installed it and the Phone was bricked. Preloader rom could fix it.

What? if you flash the device with your rom Preloader you can fix this problem?
I'll examine another way to install the Tesla OS without brick the phone, but if the Preloader of your stock rom unbrick the device... I'll fix, so say your solution!

Can't you use this rom :https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B93fqCUuxz97OTA0dklQdGpqVlk/view?pli=1
to make a working cyanogenmod 12.1 version for the mlais m9? It's the same chipset and it's in cwm format.

took mbr(makes it possible to flash the rom at all time), the preloader(makes the rom boot when installed) from preloader mod rom and your rom works now .

*edit: bluetooth gives an closing error and wifi isn't working yet. Can't enable wifi.

these issues about bluetooth and wifi is normal in first use, you need advance without enable bluetooth, wifi and SIM Card in "First steps" screen, after this and after restore IMEI data, these problems will desappears!

let me hear again: if you flash this firmware without MBR and without preloader of this package, but with stock firmware MBR and preloader files you can make this rom works?

*edit: you can help uploading these files and I will add to rom package

Yes, but the wifi, sim, bluetooth aren't working yet. Can you fix that?

You've restored IMEI?

 

[mark-1978]

yep, there's something with the pincode being wrong entered, but there's no option of re-entering it. The wifi option will show wifi turned on, but there are no routers to be found. The logo on top of the sim doesn't show connection.

very strange, you have the same Mlais M9 with 4.4.2 and with chipset 6592M... and i reinstalled the firmware following the steps. you need change preloader and mbr to make rom works right?

if you replaced the preloader and mbr of stock rom, i think that you need use adb push and copy some files from stock to tesla os rom.

try follow the guide, but use your stock rom files before use mtkrom's files:
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/07/bug-solving-cm-12-for-mtk.html

try upload the changes after you fixed some issues!
I will port the pure CM12.1 BETA6 to Mlais M9 later, i'm if you need another support...

It says something about copying files from etc map from system.img from stock to the cyanogenmod 12.1 rom. However the system.img from your cyanogemod rom seems to be read-only, so i can't copy the files. Can you make it read and write? This should fix the wifi issue.

*edit: copied the files for wifi,bluetooth and sim through es file explorer from the stock to the cyanogenmod 12.1 , but isn't working yet.

before do: adb push
you need do: adb remount first

could just copy the files to the sd card, put the sd card in the Phone and copy them to the data/etc map. Just replace the existing files. Then rebooted the device, but still no wifi. Should be the same result as doing it with adb push like you say. Maybe there still is difference between the kitkat (rom) and the lollipop (rom), incompatiblities i mean.

The selinux are permissive?
You can see in about phone under options menu.

You've do a factory reset and tested again?

Ok, i will split rom and firmware

Okay! I have an idea, i will split the rom and the firmware.
I will upload two files: ROM and the Firmware.
The firmware package will used to flash compatible lollipop scheme in the device.
and the rom package, used to flash the Tesla OS under recovery.

doing this, the issue about read-only rom files can be resolved...
