The 1.090 updates on the A202KC, A204KC, and KY-43C most likely also block rooting, but this has not yet been confirmed. A way of bypassing this has been found, but not yet documented on this wiki. Join our discord if you would like the details.
Introduction
Prerequisites:
- Having read, and understood the warning at the beginning of the page.
The rooting process will require a tool called MTKClient, which will facilitate dumping images from the phone, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing the patched images back onto the device.
MTKClient is unfortunately not easily usable on platforms other than Linux, and even on Linux it can be a hassle to set up. Due to this, we have created a Live USB environment with the tool preinstalled and ready to use.
It is highly recommended that you use the live USB as it removes the hassle of setting up MTKClient. If you would like to install MTKClient instead, this wiki does not go through that process at this time. However, you can still use this guide as reference while following the MTKClient usage guide's command syntax.
The rest of this page is a step by step guide for the rooting process.
