A Software Engineer's Path to Financial Independence and Early Retirement (FIRE)

Unlike Qualcomm’s partition XML, MediaTek uses a human-readable scatter file. For the MT6765, it lists preloader_a, pgpt, proinfo, nvram, protect1, protect2, seccfg, lk (little kernel), boot, recovery, system, vendor, userdata… Each with a physical address. But here’s the kicker: on MT6765 devices with Dynamic Partitioning (Android 10+), system and vendor are inside super. Flashing old-style images can brick the logical volume layout.

The scatter file for MT6765 includes partitions critical for this SoC:

⚠️ Warning: Never format or erase preloader, nvram, or protect* partitions unless you have a full backup. Doing so can permanently brick the device or kill baseband (no IMEI).

For most MT6765 unbricking:

Recommendation: Select "Firmware Upgrade" if coming from a faulty ROM. Select "Download Only" if simply updating.

Cause: Your device has SLA/DAA security enabled (common on newer MT6765 builds).
Fix: Obtain the auth_sv5.auth file from your ROM provider. Load it via Options → AuthenticationAuth File.

Replace the NVRAM partition using SP Flash Tool’s "Write Memory" tab with your backup, or use Maui Meta Tool or SN Writer Tool with the Barcode database.
