Installing a custom recovery on the Walton Primo HM Mini isn’t as useful as it is some other devices, since you won’t be getting anywhere near and many custom ROMs available for this device as you would on some of the others. However, you can install take complete backups using the NANDroid backup tool that comes as the default backup option that is available from the custom recovery. A NANDreoid backup is far greater than any backing up app or tool you have to use on your device without root access. It is possible to take a complete backup of your Android data without root access, but it requires using adb commands.

1. Download the MobileUncle app from the Google Play Store from this link.
2. Install the MobileUncle MTK Tools app on your device.
3. Download the custom recovery from this XDA Developers page here directly to your computer.
4. Rename the recovery file recovery.img.
5. Transfer the custom recovery file over to the root of the internal storage SD card.
6. Open the MobileUncle application on your device and scroll down the list until you see “recovery update” and tap over the same.
7. The MobileUncle app will now flash that custom recovery on your device and you are ready to reboot your device when it’s done.
8. Now every time you go to boot into the recovery mode, it will enter the custom recovery mode where you have additional options available like installing zip files for any future ROMS coming out in your direction.

Now that you have a custom recovery installed on the Walton device, you can boot into that new recovery using the same key commands you did for the stock recovery. However, if the hardware key commands do not work, you can try installing an application like the Quick Boot app. The Quick Boot app is great for booting your device into many modes. The custom recovery mode available from the Quick Boot app only works if you have root access first.
