Can I use CWM recovery made for KitKat in Lollipop? I was already using CWM on kitkat until I officially updated my Micronax Unite 2 A106 (MT6582) to lollipop. But when I tried to use the same recovery made for kitkat in lollipop, it did not work. Why does that happen? Does that mean I can't use recovery made for kitkat in lollipop?
According to xda wiki "The recovery is completely independent of the Android system". Does it mean that, No matter which version of Android I have, the recovery of any version should work. If recovery is independent of android then why does that recovery not working. I am confused.
I had a similar issue in the past, it could be that Lollipop is preventing the recovery from root access, it is disabled by default.

Go to settings -> developer options -> root access. Enable the option for apps &amp; adb.

If you can't see the developer options go to settings -> about phone. Then tap on the build number section 10 times (it works as a hidden button)
