Mt6789 Auth Bypass Better [extra Quality] [No Survey]

The MT6789 belongs to MediaTek's V6 protocol generation. Unlike older chipsets (V5), the V6 BootROM is patched against the famous "kamakiri" exploit, which previously made authentication bypass easy across many devices .

3. Custom DA Injection via USB Man-in-the-Middle

By hooking the USB handshake between BootROM and the host, one can substitute a signed but benign DA from an older MTK chip (e.g., MT6765) before switching to a patched DA. MT6789 checks only the first DA’s signature, not subsequent ones. mt6789 auth bypass better
