[Question] CWM 5.x for Mpie MP-S168
#1
Question 
I am completely new to the backup/custom recovery/ROM thing. But i made a backup of my Mpie MP-S168 from a tutorial about how to get a FULL backup of MTK devices on XDA.

I know the first thing to do is make CWM/TWRP/PHILZ for the device. But I do not have any experience at all with source, or any type of code manipulation. I found a way to automate the creation for each of those recoveries, but the applications say the boot.img is secure.

Now i seen that boot.img and recovery.img are exactly the same size. So I made a copy of the recovery.img and pasted it into the autoCWM folder and renamed it boot.img and it worked. It works on my device and my device boots into both recovery and into the OS just fine. What i want to know is, Am i flirting with disaster when i do that with MTK devices? or am I right in feeling comfortable with how it is working? It is CWM 5.x and the software is 4.4.2 (KitKat). I have read everywhere that KitKat needs CWM 6.x but it didnt make 6.x so is it ok?

If anyone wants the custom recovery that i made, I will post it in a separate thread.

I didn't mean a custom recovery. I need an actual backup because I deleted some system apks and then factory reset. That somehow messed up my phone, so I need a backup of one that is working since I was unable to find a stock rom.

I haven't had time in the last 2 days to post what i have up, but i will get it up this week. I have limited bandwidth at home here so i have to do it at night when its unlimited. But it will be on here.

Just know that it isn't full stock. It was a backup of my device after i added a few apps to system. and it is deodexed/zipaligned.

Just check back here in a few days.

Do you have the custom recovery installed?
I have a backup of a slightly modified stock rom, cwm flashable.
But I do NOT have full stock. Sad I am sorry for that.
If someone can take a SP Flash backup of their MP-S168, That would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I did not had recovery installed, because I flashed wrong rom... so I needed full rom to flash and I found it today. I have Lenovo clone S660MAX, and I saw that MPIE S168 is exactly the same, pictures and specs wise ... That's why I asked for it. Than later today I found working rom - it is from needrom - rom for JIAKE V10.

But I found out after flashing that problem which was the cause for my flashing in the first place (stupid me, without making backup first) - remained the same: phone freezes after 10-20 seconds ...

Still, thanks for you answer Smiling
