MTK general root support

[jodge]

Hi
Sometimes we need to root the phones,tabs..etc. Not for unlocking of course just bcsose all other rooting soultion failed.
The root can be done via flash mode (not adb)

So here is a little poll pls support my idea
thx

for MTK and SPD its useless

all operation with cm2 we can do without root

[pradeep_kus]

I dont thing root need its usless for users
Cm2 no need any root right now for do anything!

[jodge]

okay can you pls understand not just reading?

as i sad before

Not for unlocking. Not for unlocking. Not for unlocking.

The reason is simple if your customer paying for rooting NOT FOR UNLOCKING bcose every other tool is failed. And last time again NOT FOR UNLOCKING

If infinity working to remove virus in different cpu,s its team to decide which UNIQUE method to use,But ROOTING ; I DONT THINK SO.

There is no way to make ONE and UNIQUE method for ALL CPU's, expect Android one - via ROOT. In other case - every CPU require OWN ways. In most cases - that idea is dead end.

BTW - here is we talking about other things.

There was 3-5 pcs from this type of phones at my shop in the last two weeks.
Cheap carrier branded MTK based phones. (mostly telenor-orange)
One of my customers make me an offer. 20 usd for just the rooting and why? Bcose every tool including, iroot, vroot, kingoRoot kingroot, 360root...etc is failed. No custom recovery is available.
I dumped the whole firmware. mounted the system.img with a linux machine put the root files and rebuild the system.img. Not for 20 buck just bcose i can do it.
But it was a nightmare

one last thing we have now serious problem with the 5.xx android rooting and the 6.xx is almost impossible (yet) bcose the crypted filesystem. If the rooting is becoming harder or impossible it will be a paying solution..yet just a market gap

In fact - chinese makers not like make anything "encrypted" , because on their buggy customized systems resources enough just to "at least work without serious lags" , encryption make it just one big slow brick.

I think this is not a choice, but who knows they are really smart people

The new Android Compatibility Definition Document for Marshmallow states: If the device implementation supports a secure lock screen… then the device MUST support fulldisk encryption [Resources, 1 32] of the application private data (/data partition), as well as the application shared storage partition (/sdcard partition) if it is a permanent, non-removable part of the device.

For device implementations supporting full-disk encryption and with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) crypto performance above 50MiB/sec, the full-disk encryption MUST be enabled by default at the time the user has completed the out-of-box setup experience. If a device implementation is already launched on an earlier Android version with full-disk encryption disabled by default, such a device cannot meet the requirement through a system software update and thus MAY be exempted.

Encryption MUST use AES with a key of 1 28-bits (or greater) and a mode designed for storage (for example, AES-XTS, AES-CBC-ESSIV). The encryption key MUST NOT be written to storage at any time without being encrypted..

Perfect idea !

If you REALLY want to support new features development you can send sample phones to us.
Thank you very much !
