Are you having trouble fixing a bricked Android device or flashing files to it? If so, creating a scatter file using MTK Droid tools might be the solution you're looking for. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of generating a scatter file for your Mediatek (MTK) Android device.

Prerequisites

  • A functioning MTK Android device
  • MTK Droid Tools installed on your PC
  • PdaNet or ADB drivers for your device
  • Root and Busybox installed on your device

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Download MTK Droid Tools: Go to the MTK Droid Tools website and download the latest version.
  2. Install ADB Drivers: If you can't find the ADB drivers for your device, install PdaNet on your PC and connect your device with USB debugging enabled (Settings > Developer options > Tick USB debugging). PdaNet will automatically install the ADB drivers for your connected device type.
  3. Root and Busybox: Ensure that root and Busybox are installed on your device. This is necessary to run certain commands in the next steps.
  4. Launch MTK Droid Tools: Open the MTK Droid Tools application on your PC.
  5. Connect Your Device: Connect your MTK Android device to your PC using a USB cable.
  6. Run ADB Shell: In the MTK Droid Tools window, click "ADB" and select "Shell". This will open an ADB shell prompt.
  7. Type the Commands:
  • adb shell (press enter)
  • cat /proc/mtd (or cat /proc/emmc) (press enter) If the second command doesn't show a list, try using cat /proc/emmc
  1. Save the Partition Table: To save the partition table, type one of the following commands and press enter:
  • cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info or
  • cat /proc/emmc > /sdcard/firmware.info
  1. Find the firmware.info File: Put your device in storage mode or check your SD card to find the firmware.info file.
  2. Use MTK ROM Studio: Load the firmware.info file into MTK ROM Studio and generate the corresponding scatter file needed for SP Flash Tool.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you encounter errors during the ADB shell process, ensure that root and Busybox are installed correctly on your device.
  • Check the tutorial carefully to avoid any mistakes in typing the commands.
  • If you're still having issues, try repeating steps 1-6 or seeking help from online forums or communities.

Creating a scatter file using MTK Droid tools can be a powerful tool for fixing bricked Android devices or flashing files. By following this guide and troubleshooting any issues that may arise, you should be able to successfully generate a scatter file for your MTK device. Happy hacking!
