[Tutorial] How to fix MTK orange, yellow & red state warnings
[Tutorial] How to fix MTK orange, yellow & red state warnings
19-03-2022, 11:20 AM
Hello everyone,
I had the same problem than everybody, and with small reverse engineering (Ghidra), I found out the new value, it's :
08B5****7B441B681B680122B, so 08B5****7B441B681B68022B.
The reason is quite simple, it's because the patch prevented a function, which checked if the device could be trusted, from working by making it directly return 0. But, since (probably) Android 10, the function changed a little bit, and the binary code did so (here, it's a variable, 'state', I think, that is compared to 0x02 were it was to 0x01 before).
The same patch works perfectly, so:
If device is less than android 10:
- Dump lk.img, mtkclient works perfectly, but other tools may also work (not for me)
- Locate 08B5****7B441B681B68012B.
- Change the first 6 bytes to 08B5002008BD, so 08B5002008BD1B681B68012B
- Flash lk.img using
Code:
fastboot flash lk lk.imgElse:
- Same
- Locate 08B5****7B441B681B68022B.
- Same, so 08B5002008BD1B681B68022B.
- Same
Since it prevent the function from running, the text (at least for 'Orange state' case) should disappear.

So disabling delay function will also remove orange state warning ? Or both needs to be edited ? Kindly clarify

this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the patch explained here
create a new thread for your device issue by clicking "Ask Question" at the top
You were right, this was not related. Flashing the original lk did not get rid of it.

(09-05-2022, 01:21 PM)hovatekFor what it's worth, on my lk image files, I could not edit the orange / red states as indicated, but I could apply the "5 second delay" patch, and it got rid of the warning at the same time.(07-05-2022, 01:31 PM)Sandeepth So disabling delay function will also remove orange state warning ?

I tried this method and it is not necessary to delete Red State and Orange State, I left both values, they are not displayed.
