Why firmware backup in scatter format?
Most android users root their phone and install custom ROMs, it good to backup firmware before installing custom ROMs or rooting so that whenever the phone gets bricked we can fix it by flashing the firmware we backed up.
If one has a bricked phone can backup firmware using this guide from the working device (same) and flashes the firmware backed up to the bricked phone. Also, firmware files like recovery can be used to port custom recovery (e.g. TWRP or CWM) and boot can be used to root the phone.
