[Please help] Tecno Camon 17 Pro CG8 MT6785 Bootloop and Not Flashing
(26-12-2021, 04:07 PM)iamonehood I flashed the empty vbmeta but still It is bootlooping
Also when backing up the rom the user data part took a long time
and still gave errors the user data alone was around 138gb when the error occurred so I have deleted the userdata from the backup rom the rest of the folder is about 8gb
So should I try to flash the hovatek roms with the mtk client
Or there is a way around the boot loop issues
(27-12-2021, 06:58 PM)kelvinchinedu Pls mind u that flashing the ROM gotten from here will format Ur data and imei maybe wipe
Pls first read Ur phone firmware using miracle thunder 2.82 to view Ur imei and write it out somewhere.
Then u can go ahead and write the firmware gotten from here.
(That is read info from miracle thunder)

First you need to know your original build no.

We don't really need userdata.
yours is AB so it doesn't have recovery partition.
Upload both boot_a and boot_b from your dump and provide a link.
Hopefully, boot_b hasn't been tampered with and should tell us your original build number
You should also specify what files you flashed to the phone via mtk client
(29-12-2021, 06:45 PM)iamonehood I checked both boot_a and boot_b
They all have the same fingerprint thus the V537 here
I think the boot command I issued earlier affected both the boot_a and boot_b
Thus, fastboot flash boot boot.img
I flash the whole firmware folder with the mtk client
The files that have same sectors flash successfully but others give error like those not flash able. I think the mtkclient just skip those files
But is super not the same as system?
Wanted to unpack the system image then check the build from there but it gives me errors
Is there any other way

You can use simg2img @ https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682868118 to convert to super.raw then unpack using 7zip . You can then unpack system.img if you know how to
(02-01-2022, 04:29 AM)iamonehood The Build Number is 211012V760
Was able to get the build number by renaming super.bin to super.img
Then using lmjtool to extract the super.img to a folder
Then mounted the system_ext_a.img to a folder then read the build.prob from there
i have attached some screenshot

That would be CG8-H854ABCLM-R-GL-211012V760
That's the firmware you need
