Custom recovery for Q10 Pro
« on: December 05, 2020, 09:20:09 PM »
Hello everybody
I have just got my Q10 Pro recently.
I managed to root it via lan using the method post in this forum.
Does anyone know how i can install a custom recovery?

Regards

Hi @pcristi

I guess i made the most foolish mistake ever: i tried to install a custom recovery, it failed. But then i realized that i cannot reboot into recovery or perform a factory reset any more. After several attempts to install a firmware, the device is bricked. It hangs on the HiMedia logo and reboots every 2 minutes.
Are there any way to reflash the stock recovery - maybe via adb?
Could you please help on this?
Thanks

First try to reinstall  HMD-2.1.4 2019-09-11 with normal recovery process
Small USB 8GB FAT32/NTFS

If you rely successfully alter recovery then try:
Extract bootargs.img, fastboot.img, recovery.img from update.zip
Rename:
     - bootargs.img -> bootargs.bin
     - fastboot.img  -> fastboot.bin
     - recovery.img == recovery.img
     - update.zip    == update.zip
- Follow process described here
