Things you need :
- CarlivImage Kitchen : This is needed to unpack and repack the recovery (it will unpack any type of recovery)
- Stock boot.img and recovery.img
- A little time and patience
- Carliv Touch Recovery (Download the recovery for your resolution)
Note : You can use port any recovery but make sure the resolution and chipset matches
How To :
- Rename stock recovery.img to stock_recovery.img and port recovery.img as port-recovery.img
- Just drag the recoveries in the .bat file in CarlivImage Kitchen and it will unpack them.
- Replace from stock to port :
* meta_init.project.rc
* meta_init.rc
* meta_init.modem.rc
* ueventd.rc
* ueventd.goldfish.rc
* fstab
* /etc/recovery.fstab
* replace kernel
* kernel_header (depends on the tool you used)
Note : Repack and test the recovery, whether it boots or not. After done unpack the new recovery and make the following changes
- Compare default.prop of stock and port and only change the following lines (colored in red)
That's it you are good to go now. Hope you were able to port the recovery successfully.
Note : Please do not report minor bugs like USB storage not mount in PC from recovery. You can easily push files to sdcard if you mount it in recovery (not USB storage) and then push it via adb.
Some useful adb commands which are important and will help you to send files to sdcard while in recovery mode : http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/10/windows-guide-for-adb-mtk.html
