[GUIDE] How to port recovery.img (easiest method) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

MTK recovery porting method
Difficulty Level – Medium
Requirements –
1. Developing Skill
2. .img unpack-repack tool ( kitchen or other tool)
3. Notepad++
4. Brain
5. Little Respect
So Let’s start.......
Step 1 : Unpack both ( stock and port) recovey.img

Step 2 : Now open the default.prop file with NotePAD++ from the Extracted “rmdisk” FOLDER.
Open those build.prop file do all Changes the all changeable things what you can just like that we do when PORTING ROM.
Then COPY the ueventd, meta & factory files those are in (.vc) FILES from the STOCK “rmdisk” FOLDER to PORT…
Step 3 : FROM rmdisk>etc FOLDER open recovery.fstab FILE with NP++ .... REPLACE the from your Stock block with PORT mmcblk ……If you want replace with StockRecovery rmdisk>res>recovery.fstab or with workable RECOVERY. JUST replace the emmc block . If you dont know your phone’s emmc block then dont do this. It maybe harmful.
Step 4 : Now all the works for POTING is now Finished..... Repack the port recovery .img . Flash it. Enjoy. 
NOTE : works with CWM based Recoverys like- CTR, COT. Other may not work.

Steps 5 and 6 go together.
Extract the LIB folder of BASE ROM to anywhere you want. Then copy and replace the bolded files below to the PORT ROMs LIB folder.

How to port roms to your mtk with android device

HOW TO PORT ROMS TO YOUR MTK WITH ANDROID DEVICE
Most of us have always wanted to use custom roms but there just no custom roms for our devices so we just use different app launchers and uninstall some bloatware to make our stock rom feel good.
Rom porting makes it possible to use a custom rom on your mtk device provided in this tutorial they have the same chipset (example: mtk 6582 ported to mtk6582).
THINGS NEEDED :
1. B1 archiver / ES FILE EXPLORER
2. Root Browser.
4. A rooted device is also needed but not much important if you have CWM INSTALLED WITHOUT ROOT.
PROCEDURE :
1. Make a backup of your current rom, preferably CWM backup. You can either use MTK DROID TOOLS or ROM MANAGER...
The location of the backup will be at clockwork/backup/"date and time of the backup ". This is very important since we will need stuff from the back up and we will also use the backup to recover the phone should the ported rom give any problems.
2. At this point I presume you have already downloaded the apps needed and the custom rom you want to use which is in a zip format( this was not important but I had to bring it up cause I know zombies could be reading this.
3. Now extract the custom Rom with Root Browser. if you extracted with Root Browser then the location will be "speedsoftware/extracted/"folder with the name of the custom rom "".
4. Now open Root Browser and open the folders side by side "custom rom which will be ported at one side and other side will be used for searching for the location of the things needed for the custom rom.
5. Delete the following from the Custom rom:
Boot.img
logo.bin (You do this only when you like the Your current logo.bin)
system/vendor
system/usr
system/lib/hw
system/lib/modules
system/lib/libncurses.so
system/etc/firmware
system/etc/vold.fstab
system/etc/vold.fstab.nand
system/etc/bluetooth
6. Now that you have deleted them from the custom rom replace them. You will find the boot.img at clockworkmod/back/"folder with date and time"/boot.img. The rest of the files and folders will br located in the Root /system. Just copy and paste
7. Now at the custom Rom panel go back to where you find the "META-INF" folder,open /google/android will now long press on "updater script" and tap on open with then select text editor.
8. Check The mount & format point check something like this mmcblk0p. A number is always written after the "P" replace the number of your BASE to PORT.
9. Check multi select in B1 archiver Select ( do not archive the folder the files are in but the individual files in the folder containing the extracts)
10. Compress to ZIP file wait till the process finished. Now boot to recovery and flash your ROM
Good luck in porting Your Rom... I have used this method to port 5 roms including AROMA ROMS. and I have never ported a Rom with a pc before
MAYBE U NEED TO EXTRACT THE BOOT IMG TOO IF THIS DIDNT WORKED
DO IT AS FOLLOWS
Requirements:
-- BusyBox (cpio, gunzip and gzip is mandatory)
-- /System Write Permissions (Does not need to be a modified kernel)
-- Terminal Emulator
-- ES File Explorer (or similar)
-- Hex Editor (or use of DD)
-- Open up your android terminal emulator.
-- Now go ahead and pull your boot.img from your device (or use another one if you wish)
-- Open up your boot.img with the Hex Editor and look for: ANDROID!. Remove everything before it so that the ANDROID! header is the first to be read then save it over top of the boot.img. NOTE: This is only required if you are using a stock boot.img.
OR USE THIS IF U DIDNT UNDERSTOOD THIS
