I have grown so sick of hacking this god awful proprietary MTK platform, that I refuse to touch it anymore. Any mail containing such a request will be ignored, so don't waste your time and hope on this. Not even if you're willing to pay for it.

Some examples of good reasons to mail me are asking clarification for something explained here, or asking how to find a particular file inside the ROM dump.Īlso, please do not ask me to perform one of these hacks for you. All the essential information I can tell you is already in this page, and more clarification can often be found by using a search engine.
Please do not waste your and my time by mailing me with vague and general questions about how to hack any generic Chinese phone, I won't even reply to such mails. (This practice is called ‘Gongkai’ or 公开 in the bunniestudios article.) In the West, all we can do is use the scarce leaked documents we can find (possibly after translating them), and for the rest it is a matter of tedious reverse engineering. Only within China, there is quite a bit of openness about the hardware even though officially it is all supposed to be confidential. This Hackaday article, as well as this bunniestudios blog post, give a hint at why hacking this platform is so frustrating: the Chinese do their best to keep it a gated community only accessible to Chinese companies.

You cannot just download some easy-to-use app, you cannot really ‘root’ the phone like on Android, and you cannot just edit a few files to make groundbreaking changes. If it is not obvious from the length of the page and the amount of technical terms in the descriptions, hacking these phones is not easy. The hacks focus on watch phones, but the principles are the same for all phones based on the same hardware platform. This page is intended to explain how to hack pre-Android Chinese phones based on the Mediatek MT62xx platform, running the ‘Nucleus’ operating system.
