Building recovery from source is very difficult. sm7102 is same to sm-g7105 so both recovery. Img should be unpacked and i don't know which files should be replaced.
So developers who port recovery,their help is needed.

I repacked a recovery and changed some file, and repacked and finally the custom recovery .img compressed in tar.md5 file and reflashed by odin, but it dosnt work . i think i have to learn more about files in there, but it's not easy to learn by myself.

you use this tool http://boot-repacker.blogspot.com/, first you put a stock recovery.img in one directory or a file, and you unpack the recovery with the the boot recovery repacker , in the the file you will find a ramdisk and kernel images, into ramdisk file u will find all files that u have change. after that changing files y have to rapack the recovery, dont forget that the tool boot recovery repacker must be always open, dont close it. after repacking the edited recovery , u can compress this recovery and tar file and add md5 with an other tool md5 tool packager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2.

This tool is for mtk devices and it does'nt repacks recovery correctly. You have to check every tool by unpacking stock recovery.img and repack as it is make no changes then flash and check that recovery boots or not, if it boots it means pack/unpack tool is ok.

Flash back the boot file. Download HERE both boot.img JB and KK. Use fastboot to flash.
I use TWRP 2.8.6.0.

can i flash boot file using twrp
and after flash boot.img i will flash stock recovery then also it show black screen or not????
TWRP cant flash img files. You must use fastboot to ensure that all the blocks of the img go to the correct partition. Flashify or Flashr apps are ok too.
After flashing the boot img, flash stock recovery also.
If you do that, there will no reason for a black screen... unless something is going on.

You can just flash image through twrp you know. It is better to flash image than zip.

Only .img & zip can be flashed through twrp.
ZImage doesn't have any extension to be flashed by twrp.
You need to turn Zimage in to boot.img.
On XDA there are several threads teaching how to do it.
