Mastering MTK Addr Files: The Complete Guide to Memory Mapping for MediaTek Devices

Method 2: Manual Creation Using Readback Logs

When using SP Flash Tool’s "Readback" feature, the tool shows the start address and length. Document these for each partition, then compile them into an addr file:

| Partition | Start (Hex) | Length (Hex) | |-----------|-------------|---------------| | preloader | 0x0 | 0x40000 | | nvram | 0x1E00000 | 0x500000 | | boot | 0x2400000 | 0x1000000 |

Save as device_name.addr in UTF-8 without BOM. mtk addr files

7. Tools That Use MTK Addr Files

• SP Flash Tool (official)
• Miracle Box / Thunder (commercial)
• CM2 MTK Module
• Odin MTK (Samsung MTK devices)
• mtkclient (open source, uses partition table fetched live)

4. Storage Variant Migration (The "Sizer" Tool)

A feature designed for technicians flashing different storage sizes.

• Scenario: You have a scatter file for a 128GB device, but the phone has 64GB storage.
• Action: The tool detects the end address exceeds the target storage limit.
• Fix: It automatically truncates

2. Bypassing Authentication & Defeating Locks

SP Flash Tool’s "Format All + Download" option requires an exact addr file to avoid erasing critical boot sectors. Similarly, unlocking a device with a locked preloader (like those on MT6765 and newer chips) often requires manual address injection via an addr file. Mastering MTK Addr Files: The Complete Guide to

B. Scatter File Synthesis

Since addr files often contain raw logic but lack the partition structure required by flashing tools (like SP Flash Tool), this feature generates a compliant MTK Scatter File:

• Auto-Detection: Detects chip architecture (MT6580, MT6735, MT6765, etc.) based on address patterns.
• Partition Naming: Automatically assigns standard partition names (e.g., boot, recovery, system) based on size and position heuristics.
• Output Generation: Exports a valid .txt scatter file ready for firmware flashing.

Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

| Task | Do you need an addr file? | |------|----------------------------| | Flash full ROM via SP Flash Tool | ❌ (Use scatter) | | Dump (read) full ROM via SP Flash Tool | ✅ (Requires addr) | | Dump single partition (e.g., boot.img) | ✅ (Addr with single entry) | | Unlock bootloader via MTK Client | ❌ (Uses GPT) | | Repair preloader on MT6580 | ✅ (Must write to exact address) | SP Flash Tool (official) Miracle Box / Thunder

Final tip: Always keep a copy of your device’s original scatter.txt and the derived addr file on cloud storage. When (not if) your device corrupts, you will thank yourself.

Common Pitfalls

• Mismatched versions – Using an address file from MT6785 on MT6789 can cause bus faults, hard hangs, or silent data corruption.
• Incorrect permissions – Writing to a read-only region (like efuse emulation ranges) may permanently lock settings.
• Overlapping ranges – Poorly merged address files lead to undefined behavior when two drivers claim the same memory space.
