What method should we use for flashing CWM Recovery on A500s IPS version, since you've mentioned IPS version doesn't flash the recovery of A500s version? @PrimeNexes

The other guides work for A500s ONLY and this one works for both.

Just update the OP then it's a bit misleading about the recovery working on the IPS version or not.

You should have just opened CWM after installing the custom ROM and install the nandroid backup you made before installing ANY ROM and you got stuck at XOLO logo as the ROM is not for IPS model.
My advice:
1) Flash the Stock ROM by SP_Tools
2) Try to open the CWM if you can,did you backup when you used the MTKDroid tool.
Help Please!!
I installed cwm for my Xolo A500s via mobile uncle tools. But when i reboot into recovery, its just says now command with a dead android logo. My cellphone is working fine but i am afraid it might get bricked if i again try to do it though the method you have mentioned. I dont even have a backup. Please suggest what should i do.

You don't have CWM installed I think its the default Recovery there.And it won't brick your phone messing with Root files will.

Have you installed CWM ?
If you have installed CWM hold power key + volume up key together until boot logo shows.Hold it for few more seconds to boot in CWM recovery.
