Alcatel Fierce 2 Sideload Backup Flashify ??



Hello

Long story short.

I rooted my Alcatel one touch Fierce 2 with Kingroot.
I swapped out the KingUser with Supersu.
I moved supersu to the system with system app mover
I used flasify to backup my kernel and my current recovery.

I test flashify today to restore my current recovery.
It worked. It did something and rebooted my phone into recovery mode.
same as power and volume up
i did select in recovery mode wipe data/factory reset
It worked different this time.
Instead of wiping data and cache partition and then loading factory backup......

My screen said
data wipe complete
cache wipe complete
and then it was finished.
it didnt continue to reload factory and reboot like before.
I selected Reboot Now.
Took a min but my phone booted back up with the flashify backup installed.
I Think it looks that way anyhow. I need to do some more test.

So heres the questions i have. and if you can answer or point me to the correct threads thanks in advance.

I have the sideload option on this phone.
My ADB works correctly and ADB Devices shows "Sideload" with my phone connected in sideload mode.
This is good. It means i can recover using ADB and sideload.

But i need a good file to actually sideload.
So how do i create a backup of my phone i can use for sideload.
Can i use the flashify boot.img and recovery.img to do that somehow.

The good thing is currently if i run system restore it works and i still have root when it comes back up.
The good thing is as long as i can run flashify i can reload my phone backups.
flashify is good cause it dont need unlocked bootloader to flash phone only root.

The bad things.

This phones bootloader is locked.
Because of that I dont think you can load CWM or TWRP.
If i fry the android system and cant run flashify how do i load my backups.

As long as i can get the phone to boot in recovery and able to use Sideload i can make ADB Sideload connection and somehow recover.

Cant we also use sideload to install CWM on this phone.
I sure wish it had CWM,
