Hi!
1. I would like to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (or any other recovery method) on my Tianji i9220 device, because the phone hasn't got too many features, if i push volume+ +power button the Factory menu has only tests and reboot option, but i would like to flash another rom on the device, but i don't want to try until i haven't got a recovery option. If someone can help me, it would be nice! (I installed goomanager and i can enter to cwm recovery mode from it, but if i would like to flash the cmw to the phone, idk which version sould i choose)
The device is already rooted, with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872072 (the webtrickz one)
2. If do you now any other method to backup and restore my ROM it would be good to me! I found a tool called Smart Phone Flash tool. I think it can do it, but i don't know how. Correct me if this program has other purposes.
(If anyone has some patience and would like to help me, you can add me on msn or skype by kanduur_patrik[.-at-.]hotmail.com thanks!)

Just before I begin, Patrik: would you understand written German for the some of the links that made me understand the Flash Tool are German?
And do you still need help on flashing CWM Recovery on your Tinji?

Well, you know what, you might as well forget about the German
1.) download the flash tool here: http://sdrv.ms/SVnuBD to the folder c:\users\[your username]\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00
2.) run c:\windows\System32\hdwwiz.exe.
3.) choose "Choose hardware manually from a list"
4.) choose "Show all devices"
5.) choose "Disk..." , point to the c:\users\[your username]\Downloads\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00\MTK6577 VCOM USB Driver\usb2ser_Win7_864.inf
6.) choose "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port"
7.) accept to install a non-signed driver even if Windows warns you to do it
8.) remove your Tinji's battery
9.) run the flash tool
10.) click on "Scatter-loading" and open the "MT6577_Android_Scatter_emmc" scatter file
11.) untick "BOOTIMG" and "ANDROID", double-click on "RECOVERY"
12.) choose the "cwm_recovery.img" file
13.) click on "Download"
14.) ignore the "Download Warning"
15.) re-insert the battery, press "Vol Up" [or "Vol Down"]on your Tinji and connect it with the computer
16.) the flash tool should start flashing the modified recovery.img, you might keep pressing "Vol Up", it's not necessary, but anyway the flashing doesn't take long
17.) done!
You can now restart your Tinji anytime you want in recovery, either from Goo Manager or from ROM Manager (funnily enough, pressing "Vol Down" on starting the phone didn't work anymore lately).
Whenever you need your original ("Android system recovery <3e>") recovery, you'll find it under c:\users\[your username]\Downloads\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1.222.00\recovery.img to re-flash it. [Edit 4/12/12: does for some reason not seem to work, AC]
If there's still problems on installing the driver under 6.) and/or you are running Windows other than 7 or 8 and/or other than x64 [64 bit], let me know.
In case of any other problems, feel free to ask!
Thank you!
I will try it, do you know which roms working well with this phone?

Big thanks go out to javum from forum.china-iphone.ru!
hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my bad english ...
I have a tinij i9220 (rooted) and I would like to load the recovery, I downloaded your TWRP, which contains the file recovery.img. To load it on my tinij, I use a tool that I found in the market: mobileuncle Tools, in the menu of the application, there is a function to overwrite the stock recovery: Recovery Update. In this way it would be easier than using SP FLASH TOOL.
you think it's dangerous? I DO NOT HAVE THE BACKUP of my phone.
thanks for everything.

Hey Massimo,
I'm German sorry for my bad Italian...and for your prime minister too, hehe...
I just don't know about mobileuncle - the screenshots were all Chinese, I never downloaded it.
Became addicted to SP Flash Tools - you might notice my signature
First thing I did I backed up my phone - did not work for the recovery which I don't need anymore anyway but worked fine for the system.img and boot.img.
Have bricked my phone since then a hundred times and SP always made my day saving me in the end.
I think it's dangerous to not have a backup. But not for you as have have *my* backup (of system.img + boot.img) which you might download at any time.
I never wrote what happened after installing TWRP - I like it very much, and it's easier than Clockworkmod and it has touch screen functionality and I knew it from my ZTE Skate before but - believe it or not it does not work with the fact that the Tinji has an internal SD card.
I mean maybe I just did not find the option, but I backuped (on the internal SD card) and then was unable to restore for TWRP couldn't find the internal SD much different than Clockworkmod.
So I reflashed Clockworkmod and keep sticking to it ever since.
Have fun,
Alessandro
thanks for the quick reply, so you advise me to use SP FLASH TOOL and CWM, right? To do my first backup I first load the CWM, I do not think there is a way to backup without CWM ...
See you soon

Well, how would you get the CWM on the phone if not with SP Flash Tool?
By just downloading the ROM Manager from Google Play - that was my idea, did not work
Me, I recommend SP, but that's strictly personal.
Whenever you flashed the CWM recovery, you can happily start backuping!

Afraid of kdz updater , here is an alternative to flash rom and recovery
Note: Donot use this method from emergency mode unless you already have a backup of your nv
Note: using this prodcedure there should be no disconnection of phone or power cut.
Using this method you can flash "stock rom + custom recovery" or "stock rom + stock recovery"
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!
download lgmdp : Download Here
1. disable lg modem
( in right click mycomputer->manage->device manager->modems->right click on lg modem disable it)
2. now connect your phone to pc.
3. start lgdmp
4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
(close the pop up window of image select generally you will get it on connect of lgmdp)
5. backup nv for safety (tools->nv backup)
6. After backup , store this nv file somewhere in computer (and remember where you stored lol..)
7. close lgmdp
Now download stockrom+customrecovery
Download v10e ROM(unrooted)(2.2.2) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v10e
(or)
Download v20c ROM(unrooted)(2.3.3) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v20c
Step 1. Extract (use "extract here" for a noob)the downloaded file stockrom+customrecovery
(be sure you have extracted without error in zip extraction and you have all 13 files in extracted folder)
To flash stock rom + custom recovery skip step 2 and follow from step 3 to step 7.
To flash stock rom + stock recovery follow from step 2 to step 7 (including step 3).
Now the extracted folder has stock rom + custom recovery.
Step 2:
2. (a) Download stock_recovery for v10e: Download Here_recovery_v10e
(or) Download stock_recovery for v20c: Download Here_recovery_v20c
(make sure you downloaded correct recovery according to Rom you downloaded)
2. (b) extract the downloaded zip file -> you get recovery.img (this is stock recovery)
2. (c) Now copy this recovery.img file and paste in folder of "stockrom+customrecovery" (which you extracted previously in Step 1) {as their is already a recover.img file in folder it will be copy and replace "for noobs", in this step you replace custom recovery with stock recovery}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3: start lgdmp
Step 4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
Step 5. select the extracted folder "stockrom+custom recovery" as "image folder or image select" in lgmdp
Step 6. Select "Erase EFS APPS" in drop down box of "NVBackup/Restore"
(Caution : donot select other options they might stuck your phone in air plane mode with no gsm )
Step 7. press start or download
DONOT DISCONNECT YOUR MOBILE UNTILL IT SHOWS DOWNLOAD COMPLETE AT BOTTOM
it shows in middle trying to connect to phone etc. donot touch the phone it will be automatically connect everytime.
After download complete you are done with procedure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to flash any other stock rom (kdz) file from lgmdp (Check this url)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : Creating nv with different imei is illegal.
For people who messed up with nv, lost their nv follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534704 to create nv.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NV will be automatically restored at the end before you see download complete.
If any error occured while restore of nv
follow below steps to restore nv
put the nv file which you backed up in first part of procedure in this order*
create new folder
- rename folder: <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
- create new folder in <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
named <port no.> on which your phone is connected
(ex:for com4 name folder as " _COM_4_" (without quotes), you can find
port number when you click on "select port" when connecting mobile to
lgmdp under port column.)
- now place nv2 file in this folder <port no.>
- so now u r nv2 file is in
" \<your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>\<port no.>\ "
- now place lgmdp.exe and <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)> in
new folder
- start lgmdp
- "select port"
- "connect"
- press "NV Restore"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank yoooou!
I cannot express my thanks to you enough. I have been trying to fix my phone for 9 hours now, and every fix I tried didn't work at all. Then I come around to this post thinking "What have I got to lose?" and this is the ONLY fix that WORKED! I still have a thing here or there to figure out for my phone, but I have most functionality back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dear Mak,
I did everything as stated (step 1 and 3). Everything went smoothly and after i saw the message "download completed" I quit the lgdmp and switched on my phone. the problem is that it is stuck at the "android screen" and does not do anything else. its just continously showing the flashing android logo. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Donot worry your phone is not bricked, It takes time for first boot sometimes may be around 10 min or so.
Which recovery wer u using ?
custom (skiped step 2) or stock (followed step 2) ?,
if you flashed custom recovery boot into recovery (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons simultaneously) and do "wipe data/factory reset" then "reboot system" ?
Do you have stored that nv file mentioned in first part of procedure ?
If stuck at logo screen, remove battery and start as mak said, (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons .
Worked for me !
My question now is... can i safely update to 2.3.3 romania firmware through the official LG mobile update tool ?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Mak! Your advice worked and phone is now booting. Howver, theres a small catch though. My phone was locked to orange and I thought it would be unlocked after doing sotck rom+custom recovery. I did follow all the steps for step 1 and step 3, but now when Im inserting other sim, it still shows that the phone is network locked. Can you suggest me what to do now? I just want to unlock it and dont know what to do.

Let me save you some time: you won't find such information here. Not because it's forbidden or illegal, but simply because it can't be done at software level.
What you need is to find an online service that unlocks your phone via some code they will provide based on your IMEI. There's no way you will find such service for free - if you do, please drop me a message with a link - but at least it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than asking your provider to do it.
Thanks Mak, I had to pay £10 to get the unlock code for my phone. Its working like a charm! Thank you all! You guys are saviours!

Bit Confused....
I think u have made a mistake in labelling the section. At the bottom, where you have titled "To back up nv follow below steps". Isn't that part suppose to be the restoring part? And the top part is the backup part. Am I right or am I just confused?

I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

I am good to go now, everything seems to be functioning well after flashing CM7 ROM, no more recovery issues, and the Stock recovery is gone now.

Since there is no way to root this phone using known root apps or MTK Droid Tools (which won't even make proper scatter file) is there at least some CWM / TWRP available? MTK DT says there is a way to root this phone from CWM but I have no idea where to look for it. I found something for Doogee x5 which has MT6580 (without M) but I'm afraid of doing it, I'm not sure how much different MT6580 and MT6580M are

Root it with the KingRoot app. Don't forget that you must turn USB Debugging on BEFORE you attempt to root it. Once it is rooted, leave USB Debugging on. Also, you should then install Busy Box X from the Play Store. Run Busy Box X and elect to install the busybox.
Then install Flashify from the Play Store. Flashify will not work properly unless you completed the installation of busybox in the system. With Flashify, you can back up the stock boot image (also referred to as the kernel image) and the stock recovery image. Save a copy of the back up files on your computer for safekeeping.
Then go back to MTK Droid Tools (make sure USB Debugginh is still on). Now select the Root, Backup, Recovery tab. Then click on the big button that says "Recovery and Boot." This will make the custom recovery for you. During the process, you will be asked to select the boot image file. Just point to the backup you made of the BOOT image from Flashify.
When the MTK Droid is done its thing, you will now have a CWM recovery for your phone. You will find it in the subfolder called "recovery" under the MTK Droid Tools folder. You will also find a "boot patched" image. You can now flash the new CWM recovery image and the new boot image to your phone by copying those files to your SD card and using Flashify to flash the images. Be careful! Do not make a silly error such as flashing the recovery image to the boot partition or you will soft-brick your phone. Flash recovery image to recovery and boot image to boot.
Don't forget to thank me by clicking the Thanks button if I have helped you. And feel free to follow up with any questions.
I'd like this to be so easy but any root app either PC or android version is failing to root this phone. Only SRSROOT is showing that phone is rooted successful but of course it's not true. I checked with Root checker and it says that root it's not properly installed and SU won't install since there is no root at all.
Also MTK Droid Tools won't detect my chipset in 100%. Won't let me root it there or show those tabs you mentioned. Someone somewhere said that MT6580 isn't fully supported yet and I guess it's true. I can modify config files so program will detect my phone that's why I could use option to make scatter file (which wasn't right one anyway).
Guess I will have to wait little longer to finally get root and recovery for this phone. But it's kinda strange that there is no way to actually root MT6580M but DOOGEE x5 with MT6580 has cwm and root already. I was thinking of using this DOOGEE things to root my phone but at the end I passed. Not worth bricking my only phone.

Use the KINGROOT app. Read what is written CAREFULLY. It is not the kingOroot app. These are two completely different root apps. KingRoot will root you Wiko Lenny 2. KingoRoot will NOT. So, no, you don't have to keep dreaming. Just do it!

You´re right... i only tested the KingoRoot... Now i have tested the KingRoot App too, but also without success...

Sorry to hear that. In that case, you may have to do it the hard way.
Use MTK Droid to extract the scatter.txt file (assuming it can get a clear, meaningful scatter). Then use SP Flash Tool to read back a full ROM dump of the phone. Process the ROM dump with MTK Droid. During that process you can create the CWM for the phone. If you have the CWM recovery image, then flash it back to the phone using SPF. Finally, boot into recovery and flash the SuperSu v2.46 zip from your SD card and it should be fully rooted.
This whole process will take the major part of 2 hours. The key is getting the scatter.txt and CWM for the phone. If you are able to do it, post those two files so others can benefit.
Of course, all of this depends on whether the MTK 6580 chipset is compatible with MTK Droid and with SP Flash.
Anyone wanna volunteer check whether the phone works with MTK Droid and SP Flash...then giving the process a go if the compatibility checks out? There's always the risk of bricking the phone at the point you flash the custom recovery or when you install SuperSu from the zip. But you can easily revive it with the firmware backup you make with SP Flash.

Well here it is folks...Hanuma has posted the TWRP for the phone! So no need to root the phone the hard way as indicated in my last post. Also, perhaps SP Flash is compatible with the phone (there is firmware and a flash tool provided in a link by Hanuma...not sure if that's SP Flash or some other flash tool). @hanuma...can you provide some clarity here?
So the EASY way to get root is to flash the TWRP recovery to the phone (you'll need the scatter.txt file to use with SP Flash...or use the flash tool cited by Hanuma). Once you flash this custom recovery, download the SuperSu v2.46 to your SD card, and install it from the SD. You should be fully and properly rooted after that.
Remember to first make a BACKUP of your ROM with the flash tool before anything else. This way, you can recover if you make a mistake.
Could someone please post the scatter.txt for the Lenny 2? And confirm whether the flash tool in that link is SP Flash. Good luck.

i can´t "swipe to allow the modification" of the TWRP... So the recovery is not permanent and i can´t flash the SuperSU.zip...

Not good! Why is nothing as easy as it should be? That's one reason I hate touch recoveries.
Well since you have all the stock firmware files for the phone, it should now be a trivial task to create your own CWM recovery. Just fire up MTK Droid Tools and connect your phone to the computer via USB cable (make sure USB Debugging is on).
When MTK sees your phone, simply click on the Root, Backup, Recovery tab and the big button (called Recovery and Boot) and MTK Droid will make the CWM recovery image for you. Make sure the little radio button marked "To choose the boot.img file" is checked. During the process, it will ask you to select the boot.img from that firmware folder. It needs that kernel to create the perfect custom recovery for your phone.
Then flash only the new CWM recovery to the phone using the SP Flash Tool, just as you did with the TWRP recovery. Once you've got CWM on there, you can flash the SuperSu zip (this CWM recovery uses only the buttons).
Please post the CWM recovery image, the stock recovery and the scatter.txt file after you've confirmed that it works. That way others on the thread can flash the CWM and root their phones without having to download the huge set of firmware files.

Flashing the CWM file works problemless...
CWM and navigation with buttons works great too........but...... i have flashed the SuperSU_2.46 successfully.... after that the phone stucks on Bootlogo "LENNY2"... (i wait around 20min)
Nothing works after that, so i decides that it´s a goog idea to flash the hole rom V14 ... the device need a loog time to boot (ca. 15min) and now i have to rebuild my settings and apps... but thats ok...

That's great progress. At least you're back up and running! Good for you. After you're done rebuilding settings and so on, flash the SuperSu zip again. Then let us know if you're rooted.

Hi guys,
anyone know how to root this phone?
root on Cubot Cheetah 2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...bot-cheetah2-information-reviews-5-5-t3509666
I flashed TWRP, attachted as rar file. I did it like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-clones-t3421539
Did you know that devices has build in recovery menu?!
It can only backup some user data for you
You can get into by pressing POWER and Volume+ for a few sec. while turned of tile boot.
Hold Volume + and press Power again.
***Do not press Volume down, it is "enter" in first recovery screen you maybe start fastboot or normal
***Volume + is for navigate in first recovery screen
Do not flash other super user as in thread... i did and had a heavy bootloop (;
hello
i cooked my 1st rom for a Cubot like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690.
Then i flashed it with the recovery. As installation stoped i got a message: "no os installed do you realy like to reboot?!"
So i cancel process to restore systemfiles which i backed up befor. *
But now all system app are gone and recover them with Titanium backup doesn´t work well. I also got those files from stock image and maybe most by another backup by root explorer. What to do right now?
Try to install my rom again? Via fastboot? Or flashing a clean stockrom i don´t know.
I´m uploading Cheetah 2 rom i cooked since hours, it is ~2gb
Maybe someone can look into it
My pc is to slow to run a emulator to test it. That´s why i try flashing befor posting download link dang

I flashed today TWRP to another Cheetah 2! But this super user installation blow my mind and device!!! Installed chainfire (2.52) as in linked thread made my phone hang on cubot bootlogo. Then i downloaded SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip and i pass the boot but now all system apps are gone again! Recovered it with my TWRP backup.
Thinking about retry 2.72 SuperSu which maybe was reason of bootloop on 1st cubot rooting :fingers-crossed:
Keep in mind to backup your whole system if you enter TWRP 1st time, befor installing SuperSu. Suggesting befor install TWRP make backup with stock recovery!
Maybe a video i made on that 2nd rooting procedure is helpful to you?

Do a websearch: "unlock bootloader adb" example
It is basicly same step as in ultimate MT6753 thread url = see me 1st reply
You just need fastboot.exe and your Cheetah running as adb device to install TWRP.
Make sure you got it installed Cheetah via ADB driver not as MTP device or else!
TWRP is same on cheetah 1 & 2 not 100% sure, maybe ask megathebest .
Alternative method:
adb.exe to unlock and
Sp flashtool with vCOM-driver installed

Another method to install TWRP is via update.zip but if you have to unlock oem via adb (minimal adb fastboot.exe) why manuel flash it.
How:
Rename twrp.zip to XXX-stock-rom name-XXX.zip place it at you internal memory boot into fastboot by power and volume button.
Ya, there are loads of tutorial on the internet about TWRP 3.1.1 For Cheetah 2 which means root is possible for the device running the latest Android OS.

i had the same problem but was very easy coming out. just connect the otg cable to your phone since the handset supports otg functionality then use the pc mouse once you have rebooted into recovery mode. works swiftly!!!!
i downloaded the custom recovery for t20 (TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-t20-2019-01-18_20-02) from gethub "i cant attach the link because of the forums rules"
then flashed it using fastboot , but then the tablet didn't boot into normal mode but i was getting the boot mode selection when i hold the (power + volume up) which gave me access to recovery mode and fastboot mode
the problem is that this custom recovery had issues with the touch screen and was basically not usable .
so i switched the phone into fastboot and i flashed the patched boot image that was working before but the tablet still didn't boot into normal mode , then i flashed the stock recovery image and now every thing gone .
the tablet has no options to boot into fastboot or recovery anymore.
basically the tablets boots and i get the teclast logo then the image of the broken android with a "no command" on screen and nothing else
i tried holding the volume up and plug in the usb-c cable but i got the same broken droid
holding volume up and power doesn't give the options for boot modes anymore
i would appreciate any help a this moment , thanks

SP Flash tool should help you. Install stock firmware and everything should be restored, a device on MTK isn't so easy to kill. Just check the revision of your device (E1 or E2, on the back cover). I tried this TWRP and already spoke of that control it only with mouse (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78710093&postcount=5). I have my own version of the TWRP (3.2.2), there's also a problem with orientation of the screen. But PhilZ recovery works without problems, the management of keys.

Those are the notes i made for my self regarding your issue:
at the end we may get an error when flashing the patched-boot.img using sp flash tool
so we need to use fastboot instead
first we need to install ADB and fastboot in the PC (follow link bellow):
https://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/
then power off the device then (hold the volume up+ power ) to enter the BOOT mode (the usb must be disconnected)
then select the fastboot from the menu
then we can use the commands :
#fastboot flash boot c:/patched_boot.img --> make sure the image is in the C folder
if this failed we need to unlock the OEM
#fastboot oem unlock -- > then confirm from the tablet
then try again
#fastboot flash boot C:/patched_boot.img
and when its done we can issue the command for restarting tablet
#fastboot reboot

Got the boot.img flashed and recovery flashed (Phil's), but cannot do a full backup in recovery, cannot Mount data.
Have you been able to do a full backup?

Standard phenomenon for Nougat/Oreo: to mount a partition /date, must first format it. With loss of user data!
Some TWRP editions don't require this, /data mounted.
Hello.
Thanks ViAlexSt for the help, but I´m still having problems with root
, I try with (MTK) Auto TWRP recovery porter and with MTK Auto Philz recovery porter, with success only with TWRP.
Wiith Philz only get into recovery, when go to the OS the screen freeze with Teclast Logo in red.
With TRWP have an error, not able to mound device.
Is no possible install zip or create a backup.
Any idea??
I have a T20 T2E1
Thanks
I format with SPFlashtool with format+flash option, but not work, no backup, no any wipe.
Still with message Unable to mount parition.
I will try with an older version OF TWRP.
Some screenshots.
Thanks

Did you manage to do it? It's necessary to format the partition from CWM/TWRP!
Do you need additional explanations?

Thank you very much for yor reply.
Yes I try formating with twrp but the same problem, at the end I take the risk and use a downloanble image "TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-t20-2019-01-18_20-02". The one generated with the porter doesn´t work for my Teclast T20 (T2E1).
With this one "TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-t20-2019-01-18_20-02.img works at the first".
And after that I was able to install "Magisk-v18.0.zip" and "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip".
And finally I get root access, but after a wile I see the propblem with the IMEI wich was Inavild, after try with many options like generate the file MP0B_001, use Uncletools, droid tools, and many other Apps.
Finally today... I found a solution in a Spanisf Forum Dual Sim, Thanks to user "pedrogem" the most easy way to set an IMEI.

Hi toxstoxs.
Is already done in this link with all the downloads https://romprovider.com/2019/01/teclast-t20-root-twrp/.
I follow these steps exept the use of adb. In stead, I used SP Flash Tool, the utility included in the the original ROM which you can download from the official Teclast website.
Be sure to make the backups mentioned in the procedure NVRAM and nandroid, in case you lose your IMEI you will need restore the NVRAM backup.
With SP flash tools, upload the recovry.img "the downloaded TWRP from the link above" and your boot.img "patched on your device with magisk manager from you original"
I use the boot image from the original rom downloaded from Teclast, which I flash previously.
Be sure to make the backups mentioned in the procedure NVRAM and nandroid, in case you lose your IMEI you will need restore the NVRAM backup.
Just take in mind... touch screeen is not working well in TWRP you should use a mouse, the touch screen is in portrait possition but wou will see the screen in landscape, I do it without a mouse but is not easy, if you can get a mouse will be bether.
Regards.

I went troght that step by step guide but :
1) into Pre requirement steps, i made a NVRAM backup with SP Tool.
step 2 is not so interesting to me as the tablet is new so no personal data are saved.
point 3 : How suppose to make a nandroid backup if no TWRP is intalled???
then.. i suppose that it mean to INSTALL a TWRP and just after make a nandroid backup right?
but...
just after ulock the bootloader and reaching step by step the point 7 and 8 of the guide,
after the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" the device reboot and go in permanent loop.
No way to access the recovery.
is there something that i may check? just once i been able to enter the twrp and the main problem were the impossibilty to access and format the /data partition so, no factory reset were possible and obviously no bbot as well (permanent boot loop).
Im not use adb tools, im only use sp fash tool.
I do it like this.
1 flash the downloaded Rom from Teclast with SP flash tool, to get all fresh.
2 Enable usb debug and oem unlock
3 copy in your device the stock boot.img from the folder firmware from the zip downloaded from Teclast,
4 in your device install the app Majisk manager and use it to patch your original boot.img
5 copy into sd the files magisk.zip, No verity opt encrypt.zip,
6 with sp flash tool flash the patched boot.img and the downloaded TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-2019-01-18_20-02"]twrp renamed to recovery.img ”this was the only one trwp which works on my T20”https://github.com/TwrpBuilderTests/android_device_teclast_t20/releases/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-2019-01-18_20-02
7 reboot in recovery with TWRP and install magisk.zip and no verity opt encrypt.zip
