- Try the tool on a different PC.
- Replace the DA file with one from the firmware package or a DA specific to your MediaTek SoC.
- Try toggling “DA DL All with Checksum” or disabling checksum in Options (some combinations help).
- Use the “preloader” option carefully: if scatter includes preloader, uncheck it to avoid bricking if you’re unsure.
- Try using a low-level tool (like MTK USB Preloader drivers with test point method) only if experienced.
