The (typically named MT6768_Android_scatter.txt ) is the blueprint for devices powered by the MediaTek Helio P65 and Helio G80 chipsets. If you own a smartphone running on this hardware—such as various budget and mid-range models from Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, or Realme—understanding this file is critical for flashing stock firmware, unbricking a dead device, or developing custom ROMs.

Each partition on the phone has its own block of code detailing its behavior. Here is an example of what the boot partition looks like inside the file:

| Partition Name | Start Address (Hex) | Size (Hex) | Size (Bytes approx) | Flags | Description | |----------------|---------------------|------------|----------------------|--------|-------------| | preloader | 0x0 | 0x40000 | 256 KB | PROTECTED | Initial bootloader | | pgpt | 0x0 (or offset) | 0x2000 | 8 KB | - | Primary GPT | | proinfo | 0x80000 | 0x300000 | 3 MB | - | Product info (IMEI, etc.) | | nvram | 0x380000 | 0x500000 | 5 MB | - | Wi-Fi/BT MAC, calibration | | protect1 | 0x880000 | 0xA00000 | 10 MB | READONLY | Secure partition 1 | | protect2 | 0x1280000 | 0xA00000 | 10 MB | READONLY | Secure partition 2 | | seccfg | 0x1C80000 | 0x200000 | 2 MB | - | Security config | | uboot | 0x1E80000 | 0x400000 | 4 MB | - | U-Boot bootloader | | boot | 0x2280000 | 0x2000000 | 32 MB | - | Kernel + ramdisk | | recovery | 0x4280000 | 0x2000000 | 32 MB | - | Recovery mode kernel | | secro | 0x6280000 | 0x400000 | 4 MB | - | Secondary security | | logo | 0x6680000 | 0x800000 | 8 MB | - | Boot logo images | | dtbo | 0x6E80000 | 0x800000 | 8 MB | - | Device tree overlay | | vbmeta | 0x7680000 | 0x800000 | 8 MB | - | Verified boot metadata | | super | 0x7E80000 | 0x20000000 | 512 MB | - | Dynamic partitions (system/vendor/product) | | cache | 0x27E80000 | 0x80000000 | 2 GB | - | Cache data | | userdata | 0xA7E80000 | ... | Remaining space | - | User apps + data |

Beyond simply restoring a device, the scatter file is a powerful tool for advanced development and customization:

Are you attempting to , flash a custom ROM , or bypass a lock ?

Below is a simplified and partial example of what the content of a mt6768-android-scatter.txt might look like:

If you cannot find a stock firmware package online but have access to a working, rooted MT6768 device, you can extract your own scatter file. Tools like or Miracle Box can interface with the live processor to read the partition table and generate a perfectly accurate mt6768-android-scatter.txt .

Flashing is not always straightforward. Here are some common errors you might encounter:

The mt6768-android-scatter.txt file is specifically designed for the chipset. Think of the MT6768 as the hardware "brain"; the scatter file gives the software "eyes" to see and modify that hardware. This file is typically bundled within the for devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (codenamed "merlin"), the Infinix Note 11 (X663), and many others powered by this chipset.

: Obtain the exact official stock ROM matching your device model and extract the zip archive. Ensure mt6768_android_scatter.txt is in the directory.

If you open an MT6768 scatter file in a text editor like Notepad++, you will see a structured list of parameters written in a specific syntax. Modern MediaTek chipsets use the , which uses a block-by-block definition for each partition. g., the boot partition):
