Run the mtk-su binary within the first of boot before background indexing daemons can heat up the chip. Step 2: Clear Background CPU Bottlenecks

Boot the phone and immediately plug it into your PC via USB.
The most common reason for a Step 3 initialization failure is an incompatible or updated kernel. If the device received a security update that contains a fix for the underlying MediaTek kernel exploit, the memory addresses targeted by mtk-su will no longer be vulnerable. The tool attempts to inject into a hardcoded or dynamically resolved kernel vector, fails to find the vulnerable entry point, and errors out at Step 3. 2.
