[ROOT][CWM]GiONEE E7 Chinese CWM Recovery /w translations

This is the Chinese recovery based on CWM. It works fine with GiONEE E7.
I used Recovery Tools to flash it.
Use above app to backup your stock recovery before flashing it.
Instructions to flash:
(Make sure you are rooted prior to this.)
1. Install Recovery Tools from above link.
2. You will get a prompt to backup your stock recovery. DO IT.
3. Download attached file and copy it to your phone.
4.Select 'Flash Recovery' option.
5. Select 'from storage' and select it from your phone.
6. flash it.
You're done!
Alternatively you can flash it through fastboot as well.
Launch Fastboot through CMD and use following command:
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
IT IS IN CHINESE. WATCH YOUR STEPS!
Please see the attached images for translations of options

If it were so easy then why would I have bothered with Chinese recovery!!
ROM manager doesn't have any recovery for our phone. So it's pretty much useless except for launching into recovery.

[RECOVERY][APP][TWRP/CWM/PhilZ]Recovery Collection

After @Envious_Data and me discovered that there is no real collection for the most up-to-date recoveryimages, for both stock and AOSP based Roms we decided to create this thread in order to change this.
Recoverys:
CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1
PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.59.0 (CWM Version 6.0.5.1)
TWRP 2.8.3.0 (2.8.1.0 recommend as 2.8.3.0 is not starting on some Roms)
Installation
Download the recovery images in the Download section reboot your phone into fastboot mode and execute the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img
in fastboot.
When you want to flash it from your phone, navigate into the folder where you downloaded the recoveryimage and execute the command:
Code:
dd if="*name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
as root in Terminal Emulator.
If you are lazy you can also use my App, M5-Settings. It automatically downloads the most up-to-date recoveryimage to your externel SD Card and flashes the recoveryimage to your FOTAKernel Partition.
Download:
CWM Recovery
PhilZ Touch Recovery
TWRP
M5-Settings
Sources:
CWM Recovery
PhilZ Touch Recovery
TWRP (download currently linking to the reupload prebuilt 2.8.1.0 official recoveryimage, never builds will be compiled from source)

Hi Both,
I want to get the M5Kernal and flash it on a CM12 that has cyanogenmod recovery
So which Recovery do you suggest and which version which will make this process an easy one.
I tried to flash TWRP (forgot the version) but it would show everything pixelated with horizontal lines making nothing readable nor functional.
Edit: I have flashed Philz, flashed M5KernelV2 and guess what, phone stuck at "Android is upgrading.. Starting apps" for the past 3 minutes.
I'll give it some time and update
Edit: So it wouldn't boot and I had to wipe it fully and tried again, all good.
Best of all, the recovery actually "sticks"
Regards

Hmm, you should probably mention that you need to unlock your bootloader first? unless I'm mistaken..

Not exactly
You cant use fastboot on xperias if the bootloader is locked
I dont think fotakernel/recovery is a part of the bootloader (likely hence why we cant boot right into recovery)
You do need a custom kernel to use recovery
But to install it i think is a different case, im not experianced all too much with locked bootloaders so this info is based off of a conversation between a bunch of devs

can I use this one on a ROOTED STOCK ROM in 4.4.2 and build .137?!

as the post above yours says, you need a custom Kernel to use a FOTAKernel Partition. I'd recommend Advanced Stock Kernel by AndroPlus or AndroPlusKernel

@Myself5 i tried instal twrp from your awesome app after an format and updated my device to lollipop stock and back to cm12 but anytime the device boot in cyanogenmod recovery its somthing with bootloader changed at lollipop?

Will any of the recoveries work on Locked Bootloader running Android 5.0.2?

Dafuq ?

When will there be a recovery for lollipop?

All recoverys are already compatible with Lollipop.

I thought the "fastboot flash recovery...." command is not valid on Sony's world as the recovery partition is combined in kernel? I always thought the kernel and the recovery must be united then flashed with "fastboot flash boot ....." command? Am I wrong?

the recovery partition isnt 100% independant so you need a kernel that supports fotakernel (recovery partition)
but they are separate, boot and recovery

As the post right above yours says, you need a kernel which supports loading Recoverys from FOTAKernel Partition (if you run stock, I'd recommend either advanced Stock Kernel or AndroPlus Kernel, both made by @AndroPlus), which both need a unlocked bootloader in order to work, so the answer to your question is no, it does NOT work on locked bootloader, for LB you might want to try XZDualRecovery.

You are kidding me, right? READ THE OP!

I did and i didnt find nothing. As far as i know we need to run a bat file to fix it if you are running stock xperia lp. You can find a link in their thread.

Recovery doesn't stick
So I downloaded your awsome m5-settings app and tryed to installed twrp recovery on my z2, running cm12. Booted into recovery, and twrp came up (instead of cm recovery). But it doesn't "stick". I can't press any buttons, and after approximately 10-20 seconds the phone reboot normal again. I've tried to use cwm also, but twrp still shows up and doesn't work. Last resort I tried philz, but still got twrp.
I also tried to run fotacwm img, thru terminal emulator. But nothing works.
All I want is a custom recovery that works, since CM 12 recovery is useless!!
Btw. I'm a noob, so please be gentle against me
Ps: I added a screenshot of the phone details. It's in Norwegian, but I guess you understand (sorry)

Nice ^.^ ... i will get your CWM and compare with Chinese CWM to be sure about don't get any error... if you can compare to get sure about compatibility to don't brick the phone :highfive:

when i get time i can check that ;D... i'm busy too =#
we can use another recovery's too... because we just stay looking what already have developed on XDA... BUT we have Developers on other forums... like 4PDA(RUSSIA), Gionee Forum, BBS(Chinese) and a lot of others... we need can try make a Index Inside XDA to push Other Development projects from other forums to be more easy to get a better community to can have more projects running... for example: CWM already have been developed on Chinese and Russian Forums and TWRP already have been developed to Kazam Tornado 348.. and that is to SAME PHONE... Just using another name/Brand =#
we need push XDA ADM/GM's to make a generic page to our phone... because he have too much Brand/Names but is exactly same phone and hardware =#
...
but anyway is awesome get someone already developing any project on xda.. don't give up this phone, he is powerful and we maybe can get CUSTOM KERNEL from Spanish TeamForce Developer team.. we just need flood them to demonstrate interest about that phone.. :highfive:

Hmm well guyz you gotta try it once but after you get a tutorial for flashing the stock rom on your device.

Deleted. My mistake of not knowing

DUHAsianSKILLZ said:
... guess no on wants a recovery. I dont own the device but, it should only break recovery if it fails. You can simply backup your stock recovery in flashify, and also, with a few commands typed in terminal.. You can create an image dump so you can flash incase you get into bootloops(unsure if it works). I have flashed many broken recoveries before and never had an hardbrick. Im not sure if BLU has download mode on their device but, as long you can reboot into that, you should be fine. Im unsure if there are any stock roms out right now.

Not a fair statement from someone that doesn't own the device It is very difficult to get adb running for this phone consistently. Additionally, backing up stock recovery fails using flashify. Lastly, I did attempt to flash this this morning with the recommended app from the OP and flashify and this is the recovery it booted to afterwards, which looks like the stock recovery (correct me if I am wrong).

that is the stock recovery... you can try use the KAZAM Tornado 348 TWRP, because they are the same phone and Share the same SDK to build Kernel and Another Boot images, if that don't work just flash your backup over it using ADB/fastboot
:highfive:
From 4dpa they have CWM and Carliv CWM working... but the best recovery to them is the official TWRP from Kazam Tornado 348

The point I am making is it appears that theses apps are not writing to our recovery partition. I will try to grab a log later if I can get adb running with this phone. I flashed the recovery in the OP several times and trying several apps.
Can you link to the recovery you are speaking of? I tried this because I was willing to chance it for the community.

this "apps" work to our recovery partition because they are the SAME PHONE... Same SoC... Same Manufacture project(From Gionee) I'm Running TWRP from KAZAM here... you can give a try without problems :highfive:
if your phone don't stay be recognized on computer try follow the steps on my Root Topic to get ADB driver Working Correctly... but if after install the ADB driver it don't get work you need reset the ADB.exe cache on computer...
just open CMD and run this code: taskkill /F /T /IM adb.exe
then try run the code: "ADB Devices" inside the folder where stay installed the ADB (if you follow my steps on C:\adb\ you will get it)
and Turn OFF the 3rd Firewall security Programs on windows to get fully access to ADB Daemon Service :highfive:

I hope the OP doesn't mind our chatter. I was able to flash the Twrp but it isn't without its issues. It is giving problems mounting cache and data when trying to wipe. I made a couple of backups and flashed a version of MIUI that I found in the Blu google + community. I was going to restore to stock but couldn't get Twrp to completely power off the device. Eventually data wiped and MIUI booted. Will check to see if I can restore a backup tomorrow.

Man i told u before i tried these all exactly 3 type of file with 3 methods.

If TWRP doesnt work, idk if this can help you. The last options is flash other recovery to remove this problem. Try philz and cwm (which is the same but philz is advanced). Tip: If one recovery doesnt work dont try it
PS: You have the same scenario like me on TWRP installation

[TWRP 3.1.0-3] [Lenovo P2] [p2a42] [Unofficial]

Hey guys
I already find way to compile to the latest twrp 3.1.0-3 unofficially, to fix some existing bugs in previous version twrp both official or unofficial, like in prevous twrp, if you try to encrypt your data, you will getting alot trouble or imposible to decrypt and enter and access data user again.
Bug fixs:
Encryption,
Decryption,
Aroma installer,
All are fully working properly
Flash with previous twrp recovery or by fastboot
How to flash:

Tried to flash it but I'm stuck on 3.0.3.0.
UPDATE: somehow sometimes my P2 boots version 3.0.2.0 and sometimes 3.0.3.0, but how?

Just enter to twrp recovery mode click install section, click install image section on right bottom side, and navigate to where is twrp img that you already downloaded, and thick button on recovery option (make sure not to choose wong section other than thick recovery button), then flashed, next restart to enter to boot recovery one again.

That's exactly what I did, but didn't work. Guess I'll flash it with fastboot.

Yes you can, just rename the downloaded file to twrp.img

Thanks for this version! The other twrps indeed are not working with aroma installers.

Hell yeah! Thanks man!

For some reason I can't install the latest materialiazed 3.1.0.0 via the flash image in twrp. It installs, but the theme is the standard, not like in the screenshots. I didn't tried the fastboot method as I'm lazy.

Thanks bro.. i'll try this!!

Maybe the question sounds stupid but why it is not allowed to flash update.zip ( TWRP inside ) with original Lenovo recovery ?

To prevent twrp ask for code security, use second line when you wanna create security, if twrp ask code security, remove your security first and create new one like above
