I'll try.

UPD. And even such a chip, when choosing to install the recovery, writes<waiting for device>supposedly waiting for the device, but nothing else happens.
old version, the latest 1.6.0

There is no CWM installer, there is only root-anrute, lok and unlock.

UPD. Hmm ... stuffed thisrevert recovery disabler, so far the recovery plows.

Tried and 5 and 6 points, does not sew.
Only via fast boot, and only with the use of the patch revert recovery disabler, 6.0.2.3 works
