A scatter file is a plain-text configuration file that describes the of an Android device based on MediaTek (or similar) chipsets. It tells flashing software exactly where to write each firmware component on the eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) storage chip.
Are you trying to or just update the firmware? Do you have access to the original factory firmware files?
The file name MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt is a critical component for servicing legacy MediaTek-powered smartphones. Released in 2013, the MT6589 chip was MediaTek's first commercial quad-core system-on-chip (SoC) for budget and mid-range Android devices.

To unbrick or upgrade your MT6589 device, you must couple your scatter file with the SP Flash Tool. Follow these critical steps to execute a safe flash: Prerequisites:
"Okay, Lin," she whispered. "I’ve rewritten the map. I’m going to tell the tool that this messy, corrupted text file is actually a perfect coordinate system." Poor USB connection stability or a corrupted scatter
Convert StartAddr from decimal (if shown) to hex, and Size from bytes to hex. That gives you a raw scatter mapping.
: Identifies the specific partition. The ANDROID partition actually holds the system.img file (the core Android OS).
When you use (Smart Phone Flash Tool) to revive a dead MT6589 phone, the scatter file is the first file you load. Why?
