Mt6769 Scatter File -

Developers use the scatter file to extract individual partitions from a full flash dump. Using tools like Wwr_MTK or mtkclient, the scatter file allows you to pull only the boot or recovery partition without dumping the entire 64GB eMMC.

  • Extract from your own device (recommended for safety):

    • Sometimes you need to resize a partition or add a new one (e.g., super partition for dynamic partitions). Here are the rules:

    Example: To increase vendor partition by 100MB: mt6769 scatter file

    Before any flashing operation, generate a reference scatter file directly from your MT6769 device:

    This file is your lifeline. If a custom ROM flash corrupts the partition table, you can restore it using SP Flash Tool’s “Format” + “Download” with your backup. Developers use the scatter file to extract individual

    If you have a working MT6769 device (rooted), you can generate the scatter file live:

    adb shell
su
cat /proc/dumchar_info

    This outputs the exact addresses and sizes. Compare it to a stock scatter file to detect hidden partitions like protect1, protect2, or nvram. Extract from your own device (recommended for safety):

    Alternatively, use Wwr_MTK (MediaTek Write Tool) to parse a boot.img or recovery.img and reconstruct the scatter file.

    With Project Treble and Generic System Images (GSI), some assumed scatter files would die. However, MediaTek’s BROM protocol still requires a low-level memory map. Even on Android 14, MT6769 devices use scatter files for:

    As long as MediaTek does not adopt Qualcomm’s rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml fully, the scatter file remains essential.

    When an MT6769 device won’t turn on, doesn’t charge, or shows no sign of life (a “hard brick”), you often need to perform a Format All + Download in SP Flash Tool. But doing this without the correct scatter file will erase critical partitions like proinfo and nvram, leading to IMEI loss or a permanent radio dead state.
