[ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR DUMMIES] PORT MIUI ROM TO ANY MEDIATEK (MT65XX) DEVICES

NOW EVERYONE BECOME A PORTER. I CAN'T WRITE A MORE SIMPLEST TUTORIAL THAN THIS. HAPPY PORTING!!!

Requirements: Notepad++ 7zip Stock ROM (Original Firmware of your device) Port Rom (MIUI ROM you want to port to your device) Android kitchen (Optional) How to choose a miui rom for porting? Check the miui rom you choose is similar to your Chipset (If your device is MT6589 choose an miui rom of a same MT6589 device) Display (If your device is QHD choose a QHD, if your device is HD choose QHD or HD, if FHD choose QHD, HD or FHD MIUI ROM) Suggesstion for port rom selection MT6589 QHD (540 x 960) or small screen device - use this rom MT6589 HD (720p) screen - use this rom MT6589 FHD (1080p) screen - use this rom MT6582 - use this rom or this MT6592 - use this rom  Choose a rom which is updated regularly.

Copy/replace the necessary files from Stock rom to port ROM open stock ROM and port rom in separate window. Delete the folder "firmware" folder from port ROM \system\etc" & Copy "firmware" folderfrom " Stock\system\etc" to "port ROM\system\etc" Copy all files from "\system\lib\HW" and replace to "port ROM\system\lib\HW" Replace libcamalgo.so and libcameracustom.so files from" \system\lib\" and replace to " port ROM \system\lib\" Replace mtk_stp_wmt.ko file from "Stock\system\lib\modules" and replace to "port rom\system\lib\modules" Replace boot.img from stock to port.

Change necessary lines from updater-script and build.prop In updater-script Open updater-script using notepad++ from "port ROM \META-INF\com\google\android" Remove whole lines contain assert word at the beginning of the file like this line  assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "cancro" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cancro"); Verify /system should be mounted in "/dev/block/mmcblk0pS" & /data should be mounted in "/dev/block/mmcblk0pD" What is S and D? S – System Mount Point D – Data Mount Point To know these mount point values - Open MTK Droid Tool after connecting your phone to PC. - Open Block Maps. - Check these lines. Change accordingly these lines in updater-script format("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0"); mount("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system"); mount("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/data"); In build.prop buid.prop (founder under /system folder) you can left it as it is or if you can compare with STOCK ROM change below mentioned lines ro.product.model= ro.product.brand= ro.product.name= ro.product.board= ro.product.locale.language=en ro.product.locale.region=US

FLASHABLE ROM ZIP MAKING: Select “Data (If present), META-INF, System folders and boot.img” Right Click and 7Zip- > add to Archive -> Select zip and compression Method “Store” Make a zip and Flash it. DONE !!!

OPTIONAL STEP: (If phone is in bootloop) Install Andriod Kitchen to your windows/Linux Refer :- ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 )  - Rename port rom as WORKING_somename (important) and place it in Android-Kitchen folder. Run Android Kitchen and 1, select "0" and "12" and "w" [it will extract boot.img from port ROM to Kitchen\BOOT-EXTRACTED ] 2, Now select "a" and then copy the boot.img from "stock rom" to"Kitchen\bootimg_mmddyy_hhmmss" 3, copy zimgage from "Android Kitchen\bootimg_mmddyy_hhmmss" & paste to "AndroidKitchen\BOOT-EXTRACTED" 4, compare the init.rc file inside extracted boot.img and find (ctrl+F)“cam”. Copy and replace lines related to camera from stock boot.img to port ROM boot.img. 5, now select "b" option in andriod kitchen [it will build boot.img from BOOT-EXTRACTED in to WORKING folder] 6, Then zip the whole and flash. Here is a small video tutorial for this optional step.

BUG FIXING After you able to boot into MIUI, you have to check for bugs. Here is few most encountered bugs after porting and their solutions. (If you get any more bugs and solutions please let me know. I will add them here. It will be helpful for all.) 1.
