I recently bought a Tecno Camon X Pro to replace my Samsung J7.  Most of my apps used root so I faced problems trying to use them on the Tecno.  I have searched for possible ways to root the Tecno device but failed. I used Kingroot,  iroot, kingoroot, framroot among others to try to root but failed. I even used both android and desktop versions. Using SuperSU isn't possible since I could not find a custom recovery app compatible with my phone.  Thanx guys for the help in advance

The easiest way is too root it using TWRP Recovery, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21839.html
First download this file: https://download.chainfire.eu/1122/Super...eve_file=1
and place it on your Internal storage or SD Card and that's recommended.
After making your own TWRP recovery you need to flash it using SP Flash tool, but you will need the scatter file. You can get your stock ROM components from here: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23177.html
After flashing the TWRP Recovery, open up recovery mode on your phone using Power button and Volume up button, (select Recovery if it's shown if it's not then TWRP Recovery should open without doing anything.) after that select install
Then select the SuperSU file you've downloaded. (If you downloaded the file on SD Card then change the storage to SD Card).
Then swipe to flash.
Reboot the system.
Your phone must be rooted.
If you want to get your stock recovery back you can easily flash the stock recovery using SP Flash tool.

I noticed the rom files are written for Camon X or CA7. Mine is Camon X Pro or CA8. Will it not be a problem if I use it.

It's best to use the recovery for your build to prevent root failure and boot loop.

backup your phone's firmware using wwr @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html
grab boot.img and root using magisk manager @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
If you still need custom recovery after rooting the phone then port using the tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21839.html
Note: Camon X Pro has a secure boot, so you will need Download Agent to readback on sp flash tool. Get DA @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23243.html
