Typical Use Cases (Legitimate)
- Data recovery from a hard-bricked Rockchip tablet with a broken screen.

5. Low-Level Technical Details
4. "Switch" Functionality
The tool includes a "Switch" feature that allows the user to force the device into different boot modes:
- Normal Mode: Boots the device regularly.
- Loader Mode: Used for flashing via the bootloader.
- Mask ROM Mode: A low-level mode used when the bootloader is corrupted or erased, essential for deep-level recovery.
Known Limitations of V1.35
- No support for A/B slot (seamless update) partitions on newer RK3566/RK3588 devices.
- Does not work with dynamic partitions (super.img on Android 10+).
- Sometimes fails if the device uses hardware-backed verification (AVB 2.0) on bootloader.
- Requires Windows; Wine/Linux support is unstable.
