Hello XDA Community
I've been trying hard in using sp flash to flash the custom recovery from the previous kitkat to my updated 5.0.2 lenovo A5000 device and to my dismay i failed in every way, unlike kitkat.
in mtk driod tool there i found a file "recovery-from-boot.p" in the system which restores the default android recovery; i cant even flash a recovery using fastboot because it always states the following: "Failed(remote: unknown command)" i even tried unlocking the bootloader and it just does nothing!
I even tried replacing the recovery.img when flashing with sp tools and it doesnt use the custom recovery! XDA why this is happening! ????????????????????????
Is there a way to place a custom recovery in A5000 with S123 (lollipop update)?
Looking forward for all champions of XDA for help....
test with previous versions of sp flash tool..

Hello,
I need the SISTEM.IMG file for my ZTE V967s to flash with SP Flash Tools ... where can I find it?
... I've made a mistake and now my phone enter in boot-looping no matter the rom I install ... only I can do actually is to enter in CWM recovery (cwmr 6.0.1.2)
Regards
If You are enter To recovery, Wipe data Farmat. And flash another rom like 1.0.5

So, today i bought my P780, there is preinstalled heweikeji CWM recovery v6.0.4.4, it's also prerooted, but i want to install TWRP recovery and every time when i try it via flash tool it say "pmt changed for the rom; it must be downloaded". I tried also instal twrp via mobile uncle tool, but there is still cwm recovery after reboot. Also it can't make backup, problem: "backing up boot image" and nothing happens long time after that, 10 minutes or more.
How to install custom recovery and how to find out version of firmware? I am not sure it's chinese or ROW? Which ROMs to flash?
Build number: VIBEUI_V2.0_1437_7.14.1_ST_P780
Baseband version: P780.V101, 2014/03/12 15:06
Thanks in advance!
I did it!
HowTo: Full backup with MTK Droid Tools, then in mtkdroidtool make scatter file and use them together with recovery.img (i downloaded ) with sp flash tool (SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01), tried to flash with flash tools 3, but there was error on boot screen (tool DL image fail).
Now TWRP work flawlessy...

Try using windows 10 PC
Enter recovery mode in your PC and disable driver verification
How I root
When I root my devices I usually download the oldest or second oldest version of kingo root, and try to root it three or more times with that older version of kingo root. This worked on my old Xperia E4 lollipop, and even worked on my Lenovo P70 kitkat
Hello everybody.
Almost 2 years from Lenovo K5 Note release and We're still searching for twrp, root, unlocking bootloader...
In Lollipop 5.1 We can root it, but We can't unlock the bootloader !!!
Marshmallow We cannot even root it.
I've tried to port TWRP from almost all MT6755 devices but doesn't matter because everytime I try to flash it with SP Flash Tools is always the same error: BROM ERROR: status_sec_imghdr_type_Mismatch. When I try to flash it with Flashfire, Flashify or the TWRP app the recovery disappears and I have to flash the original recovery again.
When I try to unlock the bootloader the volume up button doesn't work. (It's not hardware problem)
The only flashable rom it's Lenovo's rom.
Every help is welcome.
Thanks.
Hello everybody. I join you to learn some patience as well as gether some knowledge.
Anyway I tried to flash twrp in my k5 a7020a48 using adb fastboot but unable write even device is disconnected. Then I have to hard reset.
Any method to unlock bootloader for Lenovo K5 Note (MT6755)?
i have a problem while flashing Android 7.12 ROMs for HTC Desire 620g (stock 4.4.2). My problem started with recovery flashing issues. Fastboot mode for this particular model doesn't support recovery flashing. I've dig up other way of flashing recovery - via MTK Droid Tools and MTK SP Flash Tool. It worked like a charm.
Then I started with ROM flashing - I couldn't flash any of 7.12 ROMs I've found for this model (XOSP, LineageOS, ResurrectionOS, ViperOS). All of them crashes with this same error :
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms : lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
I've made some digging, and found out that this error is due to incompatibility recovery with android 7.12. I've also found the information that update CWM to newer version would resolve this issue. Although, due to recovery being flashed via MTK SP Flash Tool, I'm now stuck on CWM 5.5.0.4. I can't update it via Rom manager - CWM is not event detected by app, and thus I can't update it via APP. I can't replace it with fastboot (due to fastboot not supporting flashing recovery), and I can't install TWRP via app TWRP - installation bricked recovery mode, so I had to restore it from original files through SP Flash Tool.
So now is the main question - does anybody know how to update CWM or install TWRP via SP Flash Tool? Is there any way to replace default CWM used by MTK Droid Tool, so I can generate the recovery image for SP Flash Tool with newer CWM or TWRP?
Or maybe there's other way to replace recovery or make it working in fastboot? I've read that the main cause with flashing recovery is not doing it in download mode. But I CANT run FASTBOOT in download mode with VOL DOWN + POWER sequence, because it runs chineese test menu and not FASTBOOT. The only way I can run fastboot is "reboot to fastboot" via adb, and this one doesn't work with flashing recovery.
Also tried to flash recovery via Mobileuncle Tools app. Still nothing. Every recovery image I've found doesn't work. Only one that works (and I've found on this forum) is 5.5.0.4 (the same MTK Droid Root & Tools generates). I've also tried to search recovery in original thread on 4pda forum, but all recovery images posted there are already deleted.
Or maybe if anyone have the same model with alredy flashed newer CWM recovery and could share it, I would be greatly appriciated.
