Mt8163 Scatter File May 2026
mtk wl scatter MT8163_Android_scatter.txt This bypasses Windows driver issues and is excellent for unbricking. Error 1: STATUS_SCATTER_FILE_INVALID (0xC0030001) Cause: Corruption in the scatter file, wrong chipset ID, or incorrect formatting. Fix: Open the file in Notepad++ and verify the first lines contain MT8163 . Re-download the scatter from a trusted source. Error 2: STATUS_PRELOADER_NOT_FOUND (0xC0050003) Cause: SP Flash Tool cannot find preloader_mt8163.bin in the same directory as the scatter file. Fix: Ensure the firmware folder contains the preloader binary. If missing, you can extract it from a full backup. Error 3: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054) Cause: Mismatch between the scatter file’s DRAM configuration and your device’s actual RAM. Fix: This often happens when using a scatter from a different MT8163 variant (e.g., 1GB RAM scatter on a 2GB RAM tablet). Obtain the correct factory scatter. Error 4: Partition Size Too Small/Large Cause: The partition_size field in the scatter does not match the eMMC’s actual GPT. Fix: Perform a full “Read Back” of the eMMC starting from address 0x0 for 0x788000000 (device-specific). Then, use Wwr_MTK (MTK Write/Read Tool) to regenerate a correct scatter. Part 6: Creating or Repairing a Corrupt MT8163 Scatter File If your scatter file is lost or corrupted, you can regenerate it from a working device (even a bricked one that still enters BROM mode). Method 1: Using mtkclient (Recommended) # Install mtkclient git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient cd mtkclient pip install -r requirements.txt Put device in BROM mode (power off, connect USB while shorting test points or holding buttons) sudo ./mtk.py printgpt sudo ./mtk.py rl --partname MT8163_Android_scatter.txt
