You won't believe it, I am still getting the same error as the 1st one u sent me, will it work if I push the recovery.img via adb instead of using SP Flash Tool?

I am starting to give up on the process

Yes, try the ADB method.

Hello Xenon, thank you for the assistance.
SP Flash Tool was able to load and download it successfully to the phone but all I get is screen flashes for 3 times when I tried to boot into recovery mode then it reboots normally.

I noticed my own stock backup recovery (which was the one I uploaded here SECONDLY after innagee said the 1st one is probably not the right one) didn't work when I tried to flash it back to my device NOW, probably because I did the full ROM backup after I had already tried TWRP Auto Port procedure crashed the recovery.img.

But it is still the same FIRST recovery.img I uploaded here, which I got from a friend who owns EXACTLY the same device, that worked for me AGAIN (restored my recovery to normal conditions).

I am explaining all these just to clarify that my 2nd stock upload here is bad and if it is the one u used to create the TWRP for me then it could be the reason why it's not working. Probably, if you use the 1st upload it might work.

I appreciate the effort you put into doing the recovery.img for me, thank you.

Use the first recovery.img and the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21495.html
Use V1.1 of the tool, we fixed the fart.exe issue

very odd cos it has been tested on a 32bit windows PC
are you sure its V1.1 you tried?
inside the folder "/scripts/libraries" can you find any file named fart.exe?

BTW retry this TWRP @ https://mega.nz/#!UHZl3Zab!l7XbV2MOGgCGk...gEW3nMU25o

Yes it's the v1.1 I used, and yes I found the fart.exe in the script/libraries folder (which I stated on the Philz Auto Port thread here on hovatek cos I was curious as well as to how it could be missing trials upon trials).

I will be testing the new TWRP... I will drop my update here, thanks

Tried it and I am sad to report that it failed to work as well, it flashed well with SP Flash Tool but it was giving me screen flashes for 3 times then it goes into normal reboot.

My device is 5 inches, running os 5.1 and the resolution is 720 x 1280... If this might help to re-create a better one

Hello boss(es) I am back on this project and I need a working Custom recovery to flash Custom ROM

Noe where Xenon helped me to get to the last time was a working 3.0.0 TWRP but the internal storage isn't showing and he made mention of something about my scatter file not leaving enough room for a working recovery to work above 10MB

My stock recovery is 7.28MB

Pls any new method to port one? Be it philz or cwm, or twrp

My device is lollipop and rooted
