hey, yuweng,

i used this to update CTR 2.4 to 2.5 for my phone and it worked great... now that CTR 2.7 is out, are you planning on releasing a new port tool, or are we to use the same procedure? will it work the same? i know i should just try it, but i'm feeling lazy , so i thought i'd just ask.

its so obvious & still you don't get it . . .

Step 1 - Download compatible CTRv2.5 according to your MTK filesystems
Step 2 - Unpack Step 1 & copy out the res folder & recovery binary
Step 3 - Unpack the working CTRv2.4 that you ported earlier & follow below Step 3

Mt6572.....i think it uses ubifs for system.....so, changing boot or Recovery can kill the device....

When said "CTR 2.7 is out" do you emna "Carliv recovery 2. & 3.0" is out?
Please take care that with device with Android 4.2.x you can use MTKDroid to generate on the fly the recovery for tour device startingfrom Carliv Recovery 2.7 base with the resolution of your device.

I have tried mtkdroid tools to add cmw to my mtk8389 device successfuly but I prefer this one or twrp. How can I do it I am on 4.4.2

Hi Master,
I have a chinese s3 clone with mtk 6575 on ICS4.0.4 (480X*800 resolution). Whenever i run the tool it says that you can only port this on mtk chipset. I have tried manually as well as auto, same error. Even MTK TWRP.exe doesn't work
I have CWM5.5.0 installed through MTKDroid tool but cannot get these to work for the device.
I have read through the posts and have tried from V1.4, 2.2 & even 2.4 but get the same error.
Can someone please help on this, iv attached the stock boot & recovery.img files
Is there any way i can do it?
Thnx

Ok, now I am frustrated.

I have LG l50 D213N and I want to port recovery with your porter CRT 1.4
the problem is that ADB shell is WORKING(I have checked this in CMD with adb shell command)
but your porter is saying that adb is not working.
How the program even tries to detect if adb is working or not?

I wrote here because a section for zenfone 2 laser doesn't exist, and I need some dev help me..
Sorry.

 

[bovirus]

@ 96DANGER96
AIt's a simole but basic ruule for any thread/forum: also if there is no a section, is not a good reason to make an OT in other place.
You cannor ask here about an argument that is OT (mediatek is OK - others are OT).
Please open a thread with your specific request and don't post here fabout OT argument.

Notice to annoying n00bs & newbies

Most of your questions are already answered on this thread so pls read it...

1) Either your MTK is still ro.secure=1 then use this method here then EXIT/ CLOSE it first then re-start the porting tool...

2) i've already put in alot of error checking to make sure this porting tool works, either the Auto or Manual port, it will leave behind Ported-CTR folder then manually install it via SPFT when it fail to auto install.... Most probably why it fail to install is b'cos you use SuperSu did you bother to look at your MTK device & grant access to Root Shell... There has been cases where the stock recovery is already corrupted then this tool will also port a corrupted CTR too. Re-install your stock 3e recovery.img & make sure you can boot into it then only use the porting tool again or just use the manual port... The differences is Auto will upload whatever recovery already at your device be it older CWM or TWRP & it will repack it with CTR ramdisk. While Manual will use whatever at your stock 3e -> factory_init.project.rc, meta_init.modem.rc, ueventd.rc & etc... Refer to this by Master Shifu carliv... :good: This tool has no log b'cos it is actually a simple copy & paste program, thats what it actually do.... :laugh:

3) Pls bear in mind that this porting tool has been downloaded by many & confirmed working BUT i can't guarantee that it will work flawlessly on your MTK device so continue trying & report back the solution if you found one...

4) This has been mentioned many times on this thread, if you really can't get it to work then don't just say your porting tool doesn't work...

Instead list out everything then it'll be easier to trouble-shoot
a) What OS you are using on the PC & your MTK...
b) Did you disable UAC & Anti-Virus on your PC
c) Did you execute the porting tool at C:\ drive if you're using XP else then at your Desktop READ what the porting tool says & it will ask you to wait then wait for it to continue without pressing the OK button...

As said many times, this porting tool uses Russian Master Shifu Michfood Repack Utils Huge Credits to him, it is actually DOS program with cygwin dll working at the back so all DOS limitation still applies such as it will ONLY operate properly when it is executed at the Desktop on latest OS... Tested working on XP to 8.1

As much info as possible then it'll be easy to identify where it goes wrong & did you bother to read 5 to 10 pages from the back then you would have know what is the latest story...

Last but not least, i didn't compile CTR so any features not working / bugs found pls report it here BUT again, read the whole thread first as most already answered at that thread...

Q&A

1) Touch not working, refer to here...
2) MTK Alcatel devices refer to here & here... Supported on CTRv2.4
3) All MTK devices supported except this...
4) Inverted screen solutions -> Compile your own
5) CTRv2.5

Can I use this method to port CTR to my KitKat device?

Thank you for the reply!

I have already tried to use the recovery.img I extracted from my device (the modified one with CWM 5.x, the size is 6MB) and use it with michfood-Port-CWM-6.0.3.0-BM.
The whole procedure completes successfully but the resulting recovery.img is 6.04MB and I can't use it with SP Flash Tool because it's too large and will overlap.
What am I doing wrong here?

@MiLToS_666

Sorry but can you help me to find a link where can I download michfood-Port-CWM-6.0.3.0-BM?
Thanks.
