FAQs

I'm getting the "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it." Error, what should I do now?

Flash the vbmeta using this command :

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I'm getting the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" Error, does that mean that the images are corrupt?

No! Just ignore the error, if you get the "Finished" message it means that the image has been flashed without any issues.

Can I cross-flash images?(CN -> IN & vice versa)

Some users have reported that the images can't be flashed due to different partition sizes, proceed at your own risk!

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] acervenky:
I'm unable to understand your current situation, but if you're facing issues on locked bootloader, flashing stock .ozip should help.

If you're on unlocked bootloader, you can flash the provided images(CN variant only)

Hello i just spent 4 hours going through everything and always end up stuck!

First post should be a bit clear Please!

State if unlocking bootloader is a must!

State if CN version phones can flash EU version!

Just to let everyone know i have a CN version phone... i have unlocked my bootloader with the simple steps on realmeroot.com only trick you submit go back to right corner click it all around it will show success and u can follow the rest.... if needed more details let me know.

After unlocking i flashed each line as stated for the EU when i reach to system.img i have a failed error on 2/6 so it stops and on vendor.img on 2/2 and it stops showing error or the word failed! Then i enter boot loops... to solve this i just flash again everything related to CN version and all is perfectly okay!

To OP if you need any help testing let me know as i won't be using my phone with CN version its silly point!

Thank you for your hard work.

to a fun start with this phone !
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nrp31:
So the problem is that system.img and vendor.img on EU ROM is bigger than on CN ROM. So you need to increase the partition size of system and vendor partition so that the EU ROM can be installed. I need to use my phone for some work so cannot try out the same.

I have the CN version btw

Installing EU Rom in CN Variant.

Hello Friends.

I have a CN version phone, all i want is to install the EU version in it. Has anyone successfully installed EU Rom into CN version ? if yes please share your experience with proper procedure and links. Furthermore how can we install EU Rom into a CN version after our boot-loader is unlocked ? Any help will be appreciated.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] acervenky:
Yes, which FW version are you looking for?

No, you need to unlock bootloader first!

Realme has changed the partition sizes for EU and CN variants, which means you can't cross-flash without resizing partitions(which is not recommended)

I have TWRP Installed and I accidentally wiped everything but "Internal Data because I followed a guide on flashing the Android 10 GSI. The result was I bricked my phone and the GSI wasn't able to install either, so now I'm just trying to unbrick my phone with the stock images that you've gracefully provided. I need help, thank you.

I have a Chinese x2 pro. i upgraded to a13, then unlocked bootloader.

>> installed TWRP-3.3.1-1107 chinese version

>> accidentally wiped system and backups, and now im bricked.

installed root via twrp >> tried to uninstall root via twrp but it gives me error

i followed all the steps by [MENTION=4561985]acervenky[/MENTION] and had success with flashing all the IMGs but would still get the "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed"

so i tried flashing vbmeta using "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" command

but it says

fastboot: unknown option -- disable-verity

when that failed i tried flashing all the images again multiple times, all without any errors, i got thru "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed" but now im stuck in yellow realme logo.

ive also downloaded stock rom

RMX1931_11_OTA_0110_all_9ZZ7HAYLkrLP.ozip

and flashed it via twrp and the last part says

"Patching firmware images...

I had a similar issue, spent an hour on it, delete all the data but not usual system data wipe find the option that asks you to type "yes" after that I rebooted and it immediatly booted!

[MENTION=4561985]acervenky[/MENTION] It might be worth adding to your thread that to fix a bootloop all is needed is to reflash the correct version for our phone (CN,EU or IN) and then go to TWRP and do a FORMAT DATA (the one that requires us to type yes)

And by doing a data backup on TWRP beforhand and transfering it to my computer I was then able to restore everything I had before the failed flash.
