CWM Recovery for Xolo Q1000 Opus (AKA Mobiistar Lai 504Q) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

EDIT: Use the method described by minhdangoz94 below.
Alternatively, boot into fastboot by "adb reboot-bootloader" and flash recovery.img from fastboot

Hi I have created a update.zip for the Xolo Q1000 Opus using the recovery.img created by minhdangoz (from mobiistar)
I created the zip form the stock firmware zip of the Xolo Q1000 Opus.
I deleted all other img from the zip and edited the updater_script and placed minhdangoz's recovery.img in the zip file.
This should flash the recovery.
I will be trying this on my phone when i get it back.
Feel free to use it -> View attachment 2723912
P.S the recovery is in vietnamese. you can use google translate . I am hoping to start working on the code written by minhdangoz and convert this to english soon.

I tried xolo stock rom and also kitkat. But both are giving the same error.
I have one more query, do i need to use "wipe data/factory reset" option first to load xolo rom on mobiistar?
I am having a xolo q1000 opus running on mobiistar software and want to revert back to xolo software.

Attention Xolo Q1000 OPUS owners..

but is the mobiistar ROM working?
Try this:
1. First see if you can still access xolo stock recovery. the new kitkat update is out so update that from recovery.
(to get into recovery read my post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712481
2. If you can't get into xolo stock recovery but if you can access adb then get into fastboot by using "adb reboot-bootloader" then flash stock xolo recovery. (ask me if you need xolo stock recovery.img for the opus)
3. use new kitkat updat.zip from xolo site. and flash from xolo stock recovery.
P.S if you find an easy method to root the phone please share.

Yes, Mobiistar is working on my opus.
i can access the stock recovery (my mobile is showing mobistar instead of xolo so i guess it is mobistar stock recovery)
although i have xolo stock recovery but i will still request to provide me another(may be my stock rom is bad)
I have the kitkat update (downloaded on 10th may)
today xolo site was showing two kitkat updates. please tell me which one to download.
i used vroot for rooting mobiistar.
on installing kitkat(downloaded on 10th may) it is giving the following error message " no file_contexts. This package is for Q1000 opus devices. This is a mobiistar touch LAI 504Q. Installation aborted."
Please help.

Firstly, note that the latest kitkat update for the Xolo Opus is the one mentioned at the top of the page. It's 294MB. The other update (16MB) is for the people who updated their phones with s010 version, which was bugged. The 294MB kitkat update.zip on the site now is the S011 version.
Link -> http://www.xolo.in/sites/default/files/Q1000-Opus-Update/XOLO_Q1000_Opus_KitKat_Update.zip
The stock xolo recovery provided by @kgarg on this thread is www.dropbox.com/s/vi4kl4qhz2ofipq/recovery.img and is confirmed to be working by @shubh971 on the same thread.
The device is not getting updated with the xolo update.zip maybe because of 2 things
1. The mobiistar recovery does not support the xolo ROM. in which case it is quite easy to fix by just flashing the stock xolo recovery from fastboot.
2. The bootloader is not allowing the flashing of the xolo ROM. in which case replacing only the recovery won't work.
If this is the case then you can do 2 things:
a. replace the bootloader and other partitions using the images stored in the new kitkat update.zip (using fastboot). This can be quite
risky so I recommend trying the next method. If you follow this method try to flash all the images from fastboot.
Then boot into recovery using the methods I described earlier and flash the xolo ROM. This time the device should detect itself
the Xolo Opus and it should update successfully.
b. The other method would be to use @minhdangoz94's CWM recovery and flash the kitkat update from the CWM which should allow
you to flash the kitkat ROM. I suggest you try this first. because then you'd be only replacing the recovery.
P.S to get to fastboot .. connect phone to computer and then use the command "adb reboot-bootloader" to flash the partitions use the fastboot commands to flash particular partitions. make sure that the .img files are stored in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Hope that helps.

@emperorsum
on using adb reboot-bootloader and other fastboot commands either device was not found or it kept waiting for device infinitely.
i could not understand why. according to me drivers are installed. the broadcom multidownloder software discussed above in this thread always detects my mobile. if u have some additional drivers then please send me the links. if there is some other problem then please guide me.

Ok.. My phone is now working on Mobiistar ROM as well.. I'll see if there is a way to bring Xolo back.. My brother has the same phone.. i'll ask him to send me the stock files and try... let's see... worst comes to worst - i am sure i can atleast manage to get a fully working English KitKat on the the phone even though it might not be from Xolo.. I'll let you know how it goes.. on this post... I'll also text you as soon as I find a solution... haha atleast now you aren't the only one with mobiistar on the xolo Opus.
Edit: I am using a temporary solution. your adb reboot bootloader is probably not working cuz of drivers. Dirvers try these drivers. they work. but u might have to manually replace the drivers in "Device Manager". what i did was, i made a back up of the system partition before i flashed the mobiistar ROM. now I used the CWM restore to restore the xolo ROM. I will upload the file.. it's www.xynocast.com/cwmbackup.zip . put the folder "clockworkmod" into root directory of your SD card. and boot into CWM. go to "backup and restore" -> "advance restore" "restore system". reboot xolo android 4.2.2 should boot. care though.. data might get lost
