MTK Scatter File: A Detailed Overview

MTK Scatter File ek important configuration file hoti hai jo MediaTek (MTK) chipset based devices ko flash karne ke liye use hoti hai. Ye file device ke partition table ko describe karti hai aur flashing process mein MTK Flash Tools (jaise SP Flash Tool) ko guide karti hai. Scatter file device ke firmware, recovery, bootloader, aur dusre essential partitions ka path define karti hai.


📌 MTK Scatter File Ka Role

  • Device Partition Table: Scatter file device ke har partition (jaise boot, recovery, system, userdata, cache, etc.) ka mapping provide karti hai.
  • Firmware Flashing: Flash tools ko guide karti hai ki kaunsa partition kis address par flash karna hai.
  • Custom ROM Installation: Agar aap custom ROM flash karna chahte hain, to scatter file us ROM ke partitions ko specify karti hai.
  • Backup/Restore: Scatter file backup aur restore process mein bhi use hoti hai, jahan pe aap apne device ke partitions ka backup le sakte hain.

📌 MTK Scatter File Ka Structure

Scatter file ka structure simple text format mein hota hai aur typically .txt extension ke sath save hoti hai. Is file mein device ke partition layout aur flash addresses included hote hain.

Example of a basic MTK Scatter File structure:

[Scatter File]
   scatter_version = 1.0
   flash_tool_version = 5.2020.0

[Partitions]
   preloader  = 0x00000000, 0x00100000
   boot       = 0x00100000, 0x00140000
   recovery   = 0x00240000, 0x00280000
   system     = 0x01000000, 0x04000000
   userdata   = 0x05000000, 0x10000000
   cache      = 0x15000000, 0x1000000
   ...

[Files]
   preloader.bin      = /path/to/preloader.bin
   boot.img           = /path/to/boot.img
   recovery.img       = /path/to/recovery.img
   system.img         = /path/to/system.img
   userdata.img       = /path/to/userdata.img
   ...

  • Partitions: Har partition ka address aur size define kiya gaya hota hai.
  • Files: Ye section specify karta hai ki kaunse files kis partition ko flash karenge.
