Remeber!!! All Rom will not work on your device
First of all you need to choose a porting rom of phone with similar spec's as your phone have i.e Processor,Ram,internal Storage,size,Camera and same android version otherwise it will not boot up
Then make two folders one named base and second named port

Question: I have a stock rom of my Samsung Express i437. I have located everything you mention in the System folder but there is nothing named Meta Inf/ in my ROM and no file named "update script" or "update binary". So can you give me some guidance here on what I am supposed to do. All the other folders and files have been located. Where do I find Meta inf/.../update script and Meta inf/.../ update binary?

Can I use this tutorial to port flymeOS to SGS Advance?

status 6 error is due to wrong updater script so edit ur updater script very carefully specialy in writing those mounting lines of run program nd also remove format system line if any !!

Now this Status 0 error is due to update binary file located in meta-inf folder.
To fix this just took out update binary file from any rom which works on ur phone nd then copy it nd paste it in ur port rom's meta-inf folder.
Problem done now u will not get any status 0 ,6,7 error.!!
Nd one more thing this guide is for mediatek smart phones not htc or samsung phones!!

to fix camera.
I assume you use dsixda's kitchen.
Set up working folder for stock rom
Go to advanced > tools for boot.img
> unpack boot.img
Navigate to the folder called Boot-extracted.
> rename it to something else (for now: stock boot)
Set up working folder for port rom.
Go to advanced > unpack boot.img
Do a google search for 'winmerge' > install program (free).
Open winmerge, for left navigate to the 'stock boot' folder, and select init.rc (about 40kb)
For right, navigate to the port 'boot-extracted', and select init.rc (about 40kb)
In winmerge find lines like this
Chmod camera blablabla (on the left pane you will see where there are differences)
Chown camera blablabla
If there are differences in those lines, copy the stock lines, and overwrite the port ones
Save the files (crtl+s)
Navigate to boot extracted folder, you can close winmerge. Copy stock Zimage (from 'stock boot' folder) to port, and overwrite the Zimage there with stock one.
Go back to kitchen, > advanced > tools for boot.img > build new boot image.

Unable to open your site for downloading ROM, could you reupload please.

NOTE: I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKUPING UP THE USRDATA PARTITION AS WELL TO DO THAT USE HEX "0X96B40000" AS THE LENGTH DURING READ BACK IN SP FLASH TOOL
To flash the DASH 5.0 you need to use the Preloader to do it.
STEP 2
Installing the Preloader Driver (READ this section entirely before trying)
Open Device Manager
Start -> Run
Type:
Code:
devmgmt.msc
Press Enter
Turn off the phone until it is completely shut down with nothing plugged in the USB port. You will see the screen go black and shortly afterwards it will vibrate.
With Device Manager open, connect the USB cable to the phone without turning it on.
You will see the MT65XX Preloader appear (see image)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Quickly double click MT65XX Preloader before it disappears, if it disappered, just unplug and plug back in the cable and try again.
Under the Driver tab, click Update Driver, click Browse my computer for driver software.
Using the Browse button find the MTKUSBAll folder you extracted and click on "New inst. win 7&8x64" and click OK
Click Next
If you get the message "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software", just click "Install this driver software anyway"
Click Close
Click Close
After the driver is installed you can unplug the phone.
STEP 3
Uploading the image files to the phone{/B}
WARNING: The BLU-DASH-5.0_141022_BLU-D410a-V27-GENERIC_FOR_SP_FLASH_TOOL.zip file has all of the necessary images but do not flash them unless you trying to recover from a brick.
DO NOT FLASH THE PRELOADER.BIN AS IT MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
THE ONLY FILES I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED ARE boot.img, factory_NONmodified_recovery.img and system.img
Download BLU-DASH-5.0_141022_BLU-D410a-V27-GENERIC_FOR_SP_FLASH_TOOL.zip from here:
http://d-h.st/3L9G
See Step 5
Extract the SP Flash Tool.
Extract the system.img and MT6572_Android_scatter.txt (and/or boot.img and factory_NONmodified_recovery.img, if you wish)
Open the SP Flash Tool
Click the Download tab
Click the Scatter-loading button and select the MT6572_Android_scatter.txt file.
Click the location of ONLY the parition(s) you are going to flash: ANDROID = SYTEM partition (system.img), BOOTIMG = KERNEL (boot.img) and RECOVERY=RECOVERY (factory_NONmodified_recovery.img or custom recovery file)
Select the image file (e.g. system.img or system_rooted.img)
MAKE SURE ALL OTHERS ARE NOT TICKED
Click the Download button.
Plug in the phone or unplug and plug it back in to start flashing the images to the phone.
Note: This can also be done with the battery removed.
Your phone will have root.
STEP 4 - Adding TWRP
First we need to rename the file recovery-from-boot.p found in the /system folder.
Using a File Manager with root permissions rename
Code:
recovery-from-boot.p
to
Code:
recovery-from-boot.bak
OR
From an adb shell, rename the file
Code:
su
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
Now turn off the phone and with SP Flash Tool flash TWRP 2.8.2.0. Download link below.
NOTE: Select only the RECOVERY partition to flash. TWRP themes are supported as well as the Aroma File Manager.
http://d-h.st/aQmt
STEP 5 - Rooting and adding init.d support
Go to http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Download the latest SuperSU.
Go to http://d-h.st/AJQ
Download the init.d support zip file.
Boot to TWRP while connected to a PC with adb tools run the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery[/url]
OR
Hold down the power select Reboot and hold down the volume up button until you see the TWRP logo.
Via the install menu, flash the SuperSU zip and inti.d support zip.
ALL DONE!
THANKS:
[user=631273]@Chainfire[/user] for SuperSU
[user=5119815]@rua1[/user] for MTK Droid Root & Tools and instructions on how to use SP Tools
[user=4478781]@yuweng[/user] for creating the tool to make TWRP for MediaTek devices
[user=912474]@Dees_Troy[/user] for TWRP

I will give a brief explanatoin and will elaborate more when I have the time.
For Root:
Thanks to @Chainfire
I basically mounted the system.img in a Linux OS and copied the files from the SuperSU v2.36 zip file and placed them in their relevant directories added the relevant permissions, etc.
For init.d scripts
Thanks to @alireza7991
See his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287540
I modified the kernel to boot and created a flashable zip that adds busybox to /system/xbin and creates the necessary folders then flashes the modified kernel.
For TWRP:
Thanks to @yuweng
I used Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MTK. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53752834#post53752834
It worked but changed my partition information for some reason even though the size fit my paritition size. I wiped my phone and lost my baseband and recovered it. Posted a new thread on how to do that. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/restore-baseband-mt65xx-devices-t2967949
That is why I posted the image file so no one has to face that problem too. I tested it and it is functioning without any problems.
You can follow yuweng's thread to make it smaller if your partition size is smaller than 6MB for some phones, at a cost of course.

Anyone looking for baseband files can check http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/restore-baseband-mt65xx-devices-t2967949
For anyone wanting to use Link2SD on this, I have created a flashable zip to use with a custom recoveery that adds init.d support, installs Link2SD as a system app and adds a modified mount script that functions properly.
Requires root and a SD card with the second partition formatted as EXT4.

Your phone is a BLU Dash 5.0 D410a and NOT the 5.0+ or 5.0 Studio right?
It sounds like your kernel (boot.img) is not booting the /system partition. Try flashing the /system and recovery partitions only for now and see what happens. Do not flash the boot.img

Thanks for you le answer! Thats right, is a Blu Dash 5.0 D410a, I try on Monday the suggested and post results!!!

Hi again, flashed system and recovery only, stuck on Blu screen again, try wipe and reset cache, stuck on screen Blu,any recomendation??

Added a flashable zip to add init.d and install LInk2SD with a modified mount script to run properly on this phone, BLU DASH 5.0 D420a running V27 Android 4.4.2.

I'm having the same problem as Jorgefar. Mine is on v24 instead of v14 though after the factory update to 4.4.2. I rooted it with kingroot, but I would like to have twrp recovery. I've done everything you instructed him, but mine gets stuck in the bootloop as well. I thought i could just flash the recovery, and did the rename on the recovery file, but that didn't work still had factory recovery. After that I did the entire procedure and got the bootloop.

After installing TWRP you need boot into TWRP before booting into Android and install the latest SuperSU. The install-recovery.sh will replace TWRP with the stock recovery on the first boot if SuperSU is not installed, which renames it.
After flashing TWRP with the Smart Phone Flash Tool, disconnect the cable, press the power button and then hold the volume up button to enter TWRP.

I probably need to redo the steps for a couple of the posts.
Download the TWRP at http://d-h.st/aQmt
Upload it to the phone. Make sure that only recovery is ticked in the Smart Phone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool) and select the file you downloaded. You should be able to figure out the rest based on my instructions.
Flash SuperSU which can be downloaded from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
It will rename the file that would put back the original recovery.
That should be it.

got it working thanks. are their any custom roms for the d410a?

Panasonic Eluga Note (MTK 6753) TWRP and root!

}
I successfully ported TWRP to Panasonic Eluga Note (MTK6753) after a four day effort. Not a dev here. First time doing this.
<TLDR? skip this>
When I started using android in my HTC HD2, every ROM was pre rooted. I took it for granted.
So I get this cheapo MTK and breaking into it is like banging head against a wall!! I was frustrated with the battery drain: Device never sleeps since the last OTA!
So I learnt SP flash tools and downgraded. ( wiped nvram and created another mess in the process- which is a different story. I solved it)
I could spend this effort and time to stop that pesky "Panasonic" bootaudio too. And that's the first thing I deleted after I booted TWRP, even before rooting.
</TLDR? skipped this>
First things first, enable ADB, enable OEM unlock in developer options, and go to bootloader to unlock it <fastboot oem unlock> THIS WILL WIPE DATA!!
Second thing: Backup nvram.img by sp flash readback and learn how to flash it back (search XDA)- Sometimes you can learn from other's mistakes too! I spent a day and half writing back IMEI and WIFI Mac.
Process (if you don't trust me and want to reproduce the steps yourself)
1. Download stock firmware. (google knows)
2. Patch boot.img so that it doesn't overwrite TWRP with stock recovery on each boot (extract by Carliv Image kitchen and hash out the three lines 663, 664 and 665 mentioning "service flash_recovery /system/bin/install-recovery.sh" in init.rc). I created two copies in the same folder (boot.img, and boot-verified.img) and copied scatter into the same folder for flashing. That's what I saw in the firmware folder.
3. Port TWRP using Carliv Image Kitchen method. I downloaded TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/twrp-porter-maker-mediatek-mt67xx-32-t3681861 but didn't use their method. It didn't work. The TWRP for this chip was stated as android N, but worked well.
4. Flash ported TWRP after copying scatter file to the Carliv Imagekitchen output folder and selecting that scatter in SP droid tools. I again created recovery.img and recovery-verified.img. Don't know if its needed that way. You could wait and flash boot and recovery together from the same folder.
5. That's it, you can enter custom recovery now. Get that pesky "panasonic" bootaudio off the system/media folder now! You can stay content after this or proceed to root.
<nandroid backup now, including Nvram and NVdata. Just in case>
6. Download Supersu zip flashable and flash it via TWRP. https://download.chainfire.eu/1113/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip?retrieve_file=1 worked for me.
7. Reboot, check root!
If you're more daredevil,
8. Download Xposed flashable zip SDK23 and flash it. Download Xposed installer and copy it to SDcard too.
9. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip. Reboot, install xposed installer. Reboot again.
You're done!
I'll upload my boot.img and ported TWRP if anyone shows any interest in this.
Cheers!
(Bonus: this phone has built in IPtables support in the kernel! I used to flash custom kernel for this ability in other Stock ROMs. AFfirewall works "out of the box"- after rooting, of course!)
Edit: uploaded my modded boot.img and ported TWRP. find it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sM1BnyBUFN7PfncFcM7vzIet6gKt3G_L/view?usp=sharing
If you want to go the easy route, unzip the folder and flash it with sp flash. You'll be able to boot into recovery and do the other steps for rooting.

Brilliant Work man. I also was sort of in your situation as well . i have a panasonic Eluga A3 (Qmobile Noir E2) in my country. Stock Qmobile rom was horrendous. so i flashed the panasonic rom but hated the boot audio and the bloatware that came with it. so i decided to make a slimmed down version of it and successfully did it by using superr's kitchen. and also using the kitchen i removed the encryption on the boot.img and then patched it using magisk for easy rooting without recovery. when flashed together with the modded system.img and modded boot.img and twrp, i was totally in control of my device.
If you need any help with anything mtk send me a pm
also are you able to access internal storage in twrp or not ??

I can access internal storage in twrp. There's a choice to select the internal storage. Havent backed up to it or anything. But its there. I copied a file into it through TWRP now, and it works. I think its all about the fstab. If you don't get access to internal storage, see for any red errors in TWRP output. I can look into my fstab to see what's relevant.
I have a little hiccup though. Now my network drops (both sim at a time), even during a call. But maybe its because I swapped sim 1 and sim 2. I'll let things settle and see if it will persist. In the meanwhile, I swapped sims back to original.

i wasn't able to access internal storage at first because device was encrypted beforehand. also sim issues might be caused by imei/nvram . check if your device imei matches your imei on the device box.

Stock Qmobile rom was horrendous. so i flashed the panasonic rom but hated the boot audio and the bloatware that came with it. so i decided to make a slimmed down version of it and successfully did it by using superr's kitchen. and also using the kitchen i removed the encryption on the boot.img and then patched it using magisk for easy rooting without recovery. when flashed together with the modded system.img and modded boot.img and twrp, i was totally in control of my device.
If you need any help with anything mtk send me a pm
also are you able to access internal storage in twrp or not ??

Dear sir panasonic eluga note network signal drop many time a day after installing ur ported twrp ..Pls tell me how to resolve signal drop issue..

Really wanna do it but your steps sound way complicated for "non-MTK pro guy". I have that device lying unused. it would be awesome if you could throw a "readme" file in your drive or here with simpler guidance steps like other "TWRP & root installation guide" we have for other phones. Plus You seem like you could port/build a ROM for this device and make substratum friendly. I know it's a big ask & I have a feeling that you like dark UI for that device too . Hoping for the best response.

If you're more daredevil,
8. Download Xposed flashable zip SDK23 and flash it. Download Xposed installer and copy it to SDcard too.
9. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip. Reboot, install xposed installer. Reboot again.
I have a doubt about these two steps
Should i have to flash it twice and have to download two separate file which is one flashable zip and installer. And in the next step 9th which zip file should i flash.
My questions might sound silly but i am asking so because when last time i tried i installed xposed, installed its firmware and then downloaded a module it was cynolockscreen something and applied it. It asked ne to reboot i did but then my phone crashed. Screen was going on and off then i rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset amd since then i haven't done any thing in my phone not even flashed the SuperSU...
Can you please help me with the further steps...

rooting eluga note
can u pls tell me how to root eluga note? i've tried many apps to root it but nothing worked

Download the stock recovery and any TWRP from the internet for your device. Downlaod carliv image kitchen and extract your stock recovery. Copy recovery.img-kernel and “recovery.img-kernel_offset”to any location in your pc. Now take the TWRP for your phone that you download but it's not WORKING. Extract it in the same way using carliv image kitchen. Form this extracted TWRP of your device delete recovery.img-kernel and “recovery.img-kernel_offset” and replace it with the file you copied from your stock recovery in the first step. Then repack this image and flash it. BTW is your bootloader unlocked?

Yes, my bootloader is unlocked (if you mean to ask if i have checked OEM/USB debugging in developer mode), I unlocked it first time i tried to run TWRP.
By "repack this image and FLASH IT", flash it using Odin, right?
My current TWRP is unaccessible

[TUTORIAL] How To Extract Files From a TAR.MD5 Stock ROM (SPH-D710)
I've received a TON of PM's and emails asking how to do this and I've decided to do a write-up for everyone. Now to start off, this does not automatically make you a Super Duper Developer, this does not show you how to make your own TAR ROMs...
forum.xda-developers.com
Open carliv.bat batch file.
Copy your device’s stock ROM’s recovery.img and paste it in the “recovery-resources” named folder that is located inside the unzipped folder.
In the Carliv Image Kitchen window, type in R and press enter. Next, type 1 and hit enter again.
Type 1 to unpack the image file that you downloaded earlier.
If you get a message, “Your image is unpacked in recovery folder”, you have successfully unpacked the image file.
Now open the recovery folder in the Carliv unzipped folder. Look around for a folder named “ramdisk” and other files.
Create a new folder somewhere and name it “stock” (you can name it anything you want). Copy and paste all the contents from the “recovery” folder (ramdisk folder and all 10 other files).
Next, delete the recovery.img file that was left behind on the “recovery-resources” folder before.
Also, delete all the contents in “recovery” folder.
Copy and paste the custom recovery image file, the TWRP that you want to port into the “recovery-resources” folder.
You will need to repeat the same steps as before.
never delete the custom recovery image in the “recovery-resources” folder.
Copy the “recovery.img-kernel” and “recovery.img-kernel_offset” from the stock folder and paste it to the TWRP which you extracted in recovery folder in carliv image kitchen . Overwrite it to replace existing files with the same name.
In the Carliv Image Kitchen window, type 2 and hit the enter key.
A message notifying that the image file was repacked will appear. You can view it on the output folder named “output”. This is the brand new TWRP ported image file.
Copy the newly made image file from the “output” folder and paste it to a new folder. Rename it as you want with any name of your choice. Hope it helps. If you are still stuck I'll do it for you

thx,thx,thx for the support!. I have done the carliv protocol but in the end the new compiled twrp failed in Odon. Maybe the new image converting to ,tar is the culprit? after that i tried to do the method in the video but twarp was 3 seconds visible and then back in bootloop!. i shall DL the magisk 20.3 edition. maybe that makes the difference'I bought this A7 last monday after a HUawei, that has no posibilities whatsoever for twrp or root, but in this Samsung I totally surprised that it, untill now, is so umbeatable, albeit unlocked!

Convert TWRP .img to .tar (for ODIN)[Easy]
Sometimes the latest version of TWRP is in ".img", so some people use an older version instead, which is in .tar, so they can flash it with ODIN. The thing is that the ".tar" version is just the ".img" compressed XD, so I'm going to show you how...
forum.xda-developers.com

i had done this with z7 myself already, but to no avail, but: i began, in a moment of despair, with Odon to try all the .tars i had collected sofar , to flash and when i flashed PBRP (it was not the first time) it worked!!!. after a week the gizmo do have a recovery, that is not stock! Little new prob: By rebooting system he bootloops (for a change!) in bootloader mode.
