From your post it appears that I need to use the _recovery file to make a CWM file on my phone at which point I should be able to see the CWM on my phone?? Where?? Please elaborate - get as detailed as you possibly can. Or direct me to the tutorial where this is spelled out.
Thanks for your help.
Do you have Mobileuncle tools installed?
If so, copy the recovery image file to the root of your sd card.
In Mobileuncle, select recovery update and choose the recovery file you copied to your SD card.
You will be asked if you want to boot into the recovery. You can, so you can check it loaded correctly.
If you want to use sp flash tool, make a new file folder in your PC. Copy your scatter file and the new recovery image file.
Rename the file to 'recovery.img'
In spft, load the scatter file from THAT folder. Make sure only recovery is ticked.
Click download, disconnect phone, remove and insert batt, connect and wait.
This is just a summary of the end part of a few methods. The full tutorials are found in the tutorials forum. Yulipis and ranpha methods.
Good luck.
