Mt6768-android-scatter.txt May 2026

Unlike Qualcomm devices that use raw .mbn or xml files, MediaTek’s proprietary flashing protocol relies entirely on the scatter file. When you connect an MT6768 device in BROM mode (power off + volume down + USB), SP Flash Tool reads the scatter file to:

Attempting to flash without the correct mt6768-android-scatter.txt—or using a scatter file from a different chipset—will almost certainly result in a STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH or ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL error. mt6768-android-scatter.txt

The mt6768-android-scatter.txt is a plain-text configuration file that maps the memory layout of a MediaTek MT6768 device’s flash storage (eMMC or UFS). It acts as a roadmap for flashing tools (like SP Flash Tool or fastboot) to know exactly where each partition begins, ends, and what it is used for. - general : MTK_PLATFORM_CFG info: config_version: V1

The "scatter" name comes from the concept of scatter loading—a method where data is loaded into non-contiguous physical memory regions. This file tells the flashing tool which addresses correspond to which partition.
