• Now find the lines starting with mount (There can be more than 1) ... Now Compare these mount lines of Port Rom with Stock Rom ... NOTE :- Only Compare if they both have same mount type which means there should same matching like /system or /data on both sides ... In the below picture I am comparing only /system mount line ...For most of the time the word mmcblk0p5 or mmcblk06 or mmcblk07 is different so replace the last number of your Stock rom's updater script to Port Rom's Updater Script
  
• Now Compare the same with /data mount line ...
