I bought a RM5P last evening and have a few queries

1. Playstore gets stuck at downloading and just does not proceed for most downloads. I have tried clearing data and cache to no avail

2. Does unloacking the bootloader void warranty (unlike Mi)? Would it break safetynet?

Advance thanks

I don't know why your devices are not unlocking, I think it would be something related to Mobile network operator specific locking, but I don't know. Your best bet is to ask why in the offcial Realme comunity:

https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1184734239149522944

I see many people already asked why they can't unlock it, you should join to them.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
1. If you root try WIPE Cache / Dalvik Cache from TWRP.

2. Warranty still applies with the notes only Unlock Bootloader, if you have made modifications such as installing TWRP, Install Magisk, etc. The warranty is no longer valid.

RM5PRO ROM into RMQ

[MENTION=5093179]faisalxp[/MENTION] I'm looking to install RM5PRO ROM into RMQ. I have tried Fastboot Image of RM5PRO that you have shared, but not succeeded. Currently, my RMQ Bootloader is unlocked, TWRP installed, and device is ROOTed.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Yeah I already know, so I informed the thread page that boot and recovery is only for Realme 5 Pro, not recommend for realme Q ... I don't have a device Realme Q device so I never tried flash cross region ... can you attach an error display when flashing fastboot on Realme Q? Maybe other members in this group can provide a solution
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Madhuvrata:
I'm on stock coloros a.13 with magisk and twrp. In order to update firmware I flashed stock recovery very. A.13. But when I try to choose .ozip file within the stock recovery interface (select from internal memory), I can see only rows of random digits and letters. It look like folders but with named with random digits and letters. Another thing is that, I can't choose SD card as well. Is there any solution? Is it possible to install .ozip through adb?
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shiwik:
That is because your data is encrypted. Stock recovery would unlikely work here. You may want to try using a custom recovery (not sure if that works). I am yet to play around with my RM5P
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Madhuvrata:
Any solution? Can you decrypt data from ROM ?

How to install this update?
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shiwik:
Ideally when you enter the password in the recovery, it should let you install. It is wierd it does not in this case. If you have an SD card, you may want to try copying it to that and see it that can be flashed through recovery. I dont have one so cant really comment but you could try

UPDATE:

Found an SD card and copied the ozip on the SD card and the update has started from the SD Card through recovery
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Madhuvrata:
All you have to do is to remove screen lock password. That's it. Problem solved

Is it posibble to just backup only the system of a.15

Then restore it to my a.11?

And also can anyone please link me for system backup only for RMX1971EX_11_A.11.

please help

i make a vendor flash the say flash failed : Volume Full
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Just WIPE Partition System and Vendor and Flash A.15 Firmware .OZIP again on TWRP or Stock Recovery.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mido hamdy:
is the performance better in the latest A15 Firmware? is it worth to upgrade?

I'm on A13 and rooted with magisk but multitasking is not good. [MENTION=5093179]faisalxp[/MENTION]
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Yes, but some users complain about battery draining a little faster before the update.

if you often use multitasking it is better to upgrade to A15, if you stay on A13 try to turn off the power saving feature or change the default animation value from 1X to 0.5X or off (Developer Menu) for better multitasking.

If your device is rooted, you might be able to disable bloatware or install magisk tweaks such as LKT, LSpeed, etc if it isn't enough to Tweak Kenel or build.prop.

the final decision is yours.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mido hamdy:
Thank you so much, i already tried everything from animation to buying fde app and removing all bloatware with turning off all battery optimization and using high performance mode but nothing improved.

Coloros realy is so bad in ram management even just only two chrome tabs and facebook can't remain in memory without reloadling.

I think coloros is the new lagging king that killed this device and making me sell it soon.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
i think so munch app runing on background example Log, Debug, Etc and i see collect and mining all activity and send to realme dropbox, i see to realme force GPU stay on power saver so animation process not optimal thats why performance realme not good.

Performance my device much better now after debloat or disable log app and bloatware using little tweak on build.prop.

Best choice i think use Custom OS but can not be separated on bug.

Should i update even though Realme.eu site last update is RMX1971EX_11_A.13 and not RMX1971EX_11_A.15
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Try check Region India or Other Region...Lastest now is RMX1971EX_11_A.15

Note : Realme 5 Pro all region is same, not diferent firmware.

It's interesting because my rom doesn't have any theme stores and this update brings some updates to theme store
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mangelfg70:
Last update lost FM Radio... ? No theme store Europe region...
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Seriously ... what region are you from? maybe before you have rooted and disabled bloatware like theme stores or other. or maybe some region have not permission using thats app.

Try changing the Region to another in the Settings Language and Region menu, reboot after that or flash again .ozip... I think there maybe a policy or configure on the device realme that does not allow using the application in certain regions.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mangelfg70:
I have changed region .. there are no changes .. I downloaded Indian firmware .. I installed it and without fm radio .. any solution? i need fm radio apk .. anyone?

[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:

And I download RMX1971EX_11_A.16

But after trying to update it said fail

How to update to a.16 help please.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Hmmm Update witch File Manager Color OS ?

Try Flahs Stock Recovery Firmware A.11 and boot to Recovery Stock and Flash it.

Or ucan use Latest TWRP https://drive.google.com/file/d/17CW3CoyVKpg8Cu9xzhn6Q4lcJ9Tug2zL/view?usp=sharing

RMX1971EX_11_A.16 this update I was traying to flash via twarp and fail said it was currupt idk why the heck currupt I got full 2.20gb file.

Also tried in stock recovery update fail.

One thing if I brick my phone, is this RMX1971EX_11_A.16 firmware possible to flash using platform tools?
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zorzgeo:
No You can't flash it via QL (Quallcom Loader).

You need a specific flashable file recognised by QL (as for Xiaomi powered by SD CoCs).

Unlocked b/l isn't obstacle to flash new ROM but preinstalled TWRP is.

TWRP don't recognise .ozip (OppoZip) format and won't handle it...

Try to return official recovery and apply downloaded ROM. Success is confirmed.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xhanrae15:
Just brick my phone. It happened got backup my whole device. Now here's my Pinfo

I tried now stock recovery but still no luck it's just half way the just restarted. Then say update fail.

Question.

I just rename my .ozip to .zip

How to go back this file to .ozip file it seems read as zip file already. I rename it in my laptop btw. Even though I rename back to .ozip still Reas as zip file.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zorzgeo:
Couldn't just rename it :(

It's an Oppo encrypted zip file and there is no simple way to unzip it.

Search on this forum, someone attached unzipped rom for QT flashing for phone unbricking. After that You can flash desired ROM.

P.S. Don't qutoe me if You post just after my post ;)
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xhanrae15:
So this zip file now is useless? Can't go back for .ozip..
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Just Rename again to .ozip its working fine...but i think maybe your firmware .OZIP corrupt, thats why you flash failed.

Try Download Firmware .OZIP again...If failed again try Record Video or capture and posting here.

Realme UI link doesn't update the device.

It's a locked bootloader with stock recovery.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Try This...Working Fine on Me

• Boot to TWRP and do Clean Flash (WIPE Internal Memory, Data, System, Cache, Vendor )

• Flash .OZIP Firmware, if u see error jus ignore it. Don't Reboot after Finish.

• Format Data & Reboot.

• Install Magisk (optional before Reboot)

• Flash Vbmeta & TWRP (optional before Reboot) if you want to stay on TWRP but Internal Encypted on TWRP because Decrypt Key on TWRP has Change on Realme UI - Android Q.

You need upgrade to A.17 First before Install Realme UI Firmware. and Don't use stock recovery to flash it, Realme UI using diferent Key Encrypted so not Compitible with Stock Recovery.

btw What TWRP version you using ? Attach ScreenShot Error Please for analyst

Or try this TWRP : https://drive.google.com/file/d/11YOR_X-t-EGYoWdizN9Wu5ltNJhyEfaD

im using the this TWRP https://xdaforums.com/realme-5-pro/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-realme-5-pro-t3985203

while installing says failed to mount vbmeta

gonna go and try the TWRP you provided

Edit: its installing now with the TWRP you provided tnx

I suggest also providing the TWRP on the start for others
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
It's a shame it can't be flashed with stock recovery. I was wondering why it wouldn't work.

What's the point of Realme adding the download link to the website in the future if people with unmodded phones can't install it?

Is unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP any more difficult than on a Xiaomi?

If I did this, is there any way to relock the bootloader afterwards and return to stock recovery? I don't really want to mod this phone, but I'd like to try Realme UI as soon as possible.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] killerhaha100:
That link isnt the official update provided by realme its custom that is why you need a custom recovery

And locking and unlocking of bootloader is easy as 1,2,3
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
Why is it custom? Why not just have one official update?

I had a look at the unlocking guide and it seems that there's no obvious way to return the phone to stock state (official ROM with stock recovery and a locked bootloader). With Xiaomi, one can just download the fastboot ROM and flash with MiFlash.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
In my opinion, the link is Alpha or Beta Realme UI for Realme 5 Pro, which may be accidentally captured by Update Tracker Realme, thats why link from realme website...It is likely that only a few people will get it and try it before the Version is released for Global which plans for the near future will released soon.

I think we are lucky because we can get the link and try it while waiting for the final version.

About Downgrade don't worry, It's Simple just WIPE Everything (Data, Internal, System, Vendor, cache and Dalvik) on TWRP and Flash .OZIP Firmware you want and Format Data before Reboot.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tonibm19:
For the people who's trying this custom .ozip... How's it?

Is performance and battery better? What are your impressions?:confused:
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
I think maybe samething else or feature Realme Server.

I try Download using IDM on Laptop / PC and i got .ZIP (Decrypted from .OZIP) just Working flash on TWRP....if i download using Browser on Mobile Device i got .OZIP file (Encrypted ZIP).

So just try Download with Default Browser Phone and try Install using Stock File Manager / Stock Recovery Realme.

Tell me if Working fine.

I just finished installing TWRP, flashing A17 firmware and just about ready to install the latest firmware. I had TWRP backups of my last firmware which is A15 before I upgraded the OS.

Questions:

1. In the event that I don't like the latest firmware, is it safe to restore the TWRP backups?

2. In the event that restoring TWRP backups to downgrade isn't safe, is it safe to just downgrade by flashing the A17 firmware, TWRP all over again?
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
1 & 2. Yes it's Safe but maybe u can see little Bug or system not stable coz diferent version android and thats call name Dirty Flash..Recommend do Clean Flash before Restore or Downgrad firmware to A.17.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bumslayer:
I'm liking Android 10 with Realme UI so far so no immediate thoughts of downgrading. If ever, I'd probably downgrade the firmware to A.17 as you suggested.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
I think so ... maybe if bored I won't downgrade it is better to flash custom rom :D

Stock rom RMX1971EX_11_OTA_1010_all_EclovWQpIsEx_cd87be.ozip (android 10.0) works well for me. But it's very smooth!
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Ok np :)

Some group tell me method adb pull /data/oppo/coloros/OTA/.otapackage/ not working...so no body success take, copy and upload OTA file to Coud. One more way is to trace the log update, but link to encryption.

no one that is why there is no Official Firmware or OTA Link file. no one wants a Lock Bootloader just to get an OTA Link / File Update due to a 50% risk of Hardbrick if it fails.

We can only wait for the Official Link from the Website Realme. The issue is March 15, 2020.

Yeah I think the same thing about Realme UI. I's Good ,I like the Performance, UI and animation better when compared with previous versions of Android, Especially Ram management it's better. And when the root is no longer overheat Issu.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
Where did you get 15th March from?
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bahuy2003:
I think, you can flash stock rom over custom recovery. It's very simple method for upgrade new rom.
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
Some Group...i forget it...just info some users in Indian region have received an update to the Realme UI update ... so wait, soon the update will appear on your device but if you haven't Unlock Bootloader :P

Yeah, thats right but just for unlock bootloader user :D

Unsafe, Possible Failure / Device Brick 50% if the process is wrong, there is a file system that changes or there is a partition that changes its size :)

It is recommended to stay on UBL because it can still Update Official Firmware using TWRP / Stock Recovery.

RUI Official Updates can be downloaded on this link https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX1971EX_11_OTA_1010_all_EclovWQpIsEx.ozip

For other versions Color OS check on the First page.

I have 3 options about your problem.

1. Easy way go to Service Center (Free), tell u want to downgrade to Color OS 6 and want to Unlock Bootloader.

2. U need some People with have Account Oppo / Realme ID (Not Free, need cost $15). U can pay he service to Login Msm Download and using .OFP Firmware for Downgrade your Device. One service that provides these services can be checked on the following this link https://www.firmware27.com/p/oppoid.html?m=1

3. Wait Realme update App Indeep-test support UBL for RUI Firmware (Free but need more time).

Yes, Thats Right but its Dirty Flash and not recommend, u can see some bug...to avoid bugs that appear do backup important data in Internal Memory to External Storage and wipe all before flash it. Flash TWRP and Vbmeta Root before reboot (Optional) if you want to keep TWRP.

Go to Service Center to Flash Stock Firmware or you can find someone with have Oppo/Realme Account to Login MSM Download Tools and Flash your Device.

What is the difference between firmware and rom? I am now using custom rom and want to back to stock rom. What should i flash? Firmware or rom? Sorry i am newbie
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] faisalxp:
On original definition Firmware is a set of instructions or programs written in machine language (Software) that are used to operate electronic devices. and ROM is a type of ‘built-in’ memory chip (Hardware) that is capable of holding and storing data in an electronic device. :confused:

So to make it easier Firmware it's Operating System and ROM its Hardisk / Storage. :victory:

But my opinion it's different, firmware is more towards the Official ROM / OS issued by manufacturer and you can't modify it, to make it easier some peope call it Stock Firmware / Stock ROM. But if someone modify it, terms has change from Firmware to ROM and ROM is more towards the Custom Firmware / Custom ROM. :cool:
