the only thing i am missing is a fastboot driver for the nova 2, where can i get it from ?
edit: managed to get the adb & fastboot driver to work, just waiting for someones reply to give it a go
edit2: it fails because I cant unpack the firmware (upx file) , getting the recovery.img directly from the device in edl mode isnt possible. i have no clue ..

You're on the right track. Unfortunately because the upx is encrypted, the only way to get the recovery and boot images are through EDL. I believe your device uses the same chipset, so you should be able to use the tools linked in reply #15 to this thread.
You'd get the images by 'emmcdl.exe -p COM7 ***(or your COM port here) -f prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn -d boot -o boot.img'
I don't know how to get your device in EDL mode, but they sell special cables to force a device into EDL mode.
