Hi guys.
I've been looking online but can't seem to find a straight-forward answer to this question.
I was just wondering if, e.g. one MT6582 based android device's preloader.bin file can be used on a completely different MT6582 based device, or if their preloaders are tailored specifically for each MT6582 based device (almost like how a fingerprint would be unique to just one person).
tnx.

If a preloader (say, preloader_deviceA.bin) has the same codename (deviceA) as the device you're using (deviceA), then it's fine.
For instance, the Elephone P2000 and iBerry Auxus Note 5.5 have the exact same specifications (say for a few slight changes here and there), so they should be able to use the same preloader.

So, can I use older preloaders for newer firmwares versions if they are exactly for the specific same device?

I have been looking at roms for my device for quite a while. Some are ports of s4 and xperia stock roms. How to port the latest version of android to my device? I read up on some guides and they all state that the port rom can be any working rom for my device and the base rom should be from any device which has a similar chipset. But there aren't many devices in the market with MTK6589 chipset and the existing ones don't have android 4.3. My question is , how did people manage to port the s4 stock rom to a mediate device. (the s4 has an exynos chipset). And how do people manage to port the latest android versions to their devices.
This may be a noob question but I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything much helpful.
PLS:I have some experience with Linux and its commands but don't know much of coding.
Meizu MX2 is a chinese company's device,and I didn't find a CM available ROM for it .Some people said that Meizu doesn't open their code for developers,but MIUI manage to adapt to it with some ways . So I think xda-developers could adapt a CM ROM to MX2 with the similar way,are you interesting in this adaption?

They have no respect here. Your better off looking on the China based forums. Without proper kernel source the device is dead in the water

IMPORTANT HARDWARE KEY COMBOS
Recovery Mode: Volume Up + Power
This is conventional recovery mode.
Xolo-custom Test Mode: Volume Down + Power
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,
Am trying to get information on technical aspects of Mediatek MT6582.
When purchased my Alcatel A460G the MT6582 was listed as dual core and listed by both CPU-X and CPU-Z.
Did search and only found info Only for 4 core MT6582.
Appreciate suggestions how to find info on dual core MT6582.
Thanks
Ken
Hi,
Forgot to mention I wonder if the Dual Core MT6582 is a Quad Core with 2 cores software deactivated or defective?
Wonder if there is any software that can check for defective CPU cores?
Thanks
Ken
According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores.
My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?
If so, is it possible to run a kernel or even Custom Rom built for the MT6582 on the MT8382?
Hi Cypher_01,
Thanks for your comments!
Have you Rooted the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 with MT8382? If Yes what did you use?
"According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores." Agree, hope there may be some software that can access the two other cores!
"My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?"
Did a search and found MediaTek MT6582 vs Media Tek MT8382 - System on a Chip http://system-on-a-chip.specout.com/compare/464-1080/MediaTek-MT6582-vs-Media-Tek-MT8382 and they are quite similar.
"If so, is it possible to run a kernel or even Custom Rom built for the MT6582 on the MT8382?" Good Question!

Hi ,
I have the lenovo A3500-HV and wanted the lollipop if the MT6582 are similar I think I will try with this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938
Even the marshmallow :silly:
---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------
After some searching I found that 2 things :
1- some one says mt8382 is fake (Chinasse)
2- and Mt8382 for tablet and mt6582 for phones ..
ANND I think I might skip porting and just try this ROM for my tablet :
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/08/cyanogenmod-carbon-rom-for-mt6582.html
(BTW sorry I didn't give any information about the real post ..)
This phone doesn't have a Mt6582 chipset, this phone have the Mt6572, but for some reason is edited in the build.prop to appear has the 6582, I'm guessing that they do it that way to avoid you to flash of another pixi 3 4" to the phone thru SPflashtools, and they make the firmware unrootable so you cant change the build.prop to the original chip set model, that is the only logic explination that I have.
Hello guys, I have an Blackview P2 (with MT6750T Chipset) that has as newest update an Android 7.0, but Blackview never released the sources, does that mean it is impossible to see any custom Roms for it ever like Android 7.1.2 or 8.1.0? Or is it somehow possible to port such Roms from other phones with the same Chipset?
No one having an idea at least?

All phones that use the mtk chipsets are a big and difficult issue ...
MTK does not release the sources of their chipsets , and neither do the OEM - so making an mtk chipset custom ROM is working ""in the dark" , in other words a lot of work . It can be done and has been done and is still happening but the amount of work is just too much. The modersa have to do a lot of guess work.
So not many modders will work on mtk chipset phones unless they have a special interest in the particular phone ...,

Seems like it, your right. I switched to an Redmi Note 5 with an Snapdragon Processor anyway, cause my Blackview P2 died on water sadly. Was an really good phone for an MTK, except the lavk of updates and custom roms. R.I.P. Blackview P2
