No, it isn't. First of all, FlashTool is proprietary and single-platform. Having no viable open source alternative that can be run on any normal OS was enough to kickstart the research to create this tool.
Second, MTreader works on a lower level than FlashTool, so it can handle some phones in bricked state that FlashTool refuses to see or requires some non-standard DA to operate on them. Some of the many examples include Philips E106 or a bricked Maxcom MM817 with corrupted bootloader area where DA becomes unresponsive after sending it.

1. Enter the command with four necessary parameters - port, output file, range start and range length.
2. Just disconnect the cable after a successful or unsuccessful operation - the tool will automatically send the hardware reset command anyway.
2. Connect the cable holding the bootkey when asked, regardless of whether or not the phone has a battery in it.

MTreader was created to only do one thing and try doing it well, and in no way is going to compete with any proprietary flashing or dumping solutions. However, it can even handle some phones in bricked state that FlashTool refuses to see or requires some non-standard DA to operate on them.
