[Tutorial] Backup MTK6592, MTK6589, MTK6577 and all MTK Phones

If users are having trouble using flashtools or mtk droid tools,
why don't they make a backup using CWM?

Generally speaking, getting SP Flashtools or MTK Droid Tools properly working are a prerequisite to getting CWM onto the phone. Yes, you can flash with Mobile Uncle but you would need to be rooted first. Often the CWM is required to root if the quick roots don't work out.

Also, a CWM backup is entirely different than a Droid Tool / SP Flash backup. For example, if you flashed a ROM and the phone was bricked to the point that you couldn't get into recovery and there was no SP Flash Tool ROM available for your phone on the net...You would more or less be screwed.

It depends on an individual user's current situation (are they rooted yet, do they have CWM made and flashed yet, what type of backup do they need... etc...)
