I just made a full dump of the rom and swapped out the recovery files, boot, and vbmeta. I wiped it then flashed it with mtkclient with the wl out command. It wont exit brom(i used mtkmeta utility for brom and not the TP and i think that messed it up). I sent the mtkclient devs a question and trying as many methods as i think of. A fix is bound to arise.

MTKMeta was your problem It states in the description that the tool might mess our phones up, the A12 is one of the phones listed to not use with the tool at this point in time. It breaks the phone Not sure why

Yeah kinda missed that small print welp

I figured it out.extract all files in bl, ap, csc, cp(must be firmware you were on). convert from lz4 to img if need be theres a tool for it. In mtk client you have to flash the partitions individually. So python mtk printgpt to see all your partitions then flash all the files to their partitions(python mtk w boot exampleboot.img). I just made a script to install everything from the run.example. After you get it all installed i held volume down and power and it rebooted into download mode then just use odin after that.
