NOTE: A scatter file is what tells SP Flash Tool where to flash various parts of the firmware on your phone’s EMMC.

2. Install MediaTek MT6757 Helio P20 preloader drivers

If you don’t already have MTK Preloader Drivers installed, we’ll go through that step now. NOTE: If you get an unsigned driver error and can’t continue with the driver install, then go to step #3. NOTE: Use #1 pack or #2 pack. Do not need to use both.

  1. Open the MTK adb vcom auto install driver pack #1 in WinRAR / unZip
  2. No need to extract, double click DriverInstall.exe or installdrv64.exe for x64 bit Windows
  3. Allow any permission requests
If MTK MediaTek preloader vcom driver pack #2, click here
  1. Open the MTK MediaTek auto vcom driver install pack #2, and go to Win7_WinXP folder for 7 / XP, or Win8 folder for Windows 8 / Windows 10.
  2. No need to extract, double click DriverInstall.exe
  3. Allow any permission requests
  4. When you see “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software”, click “Install this driver software anyway”
  5. At the end you shoold see something like this

3. Turn off driver signature enforcement

Do this step if:

  • You don’t already have MediaTek preloader drivers installed

and

  • Getting error from Windows telling you drivers are unsigned and can’t be installed with pack #1 or pack #2
