No, Stock Recovery will flash even a custom Kernel as long as the bootloader on the device is unlocked. it doesn't really boil down to the Stock Recovery it self to determine the differences between one or the other only the way it is being told how to install via the script being use to install it.

I am sorry that I seem to be misunderstanding you. I hope something I say here makes enough sense. hehe ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Upon reading your additional instructional I realize that it brings me back to my original question of "how exactly do you install a custom ROM without rooting OR(not and) custom recovery?".

It seems to me that since you are saying that you are using a temp custom recovery that you INSTALL through the stock recovery then my original question in regards to how do you do it WITHOUT custom recovery still has not been answered.

Also [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] has already stated that your method in fact applies the binaries for root to be done. This also brings me back to my question of how do you install a custom ROM without rooting. Since the binaries are applied then you are in fact rooted.

In the end you are still rooting and using a custom recovery to flash the ROM, you just aren't "retaining them".
[General Questions and Answers] orbitA13:
No, If you read my past post you will see I have used Stock Recovery many times without Custom Recovery or TEMP Custom Recovery. I mention many times that my ROM use to install via Stock Recovery without root and without any Custom Recovery using only Stock Recovery but once I changed the way my ROM would install by using the Aroma Installer it then needs to be installed by a Custom Recovery or Temp Custom Recovery and you do not need to be rooted to install a Custom Recovery as I have also mentioned already in my past posts. (Bootloader is the key here to this, Locked or Unlocked!).

To prove to you that a Custom ROM or Custom Recovery can be installed without being rooted just look to my instruction on my Custom ROM page in my Sig... You will clearly see that you need to be on a FLASHED STOCK ROM before you do anything. At no time will you see my instructions mention that you need root to install the Custom ROM or the Custom Recovery.

A TEMP Custom Recovery or Custom Recovery will install on a FULLY untouched STOCK ROM.

The only bootloader I've had to mess with so far was my tablet, it has the bootloader as normal but has a second bootloader also. I haven't had to do that with any of the other devices I've had or any of the other devices I've played around with. I'm sure I'll get another in the end though, no biggie.

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

Ok, so how did you manage that, from what I've learned(I'm no dev) from the devices I've done this has to be done with a pc using progams on it to interface with the device and the device be in certain modes in order to flash a ROM, such as Odin or Flash tools for example.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitA13:
My Custom ROM does not flash using Odin only when you flash the ORIG STOCK ROM will you need to use Odin. After that you simply add my ROM zip to your SDcard and then put your phone in recovery mode select the file and follow the installer instructions. I have never had to flash a custom ROM using Odin with the exception of my A13 tablets and that was cause at one point in time when I was new to the game I did not know how to create installer scripts such as updater-script and I would repack my edited/modified ROM in Ubuntu and flash with LiveSuit or PhoenixPro.

Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-N5110

Hi Guys!!!

I'm not 100% noob or maybe am I?. Last year I rooted my smartphone note 1 and installed ROM and everything , recovered a note 2 and recovered a Motorola smartphone as well, but that was it , now I have this tab for couple of years and I want to update it to Kit-Kat official version , I know it was release for some places since last year. I don't want to install any ROM or so just want to update it to official new version since right now it has android 4.2.2 and no software update for my country for long time. I don't have any carrier with it either. If you guys answer or redirect me to the correct post that fine. I just don't want to brick or died :D

trying to root MTK6571 with rua1´s MTKDroidTools

OK, i´m doing my first steps, helped by kirito9, thanks to him, rua1 and dechronic.:)

After using a scatter file made by kirito9 for my device (the MTK didn´t enabled that option for my phone), i could advance up to

the "step 6 READ BACK ROM" from RUA1´s guide (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5).

The Scatter file kirito9 made worked OK, and the SPFT did the ROM_ file.

But the guide at step 7, at the end it says: "Аttention! Yaffs2 type blocks from this backup can't be Downloaded to phone, they aren't correct! Use backup on 9th step if phone have yaffs2 type blocks!"

And as this phone has "Yaffs2 type blocks ", i jump to step 9 on the guide:

"9. Make backup, install SuperUser etc

Load phone in CWM mode, connect to MTK Droid Root & Tools, go on the tab root, backup, recovery and, pressing on this tab the necessary buttons, we do:

- backup! ! ! (if in phone there is yaffs2 type blocks, do here surely, they received with readBack on 7th step aren't correct)

- install superuser (often mean "get root" under it)

- and other if need"

First question ¿is it ok, or i misunderstood the warning?

I´m asking because the other guide called by rua1 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47005386&postcount=630) says:

"It is possible to make a brick

ATTENTION! It is possible to make a brick of phones !!!

...

on phones with ubifs file system (while meets on some MT6572). Partially solved in version 2.5.2.e

Select Blocks Map in the program and look at the Type field opposite to block "system". If in this field it is written "ubifs", or it field is empty, you got .

That it is possible to do with such phone in the program:

make scatter file

get root, install SU, delete unnecessary software

make a backup, but blocks except ubifs will be suitable

That it is impossible:

make CWM, it needs to be done with ubifs support

write boot through the program, it kills phone (while it is unclear why)

Download ubifs blocks from a program backup through FlashTool, it will kill a phone

So i asumed that as the CWM isn´t possible to make, the steps 7 and 8 need to be jumped or i´ll kill the phone.

SO, when i go to step 9 and load phone in the MTK Droid & Tools, the BACK UP button isn´t enabled. :(

Am I missing anything? :confused:

i leave here the links to files:

Scatter file MTK6571: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzwyXwYZbCBudXhoVGdpOHEzcnAzRXBxQmtBUnpqNlp3WW5r&authuser=0

Google it. Enter your device name and either "cwm" or "custom recovery" if cmw doesn't support your device.

Change the name of the file you downloaded to recovery.img

Place it into your platform-tools/fastboot folder

Connect your device up to your PC. Get into ADB/fastboot

Enter the command fastboot devices to make sure you are hooked up (a bunch of numbers and letters/your serial number)

Enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That's it. fastboot reboot-bootloader when are done. Go on to the next step of whatever it is that you want to do.

Yes and no. It depends on the device; sometimes rooting trips the Knox flag, and sometimes it doesn't. Be warned, though - once the Knox warranty void appears like this:
