This script sets up bootless root access and Magisk on MediaTek Android devices using mtk-su as a temporary root tool. It copies the necessary binaries to the device's data partition and runs scripts to install Magisk, patch SELinux policies, and start the mtk-su daemon to provide root access, preventing the device from booting if updated improperly.

# This script sets up bootless root with Magisk on MediaTek Android devices.
# It uses mtk-su, the temporary root tool for MediaTek ARMv8 chips. Currently
# this only supports Magisk up to 18.1. Must be run from the app
# 'init.d scripts support' by RYO Software. Put this file into
# /storage/emulated/0/init.d along with mtk-su and magiskinit into .../init.d/bin
# Point the app to run sh scripts from /storage/emulated/0/init.d at boot time.
#
# WARNING: DO NOT UPDATE MAGISK THROUGH MAGISK MANAGER OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR
# DEVICE ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER
