What is Maskrom Mode
Maskrom mode, also known as Loader mode, is a special boot mode that generally used to recover or repair faulty devices. This mode allows the user to interact directly with the device's hardware without going through the operating system. In Maskrom mode, the user can communicate with the device through a computer or other device and execute a series of commands to fix the device's problems. You can see if the device is in Maskrom mode by using the following command (the return value below is the return value in Maskrom state).
