Many have faced this problem while using a new phone (Lollipop, Marshmallow and later) with MTKDroid Tools.

Here is the issue - MTKDROID ships with an older version of ADB. (The program hasn't been updated for a few years but it still works.)

This ADB cannot recognize the newer phones. So the obvious solution is to replace the older adb.exe from the 'adb' folder of MTKDroid Tools. But MTKDroid recognizes this and refuses to start, showing us the 'It is impossible to start ADB' error.

I have made a workaround which starts MTKDroid with the older adb and immediately when it finds everything to be OK, replaces it with a newer one. It worked for me. So I hope it will for you too.

Download the zip in attachment.

Instructions.

Goto your MTKDroid/adb folder and delete everything in it.

Open the zip file you have downloaded with winrar or 7zip or anything.

Inside the zip file, there will be 8 files. Copy all these files to the adb folder.

Now you can double click StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat and press enter to start MTKDroid Tools. A few black console windows will come and ask you to wait 10 seconds (this is to make sure MTKDroid is loaded completely), wait and don't worry it will close itself when the work is done.

There you go problem fixed and MTKDroid is ready for your command!

NOTE: This fix will help you to start MTKDroidTools and use it to create a scatter file for flashing and backup purposes with SPFlash tool. From what I learned, you can't use this to root your phone unless you enable the temporary root shell from Engineering Mode.

To do that, open your phone dialer, dial *#*#3646633#*#* .

Swipe left to reach Log and Debugging section, there select user2root, in it enable root shell and now connect your phone using the above method.

This method is not guaranteed to work on every phones out there and I still recommend flashing SuperSU the old fashioned way.

Please reply back with any of your troubles or suggestions.

Hi, Thank you for posting this I was disappointed when the tool did not work. But thanks to you it's working now and I can do my surgery xD
[Android General] GuestK00286:
I hope it lives.. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] DMcRitchie:
Thanks so much, Adithya! This was a life-saver. I had spent over a day trying to get MTKDroidTools to work and only now found your post!

I have a new Nook tablet (BNTV450). This runs Marshmallow and the adb v31 included with MTKDroidTools 2.5.0 could not connect with it, as you reported. (BTW, I'm using 2.5.0 because 2.5.1-2.5.3 have a malware built in. androidmtk.com says not to worry about the malware (!) but my anti-virus reports it as w32.malware.heur which is quite serious. Anyway, these later versions of MTKDroidTools also use adb v31.)

I did need to make one small change due to a race condition: I added a 2 second delay between the call to run startup.bat and the call to run MTKDroidTools. So this section of StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat now reads:

start Startup.bat

timeout 2

cd..

start MTKdroidTools.exe

Without this on my Windows 10 PC, MTKDroidTools starts too quickly and picks up the newer version of adb even though startup.bat had just replaced it. The 2 second delay allows MTKDroidTools to find the old version reliably.

So thanks again for this! Really helpful!

Best,

Dennis
[Android General] GuestK00286:
You're welcome. :)

I have included the changes you suggested.

Also I found this on stackoverflow which might help on w32.mal.heur detections.

Since the nature of the tool is indeed a hack itself your AV might be showing a false positive.

Still it's all up to you to decide.

All the very best.
[Android General] GuestK00286:
Post updated.

Added a 2 sec delay to call MTKDroidTools. (Thanks [MENTION=7948405]DMcRitchie[/MENTION])

Added a guide on rooting.
[Android General] Divergent Droid:
This doesn't work for me. I used to Only get the phone not recognized error now, after copying over the 8 new files to my now empty ADB folder, I get the error that says Impossible to start ADB.

I'm using a Figo Atrium upgraded from Lollipop to Mashmallow using the SP Flash Tool. All I'm trying to do now it root the device, I don't need a custom rom. Using MTK Droid Tools version 2.5.3

Edit: Fixed it. I had to turn off then back on UBS Debugging, simply revoking the USB did not work. It's seeing my device now but says it can't root my device and sends me to an html page with lots more instructions. The tool tells me my device can be rooted this way. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 Grrr.. time to spend days jumping through more hoops.
[Android General] GuestK00286:
This was supposed to fix the 'impossible to start error'. You shouldn't have used it if you were not facing that issue.

Don't worry you can just redownload MTK Droid Tools to fix that.

As for rooting, MTK Droid Tools CAN NOT ROOT phones newer than kitkat. Your best bet is to flash a custom recovery and flashing super su.

This guide is for those people who can't use SP Flash Tools because they need a scatter file which MTK Droid Tools can't make for newer androids.

All the best. :)
[Android General] Divergent Droid:
Thanks.

You gave me the most detailed answer so far. I got the info to use MTK Droid Tools from a website claiming it will work for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. That's why I tried it. If you are very knowledgeable about rooting in general, perhaps you'll answer my other thread asking someone to help me understand these things better. it seems according to you, i would be able to flash a new rom and SuperSU? See my other post and answer there. https://xdaforums.com/general/help/guru-to-discuss-rooting-t3683594 - I did try the folks at the SuperSU sub forum and they cant help me.

When i connect Infinix Note 4 Pro X571 (bricked) to pc for Mtk to detect, it just boots to recovery mode (twrp)

Great fix but I still have a problem, I only have the hardware and baseband detected nothing else, so I can not save.

I jumped over from the Samsung S7 Edge which had a wifi calling quick settings tile for Nougat.....Is there a way to add one without root? Or an app that has a widget for it?

Or a way to add a home screen button through Nova Launcher?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] timoseewho:
hey guys, i recently purchased a 3T, my first 1+, loving it so far. with me living in China and all i naturally purchased the Chinese version (which comes with Hydrogen) to get access to Chinese apps, which is fine and all for now, but i'm noticing a few things i'm not sure that are specific to Hydrogen or the Chinese variant of it

1. i currently don't have a dock (the bottom part where the phone, messaging, email apps normally go), is this normal?

2. is there a way to enable the notification badge count (that little number next to apps displaying unread notifications)?

3. i'm not a fan of default app icons;\, how would i go about getting an icon pack? my last China phone was a Xiaomi and they were nice enough to have a store dedicated just for themes/app icons

hopefully someone who has experience with the Chinese version can chime in:D

thanks

Hey everyone, I've been looking to update my Galaxy S5 AT&T from PH1 to QA1 (I want the most recent release, before they fixed the GPS spoof loophole) but I have yet to find the update to go from PH1 to PH2, or even the Odin3 image for QA1.

I'd like to not lose everything on my device, but at this point, I'll do whatever I need to.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] martyxng:
I use Straight Talk (AT&T sim) in the US. I am looking to get a phone I can install a custom rom on. (Still researching which rom). Since the carrier-specific models of the S7/edge are about $100-200 less used, is there any reason NOT to get a carrier specific model?

Since I'm installing a custom rom, all carrier bloatware would be gone. Wouldn't this effectively be the same as the unlocked model, maybe without international capabilities which I probably wouldn't need anyway.

Is the AT&T model the only one that would work on Straight Talk (AT&T sim)? I'm looking for the cheapest variant that will work.

Thank you.

Wouldn't the US unlocked version work? SM-G930U

The unlocked part refers to its ability to be used on any carrier, nothing to do with the bootloader, its still locked like all the other snapdragon phones.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FallenArchangel7:
Hello, I have a Exynos S7 running on Nougat, and I'm getting ready to install TWRP. However I'm trying to find a way to make encryption work on a rooted device, so I need to restore the original recovery image after I root and everything. Where can I find the .img? I read somewhere that TWRP will make a backup of it, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I've also looked online and I haven't found any backups.

I got it to work a very long time ago on a previous S7 running Marshmallow, but that's been a long time and I don't remember how I did it, I just remember that I used CF AutoRoot for the rooting process.

I know I won't be able to use systemless root, but theres nothing I can do about that.

Did not work for me though it boots a little further. Installed new TWRP, rebooted recovery, installed new multirom, deleted old secondary LOS 15.1, added a new ROM with latest LOS15.1, installed also microg and booted that new ROM. Went until new Google white splash screen, then device rebooted on its own to recovery. Copied the logs, here they are.

Will try without microg.

Oh I have crdroid Oreo as internal with magisk, crdroid nougat as secondary

I'm having this same issue still on a different phone with a different SD card. During multirom system boot, ROMs installed on internal phone storage show on the internal tab in the boot menu and boot fine, and ROM installed on an external USB stick can be found in the external tab and booted into, but any ROM installed on the removeable SD card inside the phone will not show as an option to boot, although it can be fully managed from within TWRP. Which tab should those ROMs be on, and any idea how to make them show up?

Internal ROM(RR pie) boots without any issues but when I select any other ROM(tried many) I get kernel is not seandroid enforcing warning at the top and gets stuck. Why is that happening?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] afaneh92:
Are you on 20180514 build?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mouyahama:
yes I am on the latest build 20180514 but I still I always get at the top on boot the following

2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)

3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)

then It stays like this forever when I boot to the secondary ROM

I tried enabling no-kexec but doesn't work. I did a run restorecon and inject bootsector twice didn't help also.

I even tried to switch roms so here is what I got

Primary ROM (Liege OS 15.1 - latest build)

Secondary ROM (RR Pie - latest build)

Is there any kernel recommendation to get this thing to work?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] afaneh92:
The warning are ok, can you enable multirom logs and upload them to me?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mouyahama:
Sorry I made a mistake earlier... the warning says

KERNEL

IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

I have attached below all the logs you might need:

- Recovery logs

- Multirom (from multirom-klogs)

by the way in Multirom boot screen when I click "copy logs to sd" it fails
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] afaneh92:
I think its kernel issue, I will make more tests when I got the device in my hand!

I think data on pie are read only, that why it fail to boot.

Log path is not correct will fix it soon.

Next build will fix SEANDROID ENFORCING warning.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mouyahama:
Can't wait for the next build!

I think it's worth mentioning that I have tried all of the below ROMs and kernels but none of them worked as a secondary ROM only the internal boots everytime:
