Just some mtk tool for exploitation, reading/writing flash and doing crazy stuff. For windows, you need to install the stock mtk port and the usbdk driver (see instructions below). For linux, a patched kernel is only needed when using old kamakiri (see Setup folder) (except for read/write flash).
Once the mtk script is running, boot into brom mode by powering off device, press and hold either vol up + power or vol down + power and connect the phone. Once detected by the tool, release the buttons.
- These chipsets use a new protocol called V6 and the bootrom is patched, thus you need a valid da via --loader option.
- On some devices, preloader is deactivated, but you still use it by running "adb reboot edl".
- This only works with UNFUSED devices currently.
- For all devices with DAA, SLA and Remote-Auth activated no public solution currently exists (for various reasons).

- Install normal MTK Serial Port driver (or use default Windows COM Port one, make sure no exclamation is seen)
- Get usbdk installer (.msi) from here and install it
- Test on device connect using "UsbDkController -n" if you see a device with 0x0E8D 0x0003
- Works fine under Windows 10 and 11 :D
Go to the Visual Studio Build Tools [download](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools) page.
Download the installer and run it.
In the installer, select the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
Ensure that the "MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools" (or later) component is selected.
You can also check "Windows 10 SDK" if it’s not already selected.
Click on the "Install" button to begin the installation.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Restart your computer if required.
- For linux (kamakiri attack), you need to recompile your linux kernel using this kernel patch :
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev bison flex libssl-dev libelf-dev libdw-dev
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git
cd pahole && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && sudo make install
sudo mv /usr/local/libdwarves* /usr/local/lib/ && sudo ldconfig
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-`uname -r`.tar.xz
tar xvf linux-`uname -r`.tar.xz
cd linux-`uname -r`
patch -p1 < ../Setup/kernelpatches/disable-usb-checks-5.10.patch
cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make menuconfig
make
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install
- These aren't needed for current ubuntu (as make install will do, just for reference):
sudo update-initramfs -c -k `uname -r`
sudo update-grub
See Setup/kernels for ready-to-use kernel setups
- Reboot
sudo reboot
For the 'basics' you can use the GUI interface. This supports dumping partitions or the full flash for now. Run the following command:
python mtk_gui.py
python mtk.py --stock
python mtk.py script run.exampleSee the file "run.example" on how to structure the script file
- Dump boot and vbmeta
python mtk.py r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
- Reboot the phone
python mtk.py reset
-
Download patched magisk for mtk: Download latest Magisk here
-
Install on target phone
- you need to enable usb-debugging via Settings/About phone/Version, Tap 7x on build number
- Go to Settings/Additional settings/Developer options, enable "OEM unlock" and "USB Debugging"
- Install magisk apk
adb install app-release.apk
- accept auth rsa request on mobile screen of course to allow adb connection
- Upload boot to /sdcard/Download
adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download
- Start magisk, tap on Install, select boot.img from /sdcard/Download, then:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/[displayed magisk patched boot filename here]
mv [displayed magisk patched boot filename here] boot.patched
-
Do the steps needed in section "Unlock bootloader below"
-
Flash magisk-patched boot and empty vbmeta
python mtk.py w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty
- Reboot the phone
python mtk.py reset
- Disconnect usb cable and enjoy your rooted phone :)
Example:
python mtk.py payload --metamode FASTBOOT
Example:
python mtk.py da efuse
- Erase metadata and userdata (and md_udc if existing):
python mtk.py e metadata,userdata,md_udc
- Unlock bootloader:
python mtk.py da seccfg unlock
for relocking use:
python mtk.py da seccfg lock
- Reboot the phone:
python mtk.py reset
and disconnect usb cable to let the phone reboot.
If you are getting a dm-verity error on Android 11, just press the power button, then the device should boot and show a yellow warning about unlocked bootloader and then the device should boot within 5 seconds.

- Device has to be in bootrom mode and preloader has to be intact on the device
python mtk.py dumppreloader [--ptype=["amonet","kamakiri","kamakiri2","hashimoto"]] [--filename=preloader.bin]
- Device has to be in bootrom mode, or da mode has to be crashed to enter damode
- if no option is given, either kamakiri or da will be used (da for insecure targets)
- if "kamakiri" is used as an option, kamakiri is enforced
- Valid options are : "kamakiri" (via usb_ctrl_handler attack), "amonet" (via gcpu) and "hashimoto" (via cqdma)
python mtk.py dumpbrom --ptype=["amonet","kamakiri","hashimoto"] [--filename=brom.bin]
For to dump unknown bootroms, use brute option :
python mtk.py brute
If it's successful, please add an issue over here and append the bootrom in order to add full support.

- Run the mtk tool with --debugmode. Log will be written to log.txt (hopefully)
- Go to config/brom_config.py
- Unknown usb vid/pids for autodetection go to config/usb_ids.py
