On step 24 of https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html it mentions that items highlighted in pink are not needed when flashing.

If i am flashing to a formatted device, do i need to flash the pgpt and sgpt files as they contain the partition table?

the scatter file already tells the flash tool all partitions available and where to write each file to, so no you don't need pgpt or sgpt for a formatted device

how are the pgpt and sgpt files re-created incase we need to do a readback after flashing the firmware on a formatted device ?
