[HELP] Porting CWM to MT6572 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all...
I previously ported CWM to my MT6572 device (i.e lava iris 402) using auto port tool for MTK phones . It ported , booted , i thought to make backup first , Then it made back up in just 10 sec , i thought something is going wrong . after that i rebooted the phone AND it was stuck on boot logo .
Tried to restore stock ROM via SP Flash tools but no luck , From day 1 it was not working in my phone , it shows error some thing like " layout has been changed"
Checked sd card on pc , saw the backup which recovery made was just of 10-20 MB
Nevertheless my phone was in warranty period so gave it to SVC , and have got it back ( Motherboard was changed , even those guys were not able to flash stock ROM)
In the mean time when i was phone less i unpacked the stock recovery.img , went to /etc/fstab file .. And saw that the partitions of /system , /cache and /data were ubifs instead of ext 2,3,4 or yaffs which are commonly used ...
Came to know that cwm does not support ubifs file system . This thing i think bricked my phone . Recovery which i ported was of MT6577 phone which had ext4 fs.
Now i want to know how can i port cwm to this cursed device ? Which uses an unknown ubifs file system . Bricked once earlier now i dont want to brick again ....
An ya idk why whenever i try to flash The phone via SP flash tools it always returns an error some thing like " PMT is ready , layout has been changed "
Any help is welcome guys ...!

Me too faced same problem. Copied the preloader from Sp flash to outside and it was OK with firmware upgrade. But this too didn't go well finally flashed stock ROM with new Sp flash and got back phone.
Flashed the cwm recovery of 3g rain mt6572 through mobile uncle tools but it was not functioning. Flashed the original recovery through the same tool and it is working.

Guys,
if you would like to install CWM recovery you have to install the recover.img using MTK Droid Root & Tools, you probably get the screen upside down but it doesn't matter since you don't use the CWM all the time
