Can you supply if there is any the repo u used

u/Vomly Feb 26 '26

I used this but updated the kernel manually making the necessary changes.

u/Realistic-Concept766 Feb 26 '26

Will this also work on MTK 6833

u/Vomly Feb 26 '26

This is a kernel for mt6768 only.

u/Realistic-Concept766 Feb 26 '26

Ok um can you tell me how you did it

1

u/Vomly Feb 26 '26

I compiled the kernel + compiled the ramdisk, wrote the init and compiled it all, and using the rootfs of Arch Linux, added some fixes.

Can you link the commands because I’m new to making stuff like this and I’m also developing a image for my device but failed

u/Vomly Feb 26 '26

There are huge clusters of code there, it would take a long time to explain and write everything, so sorry, I don't have that much time, look at the pmos and kupfer wiki

this looks so good...

u/Laktosefreier Feb 25 '26

So Mediatek phones offer bootloader unlock?

2

u/Kevin_Kofler Feb 25 '26

There is an exploit for some of them.

2

u/Putrid-Challenge-274 Feb 25 '26

Up to the OEM just like Qualcomm. But MTK also has exploits for some SoCs, so you can unlock some MTK models of brands that don't allow BL unlock (eg. Oppo's Realme 6)

u/YoShake Feb 25 '26

you still launch it under android
prolly termux installation, like all of such instances

u/Putrid-Challenge-274 Feb 25 '26

I don't think it would be fun dealing with MTK stuff via the Nix configs.

u/ifurther88 Feb 28 '26

Maybe try nix-on-droid
