Hello!
In this thread I want to show you how to use MTK Engineer tools. You will need a phone with a MTK (Mediatek) chip to work with this tools.
The most important tool I want to introduce you is MTK Catcher. MTK Catcher is an engineer program for Windows which allows to log and debug low level information on MTK devices (running android). The most interesting thing is that you can see GSM/UMTS radio messages between the phone and the cellular network. This is something special because all mobile phones have proprietary baseband firmware. We can gain insight in underlying GSM/GPRS protocols. MTK Catcher will display the information like in Wireshark. Xgoldmon and OsmocomBB are other projects which give the possibility to monitor this information but this is by far the user-friendliest way to do this.
However there is more potential behind this. The problem is that everything is proprietary here. It would be great if we could parse all information direct on the phone with MTK Catcher. We need to reverse engineer how MTK Catcher decodes the information using the database files. If we can analyze low level data direct on the phone, we could use e.g. this information for our IMSI Catcher Detector project to detect IMSI Catchers aka Stingrays much more reliable (Here you can see what kind of information we need to achieve this).
For more information about MTK Catcher read the manuals.
Warning: Working with Engineer tools means that you can damage your phone! Everything you do is at your own risk!
a) Capture network events and analyze later
Check if you have MTKLogger installed, this tool comes preinstalled on many MTK devices
Open MTK EngineerMode (you can use Mobileuncle MTK Tools to do this)
Open MTKLogger in “Log and Debugging”
Activate option “ModemLog”.
Start recording with MTKLogger and stop later.
On your sdcard you will find folder “mtklog” where all captures are saved including a database file.
Copy mtklog from your phone to PC
Open Catcher.exe
Select in Config → Database path your database file (BPLGU...)
Select in Controls → Dump File your MDLog_PS file (MDLog_L1 is not displayed)
b) Capture network events live over USB and access phone with other tools
You will need the database file so obtain it doing the procedure under a)
Activate USB Debugging in Developer Options
Open MTKLogger preferences
In ModemLog menu change Log Mode to “USB Mode”
Install MTK USB drivers
Install ADB drivers
Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC
Open Catcher.exe
Select in Config → Database path your database file (BPLGU...)
Start recording with MTKLogger *important*
Select in Configure Port → Conn. Mode “Smartphone USB Logging (MD1)”
Select in Controls → Set Filter what you want to display or just select all
Check Advanced menu out, there will be e.g. SIM/USIM Editor
How to edit NVRAM
Install MTK USB drivers
Install Maui META
Power off your phone
Attach your phone to USB → VCOM port should get installed
Open META (it needs admin privileges to create log files under C:/)
Select in Options → Connect Smartphone into META mode
Press Reconnect button
Attach powered off phone to USB
Power on the phone → Phone should get stuck on boot screen and fail driver install
Open device manager, Select “ALL MTK Drivers” as driver update path
Gadget CDC VCOM appears
Detach phone from USB
Power off the phone (hold power key for 10 seconds or remove battery)
Close META and try again the steps 5-9
If not successful try again 5-9 and 12-13
META shows “Connected with target” → Phone is in META mode
Select NVRAM editor in drop down menu
Press “Read from NVRAM” button
Select database file (BPLGU...)
NVRAM Records that might be relevant for logging:
NVRAM_EF_PORT_SETTING_LID:
usb_logging_mode: 1
tst_output_mode: 1 (to file)
NVRAM_EF_TST_CONFIG_LID:
usb_dma_logging_enable: TRUE

Thanks, excellent post! I was trying to analyze what is wrong with a MT6752 device and also to correct some NVRAM errors in a MT6592 device (lost wifi MAC address). Catcher seems like the perfect tool for that. Wish I had seen your post long time ago.
is there any solution to see realtime the codec in use for a call?

Hi! Maui Meta is passworded?
Only feature remaining in P81 is USB OTG support.
So I am working on Panasonic P81 for making usb otg pendrive workable on this device.
Prerequisites
Panasonic P81 device
OTG cable ( micro usb B male to usb A female )
Pendrive ( usb 2.0 )
USB host diagnostics App
Farmaroot App
Es File Explorer App
Two things are important for usb otg to work in HOST mode
1. It should provide power to usb drive and
2. Kernel & Driver support
Best app for testing usb otg support for p81 is USB HOST diagnostics
The original settings on usb host diagnostics app on p81 fresh device.
Android API

<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/>
</permissions>
Copy this file into folder*/system/etc/permissions
2. MODIFY File : handheld_core_hardware.xml
Goto folder /system /etc/permissions
find filename *handheld_core_hardware.xml
and add*<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/>*into**<permissions>*section
3. COPY the above two Files in this location : /system /etc /permissions
4. Reboot your device.
After adding two xml files.
This are the current settings on usb otg diagnostics.

How to get OTG support?
Hello Friends,
IMEI & NVRAM ERROR is common if a ROM is not properly flashed on mobile & what if we have not taken the NVRAM backup then what we do is flash the STOCK ROM and end up with IMEI & NVRAM ERROR.
I have a proper solution, this one WORKED for me and I hope it will work for you too. Just follow the proper guidelines mentioned below and bring your mobile back to life

Wi-Fi mac address never goes away even after flashing Rom or during the error, so you can get it from
Settings > About phone > Status > Wi-Fi Mac address
WiFi not working
WiFi not working on unrooted stock ROM MMX a117.
Will this be helpful??
Also I want the Mac address.
Thanks
hey i have canvas hd 116 and i flash it by aosb 4.4.4 rom bt i forgot about taking backup...so now i have face problem with imei and WiFi network....so how can i solve this problem plz help me out.............i cant use WiFi......i can start sim by manually inserting imei no but i cant turn of WiFi it automatically turns off.....wifi address unavailable
This thread will go over restoring the IMEI number if you cleared the NVRAM (or fully formatted your phone). The official tool to use is the SN Writer tool from Mediatek but as the P60 processor is not compatible with that, I had to search for alternative ways.
First the legal blerb:
IT IS ILLEGAL TO FLASH A DIFFERENT IMEI NUMBER THAN THE ONE IT CAME WITH (AS FOUND ON THE SIM TRAY OR BOX).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LEGAL AFFAIRS CAUSED BY USING THIS GUIDE. IF YOU DO BLAME IT ON ME THEN I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!
Now the guide.
You will need:
- The phone
- A USB cable
- A Windows computer (I used Windows XP, I will get to that later.)
- The drivers linked below (no other drivers seem to work properly or at all.)
- MauiMETA (linked below.)
Part 1: driver installation
These are essential to get the phone to be recognized
- Remove the phone if it's plugged in.
- If using Windows Vista or newer, disable driver signature enforcing (look up online if you don't know how to). For Windows XP there is no such limitation, you can just click a "continue anyway" button.
- Download and extract the drivers (linked below).
- Run "Install Drivers.bat" and follow instructions.
- Reboot the computer to be sure.
Part 2: installing MauiMETA
You will need this tool to start the phone to META mode and write the IMEI numbers.
- Download the setup program.
- Install the software by following on-screen instructions.
Part 3: getting the phone to go into meta mode
- Turn off the phone completely.
- REMOVE THE SIM CARD JUST IN CASE!
- Open the MauiMETA program on your computer.
- Check if the device select is set to "Smartphone" and if the drop-down in the top left is set to "IMEI Download"
- Click "reconnect" and plug in the phone.
- Wait until the phone displays "=> Meta mode" and the application either says "connected" or displays an error box.
Don't be scared of the error box. Just close it. Another may pop up, close that too. If the MauiMETA program displays a few boxes that say something with 6771, it's been detected and the IMEI Download tool is about to open.
Part 4: downloading an IMEI number to the phone
I would again like to warn you that flashing the non-original IMEI is illegal!
If the tool asks if it should find the database itself, click yes. There is no database you can load yourself, so the built-in one will work fine.
- Find your IMEI number(s). They should start with "35".
- Put in the IMEI number to the tool. The middle box is where you start typing. The very last number will need to go in the small box to the right. If you have a dual SIM model, there will be a submenu called "SIM_2" which you can find at the top of the tool.
- Click the "Download to phone" button and it should flash the IMEI numbers.
- When everything is done, hold the power button of the phone for about 10 seconds until it boots into the OS.
If everything went right, you should have a working phone now. I still need to figure out how to restore WiFi and BlueTooth MAC addresses, but the random ones the OS give you should do fine. Also ignore the NVRAM Error 0x10 wifi network, it indicates both are gone. Also some UI bits and pieces might be wrong on the latest Android because for example the notch values were loaded into device-specific partitions.
My device is oneplus nord 2 . When i am using the maui meta software , my phone is always connected on COM6 port and in the maui meta software i can only see COM1 , USB COM and DIAG COM . When i connect the phone the COM6 is displayed and after that when i click on reconnect the maui meta software says please connect cable to target and power on when the phone is already in meta mode. Can you please help me with that ?
