Preboy: so everyone has to edit their recovery partition separately?

how do i take screenshots in CTR?
sure, that's why I said if there is anyone interested.


for that ss, it involves pc and don't think u are interested in something like that

Preboy: some pretty amazing features, bt saying cwm can't reboot recovery and boot loader is an insult na!

still waiting for what philz and twrp got to offer, and not every body here own a system so the method you posted is way complicated #shakinInMyBoots
but I haven't posted the process at all. just mentioned the requirements. the problem is that this f5 has 6mb recovery partition which is not enough for twrp or philz tr which i have ported already, they are 6mb+. so what I want to post is how to increase the partition to 7mb so that it can accommodate it


those screenshot posted by qunlexus was taking from his TECNO m5. I think m5's recovery partition is 15mb so it can accommodate the recoveries without any issue. hope u can understand me now

swisscarter: i said "MAIN DIFF" in terms of bckup!!!!!!!!!! READ!!!!!!!!!!
easy na, what made u so hash? at least we are having no conflict before
PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m): 10:30pm On Jul 26, 2014
for the twrp, u have to increase ur recovery partition to 7mb by tweaking ur scatter file gotten from mtkdroid tool,


TOOLS NEEDED
1. mtkdroid tools ( will upload this )
2. sp flash tool v5.1
3. USB driver (pdanet) ( will upload this)
4. mt6572 vcom preloader driver
5. windows based PC ( windows xp, vista or
windows 7)
6. USB cable
7. MTK TWRP TOOL (I will upload this)

u have to search and download others. when u are ready I will post the procedure. still waiting for kigster anyway to know what he is going to offer. maybe his method would be simpler
PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m):
Preboy: post it, I'm interested


apart from touch and aroma, every thing else CTR has, cwm's got... the touch doesn't even work sometimes
can u mount ur USB storage on Cwmr to access ur files from PC through USB just as the phone is on, can u turn off md5 verification on cwmr, do u want to compare the ui with Cwmr , can u delete backup directly from cwmr, can u reboot the recovery in Cwmr, can u power of the phone directly from Cwmr without removing battery, can u go to bootloader directly on Cwmr and many more I can't even remember. ctr is far better than Cwmr. for the touch not working. it depends on phone, nothing like that on m3 and p5. and this happens when u go to the recovery through the volume up and power button. to avoid that, reboot to recovery directly without switching off the phone and u won't experience that trust me

stephinnoyewole: pls help me, I've cwm installed on my phone already,
can I port CTR on it like dat?
how can I reverse back to cwm after ported CTR?
hope no damage will b caused?
finally, hope it will not involved wiping or factory reset of my data?

tanx alot
I have posted the procedure, I will try and upload mine anyway to flash through mobile uncle. u can always revert back to Cwmr without any error or data wiping but I don't think there would be any reason for u to revert back
PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m): 9:06pm On Jul 26, 2014
swisscarter: CTR na CWM bt no nid 4 volume up and down to highlight u just touch d screen and it responds. If u bckup it wil stil be in d "clockworkmod" folda
and u think that's just the diff? I bet it, u haven't used CTR before
PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m): 9:03pm On Jul 26, 2014
Preboy: any news on twrp?
yeah but the process is dangerous if u don't know what you are doing. I will post the process if there is anybody interested

dewisefrank: tried flashing CTR. not working!!!!

PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m): 7:03pm On Jul 25, 2014
swisscarter: bt na cwm nd ctr common pas..just incase ur fone brick u fit use ur fwnd own tk recover am
yeah that's true. but u should always have a backup of ur phone before doing anything funny on it
PhonesRe: Tecno F5 Discussion Thread by tboyw(m): 5:49pm On Jul 25, 2014
dewisefrank: hmmmmmm

Preboy: link to download CTR.exe and do I have need pdanet to be installed on my phone?
just follow the steps I posted to install PDA net on ur PC , it will automatically install phone version on your phone. download padnet here www.dropbox.com/s/3fpg86t6nbe9bj4/PdaNetA4016.exe and ctr here www.dropbox.com/s/5yqac83j2g4bm7k/CTRv2.4.7z

it is 98% safe. just use auto port for the CTR , it as simple as ABC cos to port manually, u need some knowledge on packing and unpacking boot and recovery partition... for the twrp and Philz tr, I'm still working on it, just that I have limited time (school things).
