I'm a dork

Did you try formatting the SDcard with APARTED from the google play store? Maybe format as an ext4, or format in CWM recovery, then boot back up, sometimes a format in CWM recovery causes the phone to think it's corrupted, doesn't always like the CWM formats and will want to format it. Say yes to the format and then it starts to read it. Also, if you try to format it as an ext4 with APARTED it might do the same thing, not like the ext4 and want to fix it.

WOW, with all the farting around with scatter files, I some how originally managed to mix mine up with the THL, I do stupid stuff like that when play with the hex and numbers for to long. The hex codes work if you leave them in the original scatter as is, but I like to try to make it all match.

Ya, just looked, did it when I saw that the THL had a smaller cache, when updating my scatter, and stealing the jacking the THL EBR1, must have saved it in the THL directory. It worked you said, interesting, that is crazy, really interesting, wow. I'm going to fix that the right way, that's bad, I need to start saving these scatter under the name of the device so I don't do that bad bad thing again..

Ok, strike that, just downloaded what I had attached for the doogie, THL and zte, they are all the correct, modified, scatter files. I had opened them wrong, maybe you did the same thing, LOL and was looking at them thinking the Doogie was the THL and the THL was the Doogie. Wow, I was really freaking out.

What I had changed was the partition sizes, the linear should not be changed, this would brick your phone. Then you have to format because whenever you put something on that is different, like on a different linear address, it stays until you format. Also, if you had put my scatter for your rom, it would have probably bricked. THen you would have never been able to fix it until you formatted because all the address would have been wrong. Also, spflash would tell you that the rom has changed and you have to do a firmware upgrade, won't let you just download.

I'm also going to take a look at the ZTE again.

I almost bought the zte open but liked what this irulu better, and the price was the same as the ZTE Open. THe irulu is a 7 inch, has 3g, front and back camera and an FM radio. Only tick is that the screen has this weird like whirlpool when opening applications. It's actually was designed for young children, so it's sturdy, I would rather have heavy and sturdy, some of these high price devices are built really badly. My first android was the verizon HTC one incredible and it died after 6 weeks, just went off one day. I took it apart not to long ago, actually had it sitting around for 2 years. The cables for the touch are so flimsy and basically scotch taped down, no ****, brand new phone from radio shack under contract. Except the guy who was paying the contract bailed out so the warranty was voided, sucked.

About that forum, that is really interesting, hmm, ya, I might have to take that into consideration for my tablet. Maybe that's how I can utilize all the space without have the extra mb left over without bricking.

I have a scatter from Irulu.com tht is for a mtk6572, that's how I figured out the EBR. Wanted to see what would happen if I flashed their firmware on mine, I think it was my first risk so it didn't work, the scatter is different, and the fat on that is 0x0 for the partition. Anyways, think what happen is that spflash didn't load the preloader.bin and I just assumed it was the firmware, because it actually worked when I used my scatter well sorta, acted buggy. I'm going to have to try that again though with their scatter and see what happens.
