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
Put any working Rom files for your phone to folder named base
Then put the downloaded working Rom you want to port to the folder named port
Copy these files from stock to port:
System/etc/firmware (whole folder).
System/lib/modules (whole folder).

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?

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!!

Thats not recovery problem. Once charge the Phone upto 100% allow two cycles of complete battery drain and analyze battery life.

As of now I'm using a deodexed modified cooked stock ROM. I have not ventured into custom Roms. Will be definitely checking out the best one and port it but I can do that only in free time like Saturday or sunday. Just tell me if you know a good one.

Almost.
I can use either internal SD or external SD at any given point of time. There is some issue with mounting card on /storage/sdcard1. I can mount either on /storage/sdcard0.

can u make TRWP for e3 @OP

We need twrp from a similar device to port it. Other issue with twrp is the size of the recovery. It is bigger than the partition space alloted for the recovery on the device. We would require other tool to increase the partition size of recovery first to enable flashing the the bigger image. So its not straight forward as cwm in our case.

Found out the issue. The recovery is showing a different device vendor (Huawei) and the original boot.img is showing another vendor (HTC).
I had to white-list the vendor in linux (udev and ~/android/adb_usb.ini)
Now it is working fine.

i'm on clone stock kk rom with cwm v6.0.2.8 now. i wanna have twrp v2.8 and also root. how best to go about it?
does your op imply "if twrp v2.7 is used, root is not lost"? - on rooted device having any other custom recovery.
and, what if i flash your twrp v2.8 and then flash supersu zip file from here? will i have proper root?
btw, can this be installed using flashify or mobileuncletools? or, is spftools procedure itself required?
suggest that you make the op clearer and noob-friendly. thanks.

Make sure you flash stock rom first before flashing this recovery! When i was using Q900, it used to give variety of errors! So always begin with clean flashed device! The error that i got frequently was E: cannot mount /Data bla bla.... Always ended up with mounting errors! Then came Shikar bro who ported the recovery and after which i developed the custom first custom ROM!

U cant root using 2.8 recovery.
sometimes if rom is not rooted then at end of flash it ask u to root, 2.8 cant do that but 2.7 can:good:.
u cant have 2.8 with root facility as size will exceed 6mb.
u can root device using any flashble root zip.
================================================================================================
For kitkat 4.4.2 the zip in link is not at all useful.
Also it cant be rooted with supersu provided in recovery
so if u wanna use 2.8 u cant use rooting within recovery.
if u wanna root ur 4.4.2 see this post method 8 definatly works.
also if u want supersu as root app head over to this post.
For recovery flashing I always prefer sp tool method which will work 100% and u dont have to bother about properly rooted device.
if u have rooted device flashify or mobileuncle tool should work.

Hi Avi, when i tried to flash the recovery via flashify my stock recovery is gone as well as the one which i flashed twrp also gone and currently my phone is running without recovery

Yes Sir,
I ported 2.8.2.0 but the size is 6.54mb way too much than recovery partition.
I am trying much hard for more than 6 mb partition which can boot in recovery.
Already bricked my device several times for the same.
But still only 6 mb recovery can boot.
NOw we have two options.
Compile new kernel with less size - source codes are needed
we have bq codes - but it may not work for our device - so i am much reluctant to take chance.
we need to compile new uboot.bin which can make booting in recovery of even 11mb size
again source code and compiling.
If anyone from ur side can help in compiling that would be great- as i am just beginner for it
u can get source code for BQ here.
Thank you.

any hope for latest version of twrp?
please see screenshots of twrp v2.8.0.0. the interface is not clear (highly pixelated). the actual display is worse than seen here. can anything be done about it?
does anyone know of any themes than work on twrp v2.8.0.0 for xolo q3000? the ones i tried didn't work although i chose the correct resolution.
also, what exactly does "repair or change file system" do?
my device gets connected as an mtp device and shows up as a separate device in "my computer". i mean, the sd cards do not get connected as separate usb drives.
i can open the device and see both my sd cards listed and also browse & carry out operations. but, any changes made are not reflected even after 'refreshing'.
if i click "disable mtp" as seen in the 3rd screenshot, will the disabling be temporary or permanent? will my sd cards get connected as separate usb drives?
i'd appreciate it if someone who has authentic knowledge about these matters responds with suggestions. thanks for any help.
btw, i hope @avi3230 is following this thread. maybe we can hope for ctr v3.0 kitkat for xolo q3000 soon.
edit: saw this thread only now . will try that and report :good:. please answer the queries in blue. thanks.

@m0han
TWRP 2.8.2.0 coming soon.
themes for 2.8.0.0
what exactly does "repair or change file system" do?
answer is here.
What's new in 2.7.1.0:
Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.

MTP is also mentioned under 2.8.0.0
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.

1) I don't think you need root permission. If necessary root with iroot : http://www.iroot.com/ or kingoroot : https://www.kingoapp.com/ Both are one click root method.
2)I never upgraded to lolipop, so don't know if it can be flashed in lolipop or not. But I think most probably it should work with lolipop. Either way here is the link to stock kitkat, If this didn't work
http://www.droidgyan.com/recovery-flashable-stock-rom/ - to flash via Recovery
http://www.droidgyan.com/stock-kitkat-rom-a106/ - to flash via SP flash tool.
Either Kitkat or Lolipop your flashing via custom recovery right? so I think It wouldn't matter.
Custom Recovery for Lolipop/Kitkat : http://www.geekstreet.in/2016/02/ctr-version-3-recovery-for.html
3)You can Increase your app storage by this method
for Lolipop : http://www.droidgyan.com/repartition-lollipop-ota/
for Kitkat : http://www.droidgyan.com/repartition-kitkat-without-pc/
Read everything carefully in these links^
4) Well I only used it for 2 days, and I can say its pretty smooth and awesome. No bugs found yet, for me atleast . I think its bugs are fixed. Although a very nice rom, Smooth and Fast. Thank to Developers :good:
To install:
1. Increase app storage
2. Install a custom recovery(you can use the one mentioned above)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik cache and format system.
4. Install Zip from SD card.
5. After Install successful Wipe dalvik cache again
6. Reboot. Done!

How do I unroot it?
I believe this ROM comes pre-rooted. How do I unroot it?

@Hell7

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.
Rememer ONLY DOWNLOAD, don't format, or format and download, or anything!

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.

I got a stock rom (not from my phone) from where i took and modified both the boot.img and the recovery.img and also used the scatter from here to. I couldn`t make mtk droid tools to see my device. I managed to unlock the bootloader, but when i tried to flash the boot and recovery spft gave me a " Obtain DRAM Faild" error. Can you please help?
Thanks!

This was an impulse project. I learned many things in the way. But I have left that effort behind. So, for now: no idea. Hope google helps!

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.
Rememer ONLY DOWNLOAD, don't format, or format and download, or anything!

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 ??

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...
