Hello fellow Android users, I need help, I need answers, I want to flash an Android 12 stock ROM into my device, I'm currently running Tecno Spark 7P, Android 11 based on HiOS. I really hate this OS
I can unlock my bootloader but I need to know if there's any compatible android 12 stock ROM which has scatter.txt I heard Mediatek devices don't support custom roms and custom recovery
Yes my recovery is stock, any help, answers or suggestions would be really appreciated ❤️

You can search online for those.
There are available Android 12 GSI ROMs too, your device should be compatible for those.
You can download Treble checker on the play store to know which version you can install.

I have treble support, I have found a GSI, I just need a guide on how to set it up, I don't want to make a mistake, I have the stock ROM of my device downloaded from this forum so I won't worry about flashing

Yeah I can flash it with fastboot if u have unlock bootloader,open android platform tools and copy the extracted custom GSI u download and also copy the vbmeta into the platform tools folder and open CMD on that folder platform tools folder

1: download the GSI and extract it using zarchiver or 7zip for PC to get .omg
2:flash the hovatek empty vbmeta into vbmeta partition,ie reboot to bootloader either from stock recovery or using adb reboot bootloader
3: flash vbmeta that's fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
4:reboot to fastbootd by typing fastboot reboot fastboot (to make ur pc detect it in fastbootd mode open device manager and look for what the phone detect as and update it to android bootloader using the android USB driver that u downloaded
4:now in comman type fastboot erase system
5:now type fastboot delete-logical-partition product(specified your current boot slot if is a the n it should be product_a)
6:fastboot flash system (then type your custom rum name that u copied)
It will look like fastboot flash system system.img
After it finish flashing type fastboot reboot recovery and then do factory reset inside stock recovery
And reboot the phone
