Mt6769 Scatter File ((top)) 〈CONFIRMED × VERSION〉

Technical Architecture & Analysis of the MT6769 Scatter File

Document Classification: Firmware Engineering / System-Level Configuration Target SoC: MediaTek MT6769 (Helio G80/G85 Platform) File Format: .scatter (MediaTek proprietary partition table definition)

Method 2: Read from a Working Device

Using MTKClient (Python based open-source tool): mt6769 scatter file

python mtk rl ./scatter_from_device

This reads the partition table directly from the device’s GPT and generates a matching scatter file. Technical Architecture & Analysis of the MT6769 Scatter

A. Unbricking (BROM Mode Recovery)

When your device shows 0% charge or is completely dead, SP Flash Tool requires the scatter file to load the DA (Download Agent). Use the matching MT6769_Android_scatter.txt from the stock ROM. Mismatched preloader addresses will cause a 0x13BE error. This reads the partition table directly from the

4. Common Errors and Solutions

| SP Flash Tool Error | Likely Cause | Scatter-Related Fix | | --- | --- | --- | | STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION | Preloader address mismatch | Use the exact scatter file from the original firmware. | | S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL | Wrong DDR timing | Edit the platform: MT6769 section or use a different DA file. | | S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE | Partition overlap | Check that no two partitions have the same linear_start_addr. | | STATUS_SECURITY_SECURE_CFG | Auth file missing | You need to patch secro or seccfg partition. Locate via scatter. |
