Hi Team Hovatek, I've been researching on the topic of flashing Android phone's bootloader to no vain. My question is this, can I for example download bootloader and firmware for a Nexus android P(Go Version) phone and flash it successfully into Tekno Spark K7, android 7.0?

First of all, can we agree on the bootloader you are talking about??

You want your Tecno to look like the Nexus (software)???

Are you referring to bootloader or preloader?
bootloader can't be flashed it can only be unlocked.
BTW, what's wrong with the tecno k7 and how did the problem start?

No, it doesn't have any problem. Just love playing around with Android. You're saying bootloader can't be flashed, well can it be updated?

you can't flash bootloader of nexus [any model or files from nexus for that matter] onto tecno k7
they don't even use the same chipset, not even closely related

While using Miracle Box v2.58, I realized that there's an option to writing to bootloader. Doesn't this mean it's possible to flash bootloader?

there's no option named "writing to bootloader"
attach a screenshot of the option you're referring to
