# MTKClient
![Logo](mtkclient/gui/images/logo_256.png)

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.

## MT6781, MT6789, MT6855, MT6886, MT6895, MT6983, MT8985
- 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).

    Click on the "Install" button to begin the installation.
    Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
    Restart your computer if required.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Use kamakiri (optional, only needed for mt6260 or older)

- 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
```


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Usage

### Using MTKTools via the graphical user interface:
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
```

### Using stock mtk functionality without exploits :
```
python mtk.py --stock
```

### Run multiple commands
```bash
python mtk.py script examples/run.example
```
or
```
python mtk.py multi "cmd1;cmd2"
```
See the file "[run.example](https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/blob/main/examples/run.example)" on how to structure the script file

### Using in on venv
Basically, you created a venv folder, so you need to use it to python find the right packages, and don't have any conflicts
```
. ~/.venv/bin/activate
```
You should see something like this...
```
(.venv) [user@hostname]$ 
```
This means you are on venv folder!

* Example comands below...

```
./mtk.py r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
./mtk.py payload
./mtk.py reset
```
or simply
```
mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
mtk payload
mtk reset
```

### Root the phone (Tested with android 9 - 12)

1. Dump boot and vbmeta
```
python mtk.py r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
```

2. Reboot the phone
```
python mtk.py reset
```

3. Download patched magisk for mtk:
Download latest Magisk [here](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/latest)

4. 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

5. Upload boot to /sdcard/Download
```
adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download
```

6. 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
```

7. Do the steps needed in section "Unlock bootloader below"

8. Flash magisk-patched boot and disable verity + verification on vbmeta
```
python mtk.py da vbmeta 3
python mtk.py w boot boot.patched
```

9. Reboot the phone
```
python mtk.py reset
```

10. Disconnect usb cable and enjoy your rooted phone :)


### Boot to meta mode via payload

Example:

```
python mtk.py payload --metamode FASTBOOT
```

### Dump preloader
```
mtk.py r preloader preloader.bin --parttype boot1
```

### Dump serialnumber / special partition
```
mtk.py r preloader preloader.bin --parttype boot2
```

### Read efuses

Example:

```
python mtk.py da efuse
```

### Unlock bootloader

1. Erase metadata and userdata (and md_udc if existing):
```
python mtk.py e metadata,userdata,md_udc
```

2. Unlock bootloader:
```
python mtk.py da seccfg unlock
```
for relocking use:
```
python mtk.py da seccfg lock
```

3. 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.


### Read flash

Dump boot partition to filename boot.bin via preloader

```
python mtk.py r boot boot.bin
```

Dump boot partition to filename boot.bin via bootrom

```
python mtk.py r boot boot.bin [--preloader=Loader/Preloader/your_device_preloader.bin]
```


Dump preloader partition to filename preloader.bin via bootrom

```
python mtk.py r preloader preloader.bin --parttype=boot1 [--preloader=Loader/Preloader/your_device_preloader.bin]
```

Read full flash to filename flash.bin (use --preloader for brom)

```
python mtk.py rf flash.bin
```

Read full flash to filename flash.bin (use --preloader for brom) for IoT devices (MT6261/MT2301):

```
python mtk.py rf flash.bin --iot
```

Read flash offset 0x128000 with length 0x200000 to filename flash.bin (use --preloader for brom)

```
python mtk.py ro 0x128000 0x200000 flash.bin
```

Dump all partitions to directory "out". (use --preloader for brom)

```
python mtk.py rl out
```

Show gpt (use --preloader for brom)

```
python mtk.py printgpt
```


Mount the flash as a filesystem

```
python mtk.py fs /mnt/mtk
```

### Write flash
(use --preloader for brom)

Write filename boot.bin to boot partition

```
python mtk.py w boot boot.bin
```

Write filename flash.bin as full flash (currently only works in da mode)

```
python mtk.py wf flash.bin
```

Write all files in directory "out" to the flash partitions

```
python mtk.py wl out
```

write file flash.bin to flash offset 0x128000 with length 0x200000 (use --preloader for brom)

```
python mtk.py wo 0x128000 0x200000 flash.bin
```

### Erase flash

Erase boot partition
```
python mtk.py e boot
```

Erase boot sectors
```
python mtk.py es boot [sector count]
```

### DA commands:

Peek memory
```
python mtk.py da peek [addr in hex] [length in hex] [optional: -filename filename.bin for reading to file]
```

Poke memory
```
python mtk.py da poke [addr in hex] [data as hexstring or -filename for reading from file]
```

Read rpmb (Only xflash for now)
```
python mtk.py da rpmb r [will read to rpmb.bin]
```

Write rpmb [Currently broken, xflash only]
```
python mtk.py da rpmb w filename
```

Generate and display rpmb1-3 key
```
python mtk.py da generatekeys
```

Unlock / Lock bootloader
```
python mtk.py da seccfg [lock or unlock]
```

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Bypass SLA, DAA and SBC (using generic_patcher_payload)
``
python mtk.py payload
``
If you want to use SP Flash tool afterwards, make sure you select "UART" in the settings, not "USB".

### Dump preloader
- 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]
```

### Dump brom
- 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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Crash da in order to enter brom

```
python mtk.py crash [--vid=vid] [--pid=pid] [--interface=interface]
```

### Read memory using patched preloader
- Boot in Brom or crash to Brom
```
python mtk.py peek [addr] [length] --preloader=patched_preloader.bin
```

### Run custom payload

```
python mtk.py payload --payload=payload.bin [--var1=var1] [--wdt=wdt] [--uartaddr=addr] [--da_addr=addr] [--brom_addr=addr]
```

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Stage2 usage
### Run python mtk.py stage (brom) or mtk plstage (preloader)

#### Run stage2 in bootrom
``
python mtk.py stage
``

#### Run stage2 in preloader
``
python mtk.py plstage
``

#### Run stage2 plstage in bootrom
- Boot in Brom or crash to Brom
```
python mtk.py plstage --preloader=preloader.bin
```

### Use stage2 tool


### Leave stage2 and reboot
``
python stage2.py reboot
``

### Read rpmb in stage2 mode
``
python stage2.py rpmb
``

### Read preloader in stage2 mode
``
python stage2.py preloader
``

### Read memory as hex data in stage2 mode
``
python stage2.py memread [start addr] [length]
``

``
python stage2.py memwrite [start addr] --data [data as hexstring]
``

### Write memory from file in stage2 mode
``
python stage2.py memwrite [start addr] --filename filename.bin
``

### Extract keys
``
python stage2.py keys --mode [sej, dxcc]
