Hi,
I got MTK6580 it has iphone skin and I'm starting BIG project to flush it into original Android. It's big project b'z I never done anything like this, just want to give challenge to smart guys from China.
Can you assist me with basic steps how to start it. For now I I learned that I need to find right ROM and scatter file (?)

Can I map directly that model MTK6580 (which I think processor name) to Andorid 5.1 or can I get higher version, I frankly didn't see any info on this phone. Can I get somehow into it's brain to see it, I check reboot log files and see that log#1 was made in May 2017 so it should be fresh version.

Thank again for help how to start it!!

Thanks
M
 
Unfortunately doing development work for MediaTek MTK device can be very difficult, sometimes impossible, here's why....

Mediatek are the money grabbing type and to date have not released source code for their current chipsets which include the quad-core MT6582, MT6589(T), octacore MT6592 etc. What is worrying is that these are the processors found in many of the Chinese phones we report on on a daily basis!
