Hello,

I'm very close to insanity now with trying to install cybermaus' custom rom for the A789 for the past 6 hours. I followed the instructions in this thread:

The first thing it tells you to do is read another guide here, which I have read countless times:

http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.nl/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html

I have installed the drivers fine. I have two issues (so far) which are driving me insane:

1. Where on earth am I supposed to be getting this scatter file from? I have downloaded various versions from here there and everywhere over the internet. There is also one in the TWRP_recovery_v2.3.1.1_for_A789.zip file (which is with the ROM file on cybermaus' Dev-Host page) which I have tried (by the way that zip file is mentioned no where in any of these guides so god knows if that is involved or not). Where does the scatter file need to be placed in relation to the rom? When I load the scatter file into Flash Tool I either get all the file locations blank, and all the memory region address, begin address and end addresses all blank as well. Or if I extract the contents of the ROM zip file (A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21.zip) and put the scatter file (one that I found on GSM Forums) into the same folder with the extracted rom contents I get ONLY the BOOTIMG with a location but still no memory addresses and it doesn't work anyway. I cannot get it to find a location of everything in the "Names" column (ie PRELOADER, DSP_BL, MBR, EBR1 etc) as it shows in the guides.I am following the guides exactly and have tried so many things to attempt to do this!

2. How, in gods name, does the A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 file get flashed at all according to these guides? Is it just me or does the actual ROM not get mentioned at all anywhere in both guides?? I CLEARLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS and I don't want to be unfair but I don't feel like it's been explained very well !! Is the scatter file supposed to somehow tell the Flash Tool where the ROM is?? Do they have to be in the same folder?? Does the ROM have to be extracted or it remains as .zip?? Cybermaus himself in another post about scatter files says "I have seen several people asking 'where to find the scatter file'. Well, it comes with the ROM you want to flash. If your ROM file does not come with a scatter file, then is not a ROM file that can be flashed with the flash utility, but with an open recovery." O K, so, where is the one with his rom?? Am I stupid or is it not there?

I have flashed other phones successfully in the past with CWM where the guides had clear instructions on how to download and install CWM, then download the .zip file of the rom and then boot to CWM and install it, however this phone has none of that and I just can't see how this is supposed to work. Other people have clearly been able to do it!

Please can someone guide me a bit and explain to me what I have to do, considering I have followed the guide exactly a billion times and it does not work (for me anyway). Usually I find getting the drivers to work the annoying bit but this whole scatter file thing, WTF???

I would appreciate any help!
