Mtk-su Failed Critical Init Step 3 Guide
While mtk-su attempts to work around SELinux, you can help it by setting SELinux to permissive—though this often requires root itself (a chicken-and-egg problem). If you have an unlocked bootloader, flash a permissive kernel. If not, try:
adb shell setenforce 0
(Note: On stock ROMs, this usually fails without root.) mtk-su failed critical init step 3
mtk-su supports arguments that can help bypass step 3 failures. Try: While mtk-su attempts to work around SELinux, you
./mtk-su -v # Verbose mode – watch where it fails
./mtk-su -s # Force a different escalation method
./mtk-su -f # Force exploit even if checks fail (risky)
Although rare, using the wrong binary version (e.g., running the 32-bit ARM binary on a 64-bit only kernel, or vice versa) can cause step 3 to fail. The memory offsets and IOCTL numbers differ between 32-bit and 64-bit environments. (Note: On stock ROMs, this usually fails without root
