Sorry with scatter it refused to flash, but restore flash by nck it flashed successful. The phone is like 2 months old. Was wondering if the warrant will be void if I opened it. Pliz advice.

warranty would probably be void once you loosen the phone but thats the best way to check if what you really flash is compatible with your phone or not
can we see a screenshot of the content of the file and the file size of what you restored using nck?
also what error do you get when you try flashing scatter file?

It's android 8.1 Go edition. The restore file reads 14.5 GB, don't have screenshot but this the error message:

Starting flash.
Send preloader...
(6045)Error:
S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND
Wait until phone will start charging.
All done.

you'll only be allowed to flash -sign firmware files i.e official firmware
after restoring this 14.5GB backup of yours, whats the present condition of the phone?
can the phone still boot into recovery mode?
whats the build number of the scatter file firmware that gives the sign header error when trying to flash?
also, how did you get this scatter file firmware?

Nck doesn't give build no, can't read with cm2. Didn't read build no before formatting. Can't boot into recovery. I read scatter file from another working KA7 phone.

Did you read before formatting or after?
Did the flashing complete?
Are you using DA for the operations?
OPen the phone to view some info on the board.

Have you tried disconnecting/reconnecting the phone's battery and charging it for few hours?

I read after formatting (bad for me) coz I wanted to flash with another bin file and the flashing completed with bin but didn't complete with scatter. I used DA from hovatec. Wanted to exhaust all available solutions before opening coz of warranty issues. Thanks.

At this point and from the info you have given,
1 you read an invalid data because you already formatted before reading
2 The .bin you flashed does not match
3 you already voided warranty unless you can get the exact rom that was factory installed and write it back
4 Getting the factory installed rom depends on your ability to know the exact build of your phone.

WAYS OUT

1 Download and try the roms you find online
2 the faster way.... open the phone to find part of the build number on a sticker on the board, then download firmware for that build.
