It sounds like you have two problems:
1. You have a Recovery (CWM) that's not the one you want.
2. You may be in jeopardy of loosing your NVRAM (Wifi Mac / MEID) if things get really bad, since you've lost your backup folder.
What I would do to get back to CWM 5...
1. get VCOM USB drivers installed
2. get SP Flash Tool installed
3. Find the appropriate scatter file and CWM recovery.img
4. open the scatter file in SPFT
5. then select *JUST* the RECOVERY block to write over
6. choose Download to write over that chuck of flash with the CWM5 recovery.img
(update: also there is a way to replace a recovery from within a recovery, someone might have cooked one of those up on the A2107 threads. It would be an update.zip that didn't do much other than flash the recovery.img to the proper part of flash)

Hi!
1. I would like to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (or any other recovery method) on my Tianji i9220 device, because the phone hasn't got too many features, if i push volume+ +power button the Factory menu has only tests and reboot option, but i would like to flash another rom on the device, but i don't want to try until i haven't got a recovery option. If someone can help me, it would be nice! (I installed goomanager and i can enter to cwm recovery mode from it, but if i would like to flash the cmw to the phone, idk which version sould i choose)
The device is already rooted, with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872072 (the webtrickz one)
2. If do you now any other method to backup and restore my ROM it would be good to me! I found a tool called Smart Phone Flash tool. I think it can do it, but i don't know how. Correct me if this program has other purposes.
(If anyone has some patience and would like to help me, you can add me on msn or skype by kanduur_patrik[.-at-.]hotmail.com thanks!)

Well, you know what, you might as well forget about the German
1.) download the flash tool here: http://sdrv.ms/SVnuBD to the folder c:\users\[your username]\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00
2.) run c:\windows\System32\hdwwiz.exe.
3.) choose "Choose hardware manually from a list"
4.) choose "Show all devices"
5.) choose "Disk..." , point to the c:\users\[your username]\Downloads\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00\MTK6577 VCOM USB Driver\usb2ser_Win7_864.inf
6.) choose "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port"
7.) accept to install a non-signed driver even if Windows warns you to do it
8.) remove your Tinji's battery
9.) run the flash tool
10.) click on "Scatter-loading" and open the "MT6577_Android_Scatter_emmc" scatter file
11.) untick "BOOTIMG" and "ANDROID", double-click on "RECOVERY"
12.) choose the "cwm_recovery.img" file
13.) click on "Download"
14.) ignore the "Download Warning"
15.) re-insert the battery, press "Vol Up" [or "Vol Down"]on your Tinji and connect it with the computer
16.) the flash tool should start flashing the modified recovery.img, you might keep pressing "Vol Up", it's not necessary, but anyway the flashing doesn't take long
17.) done!
You can now restart your Tinji anytime you want in recovery, either from Goo Manager or from ROM Manager (funnily enough, pressing "Vol Down" on starting the phone didn't work anymore lately).
Whenever you need your original ("Android system recovery <3e>") recovery, you'll find it under c:\users\[your username]\Downloads\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00\recovery.img to re-flash it. [Edit 4/12/12: does for some reason not seem to work, AC]
If there's still problems on installing the driver under 6.) and/or you are running Windows other than 7 or 8 and/or other than x64 [64 bit], let me know.
In case of any other problems, feel free to ask!
Thank you!
I will try it, do you know which roms working well with this phone?

Big thanks go out to javum from forum.china-iphone.ru!
hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my bad english ...
I have a tinij i9220 (rooted) and I would like to load the recovery, I downloaded your TWRP, which contains the file recovery.img. To load it on my tinij, I use a tool that I found in the market: mobileuncle Tools, in the menu of the application, there is a function to overwrite the stock recovery: Recovery Update. In this way it would be easier than using SP FLASH TOOL.
you think it's dangerous? I DO NOT HAVE THE BACKUP of my phone.
thanks for everything.

Hey Massimo,
I'm German sorry for my bad Italian...and for your prime minister too, hehe...
I just don't know about mobileuncle - the screenshots were all Chinese, I never downloaded it.
Became addicted to SP Flash Tools - you might notice my signature
First thing I did I backed up my phone - did not work for the recovery which I don't need anymore anyway but worked fine for the system.img and boot.img.
Have bricked my phone since then a hundred times and SP always made my day saving me in the end.
I think it's dangerous to not have a backup. But not for you as have have *my* backup (of system.img + boot.img) which you might download at any time.
I never wrote what happened after installing TWRP - I like it very much, and it's easier than Clockworkmod and it has touch screen functionality and I knew it from my ZTE Skate before but - believe it or not it does not work with the fact that the Tinji has an internal SD card.
I mean maybe I just did not find the option, but I backuped (on the internal SD card) and then was unable to restore for TWRP couldn't find the internal SD much different than Clockworkmod.
So I reflashed Clockworkmod and keep sticking to it ever since.
Have fun,
Alessandro
thanks for the quick reply, so you advise me to use SP FLASH TOOL and CWM, right? To do my first backup I first load the CWM, I do not think there is a way to backup without CWM ...
See you soon

Well, how would you get the CWM on the phone if not with SP Flash Tool?
By just downloading the ROM Manager from Google Play - that was my idea, did not work
Me, I recommend SP, but that's strictly personal.
Whenever you flashed the CWM recovery, you can happily start backuping!

Hi Everyone i'm a newbie in this field so correct me if i'm wrong with some terms...
It's really frustrating to accidentally delete 'build.prop' without backing up and having only blackscreen showing up when you reboot is annoying isn't it? Well luckily i have made some fix here it is
BUT... make sure:
1.you have your drivers correctly installed
2.you installed your Android SDK and Java SDK(Note: java sdk must be the first to be installed)
3.you installed your adbfastboot
4.you can access to recovery and download mode(research on how to execute it.)
5.most helpful if you have installed PDANet on your PC(it will help you determine if your adb is runnning)
6.you have downloaded the suitable .img clockworkmod file(needed for flashing
7.you downloaded you're stock rom/custom rom (it's up to you)
6.you have internet acess(needed for researching since i can't provide the links)
7.and especially PATIENCE!
LET's BEGIN.
1.Put your phone into download mode
2.Then wait for notifications and check if an Android Device is installed
3.You installed your fast boot now you're ready to flash your .img clockworkmode file
...3.1.Open your cmd
...3.2.CD your path for the adbfastboot
...3.3.then type 'fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod.img' (without the quotes)
4.Now that you installed your CWM put the downloaded ROM into your SDcard then mount it to your device
5.Remove then re attach the battery and proceed to recovery mode(research on how to execute your phone's recovery mode)
6.Then now you're in cwm recovery mode you may now flash a stock/custom rom
(use your volume buttons to go up and down and power button to enter)
...6.1.Clear your data
...6.2.In the menu choose 'apply update from SD card' then install from SDcard
...6.3.Toggle and locate where you have place the rom
...6.4.Choose the desired rom then enter, then the package will install wait until it finishes and go again to the main selection menu
...6.5.Reboot and there you have it you have just revived your phone
Another Method is by using adb
1.Find the build.prop that you deleted for your phone
2.Push it inside of the adb ex.(adb push<file location> [space] <remote>)
this is my first post hope i helped you...
hey....
my x-bo o2 phone..
stock on boot animation although i reset and reboot it it still stock...
because i replace a new build prop came from my old phone ...after i reboot my phone ..it wont start..
heellp plz..
I think you have to flash the firmware with odin.
Replace permission
Permission change is required for work.

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers - Click on O.S.
You'll find your stock system there. Instructions for loading it are included in the zip downloaded. I believe the EMEA Gen1 is for the generic worldwide version, but you might want to verify that. I know that the ORGFr one is for Orange France and the little "s" at the end would signify single SIM versions.
Found this guide to install recovery:
One. Loads Famaroot Just "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk" follow the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?s=e12cbb38af7dd8a173308bb ...
The. Apk to be installed on the Z3 - Z3s / Once installed, it's ordered by phone root app Famaroot.
Two. TWRP 2.4.4.0 files stored on your SD-Card llllllll2510 to post the link here.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0XQigIT17uEcDQtaDJ3U0UtOWc/edit?pli=1
PS. Files Name TWRP24Recovery_Z130_D10-02-14.img.
Do NOT paste it in a folder deep secret I do not find.
Three. Install app "[ROOT] Recovery Tools - Flasher" on the phone to me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Then, with a flash TWRP 2.4.4.0 [ROOT] Recovery Tools - Flasher by.
Select top (Flash Recovery) and select the top (Other from Storage).
Then browse to the file TWRP24Recovery_Z130_D10-02-14.img. Flash to order
At the end of the process [ROOT] Recovery Tools - Flasher will ask you to reboot into recovery-mode or not.
I answered yes to the reboot to check the flash recovery ... we just finished it.
NOTE ***: It may cause damage to the machine. Or insurance
You must accept the risks in the operation of your own.
I found this on a forum that was in a foreign language to me and used Google Translate to get this info. You can find the original thread here:
http://droidsans.com/node/153986
For returning to stock for warranty issues, just use the original firmware you downloaded from Acer.
Tried the first part flashing the ROM using the provided stock Roms.
That failed it downloads but as soon as first real install occurs it rejects and aborts install access or accept error.
And returns the key part of the file name
I think? No expert at all ? The stock ROM updates do not match the previous ROM on my z30. Do not exactly know the specs of my original ROM proximus.... ??? Would have preferred gen ROM overriding all that stuff?
Or do I need to force adb/ fastboot only to load the system partition.???? But what is the adb/ fastboot command then exactly do I need to expand the zip a second time? After extract zip and instruction PDF?
Will delay cwm tarp after first signs of life of the phone.
Thanks for your answer
sometimes I know.
often I do not know.
Its always good to be able to ask.
Hi,
My friend gave me this phone to update the rom, but I'm facing a problem. Device was rooted, recovery is installed, but some really old one - it doesn't even say what kind of recovery it is. So I read that I need to update to TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev.2. Tried flashing it with TWRP apk, but after choosing it and hitting install, it reboots and goes into old recovery and I can't install new TWRP. Then I tried installing it with this guide: http://rootoreviews.com/root-Lenovo-P780-install-twrp-custom-recovery , but I'm getting error: partition 'recovery' not support flash.
Lastly I tried with SP Flash Tools, but I can't install drivers. After holding red button 2 seconds and plugging cable there is no device unknown to install drivers or any kind of device looking like this phone.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi. I have read your message and you have to do this:
First Tutorial.
I see that you have installed allready one custom recovery.
1. Download TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. After download putt the zip file to your root of your internal memory
3. Reboot to your current recovery and install twrp
4. After install power down your phone.
5. Start your phone again with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
6. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
7. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
8. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
9. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Seccond Tutorial
1. Look in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. Download TWRP_v2.8.4.0 rev2 and read twice that tutorial
3. Go to this post and download SP Flash Tool: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk
4. Go to this post and download latest stock KITKAT and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202
5. When you install the drivers in windows 8,10 you must disable driver signing. Look on youtube.
6. Now you must flash new system.
7. Unpack stock Kitkat firmware.
8. Unpack TWRP.
9. Go to firmware folder and delete recovery.img and replace with TWRP
10. Flash the firmware.
11. After flash boot at least once. If by any chance your phone is Lenovo P780 speed edition, after this flash will not start. This means that you need the latest preloader. Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
12. After flash reboot in recovery by powering off the phone and start with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
13. Now you have last stock firmware with custom recovery installed. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
14. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
15. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
16. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Tried to flash from this weird recovery, but I get error - look at pic.
I didnt flash this recovery, it must've been flashed by seller in my country. It looks like he way buying chinese versions and then flashing modified rom with polish language (very poorly translated).
Problem with sp flash tools is, I cant install usb driver. When Im in download mode I get the sound that usb device has been plugged in and after 1 second i get the unplugging sound. There is no unknown device in Device Manager, do I am not able to update the driver :/

One more question before I try to flash, I got CN verision, u answered to me in different thread:

Hi,
Sorry for delay, wasn't at home during weekend. Im flashing right now, but I had to use "Format all + download", cause only download showed error: "PMT changed for the ROM it must be download". Now I can flash the ROW version of custom rom or CN ?
Hmm I have still stock recovery not TWRP, although I replaced it with TWRP. File size matches perfectly...
Ok, worked but I flashed it with ROW version of recovery, making backup at the moment.
Got an error installing minovo_NOTE_6.12.1_ROW.zip, couldn't boot into recovery after so I decided to flash via SP Flash Tools one more time. After that booted into recovery and once more I have stock recovery xD I'm in serious WTF mode right now
Hmm I think I screwed something. After booting Kit Kat it says "Invalid imei" :/ I guess I will have to restore with MTK droid tools ? Can you guide me through that ?

Got an error installing minovo_NOTE_6.12.1_ROW.zip, couldn't boot into recovery after so I decided to flash via SP Flash Tools one more time. After that booted into recovery and once more I have stock recovery xD I'm in serious WTF mode right now
Hmm I think I screwed something. After booting Kit Kat it says "Invalid imei" :/ I guess I will have to restore with MTK droid tools ? Can you guide me through that ?

Hi. Look on this location:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3174563
Send from my Lenovo P1 Vibe Pro with 3 Gb of RAM and 32 Gb of Internal Storage.
Sorry for annoying you once again. When I try to flash anything in TWRP I get error "unable to mount /system". I read that it could mean that system partition might have incorrect file system. What is the standard one for p780?
It happens when I flash the stock KK with TWRP recovery, then I want to flash Superuser. I need superuser to use MTKdroidtools to restore IMEI.
My biggest problem is when I boot the Stock KK after flashing and power OFF, I can't boot to TWRP recovery. Instead it's booting stock recovery. Only way to to boot to TWRP or any custom recovery (tried CWM) is only after fresh flashing with SPflashtools, but I can't flash superuser. If I format /system I can install superuser (no error unable to mount /system), but I have no system to boot to use MTKdroidtools.
This phone is driving me crazy....
UPDATE:
Ok i managed to restore everything, thanks for help. Can't flash custorm rom still but im making different thread.

I was trying adb&fastboot methods
1. Bootloader unlock (fastboot oem unlock) ---> this works and bootloader was unlocked
2. Flash recovery from other phones with the same SOC (Mediatek MT6580A) ---> i still with stock recovery, nothing happens. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Any suggestion is welcome
install magisk manager to your phone, download firmware and extract boot.img from it.
patch boot.img with magisk manager, the new patched_boot.img has to be flashed to the phone with sp flash tools in "download mode".
Mine is rooted with this method, but I didn't manage to build twrp for this device.
