Hello, welcome to Chinaphonearena. We are glad to have you here.

This currently for Windows, yes? Works with new MTK SoC (MT6752 etc..)?

[rom1nux]

Hello NexusTrix,
Thank for your welcome.
MTKIMG is portable, open-source and easy to build.
I build releases for Linux, Cygwin and Windows.
They are compiled for 64 bits version but it's very easy to build for 32 bits if need
(I can install Cygwin32 and a VirtualBox for Linux 32 and perhaps Windows 32)
I dont know if it work on MT6752, do try and tell me.
If it dont work, send me a ROM i will do modification to support this device.
I need some testers for new device, hope you will help me
Bye
Ps : Sorry for my bad english

A Windows 32 version would be good.

I will test build a custom recovery with MT6752 phone with your tool and let you know.

Ok, I had 32 bits version support now and build V0.44 release.
