Just extract the stock kernel and use the twrp ramdisk from apollo lite. Rebuilt recovery image use old kernel image and twrp ramdisk. Flash with spflashtools. If it doesn't work then reflash stock recovery.
Tbh i don't build twrp

I need to say this as well.
Thank you for those who have offered to croudfund me an Apollo. Please don't.
I really don't like things like that.
There's lots of reasons it's not a good idea, from people expecting/demanding things because they have shelled out financially, to me not having time to commit to it, and a whole lot of other reasons. At present my work procludes me from even accessing a desktop pc. I haven't touched the lite source for a few weeks because of that. Yes it's flattering, thank you, but no.
If someone has a stockpile of them, then they can feel free to let me have one. I was interested in an Apollo to see what the Camera was like, but don't do it this way.
I'm happy to help anyone who wants to learn to tweak and compile the code and test their own roms.

I cant get the scatter files( lol 5 different. Even tried to manually install drivers). No pc recognises the phone with mtk tools. Is there any other way to extract the boot recovery file so we could use on sp flash?

Hi, alxz Advice if successfully iron the Apollo with TWRP...(please). If I understand well Fards, the idea is to use the recovery.img(TWRP) used for Lite version and substitute the stock recovery with that in SP Flash tool, keeping untouched the rest of the FW. Am I right?. If successfull, could you be so kind as to put the "modded" fw to let us flash directly without having to make the swap betewwn recoveries? Regards

I was thinking of having a backup. A stock recovery so we could go back to stock and flash vernee zip if we most :-). Well my intentions is to flash twrp and try out xpose modules.

Next thing would be what twrp i should try out. The lite version has 2-3 different. One of them was for MAD 7.0 rom. And were can i find stock recovery img for the device. And does the Twrp have any differences in screen resolution?

Sure, the Backup matter is the priority number one. Have a flashable "start point" where we can return in case everything goes wrong. Is nice to have a home to return to.... Then TWRP and then SU --> Root and then Xposed.... That is my roadmap also, but afraid my knowledge about these matters is null.... Please, confirm if my undeerstanding is correct. English is not my mother language and I feel a liitle bit lost with these matters. Regards (and thank you)
