For Cross Porting Only (mediatek)  :  (ignore it if you are porting from same sock )

Open init.rc with Notepad++ and press CTRL + F
And write down your port rom's chipset  version .
If you are porting a rom from 6592 to 6582
Then search with "6592" and replace them with 6582 . Then save it .

Now It's time to repack your Boot.img .

Write down or copy-paste this code to CMD and press Enter

bootimg.exe --repack-bootimg

You are done !! You will get a file called " boot-new " . This is your patched boot.img .
