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.
User: user, Password:user (based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
sudo apt install python3 git libusb-1.0-0 python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo cp Setup/Linux/*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo udevadm control -R
Make sure to reboot after adding the user to dialout/plugdev. If the device
has a vendor interface 0xFF (like LG), make sure to add "blacklist qcaux" to
the "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf".
Install python 3.9 and git
If you install python from microsoft store, "python setup.py install" will fail, but that step isn't required.
WIN+R cmd
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Install normal MTK Serial Port driver (or use default Windows COM Port one, make sure no exclamation is seen)
Get usbdk installer (.msi) from here and install it
Test on device connect using "UsbDkController -n" if you see a device with 0x0E8D 0x0003
Works fine under Windows 10 and 11 :D
For linux (kamakiri attack), you need to recompile your linux kernel using this kernel patch :
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev bison flex libssl-dev libelf-dev libdw-dev
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git
cd pahole && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && sudo make install
sudo mv /usr/local/libdwarves* /usr/local/lib/ && sudo ldconfig
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-`uname -r`.tar.xz
tar xvf linux-`uname -r`.tar.xz
cd linux-`uname -r`
patch -p1 < ../Setup/kernelpatches/disable-usb-checks-5.10.patch
cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make menuconfig
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
python mtk script run.example
See the file "run.example" on how to structure the script file
Dump boot and vbmeta
python mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
Reboot the phone
python mtk reset
Download patched magisk for mtk:
Download 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 w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty
Reboot the phone
python mtk reset
Disconnect usb cable and enjoy your rooted phone :)
Example:
python mtk payload --metamode FASTBOOT
Example:
python mtk da efuse
Erase metadata and userdata (and md_udc if existing):
python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc
Unlock bootloader:
python mtk da seccfg unlock
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock
Reboot the phone:
python mtk 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.
Dump boot partition to filename boot.bin via preloader
python mtk r boot boot.bin

Poke memory
python mtk da peek [addr in hex] [data as hexstring or -filename for reading from file]
Read rpmb (Only xflash for now)

If you want to use SP Flash tool afterwards, make sure you select "UART" in the settings, not "USB".
Device has to be in bootrom mode and preloader has to be intact on the device
python mtk 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 dumpbrom --ptype=["amonet","kamakiri","hashimoto"] [--filename=brom.bin]
For to dump unknown bootroms, use brute option :
python mtk brute
If it's successful, please add an issue over here and append the bootrom in order to add full support.

For dxcc, you need to use plstage instead of stage
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
