Hey everyone,
I'm just posting this thread for the few of us who own the Blackview Ultra A6 iPhone clone, and are interested in flashing Philz recovery onto it.
I've ported this using an existing recovery image for the Honor Holly (HOL U19), since it shares similar specs to the Ultra.
Since im a new user I can't post links, so you'll have to copy and paste them in your browser.
Philz Recovery Download:
drive.google.com/open?id=0B_avemtx_A4KWmJpNUpVekxodkk
Scatter File:
drive.google.com/open?id=0B_avemtx_A4KMXFpTDEtcDJBOHc
Installation:
1. Make sure you make a new scatter file using MTK Droid Tools or download the Scatter above
2. Make sure the recovery.img file and the scatter are in the same folder
3. Using SP Flash Tools, select the scatter file you generated with droid tools or downloaded above.
4. Make sure "Download Only" is selected and only check the "RECOVERY" option
5. Make sure the RECOVERY file path points to the correct recovery image file
6. Flash and enjoy!
Hopefully this helps a few of you with flashing custom recoveries to the Ultra A6. Maybe in the near future we can port cyanogenmod to the Ultra!
If you would like me to port any other custom recoveries for the Ultra, please let me know!

So. I deceided to join this forum in order to ask for some help from all those people I saw while searching the net.
I have to admit I am quite a noob with mobile systems, although I have gone way too far the last 3 days!
Here is the problem: I have an mt6575 processor phone in which want to add Greek Language settings. I have downloaded a folder form the manufacture's site, but it didn't contain any instructions. Just some .bin files (ALICE.BIN VIVA.bin, SANSTAR50_6464_11B_BOOTLOADER_V005_MT6250_MAUI_11B_W11_32_SP_V1.bin and ZIMAGE_ER.bin)and a scatter file that can not be read by flash tool (scatSANSTAR50_6464_11B.txt).
After a lot of reading around here and a lot of other forums and sites I realised that in order to do anything, I had to root my phone. I wasn't able to do it through superclick or mtk droid tools so I followed the instructions I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
However, I am stuck on the final step.. I can't seem to get my phone on cwm mode... In fact I am not sure I know what exactly this is. I manage to open my phone on the android recovery utility but I am not able to make any choice. Everytime I press some of the menu's choises an android robot with an exclamation mark fills the screen and nothing happens...
Anyway..even if I manage to finalize the rooting process.. I still don't know what to do with the files I have... should I use them somehow on flash tool?
By the way.. The files come with a tool called Multiport Download Flash Tool which looks like Sp flash tool but has too many port options.
I'd be glad if someone helped me with this!
Thank you in advance,
Irene
1. Dump your stock recovery image then make a cwm or twrp (preferably twrp) from yueweng's thread for mediatek devices via old cwm or twrp port tool
2. Flash it via sp flash tool (download MTK 6575 scatter from internet)
3. Then reboot into recovery and if in twrp then reboot and it will ask you to root it or not
Or
If in cwm then download supersu Flash zip file and flash it
You have root access now
Press thanks if helped

Hi,
I tried uploading back up of rom taken from SP flash tool but file size is huge around 1.6GB. Alternatively CWM back up is small size of 333MB so you can use cwm back up to flash your phone. the link to download rom is as follows: -
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B6hkMCWEBsEPQy03SnBWNlNLUXM
Just extract the folder and store in your sd card. Do not overwrite or rename any file. than flash cwm recovery using sp flash tool. use this guide to flash cwm if you don't how how to do the same:-

Hello. Did you check if the bakup is working? Did you do a recovery from it at least once? I tried to install your backup on a TCL S720 phone which is the same phone (95% sure....) and it didn't work. It said on CWM recovery "Flash failed". I want to mention that the rom files you uploaded should be in the root of the zip file not in a directory. I've archived the file directly in the root and it didn't work. Any idea? Could you upload the whole rom, the 1.6 GB one and paste the link here please? I know many people is looking for it. Thank you.
tcl s720
I restored this nandroid from alcatel ot flash 6042d on to my TCL S720
The restore process went well,no errors,but the rom is not booting it is in a boot loop.
I tried substituting boot.img from tcl s720 but no luck,I even tried patched boot.img,no luck either.
So,I hope someone with mad porting skillz will be able to port this alcatel 6042d rom to tcl s720.
@jhalife
If you can upload the whole backup 1.6gb made with sp flash tool I will be very grateful and many other TCL S720 will be grateful also
Thanks

Hey Jhalife,
Could you send the CWM Recovery because my phone is bricked and I can't possibly make a custom recovery at this stage. I have a TWRP so I can install CWM Recoveries.
I tried to install custom rom on my phone. Flashed wrong recovery, after changed to working recovery (which i had previously) phone didnt detect sim cards. I think it was because of system so thats why need system.img. And boot.img because read somewhere to flash boot.img using fastboot, so flashed and phone have bootloop now. Thank you from the mountain. So I think if i flash boot.img and system.img with fastboot it will work fine again.
EDIT: Found stock rom at russian forums gsmforums.ru and 4PDA forum
Phone working but I still have problem that it can't read SIM cards. It's dual sim and both sim cards don't working tried with some other cards and don't work too. Someone have any idea? It's wrong recovery flash problem? :/ Because phone can't read cards since i flashed wrong recovery and returned to working one. Thanks, hope for fast reply.
Help
I have found the ROM but it would be helpful if you could link it too. I haven't flashed android before and don't know how to do it properly, so it would be of great help if you could tell me how you did it. I have tried few things but with no success.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I've bought 3 new phones already in the meantime so I stopped watching the forum for the solution. Here's the link for the stock rom: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z You should be able to download it without any problems. If You encounter some problems then tell me in next reply and I'll upload the rom to the other hosting site. Next thing You should download is a file from this link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z It contains scatter file which includes required info for SP Flash Tool to flash the image. Extract both files to the same folder on Your desktop so it'll be easier to find them. To flash the rom You have to download and install SP Flash Tool. It would be best if You'd follow the tutorial on YouTube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CxDF2pkdCQ Here's the link to SP Flash Tool official site: https://spflashtool.com/ In the flashtool You should select download agent which is inside the tool folder and is most likely named something like "MTKallinoneDL". Then You should select scatter file from the rom folder which is named something like "mt6752_android_scatter" The next step is to select the "download only" option from the menu. You should follow the video on how to install the drivers and what steps You should take to connect the device correctly to the pc. So once again:
1. Download all the files and extract them:
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z << stock rom
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z <<scatter file etc.
* https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126 <<mtk preloader drivers
* https://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win.zip << Latest version of SP Flash Tool
2.Install the MTK preloader drivers as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=219&v=sADkzyI8Z5Q
3.Open SP Flash tool and select download agent, scatter file and select "download only" option from the drop down menu. (NOTE: You should open SP Flash Tool as administrator to avoid any problems)
4.Select checkboxes for ANDROID, BOOTIMG, RECOVERY.
5.Click the downlaod button (before connecting Your phone)
6.Connect Your phone without battery to Your pc.
7.Now wait untill the message window pop-ups with "download OK" message.
If You have trouble using the SP Flash Tool here's another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKpt0TLE6_A NOTE: If You flash Your phone with "FORMAT ALL AND DOWNLOAD" You could erase Your IMEI partition which will result in another problems with phone calls etc. It's best if You select download only and select only these 3 partitions I mentioned earlier. If You encounter any problems please let me know in Your future reply.
Hi ,everyone ,
I'm sharing this recovery , ported by Syed Ahmed Ali Shah (All credits to him)
How to install:
Download Spflashtool and recovery zip file
Extract the zip file , you will find the recovery.img + scatter file
Open Spflashtool , and load that scatter file.
The recovery should appears now (in spflashtool , it is supposed to be chacked/selected)
Choose download only and press on download button
Turn of your device ,and plug it in
wait till the succes mark appears
unplug you're device and boot directly to recovery
the recovery will ask you t allow system modification , don't allow for now ...because this will brick (not really,it will stops at logo, can be fixed by rooting it) you're device..
Rooting the device :
Now that you have the recovery ,Download supersu.zip file and flash it with that recovery...
Backup your firmware before rooting/ allowing modification
I'm not responsible for any damage that could happen , do it at your own risk
Hello I have succeeded to boot to TWRP recovery tool but i don't see the buttons
I see only ReadOnly, Language
and also Give permission modification
and I am afraid to brick my new Allure A55 Slim
For updated rom
This method is suitable for marshmallow OTA updated? Because it is impossible to make a backup of rom/data in the MTK Droid tool, as well as generate a scatter file.
Done. TWRP has been flashed, then rooted. The current scatter file can be generated from a ROM backup created by SPFlashTool, using the WwR_MTK software. And also cuting the ROM to img files for flashing, look at 4pda.ru, really powerful combine.
Works for Blu Vivo 5 mini??

If you can make a backup and know how to use the recovery tools, then you can try. But I recommend trying a safer way first. With the Kingoroot application or AutoRoot Tools on this link https://qitapso.com/how-to-install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-blu-vivo-5-mini/ (works on Lollipop)
Hello,
I've been recently trying to root my Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) using SP Flash tool,
however, I haven't found the correct scatter file for my device. Does anyone know where
I could find a MT6737 scatter file? Thanks in advance!
Hi. From my experience, correct scatter files that work (not just any random scatter file) reside in a ROM/Firmware zip.
Doing a little searching, I found that you can download stock firmware for you device from Asus officially. They offer them in the support section.
Here is the link: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
Should you download the official firmware specific to your device and unzip the file, (in all probability) you will also find the correct scatter file which you are looking for (something like xxxxx_scatter_file.txt).
(also keeping in place a stock rom is never but never a bad idea )
However... You mentioned that you need the scatter file to root??? I have not any idea as to why you would need SP Flash tool for any other reason than flashing stock.
Unless you are flashing full custom rom which cannot be flashed through recovery perhaps?
Anyway... Good luck!!!
Thanks for the quick response!

I needed the Flash tool because I was trying to flash TWRP, and from there install superuser. I did as you said, but when I tried loading the scatter file
the program recognized it as invalid. A huge thanks for the help though!!!

Ok... No worries!! We will probably figure it out in the end.
By the way, I am not sure I understand exactly how you were going to use SP Flashtool to flash TWRP. From my experience it does not work that way. You need platform tools (adb and fastboot).
platform tools here ----> https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
It is with these that you will unlock bootlader, and after bootloader is unlocked, first flash supersu, install busybox and lastly flash twrp.
Please look at my how-to root and twrp section. It is not for your device, but it will give you a good idea of the process: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727
