helloansuman Official Website

2. Requirements:
1. Notepad++
2. 7zip
3. Stock ROM (Original Firmware of your device)
4. Port Rom (MIUI ROM you want to port to your device)
5. Android kitchen (Optional)
How to choose a miui rom for porting?
Check the miui rom you choose is similar to your
1. Chipset (If your device is MT6589 choose an miui rom of a same MT6589 device)
2. Display (If your device is QHD choose a QHD, if your device is HD choose QHD or HD, if FHD
choose QHD, HD or FHD MIUI ROM)
Copy/replace the necessary files from Stock rom to
port ROM
1. open stock ROM and port rom in separate window.
2. Delete the folder "firmware" folder from port ROM systemetc" & Copy "firmware"
folderfrom " Stocksystemetc" to "port ROMsystemetc"
3. Copy all files from "systemlibHW" and replace to "port ROMsystemlibHW"
4. Replace libcamalgo.so and libcameracustom.so files from" systemlib" and replace to "
port ROM systemlib"
5. Replace mtk_stp_wmt.ko file from "Stocksystemlibmodules" and replace to "port
romsystemlibmodules"
6. Replace boot.img from stock to port.

3. Change necessary lines from updater-script and
build.prop
In updater-script
1. Open updater-script using notepad++ from "port ROM META-INFcomgoogleandroid"
2. Remove whole lines contain assert word at the beginning of the file like this line
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "cancro" || getprop("ro.build.product") ==
"cancro");
3. Verify /system should be mounted in "/dev/block/mmcblk0pS" & /data should be mounted in
"/dev/block/mmcblk0pD"
What is S and D?
S – System Mount Point
D – Data Mount Point
To know these mount point values
- Open MTK Droid Tool after connecting your phone to PC.
- Open Block Maps.
- Check these lines.

4. Change accordingly these lines in updater-script
format("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/data");
In build.prop
buid.prop (founder under /system folder) you can left it as it is or if you can compare with STOCK
ROM change below mentioned lines
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.board=
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
FLASHABLE ROM ZIP MAKING:
1. Select “Data (If present), META-INF, System folders and boot.img”
2. Right Click and 7Zip- > add to Archive -> Select zip and compression Method “Store”
3. Make a zip and Flash it.
4. DONE !!!
OPTIONAL STEP: (If phone is in bootloop)
Install Andriod Kitchen to your windows/Linux
Refer :- ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 )
- Rename port rom as WORKING_somename (important) and place it in Android-Kitchen folder.
Run Android Kitchen and
1, select "0" and "12" and "w" [it will extract boot.img from port ROM to KitchenBOOT-EXTRACTED ]

5. 2, Now select "a" and then copy the boot.img from "stock rom"
to"Kitchenbootimg_mmddyy_hhmmss"
3, copy zimgage from "Android Kitchenbootimg_mmddyy_hhmmss" & paste to
"AndroidKitchenBOOT-EXTRACTED"
4, compare the init.rc file inside extracted boot.img and find (ctrl+F)“cam”. Copy and replace lines
related to camera from stock boot.img to port ROM boot.img.
5, now select "b" option in andriod kitchen [it will build boot.img from BOOT-EXTRACTED in to
WORKING folder]
6, Then zip the whole and flash.
Here is a small video tutorial for this optional step.
PART-1 PART-2

6. BUG FIXING
After you able to boot into MIUI, you have to check for bugs. 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.)
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
