[Realme C12 Guides, News, & Discussion] HemanthJabalpuri:
Here I will share some links that are related to Realme C12 and also about Realme mobiles.

Realme C12 comes with Android 10 and upgradable to Android 11. Realme C12 is powered by Mediatek Helio G35(MT6765G).

Realme C12 has a community officially for sharing issues, discussions and feedbacks at here.

Realme C12 is by default came with LOCKED bootloader. We can't even able to boot into fastboot mode until we unlock it with In-depth test app. Realme gave permission to unlock our mobile on 2nd March 2021. See this

Realme C12 firmware .ozip is NOT encrypted, i.e., we can simply add .zip extension to it and unzip it easily like normal zip files.

Before, we have to wait for someone to develop a custom rom and a custom recovery to flash it. But with the advent of Project Treble, we can simply flash a GSI in Treble enabled devices in fastbootd in an unlocked bootloader device and enjoy! More info is available at here, here and here

We(Realme C12 users) don't have official flash tool support to flash stock rom from PC. SP Flash Tool does not work(key combo for this is Vol Up(+) and Vol Down(-) at same time) because of no DA file. Only Service Centre will help to flash stock rom when you can't able to boot to recovery and fastboot mode with official tools.

Hopefully, some great developers discovered a exploit that can overcome this. It is MTK-bypass. I can be used to unbrick if something goes wrong. See this, this for example.

A.95 is the last UI 1.0(Android 10) version for Realme C12. It has June 2021 security patches. We can see info about this update at here.
