HOW TO MAKE CWM FOR MTK DEVICES (Tecno, infinix, gionee e.t.c)

CWM is a custom recovery that allows you to perform certain operations restricted by the stock recovery. It allows you to backup and perform special tricks just like i discussed in this post here . Mtk devices are devices running Mediatek chips. It is mostly run by chinese devices which offer low-budget and pocket friendly devices which include Tecno, Infinix, Innjoo, Gionee e.t.c.

NB: This method does not work on Android 5.0 and later devices.
TOOLS
Before we begin, you will need to download the following:
=> ADB Drivers - I would recommend installing PDA net as it installs any adb driver required. Download it here
=> Mtk Droid Tools - Download MTK Droid Tools here

    mtk

    PROCEDURES
    => Install PDA Net on your PC and follow the procedures it prompts.
    => Put your phone in USB Debug Mode and Connect it to your PC
    => Start MtkDroid tools and wait for it to detect your device

      cwm 2

      => The yellow logo at the bottom left corner indicates that your device is rooted, so click the root button and wait until the yellow logo changes to green. (If nothing happens after five minutes close the application and start it all over again and repeat)

      => Now, click on the root, backup and recovery tab, then select To use boot from phone and then click Recovery and Boot . A dialog box would appear and prompt To make CWM recovery automatically , select yes

      => The tool will then create CWM and then another prompt would pop up and ask, Install created Recovery to Phone? , click yes
      cwm4

      => Finally the tool will ask to reboot to recovery mode, click yes and the device will boot to CWM recovery and it can be seen that installation was successful

      cwm
