Installing custom recovery


1. Open SPFlash tool SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 and load the scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.


2. And now click download and select "yes" for the warning.


3. Now connect your phone via USB and quickly put the battery and you will see some process will keep going. Don't do anything until its 100% completed and see a green symbol.


After you see a green symbol you are done.


Now your mobile should have ClockWorkMod Recovery.


Now methods to go to recovery

3. Using MTKDroidTools and selecting the button reboot to recovery


Installing a custom-rom

1. Get a valid custom-rom for your phone and put it in your sd card or internal memory of your phone.

2. Use any of the above methods to go to recovery

To scroll to the recovery menu use vol up and vol down and to select a menu item press power button.

3. Select wipe data/factory reset

4. and later Select wipe cache partition

5. And choose install from sd-card and choose the appropriate Rom.

6. Reboot your phone and you can see the custom-rom installed.

  3. Hi couple of questions. I have a Tinji 9300 (with v8 firmware) and I love the CWM recovery ... although I don't see installing any custom rom since I don't think there's anyone really interesting out (correct me if I am wrong). The only issue would be the battery and the autofocus.

    Anyway the downloadable file you link is it a CWM or another kind of recovery?

    Is there a way of flashing it via fastboot? All my devices are linux and I suppose the tool you mention is Windows. Reason for question is I am not sure this phone has a fastboot mode :)

    Thanks

    1. If you want better clean rooted rom then you can flash custom rom..

      it is CWM recovery

      no you can flash via CWM recovery only.

    2. thanks mate for the reply. actually I was wondering if I can flash the CWM via fastboot (not the ROM) since I was not into setting up a windows partition but use my linux one.

      I guess I'll give it a try :)

      Trying to improve this phone ... not bad for the price but some issues are annoying.
