[Please help] PLEASE HELP I NEED INFINIX HOT 3 TWRP RECOVERY
[Please help] PLEASE HELP I NEED INFINIX HOT 3 TWRP RECOVERY
(10-10-2016, 01:51 PM)Vicck Device Specs:
Infinix X554 Hot 3 Variant 3 (X554-W90918-A2-L-20160607)
Chipset: MTK6580
OS Version: Android 5.1
Already rooted.
I have tried flashing a TWRP recovery using SP Flash tool, adb, Flashfire apk and Flashify apk but no success yet. I have also tried MTK Droid tools and Easy Magic TWRP Installer but I can't get TWRP to work on my phone. I have noticed though that whenever I flash TWRP and boot/reboot phone into recovery mode, it shows the Infinix logo, vibrates the shuts down and boots into the normal mode but the stock recovery still remains in the phone. Please help I really need TWRP. Here is a screenshot of my device info. Thanks
Edit: I have tried flashing a custom ROM made for the device (with TWRP in it) and got some white, black, red and green lines on booting phone but the device responded well with touch feedback and sound working properly. I tried flashing with stock preloader.bin and lk.bin but it got stuck on bootloop each time. The solution has always been flashing the stock ROM again. I'm not sure if it didn't work because the ROM might have been for a different Hot 3 variant.

1. I got the TWRP from this site: https://androidhq254.blogspot.com/2016/0...hot-3.html
2. You mean I should flash the stock boot.img, lk.bin and preloader.bin but the other components like the recovery should be from the custom ROM?
Can you guys help port a custom TWRP for me?

(12-10-2016, 04:10 PM)Vicck What about the TWRP recovery. Should I flash it too?
(13-10-2016, 10:06 AM)hovatek You could flash that also
(13-10-2016, 03:23 PM)Vicck I did everything you suggested. I flashed the stock ROM then flashed boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from custom ROM but still the phone went into a bootloop - starts, shows the Infinix logo then starts again and again and loops forever. I'm out of options. I just need TWRP to work.
Edit: I have actually done the reverse now. I flashed the custom ROM then flashed preloader.bin, lk.bin and boot.img from stock ROM and it worked except it was very unstable with many apps crashing and sd card not detected and I couldn't even boot/reboot into recovery. I'm back to the stock ROM.
