This is the safest method.

A scatter file (usually named MT6833_Android_scatter.txt) is a memory layout map for MediaTek devices. It defines:

For MT6833, this file is essential because the chipset uses a non-standard partitioning scheme compared to Qualcomm or Exynos.


  • Launch SP Flash Tool as Administrator.

  • Load the Scatter File

  • Select Flash Mode

  • Prepare the Phone

  • Flash

  • Disconnect and Reboot – First boot may take 5–10 minutes. import re import json import struct from typing


  • This scatter file is compatible with devices running the MT6833 platform. Common devices utilizing this chipset include:

    ⚠️ Important Note: Using a scatter file meant for a different device variant can permanently brick your phone. Please verify your device's specific codename before proceeding.
