Here's an example of a simplified scatter.txt file for an MT3367 device:
A scatter file is essentially a blueprint of your device’s Internal Flash Memory (eMMC or UFS). MediaTek chipsets do not use traditional partition tables in the same way standard computers do; instead, they rely on this external text file to dictate exactly where data blocks should be written.
use a scatter file from a different chipset (e.g., MT6580 or MT8127) on an MT3367 device.
If an MT3367 device fails to boot (gets stuck on the logo or shows a black screen), it is often because a partition has been corrupted. The SP Flash Tool, guided by the scatter.txt , can overwrite the corrupt partition with a fresh image. Without the correct scatter file, the tool wouldn't know where to place the data, potentially overwriting critical security zones and permanently killing the device.
- partition_index: 15 partition_name: custpack file_name: custpack.img is_download: true type: NORMAL_ROM linear_start_addr: 0x9f00000 physical_start_addr: 0x9f00000 partition_size: 0x2000000 region: EMMC_USER storage: HW_STORAGE_EMMC boundary_check: true is_reserved: false operation_type: UPDATE reserve: 0x00
Dictates whether the partition is strictly read-only, rewritable, or protected.
: How much space that specific component occupies.
For devices powered by the MT3367 SoC, the scatter.txt file typically contains the following information:
: Before running any major firmware operations, use the Readback feature in SP Flash Tool to copy the hex address range of your nvram and nvdata partitions to your PC hard drive.
Below the general configuration, every single partition on the chip is mapped individually. Here is what a typical partition entry looks like:
Professional repair technicians use hardware boxes to read the hardware configuration info block directly over a USB COM connection and export it instantly as a fully compatible text scatter file. Method 2: Using MTK Flash Tool Readback Feature
