Many MT6765 devices (Android 10+) use dynamic partitions (super). The scatter file will contain:
- partition_index: SYS23
partition_name: super
file_name: super.img
partition_size: 0x40000000
When flashing a GSI, you flash super.img instead of individual system/vendor.
The scatter file for MT6765-based devices typically includes several sections: mt6765-android-scatter.txt
File Paths: Specifies the paths to the images (firmware files) that are to be flashed into the defined partitions.
In the world of Android firmware modification, few files are as critical yet as misunderstood as the scatter file. For devices powered by MediaTek’s popular Helio P35 (MT6765) chipset, the file named mt6765-android-scatter.txt is the blueprint that holds the key to the device’s storage structure. Many MT6765 devices (Android 10+) use dynamic partitions
Whether you are a seasoned developer using SP Flash Tool, a technician recovering a bricked device, or a custom ROM enthusiast, understanding this file is non-negotiable. This article dissects the mt6765-android-scatter.txt file in detail—exploring its syntax, partition maps, common errors, and advanced uses.
Advanced users and developers use scatter files to modify partition sizes. For example, if a user wants to increase the size of the system partition at the expense of the userdata partition, they must edit the start addresses and sizes within the scatter file. When flashing a GSI, you flash super
A scatter file is a text-based configuration file used by MediaTek (MTK) flashing tools. It acts as a map, telling the flashing software (like SP Flash Tool) where specific partitions of the Android operating system are located within the phone's internal storage (NAND/eMMC).
Without a scatter file, the flashing tool does not know where to write the boot.img, system.img, or recovery.img.
