How to Install Stock ROM on Vivo Y12s (Firmware File)

Not everyone requires a high powered smartphone. For some, a big battery device to make phone calls and click a few pictures is enough. Catering to those people’s needs, Vivo launched a budget device a couple of months ago in 2020. The device came out of the box with Android 10 and FuntouchOS 11. This was an entry-level smartphone. The device is promised to receive Android 11.

In this guide, we have the latest stock ROM flash file for the Vivo Y12s PD2060F powered by a Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 processor. To install the firmware flash file, we need software called the SP Flash tool which can be helpful to flash the stock ROM on your device. The method is simple and easy. We have also added video and step by step tutorial to make things easier to flash the official flash file.

This process is helpful if you have bricked your device, lag, or shuttering performance, to fix Bluetooth and WiFi issues, to unroot or bypass the FRP lock. So without further wasting our time, let’s understand what is stock firmware flash file.
