#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Simple script to enter the necessary boot mode in the MT6572-based (etc) phones
# Depends on pyserial, otherwise fully cross-platform

# Usage: python3 mtk-bootseq.py [MODECMD] [port]
# e.g. python3 mtk-bootseq.py FASTBOOT /dev/tty.usbmodem14200
# and then connect the cable and repeatedly short-press the power on key

# Supported commands depend on the device and its preloader. Here's the list for Sigma S3500 sKai:
# FASTBOOT enters fastboot mode
# METAMETA enters MAUI META mode
# FACTFACT enters (Chinese) factory menu
# FACTORYM enters ATE Signaling Test
# ADVEMETA does normal boot (probably something else as well)
