seunpayne: until it so happens that someone uploads the system image, this is the quickest method to unbrick. most people calling me didn't back up so if you are reading dis and you haven't bricked or fone, you had better backup with either cwm or twrp. you really have no excuse if you have a rooted phone.

here are the steps: (note this step is for cwm users only)
note: you will need a working f7 too. so go out and look for one. people in abuja can call me.

1. go to the tecno f7 official discussion thread here and download d tools I uploaded there. (I might post d link here later sha) download everything including the cwm recovery image and put in one folder. if you dont have d correct drivers den download d tecno f7 root tools zip file too. make sure everything is one folder. now download the so flash tools and make sure its the version specified in the posts above or else it won't work.

2. at this point everything should be downloaded and installed. root the working f7 and install mobile uncle tools from playstore now follow the instructions I wrote in the post where you downloaded cwm from and flash it into d working f7. once that is done boot into recovery and backup the phone (nothing will go wrong but we need to)

3. now open the folder where u downloaded d files to (everything must be in d same folder o) and cut the scatter file out and paste it in anoda place (anywhere. just make sure its not in d same folder as the other files).
open so flash tools and use d file tab to load DAT scatter file. copy d cwm recovery and overwrite d recovery inside d folder

now it should show u a list of things to flash. untick everything except recovery. now double click on d word recovery andselect d cwm recovery you copied there. please make sure everything is in d same folder o.

4 remove the bat3 from the bricked f7. click download in sp flash tools and plug d bricked f7. flashing will begin and whenn it ends you should see a green circle.

5. now put d memory card from the working f7 inside d bricked one and put the bat back. press and hold d volume up + power button and you will see 3 options when it boots. use d volume up to scroll to the first option (recovery mode) and use d volume down button to select it. and cwm should boot.

6 now use d volume buttons to scroll down to backup and restore. use d power button to select it. chose advanced restore and den choose d file with DAT days date and den chose restore system. once that is done your phone will wake up again.

I'll answer questions now.

Tried flashing your CWM using fastboot (Android SDK)but I got this line of error

writing 'recovery'
FAILED <remote: partition 'recovery' not support flash>
finished. total time: 0.383s

The reason for typing all that long turenchi is so i don't get posts like dis. Who asked you to use fastest abeg? Follow the instructions please and if you can't then take the phone to calcare. These things are simple really but people just try to complicate them. If u want to flash then use sp tools.

Yaa, it really SOUNDS 'irrational' trying to LISTEN to a post!!

Bricked f7? Go here: https://www.nairaland.com/1370444/tecno-f7-system-image

You damn well know what am about...was only being 9Jerian in every way...all the same thanks

I also made a post to unbrick tecno F7. Much of it was provided from Nairaland, but i added images to it so that its easy to follow. Follow this steps http://phonegist..com/2013/07/how-to-unbrick-tecno-f7-smartphone.html

Any problem you can address it to me back.

What you are doing is called leaching and it's very shameful. The least you can do is acknowledge that the links are files provided by me. If i put password on the file now your links won't work.

Nairaland provided no link. Those are links to my Google drive. I have a good mind to just take down the link so you can see how stressful uploading it was and know how it feels when someone else takes credit for what you have done. Grow up

thanks for letting him know his misdeeds...and equally thanks for keeping your links open...i really appreciate your magnanimity (you have been a pacesetter and i am happy for it) thanks once again

@seunpayne. I didn't take credit for it. I just told you that I got it from Nairaland but don't know exactly who from. Someone had the issue and couldn't understand the instructions well. I guided him. He gave me the links to download. So I downloaded them to know how to better explain. If you check the post, you will notice a kudos to the guy with the problem and I only mentioned that I added images only. So I didn't take any credit. Besides, Internet is for sharing of information. If you lock up your link because someone re-wrote your instructions what do you stand to get? Since all the files are not built by you or programed by you, you downloaded someone's program and uploaded to your drive. Did you give credit to the programer? Stop being childish and trying to label me a leach.

If you block the links someone else would also upload via Dropbox and share to the public.

However, Kudos to you for a job well done and providing the instructions and files. Really appreciated

Pedro you be ode, proper mumu. I didn't have problem with my Tecno F7, i only helped another person with the issue to explain better. And if you actually took the time to check the post, his name was duly mentioned and thanked for his work on releasing the files.
