[GUIDE] [PORT] [ROM] All About Mediatek ROM Porting - xda-developers

No Need of Kernel Source No Need of **ANDROID KITCHEN

Don’t Goo l Galax Andr o – XDA Androi for the

No Need of LINUX... Requirements: * A Brain * Patience * Windows XP/7/8 * 7-Zip * Notepad++ * Bootimg Unpack/Repack Tools for Windows! * Stock ROM * And a Little Respect!! So now Lets Begin... PORTING For Same SoCs ( Ex: MT6572 to MT6572) * Replace these from your Stock ROM to the ROM u want to PORT!! Lets Call it "PORT" FILE LIST FOR REPLACING: *system/vendor *system/usr *system/lib/modules *system/lib/hw *system/lib/libncurses.so *system/etc/firmware *system/etc/vold.fstab *system/etc/vold.fstab.nand *system/etc/bluetooth For Fixing Problems... *system/etc/permissions *system/etc/security *system/etc/audio *system/etc/wifi *system/lib/drm *system/lib/egl *system/lib/soundfx * Now Replace the Stock Boot.img to Port ROM! * Now Open The Port ROM folder and go to METAINF/google/android and open updater-script in Notepad++ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701283

* Do the same for the Stock ROM * Now In the Port ROM's Updater Script, find a line that starts with this... format("....... and only replace the mmcblk0p.. with the stock one! * Do the same for this line... mount("... Example: This is the PORT one!!! format("ext4", "EMM C", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0", "/system"); mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system"); This is the Stock one!! format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system"); mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system"); Now just Replace the "mmcblk0p3" from STOCK to PORT!! It should look like this: format("ext4", "EMM C", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0", "/system"); mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system"); DO NOT REPLACE THE WHOLE LINE! * Now go back to the Folder of Port ROM and You'll see 2 folders & 1 file named -META-INF -system -boot.img * Now Select these three and Click Right Mouse Button and Click on 7-Zip ->> Add to Archive * Now a dialouge box should appear! * Configure the Format like This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701283

Archive format: ZIP Compression Level : Normal Compression M ethod: Deflate Dictoioany Size: 32k Word Size 32 * Now Start Zipping and Push the ZIP to your Memory Card * Go to Recovery >> Install ZIP & Wipe Data Finished!! Now was that so hard?? Its a Really Easy thing to d0!! Now Come to the Hard Part!! Porting From Different SoCs ( Ex: MT6582 to MT7572 ) Read this carefully & apply the way i say! * Take the ROM u want to port & name it PORT! * Take your Stock ROM & Name it Stock * Now Replace These files from Stock to PORT--

*system/vendor *system/usr *system/lib/modules *system/lib/hw *system/lib/libncurses.so *system/etc/firmware *system/etc/vold.fstab *system/etc/vold.fstab.nand *system/etc/bluetooth * Now Open build.prop in notepad++ & Search for this line ro.mediatek.platform=MT65xx Now Replace this (MT65xx) with your CPU!! For Example ro.mediatek.platform=MT6572

* Now Go To META-INF/google/android and open updaterscript in notepad++ * Add this line between the lines of "set_perm" set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/vendor/lib/hw/gralloc.mt65xx.so"); [Replace the mt65xx with your cpu] Example: set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/vendor/lib/hw/gralloc.mt6572.so"); * Now Go back to the Rom folder and Take the boot.img and decompile it with any bootimg-unpack tool! * Now delete the zimage and rename boot.img-ramdisk to PORT-Ramdisk * Now Do the Same for Stock boot.img and open the folder named PORT-ramdisk and copy all the files from PORTramdisk to boot.img-ramdisk of your Stock boot.img * Now Go to boot.img-ramdisk and open init.rc * Now find these lines and replace with your cpu #Create Chip Property on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6582 setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6589 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6589 setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6589

example : #Create Chip Property on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6582 setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6572 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6589 setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6572

* Now Compile your New boot.img and Pack your New ROM and Flash!! Cheers!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701283

First of all, thanks for the great guide! Im on an Alcatel One Touch Fierce OT-7024w MT6589 metropcs. Will this work across chip variations(6589m, 6589t)? Does this work from one phone with the same chipset as another(evolve to fierce)? Is a locked bootloader a problem for this process.
