Hello Hovatek,
I am trying to follow this guide, but I can't seem to be able to access the TWRP for Hot 4, without being led to install one program or the other to my computer.
Is this normal? Furthermore why is this thread so short? Are people not following it, or is it continued elsewhere?
Thanks for the good work you are doing tho.

Thanks for replying. 
I have dealt with ad blocker issue (on my pc), and I downloaded other packages remain only the TWRP. I don't want to get that from another local site I've seen hosting it, because I had a bad experience there (don't want to mention names). 
Okay, on my tab, it's not asking me to install some other apps, but it wants me to be logged on to www.needrom.com.

Also, can I use the latest SP Flash tool v5.1648 to flash the Hot 4?


Thanks

You can use that version of SP Flash tool on your Hot 4

That is still stock recovery. What is your Build Number?
