since last year when I bought this tecno Y4 for my kid brother, I've searched the whole of the Internet for the custom recovery all to no avail..
so I tried searching for how to build a custom recovery for the device. but the results I was getting always required a computer. NB: I don't have computer. so I searched until I stumbled upon a post that let's you do it with just your phone. I tried it but it didn't work. I tried it again and it worked. now the problem is that the custom recovery I built saves system files to cache folder and data in system folder when I do a nandroid backup, but the backup restores very well without issues. I download some mtk roms for mt6572, ported them and tried to install them but three of them refused to install. the only one that installed got stuck at the bootlogo. then I discovered that I was trying to install a jellybean based rom on a Kitkat device. now I have downloaded KK based roms. I don't want to waste time porting and installing the rom when I don't know whether they will work well. all I need is for someone to tell me if the way my custom recovery takes backups will affect how the Rom will install. whether the system partition will be installed in cache causing a bootloop. then anyone with links to a perfect custom recovery for tecno Y4 should reply please.
