Use a Python script or a calculator to verify that partition addresses do not overlap and are in ascending order:

Why the emphasis on verified ? Because a corrupted, mismatched, or malicious scatter file can permanently brick your device. Unlike Qualcomm’s MBN files or Samsung’s PIT files, MediaTek’s scatter format is plain text but defines absolute memory addresses. One wrong partition offset, and you overwrite the preloader or NVRAM—game over. If you have root access on a working
They extracted the original scatter from a Chuwi Hi8 official firmware (Android 5.0 Lollipop) hosted on the manufacturer’s FTP. After verification using dumchar_info from a working unit, the scatter showed that the generic files incorrectly mapped PROTECT_F to an address overlapping NVRAM . One wrong partition offset, and you overwrite the
For the , a typical scatter file includes these key partitions:
