It's file manager/magisk issue that's why I recommend using magisk-debug canary so everyone can provide proper logs with bug reports. . I've got same problems using total commander. But on root explorer I can easily edit files in system. Vendor I can edit only in TWRP's file manager.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] necsynx:
Is that relock BL can use Google pay?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:
Yep soorry i forgot to add a question mark after my question
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
I used the magisk u provided. Is that the debug one? Solid explorer won't let me replace system files, I have not tried vendor yet but twrp replacement in system worked for build prop. I will try root explorer.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Also this says that magisk isn't fully working on our devices. Needs some logs being sent to canary thread to get it fixed, also regarding that bulid.prop mess on Realme devices. I don't have enough time last days to do it properly.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Shouldn't it be possible for you (as you got the update) to test ist by yourself and not having to ask in realme forum and wait for an answer?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:
Well I have been testing my A** out since 5 days ..with multiple redos and re-setups of the phones ..no harm in asking others ...thats y u are here too right ???

BTW i submitted 4 bugs on realme website with a logcat ...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I absolutely didn't want to offend you in any way! But if I got an update (and as it seems there are only a few people that got tsht device an/or that update) I just simply would test it myself ?

Of course I'm here because of that, too. Because my decision pro or contra buying this phone significantly relies on the fact if there will be a way of rooting and not lose the fingerprint scanner.

And once again, I didn't want to offend you. Sorry if it sounded like that ?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
I got build.prop replaced, but it looks like su binaries not completely in per your screenshot. Have you pinged johnwu for this?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:

No worries bro!!!! ...i hope realme comes out with a hot fix soon .. as many ppl are loosing their mind with the fingerprint issue..

I also noticed one more bug ... the screen cast does not work . Not sure its my android TV or this phone ....the cast button works perfectly ..but screen mirroring of the phn to TV does not....
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellsblade:
I remember OnePlus with the oneplus5t. They made it possible. But for making Widevine l3 to l1 you had to send the phone back?.

I hope RealMe can make it work with an update on the bootlocker tool or OTA update.

From al I read until now it's al about the way the L1 certificate that's on a different partition is NOT being read at boottime.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
As stated here: https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/11/...er-unlocks-every-smartphones-models-in-china/

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Polarfuchs:
Don't you find the news confusing that supposedly all Chinese realme x2 pro have been unlocked, that would mean no Chinese customer can use the fingerprint reader any more?

Or did they actually only provide the opportunity and every customer has to manually unlock it? (same as in Europe)
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
The first lines really sound confusing, but it's clearer some lines below:
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
I updated to A07 but via the stock recovery.

Then it works to flash twrp.

But when i reboot in recovery and there flash the patch followed by Magisk Canary it doesn't boot anymore.

Is there a different patched file for A07 then it was for A06? Before i was able to root using your guide when i was on A06
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
You need to remove boot verification via chinese twrp or flash patched vbmeta.img from my OneDrive via fastboot.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
It worked, thank you very much, I forgot the step to Disable TWRP rewrite
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:
Can some one actually escalate this issue to senior members of XDA ...cause if this fingerprint disabling is permenant . .we are In for some serious f**kups.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:
i just went and checked up realme 5 pro and realme x root/twrp/unlock bootloader XDA pages....and no one reported any finger issue on those phones...so technically fingerprint issue should be fixed on realme x2 pro too soon i guess ..cause if this was intentionally done by realme for security reasons they would have done for their other phones too ...i just hope the fix comes soon.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Quit crying over Fingerprint, we don't need it here.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellsblade:
Sorry to bother you but I think it's a bit harsh mister Jerry08. Had a bad night?

We are just all stunned with this sat back.

Maybe you can guide us poor fingerprint users in the right direction?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MixEvo:
I agree!!! I'd much rather have a OP7t rom port or any global style rom for that matter to put on my CN X2 pro , its worth the fingerprint issue to me. I wish i knew how to make or port roms !!!

but i thank you Jerry08 for what you have done so far
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
I'll reply last time regarding FP. Tell me:

Which manufacturer assure you that everything will work after bootloader unlocking? Knows? I'll tell you, none. Seems people forget this thing. And crying over it doesn't help at all. Even worse. Don't like it? Than leave. Another way would be to learn some programming and fix it on yourself, but seems you're not capable of this. So use device the way it's supposed to by manufacturer(means stay on locked bootloader).
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:

To make this more productive:

Please go to the realme forum and kindly ask for the feature of fingerprint with open bootloader there, as I have done already:

https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1201215999353815040?comment=1201237884766519296

So this thread can then focus on the main topic --> Bootloader unlock guide.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] -Tiz-:
In my view, this is a serious issue that deserves a separate topic. I will not buy a phone without fingerprint. And I will for sure not use a phone without root (i.e. a phone that does not allow me to fully control my property). Only a rooted phone allows you to install security software protecting your privacy.

I will wait whether this issue can be solved. If not, I will wait for the Xiaomi K30 Pro.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:

Casting pearls before swine

OK. its no use complaining here about what manufacturers do with their phones thats without question. (Casting pearls before swine also isn't)

This forum IMHO should be about helping each other. I am not a programmer I never will be. But if whipping up some info about whats maybe the root cause is not of your liking I will shut up (in this thread anyway).

Thank you.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Guys, just open a topic about that issue here...

When this issue is only pointed in in this thread it will never get attention it "deserves".

I won't open a thread because I don't own a X2 Pro (yet) just because of this ridiculous policy.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
sorry to bother again about this, but for A07 update do we need a newer build.prop_patch ?

I see the old one has A06 written inside it, I cannot get Magisk to work other than in Core Mode now
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Updated bulid.prop patch on my OneDrive to A.07.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
thank you very much, much appreciated, I did the whole process again:

flash stock recovery

boot to stock recovery and install A07 update

reboot to system and coonect to PC

adb reboot to bootloader

flash latest official twrp 3310

reboot to twrp

flash the A07 build.prop patch

then tried to flash Magisk......

Error 1 cannot mount /System

I think is related to flashing vbmeta.img, I did that last time when I flahsed the older build.prop, could this corrupt the /system partition ?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
What TWRP do you use? Use chinese TWRP.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
Thank you, I will try again the CN one.

I used mauronofrio's official from the twrp website:

https://twrp.me/realme/realmex2pro.html

Allegedly it should allow flashing indian updates but it didn't in my case so it was not much use

edit: using twrpcen worked, now I got again FULL Magisk after update to A07
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Magisk were running in core only mode cause bulid.prop patch wasn't making any changes while flashing via mauronofrio TWRP. The problem with mauronofrio TWRP is something with selinux. And I have no time and idea how to fix it for now.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] necsynx:

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
He had to remove boot verification to fix it.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tsoureki:
Exactly. Thanks for detailed tutorial by the way. On Chinese TWRP you have to go at advanced and select to flash "close AVB2.0" only the first option

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Did you properly flash magisk like it in guide? Do you have latest magisk canary? Check if it doesn't work in core mode, as that might be the thing.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Isavar:
Hi Jerry

answer to the first question Is correcto I followed your guide point a point. A the second question I'm not sure what you mean I installed and flash everything you say in your guide. And magisk doesn't Work in corte mode

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
You need custom patch and it doesn't flash through mauronofrio. 11. Still needs twrpcnen for properly working magisk.

Good news is that A.08 fixes fingerprint with unlocked bootloader.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
You need to lock and unlock bootloader to get fingerprint sensor working.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hecke92:
Don't really get it:

I have stock phone with latest update so bootloader is locked.

I now need to

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Lock bootloader

3. Unlock bootloader

These are the steps?

Thanks
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
If you updated to A.08 on locked bootloader you just need unlock. Relocking is needed if you update to A.08 on unlocked bootloader.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hecke92:
Thank you so much buddy.

Everything was working - at first.

Then I tried to uninstall YouTube music and after rebooting I was in a bootloop. I always came back to bootloader and could get into twrp from there but not into system.

Hi,

After installed latest a08 I tryed to install via twrp latest magisk canary 20.3 and it work only in core mode.

I tryed install build prop patch a07 but after when I reboot system smartphone entered in recovery mode.

Any suggestion on what kind of magisk I can use or new build prop patch to use for working magisk?

Thanks

update to A.08

[MENTION=5492063]Jerry08[/MENTION]

As you may remember, I rooted the phone with your help. Since then I have a perfect running system with Chinese TWRPCNEN latest Magisk canary based on A.06.

I have built up my phone perfectly so I do not want to loose everthing again by locking/unlocking bootloader just to get fingerprint sensor working. However, I'd like to update to A.08. Is following procedure correct and should work without problem?

1. Go into chinese TWRPCNEN and install RMX1931EX_11_OTA_0080_all_ZPSMKJmsn9jM.ozip

2. Install x2 Pro_A.08.bulid.prop_patch.zip also from within TWRPCNEN

3. Install latest magisk canary also from within TWRPCNEN or can I drop this and reboot after Step 2. directly into System?

Tks a lot!
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Yes you have to flash latest magisk(doesn't have to be canary, 20.2 should work also)every time you flash ozip cause flashing ozip will replace boot.img. There's also vbmeta.img replaced while flashing ozip so you have to flash "close Avb2.0/remove boot verification" from advanced menu in twrpcnen so you don't get boot/recovery damaged message.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lucaxxaa:
Is tru that after update a08 if unlock bootloader, fingerprint work ?

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Don't know. But mostly likely I predict some fail with encryption/decryption. You need to format data.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Updated guides and uploaded magiskfix by wzsx150 to my OneDrive. So now you can use mauronofrio TWRP.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
Hi. Except that I'm worried about rooting my device, I have a question, very important for me.

I've always read that rooting will disable FP sensor.

This morning I've just updated my EU version device to latest release (screenshot).

Do you know if rooting will stop FP too? Or, is there a way I can check it (before rooting, obviously)?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
On A.08 fingerprint works on a rooted phone.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
Wonderful! Thank you very much!

One last question. In OP there's the guide to unlock bootloader. It has to be done only when we want to go back to full stock, right? Because I've seen it will replace recovery and do a factory reset (no more magisk). Am I right?

Sorry, I forgot a couple of things. DRM L3 means counter, like Knox for Samsung?

By the way, I've only rooted Samsung and LG devices. This procedure is very different but not too harsh. Are there HIGH RISKS of bricking?

I am a person who always read the steps 10 times before trying, but misfortune is always behind the corner...

Plus I've just read this thread (https://xdaforums.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/bricked-phone-help-t4029927) and still seems no solution, so I'm worried about this end.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Polarfuchs:
The first part "unlocking bootloader" is for rooting.

The second part "locking bootloader" is only needed when you want to go back to factory/stock phone
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
Thank you for the clarification.

On LG root could be maintained also after relocking BL, but on realme we can keep root only with unlocked BL.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
Eureka! It worked. But I don't know why, even if I already am on A08, it ask me to update to A08.

If I want to do a factory reset, should I do it from twrp or from system?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Edit:

I updated first post with updating ColorOS guide.

This is the only way for now to update to newest version via twrp. After you update you won't be getting update notification until real new version will arrive.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
If possible, can you add in OP, in the "How to lock Bootloader" guide, if the latest .ozip we have to download is the latest official release or the latest OTA. I've just checked out of curiosity and I've seen that in official release we can see what region each .ozip is for, but in OTA section no.

This makes me think we have to download the latest Official Release .ozip, but I'm not absolutely sure.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
Locking bootloader guide is also there. But you don't need to lock bootloader, just download update via official OTA app and follow "Updating ColorOS on rooted phone via TWRP" and you will be good.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
Yes I know it's already in OP that guide. I checked because I don't feel too many benefits after BL unlocking. I did it principally to change launcher and freeze some apps, but I'm having worse battery life, so I was thinking to maybe relock it, but I did'nt understand which one was the correct .ozip to download.

I checked in RealmeUpdater.com site and this is what i found:

in Official.jpg screenshot the country is visible, but in OTA it isn't.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry08:
If you frozen Athena app from system/app that might be the thing causing worse battery life as this app seems to control Smart Power Saver service.

As if you want to be sure which ozip download to lock bootloader, download also update via official app if you still have possibility and follow locking bootloader guide. Location of ozip file you have in updating cOS guide.
