Do you see all the partitions listed (like recovery, boot, system) after clicking 'Block Map'?
If no, then it means phone is not connected properly.
Sometimes, you have to install drivers like Android CDC Gadget driver, Android VCOM drivers for it to work

These MTK chips have 64-bit processors..
As of now, the MTK Droid Tools software isn't updated to support these new 64 bit chipsets.
You can try to manually create a scatter file, or check the phone manufacturer's website for complete firmware with a specific tool or XDA Firmware. (That might include a scatter file; IDK)
If you don't find any, better wait till a proper tutorial / update comes.
I think there'll be some solution to this in the Chinese forums..
The Chinese Smart phone companies are highly dependent on the cheap Mediatek chipsets..
So, you can try looking there if you have patience and use Google Translate with Chrome.

Which phone are you using? I've scatter of my phone and I'm able to flash using sp flash tools. If you're using a Lenovo phone then you'll find scatter and flash tool which will do your job.

I'm doing the initial research/development. No firmware from manufacturer at time. I'm doing all with one unit of the device. I'm creating the scatter file manually using a ROM dump. My problem at time is that my dump isn't a full 16GB dump, only 1.5GB. :crying:

Sorry, don't know about this phone. I've Lenovo and there's a Russian forum which covers almost all Lenovo phones.

Hi,
In the e3 recovery menu is an option for show the bootlog, inside it you can show the PARTION mapping of the device... with all info: partition name, start address, size... you can create the scatter file by hand with this info.

No, not at all!
Even phones with same chipsets have different mount points for most of the partitions, so you must never use other phone's scatter file to avoid bricking.

[Fix] Error S Not Enough Storage Space Sp Flash Tool For MTK65xx

Hello everyone I bring a way to fix this famous error:
"Brom error: s_not_enough_storage_space (1011)" leaves us
when trying to flash flash tools our terminals.
I have concluded that it was something that was wrong with my scatter partitions for example.
So I started to open my scatter and take a look with this tool scatter analyzer and compare it to other scatter another rom
and saw a difference in space.
What I did was open the original scatter with notepad ++ and locate where in the section USR_DATA and partition_size
you resize by one less than it had copied the other scatter, after you tried it in flash tools and this was the result.
I think it will work for any mtk65xx
I hope you serve
A greeting.
Brilliant!! Thanks man!!
I couldn't quite catch what you mean. Can you please make it more precise? A step-by-step guide would be much appreciated.
Can you please upload the scatter file,i have exact same phone and model. MT6572 X410
Im having this issue:
https://i.gyazo.com/ec3606a18990a905a2993b2d72a8d758.png
Only i cant seem to get it to work.
My Rom is Budget X410
Can someone please help me fix my scatter file if this is the issue,or perhaps help me fix this phone another way if it is because of something else. Tried changing the Partition size like the guide suggests on the other thread,but it results in error.
Phone is totally bricked,no recovery menu or access to adb/fastboot. Only way i can fix it is with Sp Flash Tool.

i see the same mistake.
In scatter i have the following:

Entire ROM backup of a MTK6580 how to?

I want to make a full copy of a MTK6580 smartwatch firmware before make changes on it, but MTK droid tools I used before with other MTK devices can´t detect this... please, I need a starting point on how to do it with this device...
Thanks
A starting point:
SP FlashTool, a scatter file of similar device and cat /proc/parti*
Then change the starting addresses and sizes to match yours.

THANKS. I am not sure if I can access to /proc/ folder, from the device or the PC, or if partitions will list all addresses, but I wil try. I have scatter (and firmware ) of the same device (other brand, but same hardware) but I don´t know if same hardware with different firmware could have different partition addresses., so I didn´t use it to save my actual firm.
Thanks again this is a good starting point. :good::good:
Worked, I´ve got the /proc/par* addresses. I will try to do the backup now. THANKS

TCL A3 (A509DL) Unbrick Scatter Rom

I was finally able to help someone with this phone today after looking for months for someone to give me a dump.
Used UnlockTool to flash it to fix my soft brick, but I don't see why spflashtool couldn't do it.
Enjoy!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Scatter File
I have a TCL A30 w/ very similiar specs. Can you point me to the process you used to generate the scatter file.?
Thanks.
disable signature enforcement
i installed mediatek vcom drivers manually. should get a prompt if you want to install if driver signature enforcement is off.
open spflashtool
click on download
load the scatter file from the downloaded folder
click download
I did it without the battery, but I don't know if it matters
just plug it in while the phone is off
if all the planets align it should flash
Thanks. I'm "All LInux" and it looks like the tools you used were "Window only". I've used mtkclient (python based) and have been able to pull some locked information on the TCL A30 - battery and sim-card in.
It just is not as detailed as your posting.

recovery.img from recovery-from-boot.p

How can I want to make a recovery.img
From the recovery-from-boot.p and a .sh file it has inside the update.zip.
Is there any method to do it without flashing the update.zip?

That depends on the phone. What is the make, model and version of Android?
Usually the recovery-from-boot.p file is in \system\system.
This file will not help you make a recovery.img.

If you have ROM-firmware so the recovery.img is not there?!
If your phone is Mediatek so you can use the https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ot-tools-mediatek-android-smartphone.2160490/
or
Use/Search any video in the YT about: Read Back with Smarth Phone Flash Tool (SPFT). But you need scatter file for use SPFT (xda) and that's in the stock firmware.
if your device has other Soc like qualcomm or Unisoc or ??? so you need the specific tool or correct method to copy the recovery.img part directly from your phone.

Use any AIDA or HW apk information to know which Soc is.
