[Redmi Note 2 General] jajk:
Another must have to recover from the inevitable bricking is the MT6795_Android_scatter.txt file to allow flashing or backup before it is too late. Tested to work with SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1548.00.000

Xiaomi do not provide a proper one with their ROMs so here it is from an identical phone (copy and paste into a text file)

You may well ask how I came to need to know this.............
