A Python utility for exploiting, reading, and writing flash memory on MediaTek (MTK) smartphones via the BootROM or preloader. It supports many chipsets, includes a GUI, and can unlock, repair, and dump devices.

Use cases

  • read and write flash on a mediatek phone
  • unlock bootloader on mtk device
  • repair a bricked mediatek smartphone
  • dump firmware from an mtk phone
  • exploit mediatek bootrom to bypass security
  • flash custom firmware to mtk device

When to choose

  • you need low-level access to a MediaTek device's flash or bootrom
  • you want to repair or unbrick an MTK-based phone
  • you need to dump or write firmware partitions on supported chipsets

When to avoid

  • your device uses a Qualcomm or other non-MediaTek chipset
  • you need an official, warranty-safe flashing method
  • your chipset's patched V6 bootrom lacks a suitable loader file
