So we can port 2.3.5. and 2.3.7 roms, correct?

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Correct. :P

[Guest Coffer52]

Wow, cool!

[Guest hugobosslives]

cheers man. will definitely have a look in into this when i have some time

[Guest razzmataz1478]

I'm going to give it a go when I've finished downloading from a site that virgin have already blocked on windows.

What kernel does it use?

Edited May 2, 2012 by razzmataz1478

[Guest XMasterNinni]

It depends on which ROM you use as base...

The tool changes the whole boot.img, so, if you port a 2.3.5 ROM it uses the Stock Kernel.

I'll add some tips on how to get things working after porting in post #3 later... ;)

Ah...

If you have a Skate, put the Blade ROM into Skate/port_rom.

Let the base_rom folder as it is.

And read the readme first, there's an importanant note!

[Guest razzmataz1478]

I have no luck wth this so far, it just keeps creating a zip with a boot.img and a system placeholder

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Did you first start the tool, then extract the ROM you want to port to Skate/port_rom and finally continue?

[Guest sacat]

hello all

sorry fom my english

i don't have any experience but i would try :

i have an original rom from a zte blade s which support eap-sim protocol. If i port this rom into a zte skate, could eap sim protocol be enabled in skate rom?

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Did you first start the tool, then extract the ROM you want to port to Skate/port_rom and finally continue?

I guess this is the right way to go about doing it?

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Yes

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Yes

I think you should make a video guide.

I get different responses every time from terminal.

i

And I have to download skatie wverytime I do it.

hi

i want to port this blade rom : free_romT2 to a zte skate phone

what i have done

1) i installed cygwin : ok

2) i extract the portingtool archive to Cygwin/home/your_user_name : ok

3) i start Cygwin, then type "cd portingtool", then type "./portingtool.sh" (if you type only ./portingtool it doesnt work) : ok

then in cygwin

i choose 1 - portingtools

b - zte skate

a - continue

a - android 2.3.5

i unzipped free_romT2 to \portingtool\Skate\port_rom\

and now i have to download the zte skate 2.3.5 rom (skatie rom) i don't understand why have i to download a skate rom

i download it : ok

then i choose in cygwin

a- continue

and then "Your zip is here: /Skate/port_rom/port.zip Just flash the zip in a Recovery"

but it seem to be a porting of skatie rom not porting blade rom ???

Can you take a look at \portingtool\Blade and \portingtool\Skate

in \portingtool\blade there is 3 files "download_2.3.5~", "extract_files_2.3.5~" and "first_step_2.3.5~"

but no file in \portingtool\Skate

thanks

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Hi.

Why do you think, that its a Skatie Port?

I used the ROM Skatie by C3C0 as the 2.3.5 base_rom.

It should be definitly the "free_romT2" port.

Have you already flashed it?
