[Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box to bypass Privacy Protection Password on MTK
Quote:In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to bypass the please enter privacy protection password on a Mediatek Android phone using Miracle Box. In my previous guide, I explained how to fix this same error using SP Flash tool. but you see, this particular method has a number of advantages in that it doesn't require you to have to get the firmware for that particular phone model, you don't get to lose any data, its faster and easier so this is the recommended method which we would ask anybody having this same issue to try first before considering the SP Flash tool method.
For this particular method, you're going to need your VCOM drivers and then you're going to need the Miracle Box of course. Now, on a side note, you might be wondering why you're asked to supply a password which you did not set. Well, its a security intention gone wrong. Its just a bug with the security intention of the privacy protection password. Its not your fault. It happens when you take out your SIM card or when your SIM gets disconnected from your phone's (SIM) slot, you could encounter this error so its not your fault, nothing you did.
Back to the tutorial. Install our Mediatek VCOM drivers I have my drivers here and going to show you how to manually install the drivers. Launch device manager search for device manager and launch it. Under device manager, you select any item then go to Action Add legacy hardware - Next - Install the hardware that I manually select from... - Next - Next - Have Disk - Browse At this point, you navigate to the location of your VCOM drivers. Its important you install drivers for your OS version and architecture.
Mine is a 64-bit PC. Check which yours is by coming under My Computer - Properties. Open the VCOM drivers folder. I can't find Windows 10 here so if you're using Windows 7, 8 or 10, just open this Win7 folder. (x86) is for 32-bit and (x64) for 64-bit. Mine is 64-bit I select that driver and click Open. Now, its very important you disable your signature verification if you're using a Windows 8 or 10 PC. We already created a guide on how to disable signature verification This is important when you're installing unsigned drivers.
This driver is an unsigned driver so you might not be able to install it unless you disable that setting. Check Hovatek for the guide. After selecting my drivers, I'm going to click on OK. You can see I have this warning. Its not digitally signed. I select my Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port and click on Next Next. I wait while my driver gets installed. OK, the following hardware was installed but of course you can see the code 10 error. Click on Finish. When you come back, you're going to see your drivers but with the yellow warning sign.
You're getting this because you've installed an unsigned driver It doesn't mean its not going to work. I've installed the driver, next thing is to launch Miracle Box. You'll want to disable your antivirus or set it to allow Miracle Box to run because its going to see this tool as a virus. I double-click miracle loader and wait [Miracle box starting] Alright! Miracle Box is up. Click MTK (tab), click Unlock / fix (tab), select Clear anti-theft. Now, under this part, you're going to select your kind of chipset.
Mine is MT6580 so I select MT65xx. No more configuration Click on Start. Switch off the phone but leave the battery inside. Make sure the battery is charged then I connect it to the phone via USB cord. You can see what I have here is None theft code. that's because this particular phone I'm using doesn't have the anti-theft feature (already cleared it). but if you have that Privacy Protection Password issue, its going to popup and tell you it has been removed. Thats how to bypass the Privacy Protection Password on your Mediatek Android
