[Tutorial] How To Port Cyanogenmod 10.2 To Your MT6589

[superuser590]

THIS ROM IS NOT MEANT FOR DAILY USE.
What works:
- SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)
- Audio (mic, loudspeaker, headphones)
- most sensors (auto brightness seems to be broken, but sensor works)
- Wifi (not wifi direct)
- candy crush, facebook and twitter

What doesn't work:
- everything else: 2nd sim card, camera, (hw) video decoding, GPS, BT, FM radio, hw composer, rest of MTK specifics.

What you need:
1-winrar or 7zip
2-boot.img unpack & repack tool Download [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
3-cyanogenmod 10.2 from [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
4-cwm recovery to flash the rom

open your stock rom in window and cyanogenmod rom in another window
like this


in cyanogenmod rom open system\lib


then delete modules folder


now copy modules folder from your stock rom to cyanogenmod rom


now copy your stock boot.img to unpack & repack tool and rename stock boot.img to stock.img


then copy cyanogenmod boot.img to unpack & repack tool and rename it to port.img


now drag & drop stock.img into MTK_unpack.bat and do the same to port.img


now you will have two folders open stock in window and port in another window


now copy all files except rmdisk folder from stock to port


now drag & drop port folder to MTK_pack.bat


you will have new file called new_image.img


rename this file to boot.img and copy it to cyanogenmod folder

no need to kk recovery or modified updater-script
now create zip file and copy to your phone and flash it
good luck
