In the context of MTK devices, "handshaking" refers to the specific moment when the device's Boot ROM (BROM) establishes a connection with the computer's software tool. During this phase, the tool sends a sequence of commands to exploit vulnerabilities in the chipset's boot sequence. A handshaking error occurs when the device fails to respond to these commands or when the data packets are corrupted, leading to a synchronization timeout. This prevents the tool from disabling the "Bootloader Lock" or "Authentication" (Auth) requirements necessary for flashing firmware or removing locks. Primary Causes of the Handshaking Error 1. Driver Incompatibility and Conflicts
