(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

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?

MTK droid tools has an option to to port CWM, have you tried it?
Also try carliv porter at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-182.html

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.
Please guys look at my issue substantively. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't already tried to get CWM by MTD. The phone is Gowin M8. This is a UBIFS file system. Now I'm just repeating myself for every reply that comes from you guys. But since I am the one in need I will repeat again, I have tried to flash CTR v2.2-UBIFS but IT NEEDS A WORKING RECOVERY to auto-port or manual port.
I know you guys are busy and you receive a lot of requests, please I'm begging..try and read the thread before replying.
Thank you.

Thank you.

quoting from a section of my previous reply
"if there is boot.img ***in your backup [which there is]*** , you can try using that for manual porting and see if the custom recovery ported works"

if it doesn't work, then it means you'll need to find stock rom for your device OR dump firmware from a device same model as yours to get a working recovery

As it is the phone is able to boot up. Is there a risk of bricking by porting a recovery out of boot.img?

There's always that risk in flashing a custom recovery whether ported from boot or recovery

rename boot.img to recovery.img 
then use the same tool you used previously ie CTR-ubifs v2.2 - [manual porting method]
