ZTE Porting Tool

Easy ROM Porting for everyone

***************************************************************************************************************

What the hell is this?

The ZTE Porting Tool is a tool that makes it easy

to port ROMs between ZTE Devices (currently only ZTE Skate <-> ZTE Blade)

Easy, Fast and Simple to use.

What do I have to do?

With this script, you just have to obtain the ROM you want to port.

This Tool automatically downloads the ROM  you need as base and unzips it.

Just follow the instructions.

******************************************************************************************************************

Supported Devices

-> ZTE Blade

ZTE Skate will follow soon!

Devices, you can port from...

-> ZTE Skate

-> ZTE Crescent

-> Other devices with armv6 chip

-> HDPI recommend

******************************************************************************************************************

Install Instructions

(Tested on Ubuntu 11.10!)

Just download the tar.gz file and unpack it to your home directory.

You should now have a folder called "portingtool".

Go inside the folder and double-click on the portingtool.sh file to start it,

or open it using a terminal.

Follow the instructions

Done!

Or just read the readme inside the tool. lol

Important Notice

<<First start the tool, then extract the ROM you want to port.>>

nice, looking good and sounds interesting. good luck

[ironzy]

looks interesting, what does it need to run? java and the android sdk?

[XMasterNinni]

It just needs a certain Linux OS. (I recommend Ubuntu.)

May work with Windows & Cygwin.

[XMasterNinni]

Link Now UP!

Enjoy, and don't forget to search for bugs! (There are some, I know it.. )

[ironzy]

[XMasterNinni]

As long as they are 2.3.5 or 2.3.7: Yes

But I'm currently porting Skatie, so that ROM is mine!

Could you tell me a bit more about how the script works? Thanks

[XMasterNinni]

Hmmh...

Do you mean the tool at all or the scripts?
Because there are instructions in the tool too...

[XMasterNinni]

Yap thats ok.

Your output is in /Blade/port_rom/Port.zip

Just flash it in CWM!

Will add better "finish" in next release!

Edited by XMasterNinni, 29 April 2012 - 02:26 PM.

[Loren82]

port within the zip folder are the Meta-if the boot.img file and a file system, with this system I do?.

Sorry, so many questions, but I've never used linux, thanks

Just stick my files within the zip port.zip and the rom I have chosen to carry and I substitute?

Edited by Loren82, 29 April 2012 - 03:05 PM.

[XMasterNinni]

Wait... a file called system or a directory??

Are you sure you followed the instructions well?

And did you choose Android 2.3.5 in the tool?

Edited by XMasterNinni, 29 April 2012 - 03:14 PM.

[Loren82]

is a file, should be a folder?

[XMasterNinni]

Yeah...

Also tried it with AtomicMod, and it worked...

Are you sure you unzipped the original AtomicMod to the port_rom folder?

[Loren82]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 at Virtualbox, unzip the rom AtOmIcMod-ICS-STYLE-BETA-2 and the files inside the folder I put own_rom, then open the program, choose the blade, which is not then if the rom is a 2.3.7 or 2.3.5

[Loren82]

It is important that the folder is in portingtool somewhere special?, I have it in thedownloads folder, ah, if I choose 2.3.7 does not create anything and removes files from the own_rom
