[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ElectronikHeart:
That's weird, really weird. Because the recovery partition is not involved in the normal boot procedure. So flashing a new recovery should not harm in any way the normal boot procedure.

I really don't know what have brought your phone in such state I'm afraid.

Maybe you should try to flash the recovery again. and see if everything is the same.

As the recovery is not involved in the normal boot process, it surely will not change anything, but as you have tried the over ones (CWM I mean), and that have not screwed your booting process, you may try to flash one of the non working ones again (but known for sure to not harm the boot process) to see if it work again.

Have you used the same FDL set as when you flashed the system partition and the over CWM ?

It's a good thing you have the full backup on your hand. Because you may surely be able to recover from that. I just have to make a tutorial about flashing the backup with ResearchDownload and explaining what file goes where from the backup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] janzlev:
Thanks would be really helpful, and yes I used the same FDL.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ElectronikHeart:
I made another CWM recovery for your phone, please try it: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lg7m6v49efzpnjk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] janzlev:
Apparently was an error of ResearchDownload (It seems was flashing recovery.img into boot.), so I tried with another copy of ResearchDownload and FDL files and now works like a charm.

Thank you very much!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ElectronikHeart:
Can you tell me what version of ResearchDownload have this bug. It's a pretty scary one. I have to be sure I don't have it on my computer ...

By the way what CWM image is working ? The first or the second one ? (the two should work but I want to be sure before adding it to the main tutorial)

Thank you very much ! That's one more phone to the list of easily rootable Spreadtrums thanks to you !

Edit: And what FDLs you use precisely so I can rename the folder to reflect the use of this set for this phone (Is this the ones on the .pac firmware you've uploaded on the over topic ?)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] janzlev:
RESEARCHDOWNLOAD R2.9.6010, with the R2.9.7002 everything's fine. Respect to the CWM images, after the error I tried with the second one, so maybe the first one also works, the FDLs that I used was extracted from the .pac dropbox.com/s/69yl8hn9361qpy5/FDLs-S6500-TV.tar

That's it, if I can help more, let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ElectronikHeart:
I think I have every informations I need ^^

I have added the recovery for S6500-TV to the main tutorial and will add in a short while the fdls to the FDL pack file.

Thanks again !

Backup

attached is my boot.img

to follow: entire backup
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ELZPrincess:
BOOT.IMG

This one is from the untouched phone, the one with stock recovery.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/sc0gy4oo6io0qls/mtd9.boot.img.zip

and this one is from the other phone, the one im testing the cmw recovery. the one i flashed with researchdownload many times with diferent FDL sets

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3i5sb0o5odz94lk/boot_from_broken_recovery_phone.zip

also..i can flash the stock recovery back into the phone. but doesnt boot into, just like any other cwm.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frapedas:
I will try to make it even more clear..

1. If you have fastboot on your phone.. you can escape the FDL2 part.. and you can flash with fastboot any recovery you like..

2. If you don't have fastboot.. be ready to try all FDL2's you can find flashing the original stock recovery, when you find the right FDL2 the stock recovery will boot into the recovery menu by pressing vol+power, if this can happen, it means you can try also CWM recoverys with the corrrect FDL2 file you found already.. if you don't have a backup of your original recovery.img then pickup a CWM that comes from a phone with simmilar specs..

A Wrong CWM boots up, with "SCREEN IS ALL WHITE", can bootup with "SCREEN RESERVED" or with "SCREEN DISPLAYS FUNNY COLORS".. if even a wrong CWM can boot up and nothing comes on your screen.. it means your wrong FDL2 screwed the partition thing

thats my opinion after many many trials and errors to create a .pac and unbrick my phone. previewsly i thought "Passed / ok" it means ok... but thats wrong.. if you cant see atleast a <screen all white>, or any other boot error but pressing vol+power stays dead.. search for FDL2
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ELZPrincess:
Excuse me, can you pack up and upload all the FDL sets you happen to have?

i exhaust all i was able to find.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] burnutec:
woops , sorry about that , i did not know it matters , would you like to see the entire modded rom ?

i only modded the system img , the phone boots up normal with my original recovery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frapedas:
this is all i have.. you can also download from "how to root thread" the other collection
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jhanra:
there is a software here in page 5 called recoveryflash, it will flash recovery to your phone using adb shell, researchdownload will use fdl, like in my case no fdl is working for me, and not even research download is detecting my phone,, this recoveryflash install my cwm for me,

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

no it doesnt matter, i will make another one for you, btw what phone cwm is not working?

ok i try another one for, its just trial and error, and if your lucky you will get the right one, be patient
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frapedas:
But he needs to root his phone first right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jhanra:
Right, he or she must root first, I thought its rooted,Try srsroot for android, it has a multi method rooting, I try all the methods here in rooting but nothing works! Only srsroot works for my spd phone even research download dont work for me!

pressing thanks button would be really easy than typing word thanks:rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ELZPrincess:
okay, i reflash the stock recovery,from the untouched phone, to this one with the broken recovery. using the linux script (recoveryflash) as research download reports "download error size" and.....I GOT THE STOCK RECOVERY BACK TO WORK! now..i dunno why the recovery image you made doesnt work. (as its based on this very same image). weird phone.

gotta test more

UPDATE

guys! guys!

this is weird as hell, the recovery image made by jhanra doesnt seem to work on the testing phone. but i download another one from the same device (but diferent software version, v03) and HOORAAAY! boots to CWM!!!

now im gonna test the jhanra recovery image on the untouched phone to see if it boots as that image is made from the stock recovery of this phone. and ofcourse i gonna use the recoveryflash script as researchdownload seem to screw things rather than actually made anything good

. thanks for that tip Jhanra!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frapedas:
i pressed thanks button only because i never heard of srsroot and latetly i had on my hands 3 sc6820 devices.. to root each one i had to install linux to build a system.img which was way too time consuming.

[MENTION=5388476]ELZPrincess[/MENTION] Im clad it works, the reason it doesn't work with research downloader (Download Error Size) it means that your recovery is padded and you had to un-padd it, but it also means you don't bother to read the previews pages of this topic :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ELZPrincess:
i actually read your post about hex editing the files but i thought that wasnt needed for the recovery alone..

sorry.:crying:

Princess Elizabeth's Journal of Disaster::p

UPDATE:

i tried to restore a previous backup with CWM, because i kinda screw something atfer the wipe. but now, atfer restoring the backup (i restore the one made with CWM, not the full backup made with ADB as i dunno how to use that one with CWM), and the phone is stuck on bootloop. (stuck on the blue wasp android icon).

any ideas.

UPDATE2: now the phone just give up, no bootlogo, sudden death, good thing is researchdownload still pick up the phone

UPDATE2 REDUX: now, im tripping...phone was dead, so i stumble upon two pacs for this model...one is 6820_2.3.5_c910_huiteng_s5_en_6206_v03.pac and the other is 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_v08.pac, the exact for this phone must be 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_v05.pac. so obviously triying to flash v03 and v08 just prompt an error on researchdownload about NV, so i had an idea, i extract the NV image from the v08 and replace the one on the v03, and guess what... phone works again!! but i lost CWM even when i leave the recovery option on researchdownload unmarked. but hey its something

UPDATE2 REDUX PART 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: nevermind i got CWM again by just flashing the same recovery image i used before but this time with researchdownload. something worth to say, the phone original software was 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_v05, but now it says 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_v03. and everything seems to work fine touchs working, no inverted screen or funny colors.

UPDATE2 THE THIRD: seems than not every is working nice, for some strange reason i cant install whatsapp, cuz suddenly out of the blue market says uncompatible version...mhhh gonna fix some files from the full backup and use them instead the ones on the rom.

UPDATE2 CUARTA EDICION: okay, i flash v05 system, vmjaluna, modem and user data images, fixed from the padding, along the other images from the v03 rom and phone boots fine, but seems that the backup i made from v05 is broken as there no launcher. so hell im screwed..but i discover, ElectronikHearth post a nice backup of a v05 phone before going MIA so im gonna try that one.

as of now..im have a frankenphone.

UPDATE2 V THE PAC STRIKES BACK: the v05 from ElectronikHearth is not for this phone so i rollback to v03 (with v08 nv image) and just installed Market helper to make Google Play to believe this is a Nexus 4, so i can download whatsapp.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliotec:

anyhow...fdl sets are not retreived by this backup. you need a box for that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pavitar.baghla:
that means i cant create a pac file for this device :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliotec:
to fix that you need do the same, BUT extract the battery, plugh your phone to usb, keep yout buttons to put your phone ready to flash, then insert the battery, the problem is that when you erase all the flash, the calibration of your phone lose, so when you put your battery in your phone start a boot loop and dont let you press anything, but if you first plug your phone by usb, then press the (- volume button or home button "for some sprd phones" to change the phone to flash mode, and finally insert your battery to give the phone energy and now you can flash your phone. and no more boot loop.
