Mt8167 Scatter File Hot -

The scatter file is valid for MT8167 with [8/16/32]GB eMMC. Preloader/bootloader offsets correct, dynamic partitions flag consistent with Android [version]. BMT pool present, TEE partitions contiguous. Recommend: double-check NVRAM download flag, verify cache partition size >50MB for OTA, and ensure userdata size ≥1GB for Android Go.

  • MD5/file mismatch errors: ensure file paths match file_name fields and files exist.
  • Bootloop after flash: restore original boot/bootloader or reflash all required partitions including lk and trustzone.
  • Lost IMEI/Wi-Fi MAC: restore nvram/persist backups.
  • If only updating kernel for quick test, set is_download=1 for boot and leave others 0 to avoid full flash.

    • Do not simply search Google and download the first .txt file you see. Most are garbage. Here are the legitimate sources:

    A scatter file (usually named MT8167_Android_scatter.txt) is a plain-text configuration file used exclusively by MediaTek’s SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool). It acts as a map of the device’s memory (eMMC). It tells the flash tool: | Partition | Size (hex) | Size (MB)

    Without a correct scatter file, the SP Flash Tool cannot write firmware to the device. Use the wrong scatter file, and you will either get a STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH error or, worse, permanently corrupt the NVRAM (losing Wi-Fi MAC address and IMEI).

    While the SoC (MT8167) remains the same, the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout and memory chips (e.g., Samsung vs. SK Hynix eMMC) vary between tablet models.

    A MediaTek scatter file lists partition entries; common MT8167 partition names and roles:

    Each partition entry includes:
