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.

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...
I am looking for a working ROM for this device. I can't use recovery because my phone is stuck at formatting /data. I did a google search and I found that there are ROMs for the original viper (without I) but I couldn't find any for mine except the zips. But those has to be flashed in recovery which I can't access therefore I need to use SP Flash Tool.
Im new into rooting so i succesfully unlocked my bootloader and installed the twrp recovery via flash now i have the problem that my phone always boots into the recovery mode no matter what, i have a sonyz2 D6503 andriod 6.0.1 i follow a tutorial on youtube . now i have read a few threads that it is wrong to install twrp with fastboot flash boot C/:whaterver.img i should have done it with fastboot flash recovery C/:whatever.img . Im kinda stuck now and i have no idea what to do moreover im kinda scared to do something, because it can cause more damage that i already have.
im kinda sorry for my horrible english i hope you can understanf this trouble
If you want to proceed back to stock ROM, flash stock FTF using flashtool (download link and instructions can be found inside my signature), with KERNEL and SYSTEM checked, other leave other options intact.
If you want to flash another non-stock ROM, flash an advanced kernel via fastboot toolbox inside the flashtool I mentioned above, then you can flash the ROM using the TWRP inscribed with the advanced kernel.
If you want to proceed to stock ROM but rooted and with other MODs installed, there are two ways to do so:
Easier method:
Flash an advanced kernel then use the pre-installed TWRP to flash the SuperSU.zip or whatever MOD zips.
Complex method:
Restore stock kernel using flashtool mentioned above, then flash the TWRP (recovery) image (you can get one HERE) using a cmd on PC or Laptop with ADB and flastboot drivers installed, typein:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.IMG
then you can boot into the TWRP to flash whatever MODs you want.

As always, do more research before entering into tweaking things, noobness can be fatal!
Hi, I want to install custom rom on my tablet but I can't flash or enter into any custom recovery I know.
Tablet specs:
It's a chinese BDF tablet 10''
Brand: JTY
Board: KT107_L1_20160428
Procesor: MT6580
Kernel: 3.10.72+
Android: 6.0 Marshmallow
I tried to do it using many tutorials and many ways founded on many forums, including this, without success.
During these attempts I unlocked root and bootloader, installed on my pc ADB drivers, Google USB drivers, MTK vcom drivers, PdaNet, on my device PdaNet, BusyBox, TWRP manager and ROM manager.
First I tried to install TWRP recovery using the newest recovery from their website and 3 others recoverys which I found on the internet and should be dedicated for my tablet. I installed each one of them using ADB in Command window, SP flash tool and Easy magic TWRP installer, which is dedicated for any MediaTek device, both ways: manual and automatic. Every attemp was successful but every time when I checked in TWRP manager, it said what I don't have any custom recovery installed on the device, when I tried to enter into it through the boot menu it wasn't entering into TWRP, only the chinese stock recovery.
Then I tried with Easy magic PhilZ 6 installer, but the effect was the same.
At the end I tried to install CWM using MTK Droid Tools, but this program doesn't see my device and I couldn't fix this.
Could any of you help me somehow, explain or give me a right recovery file so that it works. I really want to change my Android to a LineageOS and I'm tired of my fails. I'm working on this 5 days, accidently bricked it, stucked on bootloop and stucked on logo screen so many times that I can't even count, I'm desperate for help.
any luck yet ?
Hi !
I have the exact same issues with my Chinese BDF tablet. No matter how i try to Flash a custom bootloader to the tablet, it simply wont work... Even tho it looks like i succeed, whenever i want to boot into the custom bootloader, it always boot into the installed chinese bootloader, and the chinese bootloader wont let med flash custom firmware to the tablet. Let me know if you find a fix, and i will do the same if i succeed installing a different bootloader
I did not see this specifically in your question so as far as i understand it. You first flash the twrp.img, this is a temporary boot file. DO NOT REBOOT YET. flash Magisk.zip and twrp.zip - now reboot and you should be rooted.
For whatever reason I can't budge the tool to flash the latest fastboot ROM on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that I plan to sell since my new phone arrived today. A custom ROM from the last year is currently installed on the device.
I installed the latest Universal ADB drivers, installed the latest Mi Flash tool (2020.3.14.0), put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC via USB 2.0 port and tried to flash the latest fastboot stable ROM via the tool with "clean all" option and most of the time what happens when I hit the flash button, the fastboot logo on the phone disappears and in the left top corner a small white text "hit any button to restart" or something like that appears. Only once a progress bar appeared with $fastboot bla bla bla II echo missmatching image and device" and that was it... no progress, again the white text prompting me to hit any button to restart appeared on the screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? cmonBruh

Hello.. I will try to help you.. And tell me if you fixed that..
Can you install a custom recovery? Twrp?
Id you can do that fallow my steps..
First download the fallowing twrp from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14cRc4UG4hzL45cDhdFZ7odr5Kb8LSai0/view
It can support ota update and your phone will boot I used it to flash my mi 8 lite without pc. And works!
Download and flash that twrp using mi flash tool. I hope your bootloader is unlocked if you already have other twrp installed simply flash the twrp zip file. And update your recovery. If you don't have any twrp installed simply rename. Zip file into .img file and flash it with flash tool. If you can't flash it using flash tool try to install any other twrp and then install the zip and update the twrp
After you installed twrp go and download recovery Rom from here :
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
Download the first rom called : V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM (1.8GB zip file)
( Recovery
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM_5574e03233_10.0.zip
Filesize
1.8G
MD5
5574e032330450c44c34d7f054de477b
Link
Download (Download to Mi Router)
Press download. Not download to mi router and don't forget.. Download the recovery zip file not the fast boot update!
After you downloaded boot in to twrp which I gave you above, wipe system / data / vendor / cache/dalvik and flash the zip file.
You can flash it with and without to wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe. Pls go try and install it without to wipe anything, if it works ( for me works!) after flash done boot the phone and see if there is any problem. If u got any bugs or problems perform a clean flash wipe all and then flash!
Id you want root.. Fallow this :
You can root your phone with latest magisc manager using the same twrp. After you flash the boot.img with twrp press restart phone. If it won't restart go again to recovery and format only your data. And your will phone will boot again and you will get root acces. It's the only way to root android 10.
Please let me know if you fixed that problem.. And you flashed successfully the Rom..
DON'T FLASH THE ROM USING ANOTHER TWRP! ONLY THAT RECOVERY I GIVE SUPPORT OTA UPDATE AND CAN BYPASS THE XIAOMI Verification FOR THE STOCK ROM.. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TWRP YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN Boot! Orange fox or any other twrp won't work!
I used this method and works like a charm
