How to Install Custom Recovery on the Lava Xolo Q700
Now that you are rooted on your Xolo Q700, if you are interested in flashing custom ROMs, having a custom recovery is a must and not only can you flash custom ROMs with it, you can also make/restore backups if you are trying out different ROMs and want to go back to something that you had previously liked. The guide below should cover this step and you should have a custom recovery (Carliv’s Touch Recovery v2, in this case) installed very soon!
I. Before You Begin
1. Charge your device to 75% or more before you begin to prevent unwanted shutdowns during the procedure.
2. Back up anything you feel is necessary just in case.
3. You will need to be rooted for this procedure to work. If aren’t already, use our guide to help you.
II. Necessary Downloads
2. CTR_V2_Q700.zip [Download link available under Download section of this post]
III. Installing Custom Recovery on the Xolo Q700
1. Extract CTR_V2_Q700.zip to a folder on your desktop. You should end up with a file called recovery.img in that extracted folder.
2. Connect your device to your PC and copy recovery.img to your device’s SD card (do not put it into any subfolders, just copy and paste it into the main folder). Also, make sure there are no other .img files in this location and if there are any, delete them.
2. Open up the newly installed Mobileuncle MTK Tools app from your app drawer. Give root access when prompted.
3. Tap on Recovery and you should be provided with a list of .img files on your SD card.
4. Tap on recovery.img to begin the flashing process.
5. Once flashed, reboot your device.
You can now access Carliv’s Touch Recovery by powering off the phone, and pressing the Volume Up + Power keys until you see the recovery screen!
