting time.
Things you'll need MTK Drivers : All MTK Drivers 2014
Your Phone with USB Debugging Mode turned on in Developer Section
Usb Cable and most Important
A Calm head :silly:
A video is already available link is in 1st point.
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"]Warning Rooting Voids warranty. I would in any means not be responsible for dead devices, bricked SD cards or any other activity that leads to damage of your device. If you know the risks still want to continue then go ahead.[/SIZE][/B]
First we would like to load scatter file for our device. Process in the video link in 1st point.
Disconnect the phone's battery (if any) [ IN CASE OF XOLO HIVE JUST SWITCH OFF THE DEVICE THEN WAIT FOR 30 seconds and connect the device ] and then press volume up button and connect it with PC it will connect device in preloader mode.
1) We would like to have a backup of our UNROOTED stock ROM. Download MTK Droid Tools (Google it) and then use this method to backup your UNROOTED stock ROM. It is basically Read Back method from SP Flash tool Follow this video tutorial : How to backup unrooted stock ROM
Warning : Please do not continue this tutorial if your device has fake information or any kind of restriction or ubifs file system or you'll brick the device. You have been warned.
This is a text guide for the video :
2) After backup extract the firmware you created using MTK Droid Tools. Process given in video.
3)Now when you get boot.img for your device you're good to go
4) Open MTK Droid tools with administrative privileges and make sure your phone is connected and then migrate to root,backup,recovery tab and click the option to choose boot.img from and locate your stock boot image and make a CWM recovery from it.
5) Wait for process to complete and then check recovery folder inside MTK Droid tools folder. There you'll find two files
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]XXXX_bootpatched.img & XXXX_recovery.img[/B][/COLOR]
6) Now open SP flash tool and load the MTKXXXX_Android_scatter_txt and untick every option except for boot.img and recovery.img. Then click on both tabs and locate the modified images created by MTK Droid tools which can be found in recovery folder itself if you haven't moved them.
7) Make sure your phone isn't connected at this time and then hit download button in SP Flash Tool and then with phone's battery removed with volume up button pressed connect it to PC and then flash process will begin. After completion you'll see a green circle at that point disconnect your phone and switch it on. Don't disturb the phone until flashing completes and you see a green circle.
Congratulations! You have CWM Recovery for your device without ROOT!
ROOTING
1) Now download this zip file and flash it via CWM Recovery. SuperSU.zip and reboot.
Congo many will get root access now but not Xolo HIVE You do need to flash this zip. Users that don't get root after flashing supersu zip can also continue further.
2) Download Vroot from here and install it.
3) Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and wait till it detects your device.
4) Now click root button and voila you're rooted!
Now reboot and you'll see the superuser app Now you'll have two Superuser apps (NOT XOLO HIVE USERS) SuperSU from flash and Superuser from Vroot. Not to worry just open SuperSU and it will automatically ask to remove the other Superuser app choose that and reboot and you're done
Luckily those who don't want or find complication in SP Tool Read back method, just download the stock ROM for your device and extract boot.img from it and then follow same steps from 4th step at the beginning from where to create CWM for your device.
I suggest use androidxda.com for most stock ROM's.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users don't Panic I have your CWM and Boot image ready Just download from here : Xolo HIVE Recovery.img
Xolo HIVE Boot Patched.img.
KINDLY DON'T MIRROR MY FILES. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE GIVE THIS LINK TO PEOPLE.
Xolo HIVE users I saved your work upto step 5 from step 6 ,i.e, flashing you need to do manually
I know it's a long and complicated process but it is only method working until a new exploit is available to root the impossible mtk devices.
Conisder me a donation if you can as it will help me to make more guides and apps
If you cant donate hit thanks :good:
That won't cost you!
EDIT : I am adding Xolo MT6592 scatter file too in case you can't generate it. Remember to load scatter file uncheck all options leaving boot.img and recovery.img then flash the boot and recovery I provided ONLY XOLO HIVE USERS

bro i want to ask you about the scatter file, because you have not provided that and it is most useful. i have a xolo hive 8x 1000 and when i am trying to generate scatter file then this error comes. and i have read that this can brick the phone. And the person in the video you suggested in step 1 also said in his video not to proceed if any error comes. so please help.
Scatter file can be easily made :?
You just have to click block path tab it won't brick :/
Also I have provided Xolo HIVE recovery and bootpatched file! Just download this and flash it via SP Flash Tool! You can create scatter yourself! Watch the video!
Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and connect to PC and let mtk droid tools read it.When it does then you click on blocks map tab!

Well nothing worked for Xolo Hive if you read my guide too. Flashing SuperSU.zip ends up in a infinite binary update with failure
can you please root xolo 8x-1100
i also don't have pc
I certainly have helped rooting Xolo 8x-1100 and 8x-1200 to a member.
You need PC for flashing boot.img and recovery.img, Sorry my friend: (
Or try rooting via towelroot first then tell me if you succeed.
Also download your stock ROM from here and send me the recovery.img from it follow this link and download : Xolo Play 8x-1100 stock rom

You shouldn't have unlocked bootloader for rooting. Anyway,
Download and install these drivers again:
AQ4501_USBdriver
Also download and install VCOM drivers and CDC drivers in your PC (Google it)
If your phone is formatted and don't have any ROM, flash stock ROM using SP Tools v.5.1424 (Stock ROM and SP tools link)
(If you dont know to flash, ask me again)
Now root your phone by this working method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxlowF80deY

I have rooted my device and also installed vcom and cdc drivers. But not able to root in mtk droid tools again and this time backup option also doesn't appear in mtk droid tools. Can you help me?
Update:- I have unlocked and flashed cwm recovery and relocked it. When I boot into cwm recovery I get green sign in on mtk droid tools but soon I'm not able to run adb pull /system system in the adb terminal and when I normally boot I can't root my device in mtk droid tools even after installing vcom and CDC drivers. And also a question appears when I click on root like 'you want to root thorough established SU' like that i clicked on yes. Do I have to click no it do I have to install more drivers. Please help.

Don't get yourself too complicated..
If you have any custom recovery like CWM, just download SuperSU.zip and place it in SD card.
Then boot into recovery and flash (install) the zip file

No you didn't get it I had already rooted My device but the thing is I an trying to make a recovery flashable stock room zip for which I need to run "adb pull /system system" and when I did it skipped some beginning I don't know if they are important or not bit I want to do it perfectly. And I think the reason why it's not happening is because I didn't got green circle in the mtk droid tools.
Am I right?
The thing is I just want to port a ROM I.e. MIUI Rom but I followed two methods and they didn't work for me. I reach a point and then for failed. Like

You cannot just port MIUI to our Android One device.
Our MTK configs are very much different from the generic MTK6582 ones..
You can only build it from the source (it's way too difficult)
So I'd advise you to stop trying this (not discouraging you)
BTW, why do you want to get recovery flashable ROM zip??
They are already available in plenty throughout the forums.

Welcome to android one . He is the younger brother of google nexus device . And every device has a configuration which it is based on that is called config . generic means general and only mt6582 chipset means it's android one . And as a brother android one have to follow footpaths of his elder brother google nexus . So that is why like all other nexus devices it needs to be built from scratch if a the purpose is to build a custom rom . Regular mtk devices has a lot of similarity in their rom structure that is why they can be ported from one to another . i hope all of the noobs confusion cleared out now .
