Hello Viewers! I am Rohan Taneja, here with completely re-written guide to Port MTK65xx Roms.
I had left MTK development since a year and I finally got another MTK device to carry with it again.

So, Many Of You May be MTK Device User than you are at right place to fill your device with many awesome roms!
Note: Android ONE devices (MT6582 SoC) use Google's device tree, meaning they differ on everything with all the other MediaTek devices (even the ones with the same SoC , MT6582), as per @superdragonpt told us
Requirements:
A MTK powered device
USB Cable
Usable Brains :cyclops:
Knowledge about Flashing & Taking Logs :angel:
Stock Firmware (from manufacturer) & Port Firmware (matching specification of your device)
Custom Recovery installed on device
Porting Tips
Choose Custom ROM from a device matching same resolution to reduce App Size related bugs
This Guide Applies to
MT6577 to MT6577, vice-versa
MT6589 to MT6589, vice-versa
MT6572 to MT6572, vice-versa
MT6582 to MT6582, vice-versa
Note: Try it at your own risk, and don't complaint any developer or XDA if any mishap takes place. :good:
TUTORIAL:Starting with the tutorial, I request you to follow every single step written below to prevent any kind of problem in flashing and causing bootloop. I also dare you to take a nandroid backup of your current rom you are using.
Get. Set. Go.
Step 1 : Patching System Folder for the port patch.First of all make a folder named "Port_Patch" and setup all the folder as shown in the images below.
Now, in Port_Patch make system folder in which make folders, "bin" "etc" "lib" "usr" "vendor" "xbin" (without ")
In folder "bin" copy pq & vold from your stock rom
In folder "etc" copy "bluetooth" "firmware" "wifi" "apns-conf.xml" "vold.fstab" "vold.fstab.nand"
In folder "lib" copy files as shown in the image
In folder "usr" copy usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
In folder "vendor" all the files
In folder "xbin" copy "libmnlp_mt662x" (x - '0' or '8') from stock
System has been patched, copy this /system to patch the /system of port ROM.
Step 2: Patching the boot.img of the port rom.This is bit tricky but can be done easily.
So, first of download this little tool, to unpack & repack your boot.img - MTKbootimg.zip - tested on Windows 7 & above platform
Extract the Tool and you will get two folders named "stock" & "port"
Copy boot.img's respectively from stock rom in "stock" folder & from port rom to "port"
Unpack both boot.img repectively and they may look like this.
From stock copy "kernel" to port folder and just replace it.
Now, repack it, new file named "boot-new.img" will be generated.
Copy "boot-new.img" to port Rom Folder.
Delete existing "boot.img" and rename "boot-new.img" to "boot.img"
Now, your boot.img is patched, proceed to last step.
Step 3: Modifying updater-script to install ROM accordingly.
So, it's the last step before flashing the rom. Now lets fix it.
First, you have to know your device mount points, that can be tracked using MTKDroid Tool or check them in stock rom updater-script.
I have my flashable stock rom so I will get mount points from it.
As show in the image, my stock updater have different mount point for system & data while port have different.
Now, replace "mmcblk0pX" (X - no. for the mount) from stock to port as designated for the partition.
Now Save the updater-script.
Finally, the ROM is ready to flashed.
Step 4: Compressing & Flashing the ROM.
Now, the rom is ready to be packed and flashed.
Simply get to the main directory with META-INF, system, boot.img, etc files.
Select all the files and compress them to zip. Select the compression ratio as you want.
After compressing copy the ROM into root of sdcard
Enter Custom Recovery, wipe data & Cache
Flash the ROM.zip wait till it completes.
Wait till it boots, or else take log using ADB logcat. (Hint: If LED light blinks, the rom is booting)
FOR Fixes Proceed to next post and find out the way to tackle and fix the bugs.
Fixing ROM issues
Finally Ported a Custom ROM. Now, time to kill out some bugs.
Its all about making the build stable for personal as well as others to use it.
Leave the files if not there in your System
Let's get started:
Bootloop? :crying:
Replace following files(from stock to port):
Code:
[LIST]
[*]libandroid_runtime.so
[*]libandroid_servers.so
[*]libmedia_jni.so
[*]libsync.so
[*]If possible try modifying framework.jar "\smali\com\android\server" (copy from stock)
[/LIST]
Camera Not Working?
Replace following files(from stock to port):
Code:
[HIDE][LIST]
[*]lib3a.so
[*]liba3m.so
[*]libacdk.so
[*]libaudioflinger.so
[*]libc.so
[*]libcam.camadapter.so
[*]libcam.campipe.so
[*]libcam.camshot.so
[*]libcam.client.so
[*]libcam.paramsmgr.so
[*]libcam.utils.so
[*]libcam_camera_exif.so
[*]libcamalgo.so
[*]libcamdrv.so
[*]libcamera_client.so
[*]libcamera_jni_eglfence.so
[*]libcamera_metadata.so
[*]libcameracustom.so
[*]libcameraservice.so
[*]libgn_camera_feature.so
[*]libexif
[*]libfeatureio.so
[*]libfrsdk.so
[*]libft.so
[*]libgcomm_jni.so
[*]libgoggles_clientvision.so
[*]libgui.so
[*]libimageio.so
[*]libja3m.so
[*]libjni_mosaic.so
[/LIST]
Thanks To [I]Shikar A[/I][/HIDE]
[B]Init.rc Fix:[/B]
[HIDE]Init.rc(present in the ramdisk of boot.img), find for code #Camera in stock boot.img. Copy it and replace from stock init.rc and replace in the port init.rc
[IMG]http://s27.postimg.org/4ucj34cwj/initrc_cam.png[/IMG][/HIDE]
Wlan not working properly?
Code:
Check wlan.chip in stock like:
[HIDE][IMG]http://s30.postimg.org/myaya0sxt/Untitled.png[/IMG]
fmradio.driver.chip=x (if mt6620 then x=1, if mt6628 then x=3)
Change the above codes accordingly in updater-script
Replace the version in port from the one in stock[/HIDE]
(Replace from stock to port)
libbluetooth_mtk.so
libbluetoothem_mtk.so
GPS, unstable or not working?
(Replace from stock to port)
Code:
xbin/libmnlp
Media Player problem?
(Replace from stock to port)
Code:
libdpframework.so
libcodecvdrv.so
Sensors not working properly?
(Replace from stock to port)
Code:
libsensorservice.so
SD Card not working or mounting?
Code:
In the framework-res.apk of your port, replace /res/xml/storage_list.xml from stock one.
USB not mounting your device?
Code:
Unpack your boot.img replace init.usb.rc from ramdisk by stock boot.img init.usb.rc
This tutorial worked for porting MIUI, Baidu, Vibe UI, LeWa OS, AOSP based rom from different device to my MT6589 of same hardware.

If You Don't Have "srec" folder no need to worry but for system.img you need to extract the img by ext4 method:

sorry for the noob questions..i just want to port a rom to my device as we dont have developers
it worked!
i ported an miui from newman n1, the ics 4.0.4 with no bugs to my cherry mobile blaze / Ming Ren A2 clone.
btw, this is not a dual sim display miui, i need to go to settings anytime i wan to use the other sim.
anyone who knows where to get a dual sim display miui?

Do you know procedure to Port a STOCK ROM(SP Flash tool format not a CWM) of X device to Y device?
Both are mostly same in specifications except the resolution.
I read in some threads that we can not port a rom from a device which has different resolution ?
Thanks in Advance

Well lots of people asked me here and on facebook to expain how i port custom roms for my device so i decided to make a Noob friendly thread for those who want to learn how to port custom rom for their device i use this method for porting samsung roms for my device but it may also work on any other device as well
I will make myself as clear and as simple as possible so anyone can understand what actually is happening in each part of the guide
The method i use for porting roms is as following :
Things which you need are : Notepad++ , 7Zip a laptop and a brain
First of all you need to understand what really matters when porting a custom rom for you device and that is the compatibility of both the devices one which is yours and one from which you are trying to port the rom from in order to port a custom rom the specifications of both the devices should be similar i.e. they should be sharing the same Chipset ,same Internal memory , same Ram and Camera resolution
Terms used in the guide:
-Base rom(this is the rom which was made for your device which you would use as a base for porting the roms)
-Port rom(this is the rom which your are trying to port for your device)
Step 1
Make a folder at your desktop and name it port now take any custom rom you want to port for your device and put it into that folder now just like this make another folder on the desktop and name it base and put a rom made for your device into it but be careful if youre trying to port a cyanogenmod based rom or a AOSP based rom then your base rom should be a ASOP or a cyanogenmod rom and if youre trying to port a samsung rom then the base rom should be a samsung rom and same as for htc , xperia or any other device
Step 2
Now go to base folder and right click on the base rom and choose extract here using either winrar or 7zip ( i recommend 7zip) now go to port folder and right click on it and choose open archive option from 7zip( there will be two options for open archive one and two just chose the upper one because the lower one will extract the rom and we don't want that for this one )
Step 3
The port rom elements will be shown like meta inf and system and boot img ( absent in some cases) now go to port roms system folder then proceed as following system>etc>firmware and delete the firmware folder now go to base rom and copy the firmware folder from the same path by going from system>etc>firmware and paste it into the etc folder of the port rom
Step 4
Now go to the port rom proceed as following system>lib>modules and delete the module folder and just like how we did before copy the module folder from the base rom into the port roms lib folder
Step 5
Now go to port rom and proceed as following system>usr>keylayout>generic.kl and delete it and copy the generic.kl from the base rom into the port rom
Step 6
now copy and replace the boot.img from the base rom into the port rom
Step 7
No go to port folder and and proceed as following system>meta-imf>com>google>android>updater binary and updater script and delete these two and replace from the ones in the base folder
Step 8
Now put the port rom into your external-sd card and flash via recovery with a full data and cache wipe
Some fixes for bugs and issues:
Note: try replacing the files into the port rom and see if the problem solves or not
NFC
/system/app/Nfc.apk
/system/lib/libnfc*.so
/system/bin/pcscd
Radio
/system/bin/fmradio
Sensors
/system/bin/akmd*
/system/lib/libsensors.so
Bluetooth
/system/bin/bd_prov
/system/bin/uim*
/system/bin/hcid
/system/bin/bluetooth*
/system/bin/hciattach
/system/bin/sdptool
/system/xbin/hciconfig
Wifi
also copy and replace the wlan.ko file from system>libs>modules into the port rom from the base rom if the file name is pronto_wlan.ko then rename it to wlan.ko before replacing
/system/bin/netcfg
/system/bin/dhcpcd
/system/bin/ifconfig
/system/bin/hostap
/system/bin/hostapd
/system/bin/hostapd_bin
/system/bin/pcscd
/system/bin/wlan*
/system/bin/wpa*
RIL
/system/bin/stmd
/system/bin/rild*
/system/etc/rril
Camera
Copy libcamera*.so from base to port rom
If rom does not boot after that, replace file one by one and see which file is the problem.
If you have any questions or queries then feel free ask any things
for future
just in case

You can port from MTK to MSM or from MSM to MTK
For LP :
MSM : Kernel - 3.10.54 to MTK : Kernel - 3.10.65
For MM
MSM : Kernel - 3.10.48 to MTK : Kernel - 3.18.19
First part Boot.Img
1.Replace kernel from stock to port
2.From init.rd all files need compared-named need to be same from stock bootimg and use your brain to change Mount points in init.rc(also init.qcom.rc)
3.Compare all and need to have some knowledge for this.No noobs or beginners.
Second part System
1.Apps.only if is something from mtk or snapdragon replace and delete all which is not for your chipset
2.Bin folder.Delete and replace with Stock.This is need because is different from mtk or snapdragon
3.Etc folder.Delete Firmware Wifi Bluetooth all folders which is like from aosp(for example amigo ui use special folders to boot their rom).Files for custom os need to be not changed.only which is for your soc.
4.Framework.For Snapdragon delete all which begin with mediatek-..... and replace from stock with qc... or qcom... and compare all which is from stock with port.Also fromm framework replace from framework-res.apk(res/xml)-storage.xml
5.All mtk...libs deleted and replace all which have same name in lib...so All which is not for porting os from port need to be deleted and not replaced from stock.(can cause bootloop)
6.Usr.Delete and replace this folder with stock.
7.Vendor.Nothing not need to be changed.Only lib need to be compared and changed if is needed.
8.Rfs.Delete and replace from stock
9.Build.prop.Change especially for your chipset
Final part.Meta Inf
Change only mount points.
For final you need to have some knowledge about all files from your socs......Also a second porting guide will be released for noobers.
Second porting guide
1.From stock delete only app priv-app media fonts tts build prop and framework(move to another dir)
2.Replace from port folders but framework delete mediatek or qc files but copy from
stock missing files and delete files which is in plus.
3.Lib.Delete qc or mtk and replace all which is desired from stock.
4.And all folders like from three step.
This guide is desired for devs which have some experience for porting.Also is not a officially guide can be unstable and not work but need to be tried.For mine worked to port amigo ui from mtk to msm & color os

This is for all those users who want to port roms and use them in their devices.
But , before porting any rom,here are some of the main things you should keep in mind.
1)Base Rom :-
What is a Base Rom?
Code:
Base Rom is reffered to the Stock rom or the Default Rom of your device or sometimes the rom from which you will take base files(libs,apns,modem etc).
2)Port Rom
What is a Port Rom?
Code:
Port Rom is the rom which you will port for your device.
like if you are working a rom of another device having similar specifications and porting it for your device then it is called PORT ROM.
3)Kernel
What is a Kernel?
Code:
The kernel is a computer program that is the core of a computer's operating system, with complete control over everything in the system.
the central or most important part of something
In easy words kernel acts as the middle man between the Software and the Hardware
When porting a rom , you should check the Kernel version of the Port Rom and the Base Rom
They both should be similar,
like you can port from :
3.18.xx to 3.18.xx only
3.10.xx to 3.10.xx only
BUGS IN THE BASE ROM OR IN THE PORT ROM.
Yes , our Base Rom and the Port roms may contain bugs,
Those bugs will exist in our final Ported Rom also so , fixing those is not possible - Its always recommended to use a Stable or near to Stable Roms but hi, Custom Roms are made for pleasure only and these roms can't take place of stock roms.
Many users don't like Stock Rom (i.e Default Rom) so , they look for a Custom Rom.
Now let's talk about the main topic for which YOU ARE HERE!
PORTING A ROM!
In this Guide, i will tell one of the most easy way to BOOT UP THE ROM.
So, lets begin,
This guide will focus on MT6735/MT6753 porting.
Device i used is Coolpad Note 3 Lite
CPU:MT6735
But, it will work mostly on all MT675X SoCs , this can also be useful for MT67XX series but , My main focus is on MT675X
Without any delay let's talk about how you should port a ROM and what should be your focus at
YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON BOOTING THE ROM INSTEAD OF BUG FIXING AND DOING OTHER THINGS.
WHEN YOU PORT A ROM CHANGE FILES WISELY
DONT JUST COPY PASTE
PORTING A ROM CAN GET TOUGH ACCORDING TO THE ROM, LIKE PORTING AN AOSP BUILD CAN BE EASY BUT PORTING A MIUI BUILD IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST TOUGHED AND IRRITATING THING.
RESPECT THE EFFORTS BY THE PREVIOUS DEV.
CREDITS, WHEN YOU PORT A ROM THAT ROM WAS MADE BY SOMEONE , PORTED BY SOMEONE or BUG FIXED BY SOMEONE - SO BY ANY MEANS IF YOU KNOW THE SOURCE AND THE DEV OR TEAM WHOSE BUILD YOU ARE PORTING PLEASE GIVE CREDIT.
THANKS.
NOW , FINALLY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PORTING GUIDE WHICH YOU ALL ARE WAITING FOR.
What you guys need:-
Code:
1)Base Rom
2)Port Rom
3)Any good Notepad
4)Any Boot.img repack or unpack tool
5)Brain
Now , if you have all the above mentioned things , Lets proceed.
BOOT.IMG :-
BOOT.IMG contains all the magic , it has the KERNEL inside which is one of the main thing.
Porting from Same CPU & GPU:-
NOTE:- When you are porting from a Similar device having same chipset like porting from:-
MT6753 TO MT6753
MT6735 TO MT6735
Use this method (95% times working ):-
System/lib & lib64 :-
Code:
libaudiocomponentengine.so
libaudiocustparam.so
libnvram.so
libnvramagentclient.so
libnvram_platform.so
libnvram_sec.so
libcustom_nvram.so
System/etc :-
Code:
/Firmware folder
/apnconfig
/spnconfig
/agps_profile_conf2
/media_codecs.xml
BLACK SCREEN AFTER LOGO???
REPLACE THIS LIB:- libcam.paramsmgr
To Fix Camera ( sometimes bootloop so try one by one ) :-
from System/lib & lib64 replace all libs starting like this:-
Code:
libcamera.mt6735 (mt6735 is according to my CPU )
libcameracustom.lib etc
libcamalgo.lib
Unpack Boot.img of both Base & Port Rom
Code:
replace kernel
and init.mt6735.rc ( not recommended always)
and Fstab.mt6735
System/Lib(/64)/HW*
Done , Now zip em and flash.
90% Rom will boot with BUGS! ( NO ROM IS THERE WITHOUT BUGS, LOL)
==>READ BUG FIX METHOD ALSO{Later in this Guide}<==
For Cross Porting Like:-
MT6752 etc to MT6753/MT6735
DO REMEMBER TO CHANGE :-
Code:
System/xbin/mnld
System/mddb
System/etc/firmware
System/etc/Apnconf
System/etc/spnconf
In lib(/64)/HW :- add files accordingly to your CPU or rename them.
BLACK SCREEN AFTER LOGO :-
Code:
libcam.paramsmgr
BOOT.IMG PORTING:-
UNPACK both Base Rom and Port Rom Boot.img
In PORT ROM BOOT.IMG:-
Code:
replace the boot.img-kernel
and in ramdisk folder add these files from Base Boot.img to Port Boot.img
Code:
fstab.mt6735
init.mt6735.rc
init.mt6735.usb.rc
Note:- Name may differ a little according to your CPU
REPACK THE BOOT IMAGE
NOTE:- If u get WIFI AND BLUETOOTH NOT SWITCHING ON OR BATTERY PERCENTAGE THEN REPLACE
Code:
init.project.rc
Done , You have succesfully ported Boot.img
Now , Lets focus on BUG FIXING
Bug Fixing isnt easy as it seems.
Replacing any wrong file or not supported file can easily give you bootloops.
It depends from ROM to ROM.
BUG FIXING[MTK]
Let's Begin.
If any lib missing in Base leave that - DONT WORRY
NOTE:- CHANGE LIB FILES FROM BOTH lib & lib64 folders
If you face "This rom is for Coolpad Note 3 Lite and your device is "K4Note"
To remove this delete the assertlines in Updater-script
ALWAYS CHANGE DPI IN BUILD.PROP ACCORDING TO YOUR STOCK ROM
Bootloop when porting
Code:
*libandroid_runtime.so
*libandroid_servers.so
*libmedia_jni.so
*Repack boot.image (properly)
RadioFM
Code:
\system\bin\fmradio
\system\etc\firmware\mt6620_patch_e3_hdr.bin
\system\etc\firmware\mt6620_patch_e6_hdr.bin
\system\etc\firmware\WMT.CFG
\system\lib(/64)\libfmcust.so
/system/lib(/64)/libfmjni.so
Sensors
Code:
/system/bin/akmd*
/system/lib/libsensors.so
/system/lib/libms3c_yamaha.so ( acc. To device)
/system/etc/firmware (folder)
/system/bin/servicemanager
/system/bin/sensorservice
System/bin/msensord
system/etc/permissions/:-
android.hardware.sensor.xxxxx.xml
FIX Offline charging:-
Code:
In Boot.img -> sbin/healthd
System/Lib(/64):-
Showlogo
System/bin:-
Kpoc_charger
Bluetooth\Wifi not turning On\Off(old)
Code:
\system\lib\module\mtk_stp_wmt

=====>>ADVANCE BUG FIXING:-
Volte Fixing
( Will only work if your Base Rom , Port Rom and Kernel supports VOLTE )
Code:
Boot.img:-
Zimage ( kernel - volte supported )
init.volte.rc
==THIS SHOULD NORMALLY FIX but if it doesn't try :- ==
Code:
System Folder:-
bin/volte_stack
bin/volte_imcb
bin/volte_ua
lib(/64)/volte_imsm
build.prop(Not always required):-
ro.mtk_volte_support=1
persist.mtk.volte.enable=1
FingerPrint:-
[Try one by one][If any file missing leave it]
Usual way to fix :-
Code:
System/etc/permissions/android.hardware.fingerprint.xml
System/lib(/64)/libgatekeeper.so
System/lib(/64)/hw/gatekeeper.mt6735.so
System/(/64)/libmcgatekeeper.so
System/lib(/64)/hw/fingerprint.default.so ( can break FP in some devices)
Advanced ( if usual doesn't work ):-
Code:
System/bin/:-
fingerprintd
Gx_fpd
tee_deamon
Lib64/lib:- ( if any missing leave that)
Fpclient
Fpalgorithm
Fphal
FPservice
IF ROM DOESNT BOOT TAKE LOG ( From ADB)
adb shell logcat > log.txt
and check what is causing issue

GUIDE TO PORT RECOVERY
PORT TWRP RECOVERY
Things You are Required ::-
Code:
1.Android Image Kitchen
2.Notepad++
3.Base Recovery
4.TWRP to Port
5.Brain
First of All , You Guys need to unpack Recovery.img i.e both Stock Recovery or TWRP Recovery.
After this :-
You need to Copy these files from your Stock Recovery to the TWRP Recovery ( which you want to port ) :-
Lets Divide Step by Step ::--
*REPLACE FROM STOCK TO PORT*
STEP1:
Inside Ramdisk Folder ::::::
Code:
1.meta_init.modem.rc
2.meta_init.project.rc
3.meta_init.rc
STEP2:
Now replace your Kernel usually named as zimage-kernel
STEP3
Inside Ramdisk Folder(boot.img):::::::
Code:
1.fstab
2.ueventd.rc
3.ueventd.goldfish.rc.
STEP4
INSIDE RAMDISK/ETC
Code:
recovery.fstab
STEP5
Open Default.prop
and Compare it with stock Default.prop or your Build.prop ( add values from build.prop )
=============>>>>>>>
DONE!!!!! EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE
NOW REPACK IT AND FLASH.
YOU HAVE PORTED A RECOVERY....
WARNING: Do not replace any file unnecessarily, because it may give rise to new bugs in place of solving it. Always be specific!
Now Mostly its the end of the Guide / Tutorial / G.K on porting or whatever you call it.
Once again , i (Kuber Sharma) hope you guys succesfully learn porting and making roms soon.
You guys have my Best Wishes.
Thank You.

Take a log
trying to port for teclast t98 4g mt8752
I've trying to port following a lot of guide ever bootloop only one time boot but no touchscreen
what i'm wondering my stock rom is kitkat so with a 32bit kernel ,i think, can i mix it with 64bit rom?
in my stock rom there isn't lib64 directory so what can I do to follow your guide?
thanx
Sorry to post it here as i thought probably you could help me but this method should also work for 32 bit roms .. Right?? I was porting a lollipop nexus look rom to my lenovo tab.It boots to the android is optimising screen and finishing bootbthen goes into a soft reboot. Can you help me with that? And please do confirm whether this method would work for 32 bit rom.
Hello!
I have a problem with the port I made for the Redmi Pro (MTK6797T). The ROM is booting and working quite well but the problem comes when i try to use my headphones.
The ROM recognises the headphones, when i plug them the headphones icon appears and the buttons are working to stop-play a song, however the sound comes out of the headphones and the speaker at the same time.
Any idea to solve this?
thanks A LOT for bugfixing guide portion... i was searching for that for a long time
@kuberrocks96
Camera gets crashed whenever I try to take HDR ......what is needed to fix this?
hi bro, Thanks for the guide, just like crossposting from a mt6753 to a mt6735? Or similar?
Now I would like to leave a solution for the nvram problem that has already happened to me several times
1.- edit the build.prop looking for gemini lines, in my case being a single sim would have to be disabled this function and any other line related to the sim ... if in your case you have 2 sim as you have to activate The gemini function and specify that it is dual sim looking for this line in the build.prop "persist.radio.multisim.config = ss" (for single sim) and change it to "= dsds" for dual sim
2.-In the libraries you have to change this
Libnvram.so
Libnvramagentclient.so
Libnvram_platform.so
Libnvram_sec.so
Libfeatureio.so
Libfeatureiodrv.so
Libhardware_legacy.so
Libcustom_nvram.so
3.- also have to change the firmware and mddb folders
And finally in the boot.img it is necessary to replace in ramdisk these files
Fstab.mt6735.rc
Init.mt6735.rc
Init.mt6735.usb.rc
And added a fourth file
Init.modem.rc
With that you should have running the imei and remove the nvram error in the configurations of the wifi
Greetings from Mexico and apologies for my English, but I'm using google translator
i couldnt fix modem problem even with firmware nor mddb nor modem file in boot image. w/o sim inside baseband imei works but w sim inside its showing no baseband no imei no service.
mt6752 to mt6752. base is c5 e5553 single sim port is k3 note dual sim.
wifi bluetooth sound works, didnt try camera fix
Please can you help solve the BLU R1HD camera MT6735 in Nougat from this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/cm14-1-r1hd-t3518202
Yes , it will

Check wht files you replaced.
While booting the rom just don't replace all files.
Kernel ( and other boot.img part)
Firmware
Apn & spn
Amd sometimes mddb is enough
Hi , thanks

Yes , no worries we all are humans and language shouldn't be a bearer.
And yeah , thanks for your little guide.
Cheers
1. Search and download the ROMs which u wanna port (Phone from which u port the rom must be running on chipset mt6582 and android 4.4.2)
2. No need of any stock rom, download the autoport ,link is given below (in autoport.zip u'll get all the the files/folders that u'll have to replace)
3. And a little patience.
It is only for stock based roms , not for roms like miui, emui, lewa os, etc..
STEPS FOR PORTING-
1. Extract the port rom and Autoport
2. Copy boot.img from autoport to port rom
3. Open system then go to bin folder, copy both pq and vold from autoport to port rom
4. Open lib folder and copy all files from lib of autoport to port rom (only files not folders)
5. Now delete hw folder that is in lib from port rom and copy it from autoport
6. Go back and delete vender folder from port rom and copy it from autoport
7. Go to etc folder and delete firmware and wifi folder from port rom then copy them from autoport , u're done
8. Now zip the port rom and flash via recovery.
9. (most important) dont forget to give credits to the developer of that rom
]
SOLUTIONS FOR MOST FOUND BUGS-
Stuck on bootlogo or black screen comes after boot logo = replacelibMali.so from any working rom for ur device.
Location - system/lib
Screen upside down = open build.prop of ur port rom with notepad++ find this line ro.sf.hwrotation=180 and change 180 to 0 , if it is already 0 then change it to 180.
If u will find more bugs then i m here to help u..

--Bugs Solution --
This post is for those porters who have facing
bug after successful boot into custom rom
BUG FIXING
Here is few most encountered bugs after porting
and their solutions.
(If you get any more bugs and solutions please
let me know. I will add them here. It will be
helpful for all.)
These r
the
solutions:-
1. FOR NETWORK RELATED ISSUES (3G)
Replace from /etc folder, mddb then replace
agps_profiles_conf, apns-conf,epo_conf, spn-
conf, virtual-spn-conf-by-efpnn, virtual-spn-conf-
by-efspn, virtual-spn-conf-by-imsi
2. FOR WIFI TOGGLE PROBLEM
Replace wide-dhcpv6, wifi in /etc folder
3. FOR INTERNAL / EXTERNAL MEMORY NOT
MOUNT PROBLEM
Replace vold.fstab from /etc folder
4. FOR HIGH AUDIO VOLUME ISSUE
Replace libcustom_nvram.sofrom /lib
5. FOR CAMERA NOT CONNECTED ISSUE /
CAMERA GREEN / CAMERA FORCE CLOSE
"unfortunately camera has stopped"
Replace first libcamdrv.so (needed for 6582
devices) and check if not success then replace
libcameraservice.so from/lib. If still not success
then keep on replacing one file at a time and
check.
Camera problem is the one major bug in this type
of porting. You have to have patience. This will
take half of your energy.
6. FOR AUDIO NOT COMING IN LOUDSPEAKER
MODE
Replace libaudio.primary.default.sofrom /lib
If still sound related problem:
Replace all libaud*.so
Sometimes replacing all audio files give you a
boot loop in that case replace only
libaudio.a2dp.default.so
libaudio.primary.default.so
libaudiocompensationfilter.so
libaudiocustparam.so
libaudiosetting.so
libaudioutils.so
7. FOR FLASH LIGHT NOT COMING FROM
CAMERA
