No, you'll most likely brick your device
backup firmware from your device using wwr method @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html or miracle method @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
use boot.img from your backup to root using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html

Have done the necessary things as stated on the 2 links mentioned above, my phone is now rooted (thanks a ton X3non) and I can use it for just a day before I observed it lagging I decided to restart it and when I restart it, it got stucked at the boot screen and this time around I decided to flash in original boot image which I did but still it stuck on the same boot screen too.

I decided to format the phone with sp flashtool without bootloader and download back the stock ROM backed up initially. Great! My phone got back and running fine but my imei is invalid. I changed the imei properly and it worked fine too.

Now I'm currently having problem with my HSPA and HSPA+ network I can't browse on the device and immediately I change my phone network to 3g alone, I'll have blank network bars and I cant even receive or call talkless browsing on the phone but immediately I change the settings back to 2g network will be restored and I'll be able to call out or receive call. If I ON the data it will be ON but the browsing network will not be enabled. I've tried my best to solve this but now I'm tired.PLS HELP!!!

i want to believe you still have your backup you made using wwr mtk tool, flash back nvram and nvdata files from that backup and it should fix the 3g issue

I've located both nvram and nvdata files but their blocks are not in my scatterfile when loaded through so flashtool.

I created another scatter file using wwr tool and I set nvram and nvdata from false to true, but when I open sp flash and load the scatter file, it says the following

Partition[nvram] should NOT set "is_download" to true in scatter file please check

So that's where I am now and I don't know maybe there's another away to flash in those files

I've found the way to edit my scatter file using notepad+ and it worked I can now browse and my 3g 4g is now working.


Now how can I make twrp recovery from my recovery image?

...

you only needed to edit the scatter file and change the following values
is_download: true
filename: nvram.*** or nvdata.***

search for "Partition[nvram] should NOT set" @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-439.html ; the fix is listed on that thread
