I tried these but I stuck on android updating screen, I ported ROM and boot also , what to do now for porting boot successfully???
ReplyDeleteIf it get past the boot screen and shows android is upgrading screen this means boot.img is correct and working fine. In case of wrong boot.img it wont get past the splash screen or boot screen.
DeleteSo in your case it might be a storage problem. Try to fix storage.
But how to fix it??
DeleteMy phone have mt6735m chipset and the ROM which I porting have mt6735p,, how to fix android is upgrading stuck problem??
DeleteOpen both stock and port framework-res.apk with 7zip or any other.
Deletego to res/xm/storage_list.xml and replace the file from stock storage_list.xml
Also replace :-
system/bin/vold
system/bin/sdcard
In Boot.img make sure your system paths are correct. check the files like
boot.img/ramdisk/fstab*** or init.rc and if it contains system path edit them.
Hey I still stuck in the same screen 😞😞
DeleteHere's the link of my port and stock boot.IMG if you can help me...
Okk i'll look at it asap.
DeleteHey can you do something with the boot.img
DeleteHave you edited system mount points in Port boot img's /ramdisk/fstab.goldfish
Deleteedit them according to your stock.

DeleteCan you take a logcat.
DeleteWhen I tried to port cm12.1 ROM of lenovo vibe p1m rom , it stuck in android is upgrading screen but when I port RR ROM of lenovo vibe p1m ROM it successfully boot up without any bug so I think its a error of the cm ROM . now I want to know can I port android marshmallow ROM or cm 13 ROM to my phone Using lollipop as base rom??
DeleteYah that could be a problem of port rom.
DeleteYes you can use ported cm12 rom as a base to port cm13.
I think this is the bootclasspath on mine? Can you confirm?
ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing bootloop.
on early-init
# Set init and its forked children's oom_adj.
write /proc/1/oom_score_adj -1000
# Disable sysrq from keyboard
write /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq 0
# Set the security context of /adb_keys if present.
restorecon /adb_keys
# Shouldn't be necessary, but sdcard won't start without it. http://b/22568628.
mkdir /mnt 0775 root system
# Set the security context of /postinstall if present.
restorecon /postinstall
start ueventd
In this way can i port upgrade version kernel ,For Example MM to Nougat,3,18,19 to Up
