Rather than saying the method didn't worked please comment with error or problem you are facing

##if you get blank screen or phone again reboots to stock recovery,then do this enable oem unlock again in dev. Settings. This phone's Lollipop stock system sometimes relocks the bootloader by itself. Check it by entering this command in fastboot "fastboot getvar all" in end it will show if it is unlocked or not

+if it shows unlocked and phone on booting to recovery shows blank screen or bootloops

Do this go in sp flash tool

Select scatter file from extracted folder in patch and tick preloader file .get into advance mode of flash tool in write memory option select the recovery.by.gursewak.img file from recovery folder in file path. Change begin address to 0x2d80000 and region is EMMC_USER And click write and connect switched off phone to pc. After success .reboot the phone.
