How to root Tecno Camon 12 air?
So I was able to root Tecno Camon 12 Air. Turned out the biggest hurdle was to unlock bootloader which can be unlocked as follows:
Unlocking Bootloader
Use this command: fastboot getvar unlocked to check the phone’s Bootloader status (whether it’s locked or unlocked). If the Bootloader is already unlocked then you should see “Unlocked”
If locked you need to run the following command:
fastboot flashing unlock

And then reboot:
fastboot reboot

Alternative commands are fastboot oem unlock and fastboot oem unlock-go
