[Please help] Need help to backup Stock rom of Vodacom Power Tab 10
(01-07-2016, 04:34 PM)Fingers7606 Fellow members and admins, I need help in backing up stock rom/firmware of my Vodacom Power Tab 10 (MT8321), Android 5.1.
I have Mtkdroid tools v2.5.3, tablet drivers and SPF tool v5. 1524 installed on a Windows7 PC. My drivers are working fine and so does PdaNet. ADB and Fastboot are working fine. My tablet is rooted and has Busybox installed and both are working fine. Tablet has 3GB free Internal Storage and 16GB free SDCard.
The problem is in 2 parts:
1. On MTK Droid Tools I get the following error message when I connect my tablet to the PC,
"ERROR: TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64!!!
ATTENTION! File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found".
2. Cannot create scatter file as the "create scatter file" button, under Blocks Map, is grayed out(can't click on it).
So in essence I cannot create a Custom Recovery which, according to the instructions on many sites(including this one), is needed in order for to be able to backup your stock rom(cause the stock recovery doesn't have the feature to backup roms{from my understanding}).
The small box on the bottom left of MTK Droid Tools is green and reads "Vodacom Power Tab 10(root shell)"
Now my question is:
Does MTK Droid Tool support my device's chipset?
If so: How do I fix the problems I'm experiencing on it?
If not then: Are there any other alternatives I can use to backup my Stock Rom? (I've already tried Miracle Box 227A and it does not see my device).
Please kindly help... I'll be very grateful.
Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section.

(03-07-2016, 01:33 PM)Fingers7606 Ai... I give up. Everything I try is just not working out. All this fuss just so I could backup my rom, a whole week of trying and I'm still stuck at the very beginning(creating a custom recovery so that I could backup my rom).
Anyway so this is where I'm stuck now.
1. Managed to get recovery.img and boot.img from my device.
2. Went into MTK Droid Tools so I could create a CWM recovery with it. In MTK Droid Tools I did the following:
2a. selected "root, backup, recovery" tab.
2b. selected "to choose the boot.img file".
2c. clicked "Recovery and Boot" button.
2d. chose "Yes" to Make CWM automatically.
And after doing all the I get
"ERROR: No Boot Split Image"
"To use boot from phone" doesn't work either.
ERROR: Not read Block: boot.
(03-07-2016, 12:49 PM)Fingers7606 So I finally managed to Dump recovery.img and boot.img from my device using the ADB method. Now if anyone can be of help, please let me know how do I create/make a CWM recovery from my recovery.img? A tutorial would be nice.
Thanx.
PS: I don't have a working scatter file(gave up on that) and even though MTK Droid tools shows a green box for my device I cannot create a scatter file using it.
