[GUIDE] [MTK] How to use MTKClient and set it up!
- Thread starter Sidharth09
- Start date
Google search "how install magisk without twrp". Watch some of the video and you will get a better understanding of the steps.
I make a typo and it should be:
- For AB slot: python mtk r boot_a boot_a.bin
- For AB slot: python mtk r boot_b boot_b.bin
Copy is the same as transfer. You simply copy files between the PC and your phone. The internatl storage is the built-in storage and external storage is the SD card if you have one.
The vbmeta.img is use for unlocking bootloader. Magisk only needs the boot.img.
Good luck.

so did you manage to root your device? can you tell me the exact steps to root it?
did you like nextract the boot.bin from the device using mtk client or you downloaded a spare firmware?
can you please provide your phone's build number as well as the download link for the stock rom? thank you
edit: im going to use the build number to compare it to mine. also is your cpu named "MT6769V/CZ"???

The same, if the issue is at software level, it could work, you don`t harm in trying it.11
If you want to use mtk_gui, use mtk client gui 2.0 (it is already configured)1 -
11So most of you probably don't know what mtkclient is. It is basically an exploit which is used to boot any (mtk) phone into BROM mode (basically EDL for mtk)
I am writing this guide especially for the RM6785 community.
This tool is very useful, you can unlock almost any mediatek device using it (brand won't matter), you can write partitions, read partitions, and even erase partitions.
This tool can also get you out of any kind of brick!
Thanks to bkerler for making such an amazing tool!
How to use it?
Well first of all, I will talk about how to install it inside windows, because most of the users here are most likely using windows.
Download the mtkclient folder from here: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Extract it, and open it.
Now it's time to download python.
If you are on windows 11/10, you can download Python directly from the microsoft store, and I recommend you to do it from there.
If you are on windows 8.1 or lower, you will have to download it from the web.
After installing python is complete.
Open the command prompt inside the mtkclient-main folder.
connect to the internet
and type:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
and wait for it to install completely.
This will basically set up mtkclient to perform every command.
(ignore this warning)
So after this command is done, you need to install usbdk.
After you install usbdk, just restart your PC.
So your mtkclient setup is finished now!
Now you can basically do anything with it.
Let me tell you how it works:
For example, if you want to flash something into a partition, you do:
python mtk w *partitionname* *filename*
the w indicates "write"
so for example if i want to flash, lets say boot img.
python mtk w boot *location of the boot img*
in simple words:
python mtk w boot boot.img
to pull a partition from your device:
python mtk r *partitionname* *filename*
the r indicates "read"
you can pull the image as any name that you'd like"
example:
python mtk r vbmeta realme6vbmeta.img
to erase partitions:
python mtk e *partition*
the e indicates "erase
so for example i want to clear my userdata partition
python mtk e userdata
you can also write,flash,erase multiple partitions at once.
for example:
python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
python mtk r dtbo,boot dtbo.img,boot.img
python mtk e metadata,userdata
you can also unlock the bootloader through it:
python mtk da seccfg unlock
so to actually begin the flashing/reading/erasing process, enter the command.
power off your device
hold both of the volume buttons, and quickly connect usb (do not leave the volume buttons until the command is done)
So that is basically how you use it, thanks for reading!
I will make a version for linux users soon!2
Here is a more detail steps.
You need to find out if the Phone is using AB slot or not. For AB slot partitions, you need to know which slot is active and flash accordingly.
- Use Mtkclientand to copy the boot_a.bin.
- For AB slot: python mtk r boot_a boot_a.bin
- For AB slot: python mtk r boot_b boot_b.bin
- For single slot: python mtk r boot boot.bin
- You rename it to boot_a.img
- Copy the boot_a.img to phone's internal storage.
- Install Magisk on the phone.
- Open Magisk app.
- Click the Install button .
- Select the patch the image file option.
- After you patched boot_a.img, copy the patched boot_a.img to the PC.
- Rename the patched boot_a.img to boot_a.bin.
- Use MTKClient to flash it to the boot_a partition.
- For AB slot: python mtk w boot boot.bin
- For AB slot: python mtk w boot_a boot_a.bin
- For single slot: python mtk w boot_b boot_b.bin

You read to your pc from your phone vía mtkclient the boot_a.bin. You then rename it to boot_a.img, then you turn on your phone, move the img to it, install magisk, patch the boot.img, move it to your pc again, rename the patched to *.bin again and flash it to your boot_a partition vía mtkclient.1
for me, i used "adb reboot fastboot" then on the next screen i was able to pick reboot to bootloader mode1
Seems like you didn't install mtkclient properly. If you use windows, make sure you have a valid port driver installed and usbdk working. Also make sure you've installed all needed pip packages as stated in the readme. - Use Mtkclientand to copy the boot_a.bin.
