* These devices typically use kernel modifications to deter root access via exploits. But this temp root method can still attain root on most of these models in theory. However, I will not be adding support for such non-standard kernels in the main release versions. A tailored version of mtk-su can be made to handle a protected kernel in a specific firmware. This is not something I'm usually motivated to do. But it's possible to make such a version if you can somehow encourage me.
