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.

sudo apt install python3 git libusb-1.0-0 python3-pip
(sudo) pacman -S python python-pip git libusb
or
yay -S python python-pip git libusb
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
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
python mtk script run.exampleSee 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

- 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.

python stage2 keys --mode [sej, dxcc]
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
