I want to root my tecno camon 18, CH6, it was yesterday when i downloaded the OTA updates, which upgraded my android version from 11 to 12, also i found the ROM of my device with the exact build number as my phone after upgrading the software,

I have rooted my phone with the adroid version 9 there before, therefore atleast i understand the rooting procedures, but it was easy for me since i found every thing needed to root my phone, (Boot image, empty vbmeta, DA-file),

The problem comes on rooting my current phone(TECNO CAMON18), Since i lack the exact empty vbmeta file for my phone model, as well as the DA,

Please i need your help on how i can go about it, to ensure my phone will be safe after rooting.

U need to back up firmware to obtain boot and recovery if using a only device
And u can as well download the updated twrp for your phone that supports a12 and flash , from there u can flash magisk.zip

,i have already unlocked the bootloader, but concerning the twrp for my camon18, it is like my partition lacks the recovery partition since it contains a super.img partition.

More my device has A/B partition system,

U only install recovery into ramdisk ,

When u do fastboot boot twrp.img

Then u go twrp advance and select install current twrp
Or install recovery ramdisk and then select your twrp and flash and also flash magisk zip

But if u are getting error booting the twrp
U do the following
Fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Adb push boot.img /sdcard
Adb push twrp.img /sdcard
Adb push magisk.zip /sdcard

Then back to twrp the flash boot into boot partition and the go to advance and flash recovery ramdisk
And also install magisk.

.but if u don't have twrp for your phone u can build using GitHub action

FEEDBACK ON ROOTING TECNO CAMON18

thanks to hovatek , i was able to root my tecno camon 18(CH6) safely, using your guides,

I UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER USING FAST BOOT AND ADB COMMANDS,

Link :-. https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html
(Command i used was FASTBOOT FLASHING UNLOCK)

(THEN)

I BACKED UP MY ENTIRE ROM { CH6-H6912D-S-OP-221125V381 } Using MTKCLIENT.

Link:- https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-40865.html

AFTER BACKING UP MY ROM I NOW HAD THE BOOT IMAGE OF MY DEVICE,
(THEN)
I PATCHED MY BOOT IMAGE USING MAGISK,AND FLASHED IT TO MY PHONE USING MTKCLIENT

Link:- https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html

Thank you so much, I've successfully rooted mine also. I didn't know of mtk client until yesterday as I have been using cm2.
That aside, did you skip flashing empty vbmeta? You didn't mention it in the tutorial but in my case I did flash it.
