Thanks

Hello,
I've been recently trying to root my Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) using SP Flash tool,
however, I haven't found the correct scatter file for my device. Does anyone know where
I could find a MT6737 scatter file? Thanks in advance!
Hi. From my experience, correct scatter files that work (not just any random scatter file) reside in a ROM/Firmware zip.
Doing a little searching, I found that you can download stock firmware for you device from Asus officially. They offer them in the support section.
Here is the link: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
Should you download the official firmware specific to your device and unzip the file, (in all probability) you will also find the correct scatter file which you are looking for (something like xxxxx_scatter_file.txt).
(also keeping in place a stock rom is never but never a bad idea )
However... You mentioned that you need the scatter file to root??? I have not any idea as to why you would need SP Flash tool for any other reason than flashing stock.
Unless you are flashing full custom rom which cannot be flashed through recovery perhaps?
Anyway... Good luck!!!
Thanks for the quick response!

I needed the Flash tool because I was trying to flash TWRP, and from there install superuser. I did as you said, but when I tried loading the scatter file
the program recognized it as invalid. A huge thanks for the help though!!!

Ok... No worries!! We will probably figure it out in the end.
By the way, I am not sure I understand exactly how you were going to use SP Flashtool to flash TWRP. From my experience it does not work that way. You need platform tools (adb and fastboot).
platform tools here ----> https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
It is with these that you will unlock bootlader, and after bootloader is unlocked, first flash supersu, install busybox and lastly flash twrp.
Please look at my how-to root and twrp section. It is not for your device, but it will give you a good idea of the process: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727

Hi.

Hello, i have received today the OTA for BLA-L29 800145(C432) but not able to install it due to TWRP. Do somebody has the stock recovery img. for the Mate10Pro BLA-L29 800142(C432) . I am not able to use the extract tool and to download such a big firmware on my pc to extract it. Anyone can just upload the img file so i can flash it . Any help is really appreciated! tx & Cheers.
(i tried to search the forum but most topics been related to the extract tool.)

Any help here is surely appreciated!
if you don't find stock recovery, I think you can flash rom again; or extract file update.app to find stock recovery.
please anyone with solution or idea on how to fix a scatter text file like this:
¥¥´¥¥´¥´¥¥¥´´¥´´¥¥¥´¥¥¥¥¥´¥´¥¥´´´¥´´´¥´´´¥´´¥´¥¥´¥´´¥¥¥´´´¥´´¥¥¥´´´¥´¥´¥¥´´´¥´´´¥´¥´¥´¥¥¥¥¥´´´¥´¥¥´´´´´´´¥´´´´´¥¥¥´´´¥´¥¥¥¥¥´¥¥´¥¥´´´´´
found this in a rom I downloaded for my device: very Kool Cyprus ll S6500. 3.18.19 Linux mt6580 device
i always get this popup when trying to flash via sp flash tool
ERROR: STATUS_SCATTER_FILE_INVALID (0xC0030001)
The scatter file format is invalid
thanks in advance
That's not a scatter file. From where you got the firmware?
Here is guy having the same problem. See his post for a 6580 scatter file.

No preloader file? If your preloader is ok, it's better to uncheck its checkbox anyway.

yes my preloader is okay. I don't tick it when flashing.
Thanks for that.
