Yes, I can confirm that SignTool is able to add digital signature information to firmware images. Signed images have an additional header “BFBF” and some fluff which SP Flash Tool checks on a secure device. Apparently some manufacturers merely used the default MTK key for signing the images, making them no better off than a typical insecure MTK device.
So if we are talking about “unlock bootloader”, here on Mediatek it is unlock Preloader. if i see it right.
Is it possible to disable the Signed-key check, thus unlocking, by modding the preloader?
Yes, in theory.
Not just a theory anymore.
No more bricked Mediatek devices.
This genius used the Download Mode [DL] described above as part of his master work.

I need some help.
I just hard bricked my gionee a1 lite while flashing in sp flashtool.
Mistake i did : Unfortunately added the preloader file when trying to install TWRP.
As result my phone is completely hard bricked (ie., not turning on, not even bootloop, no charging logo, and not detected by PC when holding Volume UP button.
Is there any solution ?
Can anyone help me ?
In this case you would most likely have to desolder the flash and program it with an external programmer.
Hey, could You give me any tips regarding DA? My phone is bricked, so I was searching for solution. For now I have successfully performed “handshake” and now I’m testing some commands. Write command doesn’t really have permissions for writing in boot.img range (my guess). So now I’m trying to reverse DA for my device to load it and (not sure) flash correct boot.img? One more question: Is there any dedicated command to enter fastboot mode besides this one in article?
