Navigate to your firmware folder and open the MT67xx_Android_scatter.txt file using a text editor like Notepad++.
Newer versions include updated Scatter-loading files and driver support for modern MTK platforms. 2. Load the Correct Download Agent (DA)

Look at the very first few lines for the target platform string (e.g., platform: MT6765 ). platform mt67 not supported on this version
If building AOSP/LineageOS:
On modern operating systems like Windows 11 or Windows 10, you must temporarily disable via the Advanced Startup menu to allow unsigned MTK kernel drivers to bind correctly.
If your device has a locked bootloader, you may also need to load an authentication file ( .auth ) in the third row of the tool. Step 4: Verify the Scatter File Navigate to your firmware folder and open the
Older iterations of the tool (such as early v5 configurations) lack the updated configuration files and authorization definitions required to recognize newer MT67xx platform layouts.

In this detailed guide, we will dissect what the "MT67 platform" refers to, why this error appears, which devices are affected, and—most importantly—how to fix it.
When staging a firmware write sequence within the tool interface, look at the partition tick-boxes and uncheck the preloader option . Writing an incompatible preloader binary can permanently destroy your device's core boot sector, leading to a hard-brick state that cannot be fixed without hardware servicing.
