[Q] Porting MTK roms

I came across a post in some website which claims that we can port any MTK ROMs from one device to another MTK device just by replacing some files on the ROM that we want to port with that of the ones in our stock rom. Is it possible?

It's almost right.
You need same MTK board (mt6577 is not mt6589) and both devices has same screen resolution it helps.

[Q] Need help rooting ZTE Blade S6

I've read various tutorials and multiple rooting apps: KingoRoot, SRSRoot, SuperOneClick, Rootkit, ERoot, so far I have been unsuccessful.
Using SRSRoot did say Root Complete SuperSU installing, however definitely not rooted.
Anyone had any luck rooting Blade S6? If so, what worked for you?
Phone Details
Manufacturer: ZTE
Model: Blade S6
Android Version: 5.0
Build ID: ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B07
Board ID: MSM8939
Chipset Platform: msm8916
Thanks
Update 13/03/2015: ZTE have released Kernel Source : http*download*ztedevice*com/uploadfiles/copyright/smartphones/source/Blade_S6_Lollipop_Kernel(3.10.49).tar.gz

The S6 is not yet rooted at the time.

Do we have any estimate if and when rooting will be available?
kingoapp , srsroot , eRoot and root kit options do not work - at least currently.
Thank you

We will have to wait. :silly:

Fake, infinite surveys so the webmaster earns $'s depending on how many surveys a user completes.
Although I too not have found a successful root method, the closest I've been is to install SuperSU beta and booting in recovery mode.
However since there is no custom recovery for the ZTE S6 at present, you are unable to "install from Zip".
Once this is available, we should be able to root.

I'm also hoping that someone would help us root our phones. I believe it's easy now since the kernel image is released?

i've come across this root method for the LG G3 running Lollipop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
maybe it'll work on the Blade S6.
i don't own one yet. i would need it to be rooted.
i think once it is rooted, someone will make the effort of porting a custom Recovery for this device and maybe more developers will buy.
i think this is an amazing device for the price. Android 5.1 will be amazing on this as its built for dual sim but i don't think ZTE will bother.
need custom firmware.
Plus there are some people out there that do not trust ZTE or any other Chinese manufacture for that matter and say they contain spyware. for all those that are worried about that a custom firmware such as a pure AOSP port would get rid of those doubts i guess. personally i don't care about such things

[KERNEL SOURCE] MT6592 (MTK6592) Kernel - Kernel, rom for DG550

Hi,
I was looking for developer who can make kernel (would be awesome also a rom) for MTK6592 especially for Doogee DG550. If you don't have DG550 never mind. Owners can buy you one. We will be so grateful.
Here is kernel source:
https://github.com/tpruvot/MT6592-KK-KERNEL
Thank you very much.

Hi man, would be awesome. Are system img and boot img enough for you?
I posted it here:
http://www.needrom.com/download/dg550-kitkat-02112015-blackview-dm550/
It's just rebranded DG550 and it's better than original rom by Doogee (causes battery draining) and they also fix time from internet and other stuff...

Well, all MT6592 are "ALPS". AFAIK
Please provide proper LCM Driver, etc.
As i have the same device i'm very interested.
Files u provided are way not enough for a "simple" build
Currently i'm running this Phone at stock kernel with DarkL privat port. It gives me up to 5days battery on moderated use. So the stock dg550 Kernel is fine already, at least on the battery side ofc
However in my opinion there is no reason why somebody would donate a developer this phone. It cost around 135€. People would have more benefits if they just buy a new, cheaper and more powerful phone while dumping this one.
If u like a good Rom, u can still try port cm12.1 from mt6592 plattform. We might just miss steps in ramdisk

I've contacted Doogee on some e-mails so be in touch. They post on FB post about developing roms for their phones. Does anybody know if they truly pick someone from XDA or 4pda?
Could some one please compile TWRP 2.8.7 or 2.8.6 for DG550? I tried but no success only boot loop

They dont share source. U can use stock Kernel and build cm around. Like few guys here.
Please just read the forum

Wonderful, thx.
Well it ain't boot(didnt pass vendor bootloader logo) on our Devices Doogee DG550. More than me already tried
Port from mt6582 to mt6592 works fine on first run

Yeah, it doesn't work at all. It was working on previous updates. They changed /data to 3GB that could be the problem, isn't it? I was working on flashable rom but it didn't boot. Even I use files from backup in TWRP, it must be problem with META-INF files.
Yeah other recoveries may work, but TWRP is best now like CWM few years ago. I can't even port 2.8.1 with that MTK tool on the newest rom from Blackview.
Also do you know about more complex tool for root checker? I have still problem I was using Super Su 2.46 but can't install busybox, so I used KingoUser and it was working but sometimes it stop working and I have to update Su binaries manually. BTW I don't like KingoUser, the Super Su is much better but doesn't work as it should on this rom. On my P4 5.1.1 working just fine.

my data is 8gb// ebr1 ebr2 .
what u mean, that previous version of cm12 kingzone worked on dg550?
The update script itself works fine with philz
For busybox i used "smartinstall" on Dark L Rom with dg550"

hi bro. i have a phone similar to yours. so, try our custom ROMs to your phone at least. we started developing the device since december(starting with S7 ROM and CM13, more are coming to the device). if do you have kernel source, maybe we can port a android 7.0 system image at least.

yes offcourse you can run or rather flash a 32bit custom rom on a 64bit device. But not the other way around. For porting you need a flashable stock rom of your device and a custom rom you want to port but please note that the chipset needs to be exactly the same and so does the Android os

How ever I try to port, it always ends up with bootloop.
Any suggestions?:crying:

I suggest you not to try cross porting as it require some knowledge first. Instead try to port the same android version and mtk version. Google is your friend... and your bootloop issue might be due to boot.img try extracting and editing it first
