Hi and thank you so much for that fast response.

ZTE V975 is a different device I'm pretty sure. I checked the specs on gsmarena.com and it seems like a different phone altogether.

I was already familiar with that forum discussion on the ZTE Geek 2. I've tried all the CWM recoveries for the phone on the site, but the latest version that I could find is CWM vresion 6.0.3.7 - which isn't what I am looking for as it will not be able to flash the cm13 rom I mentioned earlier. On the site there is also mention of a TWRP v2.8.5.0 recovery which I think would've worked perfectly for my flashing needs. But unfortunately the download hasn't been updated and the file isn't available anymore. :(

Maybe if you uploaded the TWRP recovery onto needrom that'd be awesome. I am however a bit curious. How did you get the Geek 2 TWRP recovery in the first place? Do you own the phone?

Anyways, thanks sooo much for the help so far. :good:

MediaTek MT6732

CPU

Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53

GPU

Mali-T760MP2

if i test it and it doesn't work will i end up in a bootloop?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mclaren2:
is this really for ALL mediatek chipsets? i have a ZTE Blade A452 with a MT6735P chipset
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mclaren2:
this tool does not work on MTK6735!!! i have everything done like it says in post1, adb server is running and connected, usb debugging on, the tool runs without any problem and at the end says i have now the new recovery but i have not. it also does not boot into the recovery automatically.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ydriod/YdroidExpo:

GUYS PLZ HELP ME!!! the program says that the installation was succesfull but when I try to boot into recovery it boots into the stock one!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
Remove install-recovery-fromboot.p recovery-from-boot.p install-recovery-boot.sh, something like that, remove it from system folder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntouris3:
Kkk . in the root of /system theres a file called "recovery-from-boot.bak" . I guess thats the one i should remove right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
Yeah, that's it. Remove that and try again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntouris3:
Hey man!!! I deleted this file and I installed adb correctly but I still have the same issue... ill tell you sth that may help, when the program says ''rebooting recovery'' or sth like that the device does not reboot... :( Also should I extract the file to the C/ folder (I'm on windows 10)?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
After flashing the recovery, don't reboot to recovery. Power off the phone and manually boot into recovery and see.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntouris3:
Ok ill try it and ill tell you the results :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
Did that work? I found the correct file to remove, it's actually this

"recovery-from-boot.p".

Let me know if it works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntouris3:

I think I have the old tool with the files. Will that work? Probably not on newer MTK chipsets but it should be enough for MT657x or MT6582.

Phil3759's source is rock solid, its very much still buildable from source until today for all MTK arm11 or armv7 devices with Android KK & below, if you still do use them. For newer MTK armv8 devices then build TWRP.

A Small Correction... Recovery Will Not Work if All Of The PNGs Are Compressed...

Here is The List Of PNGs Can Be Safely Compressed Using tinypng.com...

icon_cid.png

icon_clockwork.png

icon_error.png

icon_firmware_error.png

icon_firmware_install.png

icon_installing.png

icon_installing_overlay01.png

icon_installing_overlay05.png

icon_installing_overlay06.png

icon_installing_overlay07.png

koush.png

i know stitch.png is a large file, But recovery will not work if this PNG is compressed using tinypng.com... instead use this PNG (taken from Carliv Recovery) as stitch.png (chech attachment)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superdragonpt:
Oh well... I was right...

Compiled the recovery with this latest sources.

1 as expected only managed to boot using my custom kernel with LZMA compression (due to recovery low space ~6Mb)

2 Then I had to patch some res images (not related with recovery space, but due to image res)

3 As I said earlier, everything seems to work , but the same problems persists:

A) Restoring an backup: Boot.IMG gets corrupted, ROM gets stuck after boot animation.

B) Also the dalvik restore also gets corrupted some times...

Good news are: with this sources I managed to get both storages ( internal and external) working , with the old sources only the internal was working

For now I called it a day, will get an better look at the sources next week, since I already have some things (projects) to work on this week...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superdragonpt:
Update:

I found what was causing the backup/restore corrupt boot.IMG issue.

Its only related with the old backups of cwm 6.0.4.4 ( Carliv's); the backups of the vanilla cwm. 6.0.3.x and Phil's have absolutely no issues.

There's a lot of things we can improve with this sources concerning MTK based devices .

The main issue here for MTK users is the recovery size itself.

(If you have kernel sources, you can overcome this issue by setting your kernel compression from GZIP (stock compression) to LZMA , like I did)

There are some things on the source itself that can be removed ( striping down the source) that are useless for MTK based devices, this will lead to an smaller recompiled recovery.

Regards ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Popey900:
Hi there.

when the device is turned off, I can start the recovery only when the cable is connected.

Is there a trick to recovery without cable to start.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
You are most welcome, my friend & there is one most important person, Phil3759 responded almost immediately & fix 2# MTK Derp within 4 hours so hit that Thanks button for Phil3759 too . . . :laugh: :good:

At that time i have no other related thread & i was trying to get help but only sohas.holla responded . . . :good: And since PhilZ Touch is already fully supported on MTK devices, i have to respect my Master Shifu Carliv & start a new PhilZ Touch thread here . . .:laugh: Carliv Touch Recovery was mainly developed by Master Shifu Carliv for MTK devices with 6Mb recovery partition so technically speaking all MTK devices with 6Mb recovery partition should use it . . . :good:

i'm a n00b coder & i donno how to make GUI out of the porting tool & you are most welcome to develop a GUI version . . . :laugh: :good:

And Thanks for updating the updates, i actually didn't try out the tinypng.com techniques . . . :o

Shut-Down, take out the battery & re-insert back & typically is either . . .

Hold Volume-Up, don't let go & press the power

Hold Volume-Down, don't let go & press the power

There might be other combinations too, AFAIK, for some Lenovo's is hold power button for 2 seconds then let go & hold both Volume-Up/ Down simultaneously until it boots into recovery . . . :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Popey900:
thanks, unfortunately it does not work, with my Jiayu G5S.

With cable and Hold Volume-Up it works. :(

As i've told other MTK users at my other thread, every MTK is unique even though it is using the same SoC . . . :cowboy:

Updates

Since you've confirmed its working, i'll post the link here for other JY-G5S users to try it out too . . . :laugh:

For installation, either one of the three known techniques can be use -> (1) (2) (3)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EnerJon:
i would love to work on it, but it will save some time if you can share batch script of your porting tool (it will help me in searching adb commands, checking porting methods for different devices and other device specific stuff in your tool because i only own MT6589 device) previously i successfully reverse engineered your porting tools and extracted batch script (which you made for (TWRP, CWMR, Carliv Recovery) (not to harm your work but just to increase my knowledge and learn porting methods... Sorry for that :P) but i think this time you used some other techniques in this tool... So, this time i was unlucky... its your property and there is absolutely no problem if you don't wanted to share it, but i will have to work from scratch... Nothing else
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
i have once ask Russian Master Shifu Michfood for his help to figure out how to unpack/ repack MTK Motorola Razr devices for XDA users & he told me his script is open-source so let those MTK Motorola DEVs figured it out by themselves . . . :laugh:

Unless i do own a MTK Motorola device then he said he would take a look at it as a favor to a XDA friend but he said he would need to Brain Storming with his algorithm as he has almost forgotten most of it . . .

Me as mentioned is a n00b coder & i've translated his algorithm so i donno if you would wanna learn a totally new programming scripting language & most importantly i can't provide much help on it either . . . :o Info has been pm to you . . . :cowboy:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superdragonpt:
Hi

Yesterday i tried the source build, today i tried your porting tool ...

I have to say, the same issue is present on your Phil's Port tool.

When doing the backup, the boot.img isn't restored.

This is due to an error on the recovery, as it tries to find and restore a file called "bootimg.img" , and it should be just "boot.img", as so it fails to restore the kernel.

Then the old ./boot.img partition is used.

If your restoring an backup from the same rom as before, this is not an problem.

But if your previous rom was an themed rom (or an diff OS version), then you have an problem.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:

Trouble-shooting guide

This porting tool has been tested working on XP to Win10 Technical Preview.

Did you disable UAC & Anti-Virus

Did you execute the porting tool at C:\ drive if you're using XP else then at your Desktop

Did you try Run as Administrator

Could it be some other software that you installed that interfere with the porting tool then uninstall it

Did you try it on other PC with other version OS or even different USB port

Try uninstall all previous adb driver -> Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices -> uninstall all ADB Interface/ Android device -> reboot -> re-install. Refer to screenshot -> View attachment 3018860

Did you try latest google ADB driver while for XP try this one
