The firmware / stock ROM contains several files, the scatter file is just one of them and is about the smallest in size. The scatter file contains a blocks map which tells the flashing tool which partition to write the other files in your firmware to.
You're supposed to download the entire firmware, not just scatter file. The firmware can be downloaded via any device but flashing would be done on a PC

My phone is TECNO W4
1. So the scatter file is inside the firmware which i will download? and not in my phone?
2. Can you please tell me what is lk.bin or preloader and what is its function in flashing the firmware?
3. I want to flash a firmware, how can i unbrick my phone in case it is bricked?
4. Is it necessary to format or delete android recovery in the processes of flashing custom recovery?
