The stock recovery what you have got.
If you press the home button, you can see the menu.
If you want to install a custom recovery, you can use my ported CWM, which works. This recovery is based on bgcngm ZTE V970 recovery, using his mtktools.
CWM 6.0.1.2 for Lenovo A390
md5sum : 8ef0d0a92682a93fe147436d0ce20549
You can install it - considering that your phone is rooted - with the help of MobileUncleTools; Possible ways from A820 thread.

Ok.Thanks sir :thumbup:

Red triangle dead android still appears even with your cwm
Hello Cappa. I too have rooted my Lenovo A390 using framaroot. and installed ROM Manager. Initially, ROM manager complained there is no clockworkmod recovery for my device model. I then flashed your clockworkmod recovery using spflashtool. Successful and ROM Manager finally detcted my clockworkmod too as version 5.x.x.x.. But, then when i tried to backup my current ROM, phone reboots and tries to enter recovery mode. But, then the dead android killed by a red triangle still appears. Help me!!!! Somewhere i read that it is the stock recovery icon and the phone should still be able to enter recovery mode using volume up, down buttons. Is it true. Somewhere, I read that TWRP must be used instead, because LENOVO A390 does not have cutom recovery. What should I do next? Suggest. If TWRP should be installed, I would wish to remove CWM first. Is it possible to remove CWM, after it has been flashed?
Sorry for lots of questions.
Will be grateful for your help.
Regards

There can be many reasons for not having the CWM.
You mentioned that you could flash the CWM.
I have not used ROM manager for MTK platform - I don't know if it is compatible with it. I used Mobileuncletools instead: you can change recovery with this program (can be downloaded from PlayStore - free app)
Right after you change the recovery from stock to CWM, then you have to enter into it.
And then make a backup directly from CWM.
This is my suggestion.
Also, I would recommend that run the chinese application remover, right after entering the CWM.
The reason why I suggest it that the stock rom can contain patches, which rewrite all the modified recovery to stock.

can i flash twrp recovery with same scatter file to remove cwm
One more question. I found on several forums that TWRP recovery works for Lenovo A390 and can be flashed using SPFlashtool. Will flashing the TWRP recovery overwrite the CWM recovery, if I use the same scatter file. I guess the scatter file provides the start and end address for flashing into ROM.

Hello,
I visited TWRP site as well as CWM recovery site. Niether of them supports Lenovo_A390_ROW, not listed. I guess coz the brand is new to the market. ROM Manager too complains that the phone model is not supported and I should wait until an official recovery from CWM is available. However, I googled and got one CWM recovery by cappa for Lenovo_A390 but got the dead android triangle. Then, I googled and got a TWRP recovery for Lenovo_A390_Row and flashed this one too (some friends suggested flashing with same scatter file overwrite the previous CWM). But, I still get the dead andorid with triangle icon. What is wrong? I guess the recovery images that I am flashing are not correct. Do you have the correct TWRP recovery image for Lenovo_A390_ROW?

How can I use SPflashtool and make the downloaded cwm 6.012 a scatter file?

I downloaded SPflashtool and the CWM recovery image. It says I need a scatter file and it couldn't continue. How do I make that CWM recovery image a scatter file to flash and how do you flash that into the phone using SPflasher? Do I need ROM Manager for that?

[Q] Bricked YuanDao N70S

Hello. I have recently bought YuanDao(Window) N70S tab, but it has been turning off every time i launched any app. I flashed ClockWorkMod and tried to flash this RockCream Sandwich ROM. First I wanted just to restart the tab (before installing custom ROM) but it only launched recovery menu), so I decided to flash this ROM. After another restart it just went dead. It's not recognized by RKAndroidTool, but my PC recognizes it, but i can't access its memory. Can be something done about this? Sorry for my English, because it's not my native language.
You can't install CWM on N70S.
Use RKbatchtool and revert to stock 4.1.1

I have a rooted n70s and cannot figure out how to install cwm recovery. I get the droid with the red triangle when I boot to recovery using both cwm ROM manager, quick boot, or the volume buttons. Is there another way to flash it?

[Q] Tiphone A508 bootloop after install font

I know it's kinda stupid to ask about this stuff. but i'm completely stuck with this bootloop thing.
so i got this Tiphone A508 with mt6572 inside. the spec is android 4.2.2, 3.5inch screen, 320x480pixels, dual camera (2mp and vga), and this writing in the 'about phone' :
moly.wr8.w1315.md.wg.mp.v15.p1
that's all i can remember about my phone because the cellphone is now in bootloop state. it happened after i installed a new font using ifont from the playstore. and the stupid thing about it is i don't have any usable backup.
i thought i had installed cwm recovery on the phone but i was mistaken, it was just the stock recovery (recovery 3e). and the backup i made with the stock recovery is completely useless.
i'm kinda lost of what to do now? i tried installing flashable zip stock jellybean font via the stock recovery but it always said 'installation aborted'
please someone tell me what to do
thanks
Find a TWRP recovery for your phone. The one flashable via stock recovery. And if it was a apk, try formatting/reset via stock recovery. Thanks!

been searching for any cwm or twrp for my device but no luck. i don't know what the real brand of my phone. Tiphone is just a rebrand in my country, but in China it must have its own name. So it's kinda difficult to find suitable cwm or twrp for my device.
Can i just use cwm recovery.img from another mt6572 device?

Hello,
I followed this post to root and install TWRP recovery on my Sprint Samsung Note 3. The root procedures went well, showing rooted successfully.However, I installed TWRP recovery using GooManager, and also tried installig through Odin.
It shows that TWRP recovery is successfully installed, but I am not able to boot into recovery. The phone seems to try to boot into TWRP for ever.....
Later I read this post, which says that Do not try on Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware!

You should be suing TWRP 2.7.0.1 and do not use goo manager.. Go to their site and click on the alternate download.. I do believe TWRP mentioned they disable the goo manage download because of issues.. Make sure you are also choosing the right phone.. I have choosing the wrong phone more than once.. Also when your done flashing in odin, and you reboot into recovery manually, make sure you wait until you see the line about recovery, before you release the 3 buttons, or you will just boot into your desktop.. Also you can use TWRP on KItKat firmware as many have done so..

I think i have messed up my recovery

Hi everyone, please I need help with my umi x2, I had cwm installed and had created all my backups successfully, I then changed my recovery to carliv touch recovery without issues.
I now tried to go back to normal cwm but carliv recovery wouldn't change. I was fustrated and mistakenly flashed a twrp recovery which wasn't for my phone and now I can't go back to cwm or carliv touch recovery which means I can't boot back into recovery. Each time I try to boot into recovery, it the phone hangs on the boot screen then after that it restarts and loads the android os to the home screen.
Any help on how to bout back to cwm will be most appreciated.
Thanks

Friend Install TWRP is more simple, and stable, CMW is good, but TWRP is better, this is my opinion
Look how to flash ur stockrom and make it. After that make the steps for the Cwm recovery and I can restore ur nandroid.

about lava iris 506Q. So I think to flash iris 504Q's
cwm recovery . I did this by using "flashify pro" android
flashing app It flashed it and reboots.
Then I checked whether it is done or not. When I want
to reboots to recovery by pressing home+volume.
+power key it does not boots to recovery mode rather it
boots to normal mode. Now I can use my android phone
rooted smoothly but I Lost my stock recovery for which
I can not reset my device and can not go to stock recovery and
my phone is now restricted.
Please help. I know it was my fault to flash wrong
recovery. But plz help I don't have any stock recovery
but I have stock ROM of my device and my device is
now rooted.
