just slight mod based on htc_t018_public_MTK_CSQ_4.4.2_20140504

Changes

• rooted with SuperSU (thanks Chainfire)

Instruction (do this on your own risk)

• flash stock kitkat firmware img (if you haven't already). And make sure it can boot properly.
  

  New firmware 20140504 here or here (htc_t018_public_4.4.2_mtk_20140504)

Re: [CS968][MTK][4.4.2]Stock Rooted

can it apply to AP6210 version?

No. You will loose Wifi and Bluetooth.

I can probably create a patch for AP6210 version. I'll take a look.

Nice work...,
If the patch is working, maybe you can try to patch leoas Quickshoot?

[farhanito]

if someone with AP6210 willing to test, here's the patch to fix WIFI and bluetooth

AP6210 ONLY

http://d-h.st/9ES

flash the ROM
copy the patch to internal/external storage, and flash with TWRP

note: files taken from cr11 firmware, so you might see cloudnetgo logo on boot. (i'm lazy)

Haven't seen kernel source for MTK CS968..
I don't know yet.

EDIT:
Apparently we do have source code available. I'll start learning on kernels.
No promises, tho 😁

How did you flash it?
Can you boot directly into recovery (TWRP)?

I flashed it with RKBatchtool => restored, just like any other flash method.
I tried the "Normal" htc_t018_public_MTK_CSQ_4.4.2_20140504 on my MK809iii, strangely it boot up and work just fine. But yeah it not rooted yet. That's why I'm trying to flash it with your version.

Try powering up the stick while keeping the reset button pressed..

I did exacly as you said i manage to boot directly into recovery (TWRP).
And from there I choose reboot => system, but then still, I'm stuck at "Smart Box" logo.
Any idea what should I try next?

for the first run, IMHO, it took a while for it to properly boot. just wait it, i ussually get less than 5 minute, but sometime more.

I've waited for 20-30 minutes, but still stuck there.

Does the logo looks static, or animated?
