I tried flashing my Tecno spark 5 pro with a firmware I got here from hovatek using sp flash tool without disabling verified boot, it failed and showed error sec img_type mismatch, at this point the phone entered red mode and started rebooting so I tried using software download tool, at first it failed then I generated checksum and tried again, this time it went a bit further but failed again saying the same error sec img type mismatch. Pls the phone is still in red mode and won't flash what can I do?

try flashing each of the files one after the other, note all that fail with this verified boot error
then retry flashing all that failed using spft along with the DA @ https://mega.nz/file/Q4JHUKpL#kdCWpu_602...Z8IBk9t6dU
OR then retry flashing all that failed using miracle thunder 2.82 @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14106.html
let me know if any works

I've tried that it still showed the same error, and with miracle thunder it says boot not support or cpu bad with boot8 but the phone still comes on to red mode and I even tried boot 11 and 15 but when it gets to downloading boot it just stops

there were two things mentioned above for you to try, did you try the da above in spft?

from your MT error, you failed to use the da file for this model in MT, ensure to follow the guide for miracle @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23733.html
you should get a message "using external boot" rather than boot8 if you are using the right da in miracle thunder

Cm2 tool will do the job.its will write the needed files for the phone to work again with ultra supported.
