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.

awesome work bro:highfive:

Awesome work on bringing the recovery to this device , Although my personal opinion but the AMIGO UI on Gionee devices is crap . this is a step in the right direction to get rid of the proprietary UI & bring on some aosp goodness !!

Finally it is here..
Bought my device yesterday. 4200Mah is the reason i got this device. The stock Amigo UI sucks and i was looking forward to some custom ROMS. thanks for this recovery. Lets get to work and create our first custom AOSP ROM for this great device. :good:

Dude this is really awesome , thanks a ton for the rom !!

awesome! but could you..?
Hey, congrats on the awesome work, just a few questions,
1) did you try making a full backup of stock ROM with this recovery?
2) did you try making a restoring a full backup of stock ROM with this recovery?
is it working perfectly?
3) could you make a guide on how to make a backup of stock ROM which can be flashed via PC using Smartphone(SP) tools? or better yet could you upload stock ROM that is flashable through smartphone tools (with instructions on how to flash please!)

I found it working in my device [4GB Gionee M2]. Actually I flashed it directly via SP Flash tools just by replacing it in the KITKAT stock ROM, even before rooting it.
[Knowing that its size does not exceed the limits of the recovery partition specified in the scatter file]
I found it working, Use it at your own risk.
It may also work with 8GB varients, but not checked by me.
:good: I hope you liked it.

after updating recovry img..when i boot into recovry mode it showing normal recovry mode?what to do?

Enable AROMA FILE MANAGER in CTR recovery

To do so,
Put the extracted contents of clockworkmod.zip (clockworkmod\.aromafm ) into the respective folder of your sd card. This will enable aroma file manager in CTR recovery. File is attached for your ease, & not owned by me. Thanks to the original author of these files.
File manager path on your sd card: \clockworkmod\.aromafm (See the dot), Use PC card reader to extract the files into your sd card.
It needs root permission if you use phone's root file manager to copy & yet can be unsuccessful.
So it is better to use the pc to extract/copy the files to the memory card.
:good: I hope you liked it.

If you were not successful using mobile uncle tools in the phone interface,
Use PC to Flash recovery.img using sp-flash tools. (Please be aware of how to install required drivers etc..)
Select original scatter file of your version of ROM. If You are using stock ROM, Make sure that you have not altered the phone partitioning earlier.
Be careful and Remember to select/tick only 'recovery' in the list. You can also check preloader if you like. and select ONly 'download' button. (NOT firmware upgrade!). Connect your switched off phone to your PC. Wait till your task is complete. Shows tyou a green circle.
It works perfectly.
But Do it at your own risk without blaming anyone in the forum if you encounter any error.

HOW TO FLASH RECOVERIES WITHOUT PC
Hello....android one users..
..I'm going to create a thread regarding how to flash recoveries without PC ...there is a reason...because all Android one users don't have pc...but still they wanna customize their android one with rooting,mods,ROMs,and recoveries..
But first of all they need root access if they wanna try ROMs or they wanna modify their Android one..you might think rooting is smart enough to get rid off??.nay...first and for most you need recovery to flash zips,ROMs n other stuffs so....if you are rooted ur android one and trying to install a custom recovery like philz/cwm/twrp you are at the right place...now let's move to the point why I'm here If u wanna install a custom recovery then u must need a PC ...thanks to flashify a way better than ...others to get rid off..it'll remove the lack ness of PC...while flashing custom recovery ...let me start
REQUIREMENTS
1.you need a android one ofcourse:silly:
2.a great working mind(usually one who know about development)
3.root access on ur android one(go here http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url...087781&sig=APONPFm7Kw2wPs0G348JRevFBtAaEunFmg)
4downloaded files of custom recoveries(philz/twrp)
5.Flashify(root)app.
HOW TO FLASH
Yea.....1st Download those recoveries from below link(whichever you want )
Then extract that downloaded files on your SD_card ..after extraction you can see recovery.IMG file from your extraction ...if there is available then you are doing right... Now goto play store/any other links (google it) and download FLASHIFY (ROOT) application... If u got that all then cool...
Now open flashify app from ur app drawer...then open it...allow root permission it'll asks to root access otherwise it'll won't work at all...then you can see two heads in the app like 1st one flash section and other one backup section..now choose backup 1st and backup ur current recovery.IMG..if u done this then move to flash section and choose Recovery. IMG and choose >choose file then choose where u extracted ur recovery zip and choose recovery.img1 then it'll asks to flash file by normal android way and other if 1st one not works you need to choose 2nd one and tap on flash and tap yup...wait ...wait...yeah..now it says reboot system now if u tap reboot system now" then it'll boot into recovery and now you can confirm that's ..you're in a custom recovery ....there you can flash zips...Roms....and others mods....if you wanna know what are the advantages of custom recoveries then google it...Now u got a custom recovery
HOW TO REMOVE CUSTOM
RECOVRY
Just restore your backed up recovery.IMG from flashify...njoy
