* Very smooth and fast in operations

Before i proceed, let me give the newbies a background info of what recovery is all about in respct to the android OS

WHAT IS A RECOVERY MODE
A recovery mode is a special "second boot" mode, independent of the normal boot, that you can start into that allows you to troubleshoot or update your device.

Recovery mode lets you re-flash an entirely new operating system, clear out problematic cache partitions, and can "factory reset" your device, clearing out non-system data. The recovery can also let you back up and restore your Android installation. As if that wasn't enough, the recovery mode often will allow you to access your device from your computer via adb.

The recovery mode uses an interface that may require you to use the volume keys or other buttons to choose options. More modern versions, however, have touch-screen interfaces that allow you to simply select what you want with your finger.

Although you can manually interact with the recovery mode, you can also have the system restart into recovery mode and automatically install updates from an app that supports your recovery such as Goo Manager or Rom Manager (and some versions of CyanogenMod have auto-update feature found in the Settings as well.)

Stock recovery mode
This is the recovery mode that comes with your new device. It is also known as the default recovery mode, it is how ever very limited in terms of functionality. You cannot perform advance functions or hacks with the stock recovery, that is why hackers strives very hard to replace this very recovery with a custom/modified recovery.

custom recovery mode (cmw)
ClockworkMod, abbreviated as CWM, is a popular custom recovery for Android phones and tablets developed by Koushik Dutta (Koush) – a well-known name in the Android development community. ClockworkMod recovery allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery, and is one of the most common ways used to gain root access, back up device data, install custom ROMs, kernels, themes & mods, and more.

recovery image (recovery.img)
This is an image file on the android device that enables it to boot into recovery mode. This is the image we flash to our device when we want cwm recovery, so I am going to be referring to it as recovery.img for the rest of this write up.

Installing ClockworkMod recovery
MTK devices have no ready made cwm recoveries, unlike the likes of samsung, htc and other popular android devices.But it is possible to port existing recovery images for mtk android devices Tecno N7 inclusive.

There are 2 methods of installing/flashing cwm recovery on the N7
1. sp flash tool (PC) no root needed

2. Mobile uncle (NO PC) root needed.

Run MobileUncle MTK Tools.

Select "Recovery Update" in the menu.

Flash the CWMR image that you've placed on your SD card.
