Hi All,
I have a Ntel Techno Camon C5 which I believe was customized for Ntel and is different from the stock C5. I mistakenly over-wrote the recovery image with a TWRP and now the phone is stuck in a reboot loop. I believe if someone can extract the recovery image from another functional C5 using the procedure at https://www.leakite.com/how-to-backupextract-your-android-phone/ I may be able to use the image to fix my phone (still not certain how I would even do that since it basically powers up, shows the tecno logo, reboots again).

Thanks all!

There's alternative procedure to extract the files from a Non-rooted device as well (but that's not my aim to explain here)
I can guide you how to flash the STOCK recovery back when you get it

NOTE: It's after the battery dies before you can flash it back and again the fact that it's customized to a particular network does not mean they did not use some basic variant component.

Try getting the Tecno C5 variant recovery online (if not all) then flash it one after the other for compatibility (b4 ur miracle variant appaears)

@ryfoz : Thanks. I did flash some stock rom I found on the internet to the phone and now it boots up but there is nothing at all on the screen. I know it is up because i can connect to it using "adb shell" but unfortunately "su" is not available within the shell.

take the phone to carlcare and see if they can help out

you are having lk.bin problem.

Try to find another stock recovery that can boot it up properly and will display after that
if it doesn't work then you look for compatible lk.bin (usually small in size like 5MB down to 3MB)

I have downloaded several but they all seem to contain the same image.

hmmm na wa o

@ryfoz - seems there is really only one image out there even though they are packaged by different people under different file names. The lk.bin and other components are the same (I did a file compare). The popular one is named []-Tecno-C5-H351-D1-L.zip and another one named Tecno_C5_MT6735.zip are exactly the same. I have tried "Download Only" and even "Firmware Upgrade" using the SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2032 and it definitely wrote the files to the phone. Yet, when I power it on afterwards I can see the screen light up but nothing actually shows.
So I am still looking for someone with the Ntel version of this phone. I am guessing if I extract the files from that, it will work.
Thanks!
