Hi i am a beginner in Porting ROM (or should i say completely 0) .. i have had no experience in porting or modding, but i am on my way to doing so
i have a Firefly S120 [Cubot C11] MT6572 Device with me, and i am trying to port some ROM for my phone, i'm following some TuT i found here
first i tried porting a LeWa OS v5 for Micromax A77 to my Device since they are both MT6572 Devices, so i followed the "Porting From Same SoC" Guide, after i compiled my ROM, i Got a Corrupted Boot Logo, like a line of distorted colors or so and no boot animations so i think it is bricked
second, i tried porting a Non-LeWa OS Custom ROM for Lenovo A830 so i followed the "Porting From Different SoC" Guide, after i flashed the ROM, a Lenovo Splash Screen Appeared, it tookabout 2 minutes and then i was stuck on a bootloop .. i think it has something to do with the boot.img since i didn't understand that part clearly
a friend of mine told me that my kernel was outdated and that was the reason why i am failing on my ports, but the other one told me i have the one and only kernel for Jelly Bean (v3.4.5)
so i posted this here, hoping someone can help me out where did i go wrong here .. thank you everyone :fingers-crossed:

Hi XDA,
I got 4 months ago a new smartphone: Allview P5 Mini, running Android 4.0.4. It seems Allview isn't going to make us "happy" and make a firmware update to Jelly Bean and no developer wants to make a custom ROM for it, so I want to make my own one. The problem is that I don't really know the Java or C++ Language so I am worse than a noob.. I don't know how to start and I am very scared about my device getting bricked after I am going to root it or after I will flash the Custom ROM or Kernel. All I've "worked" on Android until now is editing the build.prop, rooting my TF101 and flashing a custom ROM and Kernel (got it bricked 4 times) and that's all ..
So again, all I need is someone helping me to start, code, edit, design, create etc. for my first Custom ROM for my Allview P5 Mini.
Thank you very much for helping me!

Hello everyone. I have a bq Aquaris E5HD and it has a MTK SoC (mt6582). Well, I found a CM11 rom for the AndroidOne (It has the same CPU, same RAM, both are Dual Sim...) and I was wondering if someone can port it... I tried to do it but I have no idea of how to build the boot.img so... Please, I'm sure that someone knows how to do it and can help me.
I tried to port the ROM with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-mtk-cross-platform-chipset-rom-t2925242 but I can't do the second step. I don't know how...
Here I leave the link of the ROMs if someone is too kind to do it for me...
Base ROM (deodexed): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B23v5_ZS5vBHalVPUEZMYXlEdTQ/edit (KitKat 4.4.2)
A1 CM11: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602770 (KitKat 4.4.4)
(The links are from the original posts, not mirrored)
I will thank you so much if you can port the rom :crying:
Hello respect porters. This is my first thread asking for help here as I was unsuccessful to boot any MTK 6592 Custom ROM in my Karbonn Titanium S360. I've gone through multiple porting guides but I just fail to get a successful boot. I've also tried Custom ROM's that are made for Xolo 8x-1000 which is a very similar device as mine having the same SOC by replacing certain files with my stock as mentioned in the porting guides. Tried 3 ROMS and none of them booted successfully. It would be a big help if anyone can help me in clearing this blockade of no successful boot.
I would also like to ask for help regarding creating Meta-inf manually for any ROM. :crying::crying:
Well its a easy task to port rom for this device so u should not be facing any difficulty in porting it. I have ported may mm roms for this device and they are working without bugs..
Hi all
I hope I'm posting in the right section
I've a problem in SD card when porting marshmallow mediatek roms; SD card is always showing corrupted when actually it is not.
I tried to replace pq and vold inside bin from stock rom, replaced fstab in boot.img but still not working
My device is infinix hot 2 (Android one) running marshmallow and chipset is mt6580
same issue reported by a rom porter who owns Tecno w4 running marshmallow with the same chipset.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Thanks, but that does not help.
I already know the developers and rom porters of infinix hot 2 and we all are facing this problem, so posting there in the help section is not useful to us, beside that the problem is not device related.
I need an answer from experienced rom porter.
