Flash an appropiate CWM/TWRP using flashtool. That's the safest & best solution.
But remember to make a backup of the original recovery first.
And flash only the recovery partition!

I have tried with MTKdroidtools an when i boot my phone to a menu where i choose "Recovery, Fastboot and normal boot" i choose recovery and the phone freezes for 10 seconds and does a normal boot... any thoughts on that? And can you tell me what are the appropriate CWM/TWRP ?

A recovery partition is a specific area of your phone ("recovery" partition) that contains a small, stripped-down OS that is used to upgrade/reset/backup/partition your phone.
I know 3 kinds of recoverys:
3e recovery is usually the stock one (with the broken android logo)
CWM is ClockWorkmod - very good, scriptable recovery
TWRP is TeamWin Recovery Project - even with touchscreen support, another excellent choice
You can get into recovery by some specific key combination (vol + / vol - and power on for example.) and switching on the phone.
You can try every combination of your real hardware keys, maybe there are some other hidden functions (hardware testing etc).
As you can see, a recovery has to be custom-tailored to your phone. Either you can get one from the internet or you can feed a backed-up factory recovery image to a CWM/TWRP builder and create one yourself. This backup can be also created by the flashtool.
MTKDroidtools tries to initiate a CWM recovery bootup, but probably you still have the stock recovery.

well discovered tho.
2) why not ask for a refund as your specs are poor.
