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.

[Q] Is Scatter file for all phones have same chipset is same?

Hello,
Is Scatter file for all phones having mt6752 same? I mean, if I download a scatter file for mt6752, Can I use it for my two phones i.e JiaYu S3 and Lenovo P70 (Both using mt6752)?

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.

I don't think you need them. Unpacking and packing boot images is pretty straightforward since Huawei's boot images have the same format as stock Android AOSP boot images. You can use the utilities you mentioned to unpack without need of any ELF file.

Since i have soe experience on other phones and the best way is always with disasm and reasm of the files. Don't want to put the whole sdk or git files on my comp.
The best way I'm doing it is with phone throught adb bridge.
So I'm looking for the executable files for it (mkbootimg,unmkbootimg), have found only PIE version of Marshmallow for it.
Can any one please help.
Thx in advance.

Look into the systemless root tools , those should do what you're looking for.

Eh, I've downloaded it but found this file was corrupt

You can't unzip it, you have to flash it by copying it on the device

The file is corrupt. You should be able to open it (archive viewer) and see the files. I even attempted to repair the file using terminal commands, it seems that half the files are missing/damaged.

You can also get it directly from vivo: http://sysupwrdl.vivo.com.cn/upgrad...es/PD1805_A_1.15.7-update-full_1530708851.zip

Unfortunately the only model that can be unlocked right now is the European one and version 10z still doesn't exist (maybe a typo?)

Any chans u have the 10k unmodified boot?

Could you do a system dump of the V40? I see you did the vendor for the V40.

First of all, thank you heaps LameMonster82, you are an absolute champion!!. I was searching for hours to find a kdz file for G710EM10p and your posting was the only one I found. For some reason the "thaks" buttob isn't visible to me.. maybe because I'm a new member.
I thought I could be helpful by listing the different KDZ files which are in your google drive folder so other people can find them while searching through google like I was.
In the above link from LameMonster82 there are following KDZ files for the LM-G710EM (European) variant of the LG G7 :
G710EM10b
G710EM10f
G710EM10k
G710EM10p
For the LG V40:
V405UA10c
V405UA10l
To install the KDZ file follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888
Thanks again

I am having problem downloading G710EM10p kdz file, is there perhaps an alternative download link?

Download manages to get to 1 GB and then it drastically slows down and eventually fails. Via a download manager the farthest I got was 1,5 GB: although the download manager continued to download (it downloaded ~5 GB of data), the file was only 1,5 GB.

Doesn't seem to be something from me. Maybe Google's server are acting up or youre using your phone to download it. If you're using a phone it will sometimes do that. Try downloading another file and if not find a 10p version here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

I managed to download it! It went fine this time, I did not change anything on my side.
Thanks!

Btw, what is system_b.image? I cannot find anything of it on my phone.

It's the system partition but it's empty because when you install an update the system copies there. A/B support

Is it possible to extract any of the system apk files from the image without it being flashed?

Of course. You just need a 7Zip or WinRAR to open the image and fish it out

Actually, I have unpacked G7's kdz and there's 4.4 GB system_b image. When I mount it, I see bunch of odex and vdex files. I can't see where are those in my phone.

Odex and vdex files? Never heard of them. The image should still have a size but filled with 0.
