Scatter Meizu MX4 Error

[Naphtha]

I have a problem when i try to open scatter of meizu mx4 on flyme 4.0.2I

[cookiedough]

can you attach the scatter? Also make sure you're using the latest version of SP Flash 5.1516. It can be downloaded in tools section here.

That scatter isn't for this tool. Not sure what tool its for, but not this one. It came with the ROM?

[Naphtha]

Yes come with the ROMs (4.0.1a or 4.0.2i do the same error)...what a kind of tool i need to use for open it?

I'm not sure. You can try older versions of SP Flash Tool. There are some in the tools section. Maybe try 3.1326. My opinion is that you're playing with fire and just leave your phone alone if there's not full instructions on which tool to use etc...

I'll consider your advice, thanks.

Yea this looks like an old scatter for older SP tools, but your phone has a newer SoC. If you figure it out, please follow up and let us know.

"Method 2
Using ROM_0 upload from SP Flash Tool
There are already tons of guides doing this so i won't touch on this . . .

What is interesting about this is syserr actually made the discovery & shared his findings since last year ! But i guess nobody discover his thread including myself until i hunt for ways to make backups on the new MT6595 since we have been spoilt by the awesomeness of MTK Droid Tools doing these automatically for us but now it doesn't work on the new MT6595 . . .

As syserr has mentioned on his thread, MTK Droid Tools is actually also using dd command to split the ROM_0 uploaded from SP Flash Tool too.

i have tried it on my old MT6577 & it worked perfectly splitting up all the partitions & generate a perfectly working scatter.txt from dumchar_info too . . . Having said that, however, its not compatible for use with the MT6595 scatter V1.1.2 format.

Complete full output.
Code:

./dice.sh MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt ROM_0 > log.txt


I have modded his script to show as below so we know how it works . . .

Based on his script output above, below should work on the new MT6595.
Code:

Name Start Size
boot 0x0000000001d20000 0x0000000001000000

Code:

start: 0x1d20000
size: 0x1000000

0x1d20 - Convert to decimal = 7456
0x1000 - Convert to decimal = 4096
dd if=ROM_0 of=boot.img bs=4096 skip=7456 count=4096

You can also use his trim.sh & trimFF.sh to automatically remove all the unused FF & 00 at preloader.bin too . . .

i don't have a MT6595 to confirm all this so owners of the new MT6595 should Trial & Error, more info then study syserr's thread . . .

ok... what i need to do? LOL
