Pls make sure you have the correct 4-in-1 Combo Chip before installing...
Having said that, pls pls make a nandroid backup first before installing it as it replace the boot.img & system partition... :fingers-crossed: If you don't like it then you can any time roll it back via nandroid restore...
Please also make sure you have 100% the same device or you will end up like them here ! ( That is including me... No worries, TP has been identified here )
Its very unique for Ulefone Star N9776 that comes with a plastic perspex holder for the device... It also has the Ulefone label at the bottom of this holder...

Mediatek MT6575 Star N9776
Added on Feb 14, 2013 - Notice
Just did some thread following up on china.iphone.ru...
it turns out that there are emergence of cheaper version of N9776 & i thought to myself how the price dropped so fast & it turns out that it is indeed the cheaper version MT6575...
MT6575 is Pin-to-pin compatible with MT6577 so some clever manufacturer instead of upgrading, they are downgrading N9776... :laugh:
So pls make sure & don't just flash blindly, this JB ROM update is only for MT6577...

Yes, i can switch on GPS, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi & it did connect... Very stable no FC while i tested it... :fingers-crossed:
However, i didn't do a 100% test on it as i switch back to my own ported Lewa OS, love the Lewa ui better than JB...
AFAIK, there are 2 version of hardware for N9776, ov5647 that uses MT6620 & 9p017 uses 6628, which hardware do you have
As said, this update is directly cook without adding any sauce or spice & i believe it works better on 6628 since its from 6628 ROM...

Thank you for answer. It's true, ROM is stable and fast but that damn wifi. My friend bought this phone in January 2013 so it should be with newer hardware. Hardware version number can be found in Engineering menu right? I'll check it.
Do you know anything about kernel source codes for MTK6577? I can't find any. :crying:

Only Alcatel publish their MT65xx source code (ICS not JB) but i'm afraid it might not be compatible for use on our N9776... :fingers-crossed:
AFAIK, OT_997D_20121228.tar.xz is one of the MT6577, rest you have to google for it...
@kumar abhishek & guys
AFAIK, boot.img is device specific & it contains kernel & its meant for N9776 so it would not boot on MMX A110... :fingers-crossed:
Tried porting JB ROM to my Lenovo A789 since last year, non booted up so you guys can forget about it... Sorry if it sound disappointing... :laugh:
Even latest LeWa_ROM_AMOI_N820_JB doesn't boot on N9776 JB boot.img but it does show logcat activities & died...
Does anyone else have problem with screen when in call? Mine gets flashing and not touchable until call ends..
Hi, you need to recalibrate the light sensor, under settings, display, als_ps calibration. place your finger over the sensor at the top to the right of the speaker and hit calibrate. hope this helps.
On a different note, does anyone know how to repartition the nand so as to ditch the internal SD? The old ways don't work....
How do you feel the phone with jelly bean? Isn't it slow cause of the small RAM? Or it's better than ICS?

No, it feels a lot smoother to me. camera is definately better. battery life a lot better also. no more problems with ram than i had on ics. However, dont like the fact that you have two signal bars, whereas in ics if sim2 was missing it would hide the second signal meter. it was an arse to root and i cant seem to repartition it!

This Rom isn't rooted? How did you root it? I root any mtk6577 ics or jelly bean phone with root by binary or zhuodashi.
ICS hid the second signal meter if no sim was inserted on the N9776.
Binary ect doesn't work, you have to cook cwm recovery and flash that way. there is a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764

For detail specific on MT6577 SoC, refer to this NEW Thread by Avenger4droid
All MT65xx android phones are plagued by the same problem, No Custom ROMs & there are just too many models out there...
DEVs that are developing custom rom for it are only a handful. If you have the same model as these DEV then you are very lucky indeed to get cwmr & custom roms from them. But what about those hundreds if not thousands of MT65xx out there ?
No worries, you can port any Custom ROMs to your device quite easily using Master Shifu dsixda's Android Kitchen....

Links for that is below my signature... Even though they are for MT6573, some of them are still relevant... Many have successfully ported numerous of MT6573/ 75/ 77 custom/ stock ROMs out of it....
Full Credits & Special Thanks to Master Shifu dsixda for making such a Super Easy to use & Fabulous Android Kitchen...
Below is what i found out when porting ROM, you may need to patch the following below from your stock ROM for it to work...
modem.img - SIM1/ 2 not working
libcameracustom.so - Camera no auto-focus
mtk_stp_wmt - Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth can't switch on
Generic.kl - Home key doesn't work
So here is my quick & easy patching tut for porting Lewa OS to MT6577 based Ulefone Star N9776. Everything works except for FM radio... Added on May 06 2013 - Hmm, it seems many never follow the whole thread & begin porting using this tut... Read this post here & here first, rest of the procedure is same... Thanks to fellow xda members that has contributed to this thread...
Another one here for Porting Master Shifu bgcngm's V970 Custom ROM to Lenovo A789...
Everything is working on this one...
Recently, i get just too many PMs regarding ROM porting & i don't know everything... :laugh:
So i'm starting this thread & hopefully to get more involvement from fellow xda members to share their experiences as what are the other files needs to be patched to get it fully working...
Pls include...
1. Name of your device
2. ROM that you ported from
3. What are the things that is not working initially
4. What are the file names & location to patch it
Cheers...

Added on Mar 31, 2013 - Patching MT6628 ROM to work on MT6620 & vice-versa
Thanks to kumar abhishek for letting me know that it is possible to patch MT6628 to MT6620, i found out Star N9770 which is from the same company as my Star N9776, some Chinese manage to patch it, everything works & this info found out by s_bd on china-iphone so i use that as base to find out which file is the culprit...
Below is what i found out, need only these few files (patch from stock to ported ROM) & everything works...
This is of course minimum patching because its from the same manufacturer...
FMradio
system/etc/firmware/mt6620_patch_e3_hdr.bin
system/etc/firmware/mt6620_patch_e6_hdr.bin-> If yours is MT6628, you'll need to patch all mt6628_fm_*_*.bin too
system/etc/firmware/WMT.CFG-> This is the antenna cfg, without this, FMradio cannot receive clearly
system/lib/modules/mtk_fm_drv.ko
system/lib/libfmcust.so
Wi-Fi & BT
system/lib/modules/mtk_stp_wmt.ko
system/lib/modules/mtk_wmt_wifi.ko -> After patching, both works & can be individually switch on/ off
system/lib/libbluetooth_mtk.so
system/lib/libbluetoothem_mtk.so -> MTK Engineering will show MT6628 if not patch...
system/etc/firmware -> if yours is MT6628, you'll need to patch all WIFI_RAM_CODE_* too
GPS
system/xbin/libmnlp -> This culprit file is the GPS. Took me the longest time to find out
Found out recent for porting Lenovo s890 (MT6628 to my MT6620), some apps at system/vendor/operator/ is blocking GPS so just delete all apps & use MTK Engineering mode to confirmed it... :fingers-crossed:
build.prop
fmradio.driver.chip=1 -> if yours is MT6628 then change it to 3
mediatek.wlan.chip=MT6620 -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8
mediatek.wlan.module.postfix=_mt6620 -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8
updater-script
symlink("wlan_mt6620.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko"); -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8
Happy Porting...

Added on April 02, 2013 - Camera patch for Lewa ROM
If your Lewa cam is not working in spite of all the known patching methods then refer to here...
For patching Lewa Lenovo A60 cam auto-focus you'll need the following below from your Stock base ROM patch to Lewa & auto-focus will work...

system/lib/libcameracustom.so

Happy Porting LeWa ROM...
-------------------------------
Hmm, it seems many are having trouble with this LeWa Porting tool...
Upon checking Master Shifu Michfood's Russian thread, found out that the below must be met or this tool will fail to operate...
Requirement on your MTK devices -> Root access to ADB
The default.prop at boot.img should be as below...
Code:
ro.secure=[COLOR="Blue"][B]0[/B][/COLOR]
ro.debuggable=[COLOR="blue"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]
persist.service.adb.enable=[COLOR="blue"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]
Use Master Shifu's Repack Utils, make the changes, re-download boot.img via SPFT then only use this tool again...
This tool operates with your device fully booted up, not at CWM or fastboot...
Extract this tool to your Desktop otherwise disable UAC if you use this program at other folder or it will not work properly...

Added on June 24, 2013 - MTK FirmwareAdapter Tool
Just found out that Russian Master Shifu back37 has shared his brand new ROM porting tool here...
With this tool, ROM porting on MTK devices is a breeze but as i always says always make a backup copy first via CWM/ TWRP before starting always or you might end up here...
Added on May 5, 2014
Just found out that Master Shifu has just started his thread here . . . :good:

Added on July 01, 2013 - ANDROID_firmware_tool_v2.1 for MTK devices
This is another great app by Russian Master Shifu Michfood for modding apps, framework, deodex; great for ROM Cooker AKA the MTK Android Kitchen...
You can even use its Wireless ADB app to avoid constant USB charging that might spoil your battery in the long run...
Master Shifu told me its hard for him to maintain several threads so you gotta ask all your questions there...
To change the language to English refer to below...
v2.3 is a Donationware now, if you wanna try out then download this full older version here... if you find it useful then upgrade to V.2.3 & support Master Shifu Michfood work...

All MT65xx android phones are plagued by the same problem, No Custom ROMs & there are just too many models out there...
DEVs that are developing custom rom for it are only a handful. If you have the same model as these DEV then you are very lucky indeed to get cwmr & custom roms from them. But what about those hundreds if not thousands of MT65xx out there ?
No worries, you can port any Custom ROMs to your device quite easily using Master Shifu dsixda's Android Kitchen....
Links for that is below my signature...
Below is what i found out when porting ROM, you may need the following below from your stock ROM for it to work...
modem.img - SIM1/ 2 not working
libcameracustom.so - Camera no auto-focus
mtk_stp_wmt - Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth can't switch on
Generic.kl - Home key doesn't work
So here is my quick & dirty patching tut for porting Lewa OS to MT6577 based Ulefone Star N9776. Everything works except for FM radio...
Recently, i get just too many PMs regarding ROM porting & i don't know everything... :laugh:
So i'm starting this thread & hopefully to get more fellow xda member contributions to share their experience as what other files need to be patched to get it fully working...
Cheers...

Will be helpful for many!
I too joined the MT6577 community with the Micromax A110 (Canvas 2) !! No probs so far!
Yeoh Bro, you make the right choice ! There has been alot of development for MMX A110... :good: So many custom ROMs so little time... :laugh:
Re: [TUT] MT65xx ROM Porting
Thats really gud nd helpful. Good going dude:thumbup:
master
hey master mind if you add these..
and i like your idea for consolidating everything about MT65xx devices i thinks its a good idea we can create a huge community with this.
maybe we should request for a MT6577 device to be added since many phones use this platform. and its not that hard to port roms from other MT65xx devices.
1 Device: KATA i1
2 ROM ported: LeWa OS from Zopo ZP900
3 Camera, FM radio, 3G Data not working
4
FM radio fix and Camera Fix
i did was i extracted the PORT ROM and STOCK ROM to any folder then searched for the thing that didn't work. eg. CAMERA
then i copied all the files that has camera in it from stock and overwritten the ones in port.
(i also deleted the extra files the STOCK didn't have, don't know what happens if you don't delete the extra ones, but since your reverting to stock just use all of the stock ones IMO)
here it goes
For CAMERA - "can't connect to Camera"
copy these from stock ROM to port ROM
\system\lib\hw\camera.default.so --- (if you have two files like camera.goldfish.so delete this the one with the goldfish)
\system\lib\libcamera_client.so
\system\lib\libcameracustom.so
\system\lib\libcameraprofile.so
\system\lib\libcameraservice.so
you can copy the stock camera.apk if you want but not necessary
now for FM Radio
\system\lib\libaudio.a2dp.default.so
\system\lib\libaudio.primary.default.so
\system\lib\libaudiocompensationfilter.so
\system\lib\libaudiocustparam.so
\system\lib\libaudioeffect_jni.so
\system\lib\libaudioflinger.so
\system\lib\libaudiosetting.so
\system\lib\libfmar1000.so
\system\lib\libfmcust.so
\system\lib\libfmjni.so
\system\lib\libfmmt6616.so
\system\lib\libfmmt6620.so
\system\lib\libfmmt6626.so
\system\lib\libfmmt6628.so
you can also copy the stock fmradio.apk if you want but not necessary
for the 3G data refer to master yuwengs post #1.
so based on my experience i think this is also applicable with other hardware problems. not all, maybe some hehe
success!! :highfive:
hope this helps!
credits to master yuweng for helping me finish my lewa rom port. dsixda for kitchen and lewa os team for their great rom.
Hi master..
I would like to ask if you can port this rom LeWa_s3_mt6575 rom ( cloned i9300 ) to work on mt6515 19300?
No one can port ROMs from another device to another device without physically having the actual device in hand, thats why you have to DIY...
Ok, guess i'll just provide a simple How-to for any ROM at all, if it doesn't boot then its best to move on & find one that boots... :laugh: Don't waste your time & effort to make it boot...
For porting Lewa, look at here...AFAIK, Lenovo A750, P700, Jiayu G2 are some of the MT6575, rest you have to google for it... Use my tut for guide line...
i myself end up downloaded all MT6577 Lewa ROM & out of 12 Lewa ROM 6# can boot...
Now that i recall, a fellow xda member had success in porting Lewa to his MT6575 by using Zopo100 ported Lewa...According to him, no need much patching & it just boot up on first try... :good: In fact, he has success in porting Zopo100 MIUI to his MT6575 too...
And also yours is a MT6515 not MT6575... :fingers-crossed:

Are you reading my mind yuweng :laugh:
I noticed lewa are now supporting the Newman N1 & Zopo zt900 so I was searching for info and here you are again one step ahead :good:
BTW My brother is very happy with the A9300 MTK6575 so I may not see that phone back for a while :laugh:
So my friend here are some very basic questions about Lewa I hope you can help me with while I read the tuts :good:
1. Are the stable base roms from their site English language or just Chinese language?
2. Do their Roms support google apps & google-play (market) or do we have to install it or is this a totally independent OS from google?
3. Will we lose root, busybox and/or su flashing lewa?
4. The Zopo zt900 ROM is not a lot different from the zp300+ so what changes would I have to make to port it to my zp300+(Screen size and home buttons are different soft on zp300+ Hard on zp900)
5. And lastly can I still keep my beloved TWRP recovery and port Lewa
Short answers will do yuweng I will keep googling for the info but would trust your first hand experiance over anything I get of google

4. Try & see if it boot then only move on to solve problems... :fingers-crossed:

it takes a little bit of luck too when it comes to ROM porting, eg : i've downloaded earlier all five Lewa ROM that doesn't boot then when i download all -> 6 of it booted out of 12...

Bro, its already explained at the OP & you ask again...
Since there are so many development on MMX A110 you can try & extract out mtk_stp_wmt.ko from /system/lib/modules/ from either one of the ROM below & copy it over to your ported ROM, restart & it should work... :fingers-crossed:
1. MMX A110 V1
2. MMX A110 V2
3. Mobistel Cynus T2 JB
4. DrBhokali
5. JMP Xtreme
6. AMOI N820/N821 JELLYBEAN official 4.1.1
if it doesn't work then move on to the next one & when everything fail then you can use boybakat method & copy everything to over & start over with the above list...
hey @@ yuweng @@ can you help me for porting JB on my A90s same as A110 only screen size is different......... A90s has HDPI ( 480x800 ) and A110 have QHD (640x960) if m not wrong.........can u help me for porting Jelly Bean ROM in my Devices.........!! i already make ROM for my device which are not JB its simple stock ROM which are themed and customized for better use..... !!
i need JB on my A90s.....plz help...
Yeoh Bro, as said earlier, JB ROM needs JB boot.img from your device & if you already have JB boot.img then why port other JB to your device...
But wait, haha, on the MMX A110 thread, they have ported many JB ROM to their device with the recent release of JB boot.img for their device here... :laugh:
So pray hard that A90s release JB ROM update or you couldn't port all those JB ROMs to your device... :fingers-crossed:
----------------------------------
Fuel by the interest from MMX A110 xda members to port JB, i too started try out those ROMs there & to my surprise many do boots up however patching Wi-Fi, Blueetooth, Camera & etc is required....

This is a Custom Hardware testing mode by Xolo which is used by Xolo service centre employees to debug any issues in hardware.
Fastboot Mode: To enter this mode, hold down VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN together and then insert USB cable (plugged in your PC) and your phone will automatically startup and will be in fastboot mode (There will be a Xolo Logo on the screen). We're lucky to have fastboot mode in our device unlike any custom protocol like ODIN in Samsung.

FAQs
Can we get CyanogenMod or any custom firmware (source-built)?
NO. As of yet, Xolo has not released kernel source code of Q1000 Opus2 which is a must to get source-built ROMs on our device. I have sent a request to Xolo-Care to provide kernel source code but they don't care to reply. The history says that Xolo has been unfavorable to developers (don't provide kernel source).
Is our Stock ROM built on AOSP open-master?
NO. Xolo has used CAF kernel and added a lot of custom apps (to system partition) which is of course, not AOSP.
Can we use Xposed Modules?
YES. Our Stock ROM is close to AOSP (no heavy themeing like Samsung Touchwiz), so yes.
Which GPU and Chipset are we running?
Xolo (on it's website) advertises that our device has Adreno 302 GPU but I'm pretty confused of SoC on this device because apps like: CPU-Z show that we are running Adreno 305 unlike advertised. Moreover, pdadb specs and some apps like: Antutu CPU master show that we are running on msm8212 but when I see the build.prop, it's ro.build.platform=msm8610. What I believe is, our device is an msm8610 with an exceptionally new range of quad-cores (exceptionally because msm8610 is dual-core) with an Adreno 305 GPU like some of new mid-range HTC devices come with.
Where's KitKat update?
It may be very soon that we'll be getting KitKat update because its predecessor: Xolo Q1000 Opus already got KitKat (which was originally launched with Android 4.2 JellyBean). We have much wider scope for updates now as our device comes with android 4.3 out of the box and is newly launched (in July 2014).

Hi All,
While surfing on internet i came across "PPXDEV Project Pure Xperia" . This is lollipop based rom for mt6589 devices.
As per original developer this is the first rom which is ported from mt6577 devices.
If this is the true Lollipop rom, can any of developers use this thread and finally port Lollipop to our device.

Greetings From EgyptWell I Would like to take this as a big step in N900 Note 3 Development AS I Started Working on the project For 2 Weeks And i made it boot to boot screen after many suffering and many studies about exynos note 3 processor and goophone i6 Processor MTK Chipset
Glad we got Aosp base which is CM12/CM12.1 And Luckily I Found a 32bit Arm Version ARMV7 Of Goophone IOS Roms Which based on android phones
Android Version of rom is 5.1 and OUR CM IS Android 5.1 Too So I Came here asking for backup in development of this rom and port of it
Help That I Need is :
Kernel Experts
adb logcaters
Postive People
AOSP Special People that can build custom frimwares like 4.4.2 AOSP For Note 3 (IF This People Available We Would Skip alot a head and complie it on i6 Stable Rom 4.4.2)

i need help to know what makes the rom bootloop although all porting i done is 100% correct
@omarilzz
Hello i appreciate ur Hardwork :good:
But the reason for bootloop
Maybe, it is the The Bootloader...
You need to revert back to the old bootloader if u want to use 4.4.2 based roms...
The bootloader was updated to 5.o just before the lollipop update...
I think this is a Kitkat Bootloader
Needs to be installed through odin

Help for installation
Training for installation using video are there?
Dude why don't you wait a bit till you get those files on MM or LP and base the ROM on DeadMan's CM13... The older CMs are really laggy, with no camera, and Yamaha driver issues, huge battery drainage also... I'd recommend you not to work on those, where as the CM13 is almost bug free, at least no noticeable bugs, And the devs are great, they could help you a bit too if we ask them nicely enough... And both the ways I'd love to test your Roms... May it be KK or MM
am still doing the big tests to port over a MTK Chipset Rom To Exynos both are Arm V7a
and installation tutorial will be there
and am trying on both bases Kitkat and lollipop cause both at least have AOSP CM Bases
And Boot Loader of LP Works for Other kitkat Roms But Will Do Still Try and update you guys
