How To Port Custom ROMs [For All MTK Chipsets]

Do you want to port Custom ROM to your MTK phone? It’s obviously a wish of many people to port custom rom to their phone and enjoy new features and UI in their device. By following this tutorial, you can easily port Custom ROM to your MediaTek (MTK) ChipSet phone!

I bought Micromax A106 Unite 2 in May and rooted it of of course. Because I never had an experience with MTK before, I didn’t know about MTK porting. I looked into it’s system folders and other. Also I had asked my friends like Rohan Taneja for help to port Custom ROM to my device. He helped me much in learning of MTK porting. Finally I was able to port ROMs without any bugs. I have already posted about this in XDA, but I thought posting in blog will make it much easier for people to comment because I have enabled Anonymous commenting so users can comment here without even putting their name. I will try to explain this guide in brief as I can so I don’t think anyone will have doubts left. In case if you have any doubts you can post your comment and I will reply it as soon as possible.
This is for all MT65xx chipsets including:
MT6577
MT6582
MT6589
MT6592

This guide is only for MTK! This will work from same chip to same chip for example MT6582 to MT6582 orMT6577 to MT6577, MT6592 to MT6592. To port Custom ROM, all you need to have is a device with same SoC and it’s Custom ROM with your own Stock ROM.

Requirements to Port Custom ROM to your MTK device:

• A Custom Recovery: If you don’t have follow this tutorial to port one!
• Custom ROM (from a device with almost same specifications and SoC).
• Your Stock ROM.

Some devices have different partitions to flash and the ROM you might flash can brick your phone. It can even hard brick your phone. So it is recommended that you do a ReadBack, ClockWorkMod Backup and MTK Droid Root & Tools backup. This tutorial [Port Custom ROM to your MTK phone] is 100% working, but still we won’t take the GUARANTEE what happens to your device!
