After flashing CWM to my phone, I was able to boot to CWM recovery mode, I installed superuser then after reboot, my phone keeps getting stocked at the SMART EXPERIENCE page, please kindly help asap guys, can’t have access to my phone after the installation. I don’t know what I am missing…

Hope you didn’t allow CWM to root your phone when it offered to.
Give the phone 15 minutes and let’s know if it’s still stuck

Download the C8 firmware @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-311.html and flash only system.img (Android) using SP flash tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html

Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:19 am
OK… Yeah I had the lollipop firmware on my system, flashed lollipop with SP flashtool back to the phone and just finished the mashwallow upgrade of build number: C8-H352-A2-M-HiOS-20160425. My phone is back now, but I realise that I often get stuck at Smart Experience page each time I flash in CWM, installed superuser v2.66.zip and reboot the phone. What can I do to root this phone, needs it real bad.
REPLY
Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:23 am
So the phone gets stuck once you flash CWM?
Does it work fine again when you flash only recovery.img from the firmware?
REPLY
Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:30 am
Yeah… Exactly! No it doesn’t. I might be able to now boot to the default recovery after flashing mashwallow recovery.img but will never leave the Smart Experience page
REPLY
Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:38 am
Hmm..
I’m trying to understand.
Does it get stuck at boot animation once you flash CWM or when you flash SuperSU.zip?
I’m trying to pinpoint which of the two is causing your phone to get stuck at boot
REPLY
Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:53 am
I think it is CWM because this morning I earlier today I realized that I don’t have superuser in my phone memory after I flashed in CWM and wanted to install it. I then decided to switch on the phone so I can move it from my SD card to phone memory, it wasn’t coming up, it just got stock at boot (Smart Experience page) and won’t bring up the Tecno logo.

Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:59 am
We’ll have to port a custom recovery for your build then
REPLY
Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 11:03 am
OK… Thanks Boss, will be anticipating your quick response I guess CWM is not totally compatible with build number: 20160425
Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 11:35 am
Yes. Do the read back as instructed and send us the 3 files
Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:32 am
Or do you think it might be due to my build number, because the screen shot I saw on your post is 20160415, but I upgraded to 20160425
REPLY
Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:40 am
Can’t say for sure at this point
REPLY
Olorunfunmi says:
May 31, 2016 at 10:54 am
I guess the problem might be with CWM, it’s making the phone get bricked at start up.
REPLY
Hovatek says:
May 31, 2016 at 11:01 am
Apparently.
Using the scatter file from your firmware, read back recovery.img and boot.img from your phone (after unbricking and upgrading to Marshmallow) using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-526.html
Email the three files to support@hovatek.com

Some people on the latest build have complained of the recovery image not working so Its up to you to try this CWM or TWRP 3.0.2 for C8 Marshmallow @
