Files for Flashtool in MTK

Mensaje sin leer por Enigma » 18 Sep 2016, 17:45

Android is splitted in 6 main partitions. You have theses partitions:

boot It contains the Linux kernel. The device will not boot without this partition. Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.

System - As the name suggests, this partition contains the entire Android OS. This includes the Android GUI and all the system applications that come pre-installed on the device. Wiping this partition will remove Android from the device without rendering it unbootable, and you will still be able to put the phone into recovery or bootloader mode to install a new ROM.

Recovery - It contains the recovery system (android e3 recovery or CWM if you installed it, or some china shit ) The recovery partition can be considered as an alternative boot partition, that lets the device boot into a recovery console for performing advanced recovery and maintenance operations on it.

DATA - Contains your personal data (do not share it with a backup) So this partition contains the user’s data like your contacts, sms, settings and all android applications that you have installed. While you are doing factory reset on your device, this partition will wipe out, Then your device will be in the state, when you use for he first time, or the way it was after the last official or custom ROM installation.

Cache is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.

Misc This partition contains miscellaneous system settings in form of on/off switches. These settings may include CID (Carrier or Region ID), USB configuration and certain hardware settings etc. This is an important partition and if it is corrupt or missing, several of the device’s features will will not function normally.

But Android is one thing, your phone also have a lot of bios, firmwares, and bootloaders. Theses are not saved by traditional backup utilities such as CWM.

Theses partitions includes:

* UBoot - Very important, this thing is the low level bootloader. It starts Linux !
* Modem Firmware - used to dial with your GSM provider
* DSP Firmware - Make video playback smoother using DSP resources.
* NV - It's some kind of encryption key with some low levels parameters. Very important !
* Lots of misc stuffs - Like the boot logo, the kernel panics logs (record the boot-up errors to help the debugging process), etc ...
* Lots of important misc stuffs

Now how does a flashable image look like ?
Lets take a look at this NEO M1 ROM (see image)

And what does each image do ?
Boot.img : boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk, critical files necessary to load the device before the filesystem can be mounted. Having a wrong Boot.img on your phone can refuse it to boot !

cache.img Contains the cache data where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. not really needed and should be unticked when trying to flash a device.

Checksum.ini verifies md5 checksum , if you get a checksum error before flashing, just delete it ;)

EBR1, EBR2 Are your partitions. 1+2 Means 2 Partitions. You can also edit the size of them , Check out this thread : http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/Th ... 9T-MTK6582

UBOOT (LK.BIN) U-Boot is an universal boot loader for embedded systems, targeting different platforms including ARM. Uboot and BootIMG are important files on your phone. If your device is not booting or your display is not working ( black or stripes ) , you should reflash and check those files.

Logo.bin As the name suggests, this is your bootlogo It can be changed using this tutorial : http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/Th ... bin-Editor

MBR Stands for Master-Boot-Record. MBR is generally referred to as first sector (size : 512 bytes) of any partitioned drive whereas volume or partition boot record holds code to initiate booting and is invoked by MBR. So in short words, it defines your partitions.

Scatter File : Scatter is a file which is used to describe the loads of regions in a specific android device running MediaTeks ARM architecture. Bascially it tells the flash tool where to flash each image.

Preloader : this is really important. The preloader communicates with your PC. It´s needed when you want to flash your device. Due to the preloader your phone should be detected as a port on your pc and should be flashable. Downloading a wrong pre-loader can brick your phone , so be careful ! Never flash the preloader if not needed. There are different states of the pre-loader (like META Mode). Even when you think your phone is bricked, mostly you can revive it.

Recovery.img Thats you recovery. It must be "tailored" to each device. You cant flash a recovery image from a different device, but you can create your own CWM recovery using MTK droid tools.

Secro.img Is an important file for the baseband and the IMEI. You need to reflash it to rebuild the structure. But anyway you have to restore your IMEI too.

System.img As the name suggests, this partition contains the entire Android OS. You can try different system.img from other phones without a problem. just be sure to have a backup when you try them

User Data : Contains your personal data (do not share it with a backup) So this partition contains the user’s data like your contacts, sms, settings and all android applications that you have installed. While you are doing factory reset on your device, this partition will wipe out, Then your device will be in the state, when you use for he first time, or the way it was after the last official or custom ROM installation.

I hope this helps you to understand the rom structure
