Whether you like it or not, your Android device will be
tired of life and might possible brick or somehow decide to misbehave. I have
seen a 2 days old Android device that seizes to work… only stock at the boot
logo. In order word, your android device will go a-wire someday. But before it develops
any problem you can decide to use “stick and carrot approach” to solve the
problem by creating a CWM Recovery image for your device by yourself.

It is very important you have your device recovery image/stock
boot.img… If you don’t have it, then you are one leg in and one leg out. I just can’t guarantee you that your Android device
will work normal by the time you turn it ON tomorrow morning.

How Can
I Create Recovery.img/stock boot.img
You don’t have to depend for others or ask for them how to make one ’cause you
can create your own stock boot.img and recovery.img for your MediaTek (MTK)
devices by just following this long but simple steps below.
This method will work on any Mediatek
such as
such as
MT6595,
MT6592, MT6589, MT6582, MT6577, MT6575, MT6572, MT65xx

Steps Involve
==> Install MTK USB Driver, you have
to install all drivers included there, also, extract MTK Droid Root and
Tools, SP Flash Tool to any location you are comfortable
with on your PC.

==> Connect your android device to your Windows computer, make
sure you have installed properly all the drivers from MTK USB Drivers to
avoid interruptions during this process. From your device, you must also
enable USB Debugging on your device Settings —
Developer options, now your device must be auto-detected by your
computer, if not, please properly install the USB drivers. It is also better if
you set your android device to Airplane Mode.

It will look like the image below. Now, click Read
Back tab.

==> From Read Back tab, click ADD twice so
that we can add two tasks. Why? One is for getting the boot.img and the second
one is for recovery.img. We can use them as stock backups and we can also use
it as a basis for flashing CWM custom recovery and making a full ROM backup or
dump.

==> Now, we will start the process. Let’s start with the boot.img,
double-click the first N/A.

==> This is the most crucial part. You must enter the proper
hex valuse for the Start Address and the Length for the boot
image or else all you have done will not work.

image or else all you have done will not work.
==> To find out what to enter on the Start Address,
first, find the scatter file that you have created before and edit/open it
using Notepad ++ editor. Enter the hex code of BOOTIMG, in
my case, my hex code is 0xf88000.

Find the row for bootimg and you’ll notice that it has the
same start address “0000F88000” from what we have from the scatter
file above “0xf8800” (you’ll see that the first 4 zeroes are replaced
by “0x”).
same start address “0000F88000” from what we have from the scatter
file above “0xf8800” (you’ll see that the first 4 zeroes are replaced
by “0x”).
Now to get the Length, length is equal to the Size but
what we will enter is the significant digits only. In my case, since the size
is 0000600000, the significant digit is 600000 and we have to
replace the first 4 zeroes with “0x”, so what we will enter in the
Length from the SP Flash Tool is 0x600000

Length from the SP Flash Tool is 0x600000
Now, in my case, it will look like this:
==> Make sure that the Start Address and Length has the same
count or number of characters, otherwise, add a zero. For example you have a
start address of 0x1234567 and you have a length of 0x123456,
since they are not the same in count, you have to add zero on the length, so the
length now will be 0x0123456. We have to add zero just in order to have
the same character count.

If you are done getting the hex values, press OK.
SETTING FOR RECOVERY IMG
==> Double click on the second N/A, name it as recovery.img
and save it to where you want to store the stock recovery.

==> In my case, my recovery has a Start Address 0x1588000
as you can see from the notepad, and I have the size of 000060000 from the
block info, we will replace the first four zeroes with “0x” to get
the Length, so my Length will be 0x600000.

Since you have got the values, you have to enter it on the SP

Navigate to the location where you have set the files to be store.
In my case, you can see below that I have done it well. The boot image and the
recovery image has the same file size.
