It is not necessary to have the same android source as your device's android version to make cwm. CWM is part of the kernel and not the android system. Your device's kernel will be extracted and the ramdisk will be replaced with cwm ramdisk and after that the kernel will be built with cwm ramdisk then you can use it as recovery.
If you want I can help you out with twrp recovery. I have done it for LG L65 and L70. If you want my help with twrp then please download omni rom sources (manifest: https://github.com/omnirom/android ) or just replace bootable/recovery folder with the omni's one in your cm source tree, get kernel source code for your device or have a boot.img, make sure your device has a recovery partition so recovery is not part of the kernel image as a secondary ramdisk like on samsung devices otherwise I could not help.

Making custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Ace II ("codina")

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to port Kali Nethunter for my Samsung Galaxy Ace II (codename "codina"). I followed Kali Nethunter porting instructions and finally got zImage file.
After that I was trying to make a boot.img file by splitting CyanogenMod 11 boot.img into 2 parts, replacing 1 with my zImage and repacking it. But the problem is that I can't get ramdisk from boot.img.
If I use boot.img from CyanogenMod, I get error
Code:
Android Magic not found in boot.img. Giving up.
I tried to get it from the official ROM, but it is packed in tar.md5. And I don't know whether I can use that ramdisk with CyanogenMod's files.
How can I finally get working flash zip that can be installed using CWM?
I can't use links yet, so I attached them in links.txt (links to sources, ROMs and instructions that I use).
Thanks for help!

Need a custom ROM for Micromax Canvas Doodle 3(a102) with 1 and 8 GB RAM and ROM .

Hey guys,I searched the forums for custom ROMs for my device but all were useless First I stumbled upon emotion lollipop(named Note4.zip or something) which I was able to flash with carliv touch recovery easily but my device did not boot.Then I tried myanogrn mod 12.1 and 13.1 both unable to install with any recovery I installed(carliv,philz,cwm) showing error of some 'status 7' and when I try to fix it with the assert deletion there is no assert lines in the ROM's update-script . Finally I decided to post the question here to find if any of you know the answer.My device is running on KitKat(4.4.2) stock ROM,rooted, baseband version:MOLY.WP8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43,2014/05/29 11.15.
Kernel version:3.4.67 and build is:ZAW1800G_060A_V8_2_5.
If anybody knows any ROM update please send me a message with the link to download the ROM file.Thank you.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 13 for Cherry Flare S Play

Hello Everyone,
I made Cyanogenmod 13 build for moto e condor(which is supported by cyanogenmod), then I installed it using twrp recovery and it's working fine.. But now from this cyanogenmod source code I made cyanogenmod 13 build for cherry mobile flare S Play (which is not supported by cyanogenmod) by follwing "How To Port CyanogenMod Android To Your Own Device" wiki page.. I did all the steps as mentioned in this page and one more extra thing I did that I changed kernel folder of surce code(which is kernel version 3.4) with another kernel source code (kernel version 3.10.72), because cheery mobile flare s play has 3.10.72 kernel version..
I build Zip file successfully for Cherry mobile flare s play and I installed it using twrp recovery but after installing while doing reboot system it's only showing flare s play icon and then black screen is coming.. now I am not able to install cyanogenmod 13 build in cherry mobile flare s play
Please do help if anyone knows..
Thanks
Fall-through from normal boot mode
hieuvan said:
Although I don't own the device, but here's some common solutions that you can try:
Restoring the old kernel to your build?
Carefully check the new kernel to make sure it's compatible with the firmware?
Re-flash stock ROM then re-flash your build again?
Cheers!
