: Prevents data from overlapping into adjacent partitions.

The scatter text lists a file_name that does not exist within the local directory.

The official name of the block (e.g., PRELOADER , BOOTIMG , ANDROID ). : Prevents data from overlapping into adjacent partitions

Convert StartAddr from decimal (if shown) to hex, and Size from bytes to hex. That gives you a raw scatter mapping.

Unlike standard PC hard drives that use a single Master Boot Record (MBR), MediaTek devices utilized EBR (Extended Boot Record) . Convert StartAddr from decimal (if shown) to hex,

On MT6589, eMMC blocks are typically 512 bytes. The scatter file's linear_start_addr must be (multiple of 512). For example:

The partition layout defined in your scatter file does not match the layout currently written on the phone's physical eMMC chip. On MT6589, eMMC blocks are typically 512 bytes

Defines the master boot record and extended boot records for storage mapping. nvram.bin

[Revised] How to use SP Flash tool to flash Mediatek firmware

A scatter file is a straightforward text document that maps out a device's entire internal memory structure, like a for a MediaTek (MTK) device. When you're performing a low-level flash, such as restoring a bricked phone, the scatter file is loaded into the SP Flash Tool, acting as a guide and telling the tool exactly where to write each piece of the firmware, such as the bootloader, kernel, system image, and recovery, ensuring every file is placed in its correct location.
