MT6769 (MediaTek Helio G80/G85 family) is an SoC used in many Android phones. A scatter file for MT6769 is a plain-text layout file used by SP Flash Tool (and compatible flashing utilities) to map firmware images to physical flash partitions on devices with MediaTek chipsets.
These hex values define where the partition begins in the raw flash memory. For eMMC, they are usually identical. The scatter file enforces strict boundaries; overlapping partitions will cause a flash error.
| Partition Name | Typical Size | Description |
|----------------|-------------|-------------|
| preloader | 256–512 KB | First-stage bootloader (critical). |
| pgpt | 4 KB | Primary GPT partition table. |
| sgpt | 4 KB | Secondary GPT. |
| proinfo | 512 KB | Contains device serial, IMEI, MAC (vendor). |
| nvram | 512 KB | Wi-Fi MAC, Bluetooth, calibration data. |
| protect1 | 8 MB | Factory reset protection. |
| protect2 | 8 MB | Factory reset protection backup. |
| lk / bootloader | 2 MB | Little Kernel – second-stage bootloader. |
| boot | 32–64 MB | Kernel + ramdisk (Android boot image). |
| recovery | 32–64 MB | Recovery image (or empty on A/B devices). |
| dtbo | 8–16 MB | Device Tree Blob Overlay. |
| logo | 8–16 MB | Boot logo splash screen. |
| tee / trustzone | 4–8 MB | Trusted Execution Environment (OP-TEE). |
| metadata | 16 MB | Metadata for FBE (File-Based Encryption). |
| vbmeta | 4 KB | Verified boot metadata (AVB). |
| super | ~3–5 GB | Dynamic partitions: system, product, vendor. |
| userdata | Remaining space | /data – user apps and settings. |
| cache | 256–512 MB | Cache partition (sometimes omitted). | mt6769 scatter file
Actual layout depends on device: Realme, Xiaomi, Infinix, Tecno, Nokia, etc.
The scatter file is mandatory. It uses the region field to decide if a partition goes to EMMC_BOOT_1 (preloader) or EMMC_USER. Some scatter variants include attributes for storage type
In the world of Android firmware, few files are as crucial yet misunderstood as the scatter file. For anyone dealing with MediaTek-powered devices—specifically those running on the MT6769 chipset (commonly known as the Helio G70/G80/G85)—the scatter file is the master key to the device’s storage architecture.
Whether you are a seasoned developer, a repair technician performing a write firmware operation, or an advanced user trying to unbrick a phone, understanding the MT6769_Android_scatter.txt file is non-negotiable. Without it, tools like SP Flash Tool, Miracle Box, or UnlockTool cannot communicate with the device’s eMMC/UFS storage. MT6769 (MediaTek Helio G80/G85 family) is an SoC
