[4.2.2][Update] SillyKat Custom ROM For MT6572

Silly OS For MT6572

SillyKat is an aftermarket ROM for MT6572 Jellybean devices. This is the best ROM for those who want performance, power and features. This ROM has many features and is like an AOSP ROM for MT6572 devices. I completely recommend this ROM for all MT6572 users, you will be using this ROM for a long long time and there will probably be many more versions of this ROM. This ROM is like Mystic OS for Jellybean users.

[6.0.1][BETA][SNAPSHOT] CyanogenMod 13 For MT6592

CyanogenMod 13 For MT6592

CM 13 for MT6592 is an aftermarket ROM based on Android Marshmallow. CM 13 for MT6592 is now more stable compared to it's first build. This is also the latest Snapshot build of Cyanogenmod 13. To know what's working and what's not working, look for it down below. ROM is really really smooth and has Multiwindow as well. Overall, this ROM can be used for testing and maybe also as a daily driver if you do not want Camera and Bluetooth
Note : This ROM can be ported to any MT6592 device running Android Kitkat 4.4.x with kernel 3.4.67

If you want to port this ROM and share then please give the link of original post along with proper credits ! http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/03/stable-beta-cyanogenmod-13-for-mt6592.html

Notes :
1) My only request is that do not at any cost forget to give proper credits. All credits are mentioned below
2) It only takes a few minutes to steal the ROM but it will take you months to request the developers to start working on development again. Many devs stopped working and sharing their codes just because of kanging and I do not want that to happen again.
3) CM 13 could have become more stable till now if it weren't for kangers who forced the devs to stop their work.

[Guide] Backup/Restore MTK 64 Bit Devices

Recently the new MTK 64 Bit devices like the new MT6795, MT6752, MT6595, MT6753 are becoming famous and more and more people are using. But today I will show you how to backup MT6795, MT6752, MT6595, MT6753. This is really easy and a fast process.
You cannot use MTK Droid Tools to backup your MTK 64 Bit device because MTK Droid Tools is outdated and doesn't support the new 64Bit architecture. So the method will be a little complicated but I have got you covered with a video guide.

Things You Need :
- ADB Installed In Your PC : Guide, Click Here
- Everything else you need is in the the Guide
- MTK Droid Tools : Download, Click Here
How To :

- Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the smartphone
- Make Sure You have followed the Things To Do Section
- Press Windows Button + R
- Type CMD
- Press Enter and Command Prompt will Open
a) Type ADB Devices to see if your phone is detected
b) type adb shell df and determine the biggest partition
c) note down the path of the biggest partition
d) check the code below and replace path with your path. Use external sd if possible.
use those ADB commands to backup every single image :

ADB Code :
adb shell mkdir -p /storage/sdcard0/SPFT

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/preloader.bin bs=512c count=512 skip=4"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/boot.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/cache of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/cache.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/lk of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/lk.bin"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/logo of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/logo.bin"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/recovery of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/recovery.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/secro of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/secro.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/system.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/userdata of=/storage/sdcard0/SPFT/userdata.img"

If you get read only error then use these commands :

- mount -o rw,remount rootfs /

- chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard

Note : Change /mnt/sdcard/ with your own SD card path

After this reboot with ADB command "reboot" without "" or exit and manual reboot.
You should now have your images in a folder called SPFT on your smartphone.
