(12-02-2018, 06:36 PM)X3non(12-02-2018, 03:17 PM)ironrover Can you please help me regarding a custom recovery? I used to have CTR-ubifs v2.2 but to flash that the porting software pulls the recovery from the phone or alternatively if you have the .IMG file you place in the stock folder for manual porting..and I don't have the .IMG file. This ROM is impossible to find online and i went to great lengths to boot this phone.
...
did you try emmc wipe in factory mode as an alt to factory reset?
as you already noticed, you'll need to get stock recovery to port custom
you talked about a backup, what files are within the backup you used to revive the phone?
if there is boot.img you can try using that for manual porting and see if the custom recovery ported works
when you tried dumping using miracle box, did you tick scatter file check-box?
see step 5A @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
(13-02-2018, 03:49 AM)ironrover The screenshots above are to help explain what I have written previously. Miracle dump and the resultant bin file and what I got from dumping with MTD. The !File after preparing blocks is also included. As you can see I did tick the scatter box in miracle but the scatter output comes out empty. Exactly as I have seen ROM dumps from other people online.
My issue is am trying to restore my stock recovery and its proving very hard bcz I cannot find a proper ROM back up. The alternative is to flash a custom recovery. Can you please help me with this?
(13-02-2018, 02:18 PM)ironrover Both of your suggestions requires that I have a working recovery....aaaaand ...as stated previously.. I don't.☺ Its damaged and I can't find any back up of this phone in the whole internet.
...
Thank you.
