Back to LOS boot animation. Then reboots to twrp. Never finishes first boot.

Tried everything and more.

I am at RUI 03, just with twrp and modified vbmeta.

Did not flash gapps. Can't run away from android, but won't go any further with american stuff ;)

Edit: my twrp is this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bablus/files/RMX1971/twrp_RMX1971-20200228.img/download

Edit2: going back to 20200518. Can't afford to be any longer without this phone. I'll try again in a month or two
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Newbie here, i just want to clarify things up before start messing arround.

Im in C.05 and dont even have my bootloader unlocked. In ordrer to flash the updated version of LineageOS (03.08), do i still have to downgrade to ColorOS A.17 as you mention in the first post, or i can just flash it right after bootloader unlock and TWRP flash. If not, do i also have to boot in ColorOS or i can flash over it right away?

When trying to flash 14/08 release,after flashing COS, wiping and flashing LOS, getting error 7.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] murkom:
To install latest builds you must be on RUI, not COS.

I'm still on 20200518 with COS. Tried 20200802 with RUI and it woudn't boot.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
I flashed 18/5 but after half day of use, when i tried to charge it, it just stuck there.

After that i flashed latest RUI to install 13/8 LOS.

Flashing ended succesfully but when i rebooted system i got a bootloop.

I wiped everything before LOS 13/8 (just in case someone asks)

Any ideas? :confused:
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] murkom:
20200518 works great here. Been using it for the last months with only one single issue: can't disable double tap to wake.

Tried a few days ago 20200802, it never finished booting. Read my last posts in this thread. Went back to 20200518.

I would like some help, too. Don't even know if anyone managed to boot up these last builds based on RUI.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Just managed to flash 13/08 LOS update succesfully with the 2nd attempt. I flashed C.05, reboot to recovery, wiped all except vendor, reboot to recovery, flashed LOS 13.08, reboot to recovery, flashed bitgapps, reboot system.

The first thing i noticed is that camera app is missing.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] murkom:
Nice to know. Must do a backup and try that build.

Gcam (onFire) works, and Open Camera too. Just edit build.prop to enable camera2api. Add net.sourceforge.opencamera in cameras section.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] potatofut:
Successfully flashed on first try.

I deleted System, Dalvick, Caché, Vendor and Data, also I formatted data. I rebooted to recovery and flashed BITGApps, then rebooted to System already. I used TWRP BabluS RMX1971-20200228

Problem = ALARMS do not sound. I tried several applications and they do not sound, they only vibrate, instead I tried other sounds and they worked perfectly as videos through the browser.

Question: what does "This compilation was signed with Public Keys" mean? Why does it appear with a TRUST alert symbol on the Notifications screen (I have searched Google but the concept was not very clear);

Added: In a more thorough search, I found this information in HTCmania "Being an unofficial compilation, normally the RSA keys that lineage uses do not come when downloading the source code of LG16 or another rom, what happens is that the code is compile with the public RSA keys provided by the firmware manufacturer, in this case the firmware itself detects that the compilation carried out by us could not be verified, that's why you get that message. " Well, I ignore it and the problem is over :) :)

Thanks for this beautiful work.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Something else i noticed is that playstore couldnt download apps due to a storage problem, it was mentioning to use an external sdcard because there was not enough space.

I am back to May's build, i cant stand using my phone with issues. :rolleyes:

Edit: Also i couldnt here or be heard on phone call. Maybe false flash; i dont know...
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bantamdraper:
I'd like to try the May build but I'm on RUI firmware at the moment. Can you please tell me which COS firmware you flashed before flashing the May build of LOS? Thanks :)
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] potatofut:
System sounds do not work.

I tried with BITGApps and they didn't work.

GApps does not allow flashing: it starts the system logo and always reboots and returns to recovery.

Tried with Nikgapps and the system sounds are not working either.

[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
If you read up the thread you will notice that Kemo suggested flashing A.17 or an earlier build of COS and then flash May's build. I personally flashed A.17, and allong with May's LOS 17.1 flashed bitgapps too.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] murkom:
I second that. May's build = COS A.17. I just don't install gapps.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Has anyone tried to format data when the new release (13/8) didnt boot? I saw that it was suggested on other rom threads by the devs.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kemo12533:
Hello everyone, how's everyone doing ?

i applogize for the last build i shared it with you it was really bad and full of bugs, i already updated the links and changelogs of the thread if u would like to check it out.

we can see the offical sooner than we expect
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
You sound really positive, that's really nice to hear.

About the last build, can i dirty flash on 20200805 which im using the last 2 days or do you suggest a clean flash?

(flashing c.02-03 and then wipe and flash the last build?)
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kemo12533:
just clean flash to avoid any bugs from old rom

any fw of RUI can work with it normally

ps. u can use f2fs format for data maybe it interest for u
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Said that, how can i use f2fs?
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Just flashed the new realease 20/08/2020

Wiped everything and flashed C.05

Wiped again, changed data's ext4 to f2fs and installed 20200820 rom.

Again changed to f2fs and reflashed 20200820 rom (just in case for f2fs)

Flashed bitgapps.

SUCCESS!!

Booted immediately!!

Everyting looks fine and snappy.

The only thing i noticed is the "

Android's updated security code release"

which stating

Platform: Updated

Manufacturer: Few months earlier

It looked the same on all the other roms i had flashed so i guess it's meant to be like this.

Other than that all good.

I will update if anything comes up.

THANKS!!

Can I ask everyone, what app or method do you use for backing up your apps before doing a clean install of a different version of LineageOS? Or do you reinstall all your apps from the Play store every single time you do a clean flash?

How do you flash LineageOS 20200820?

I get bootloop Logo and restart TWRP.

I use Twrp Blablus I also tried OrangeFOX Stable but the result was the same.

I deleted Caches, System, Vendor and Data. Then I flash RUI C.5 and start the in RUI.

Then I reset and go back to TWRP, delete everything and flash LineageOS 20200820.

Reboot to system but immediately returns to TWRP so I Format Data

So I start the system and the Lineage logo appears but after a while it returns to TWRP and does not start the ROM.

Then I tried to flash it again but I get the same

I also tried to erase everything again and Flash ROM again but I get bootloop or Eternal LineageOS Logo

Thanks Kemo for your work. I am not quite sure that I understand you. What does that mean for us? Is it possible to upgrade the 1805 version to the latest build? What should we do to upgrade?

Are there new prerequisites when installing the latest build on a completely new phone?

Have a nice weekend.

Moving to RUI means its based on the on Android 10 source from the stock rom so u have to move to the new frameware first before u can flash it

u can go ahead and see the F&Q in the first page 3rd post to see how to start flashing and avoid anykind of bootloop
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] der_stephan:
So this is no longer based on LineageOS sources?

I read that F&Q but I don't know what C.05 is nor do I know where to get it. And is it really necessary to wipe everything? I have my phone for 3 months now, I do not want to configure and install everything yet again. Is there an upgrade path from Version 1805?
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
C.05 is the latest official release of our phones and it is based on RealmeUI.

You can skip wiping internal storage but you must wipe everything else since you have to "clean flash" LineageOS (you should take a buckup first)

Said that, version 1805 is based on ColorOS, so, if you want to flash the latest Lineage OS which is base on RealmeUI, you have to flash

C.05 first, there is no way arround from 1805 to 2008.

In the 1st page (not 1st post) kemo has posted a link to download C.05

I recommend to read up all the thread, some users have posted very usefull tutorials.

Unable to boot

Hello, i just followed [MENTION=4388682]Curious_guy[/MENTION] tips' in order to boot 2008 as they did work for him and also for you, but i'm unable to boot.

Centairly i'm making some mistakes somewhere but i'd like to know which ones are, and also for facilitating life for anyone who gets into my situation.

C.05 boots fine without changing of Data filesystem (of course, how stock would not boot?) (maybe it has nothing to do with this but i'm just pointing out my testing).

Can you explain step by step what you exactly did in order to boot it?

Thanks.

I currently have lineageos 17.1 installed. Am I correct in assuming that I need to re-install c.03 back onto the phone to upgrade to 2008 rom please. I am having issues upgrading between versions of lineageos please. if I need to do this re-flash c.03 please can someone send a link to which rom from realme I need to reflash please.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
When you flash stock C.05 you shouldn't boot the rom. Actually im not sure if that's the problem, but the steps that seem to be working are those mentioned above. If you boot on stock C.05, then the custom recovery gets overwritten, so you have to install twrp via fastboot again.

In conclusion, have you tried NOT booting C.05, wipping and then flashing 2008;
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xz499:
Yup, i just followed exactly step by step that you published, but without any luck.

(+ Had formated data, but always changing it to f2fs, maybe that's why, but the thing now is i cannot even get stock to boot, even with data as ext4 as it's by default).
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
If you stuck on bootloop-endless boot you can always enter fastboot mode and then boot to TWRP recovery, wipe everything (including internal storage) and install C.05.

After wipping you should use "/pull" commands via cmd while you are on TWRP to transfer C.05.ozip file on your phone (Someone has posted the exact commands on previous posts) and then flash it.

Nothing can go wrong untill this point.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] potatofut:
Hola!! :p:p:p:p:p Saludos desde Mañolandia!!

Let's see, my mistake was that after flashing C.05 I started to System instead of TWRP

I did the following steps: Clear all: System, Vendor, Data, Dalvik cache and Format Data for Clean Flashing.

I flashed C.05 immediately after flashing C.05 I rebooted to TWRP I did not start System (this was my fault)

I delete everything again and I formatted Data I think I remember in case.

Then mmm I don't remember if I restarted or went back! I don't know if it affects anything. Try this step if you get Error.

After FLasheé Rom Lineage 2008 the previous ones you got BootLoop

After FLasheé NickGaaps, I understand Gapps you get BootLoop

After I rebooted

If after Flashing Gapps you get a restart to Recovery then Format Data

And so I got it !! I also changed Data and cache to F2FS after flashing from NickGapps

This Rom is the most fluid, light, fast perhaps not so customizable but safe, it is very focused on privacy control and for example, when I uninstall APKS whatever it is, Lineage 17.1 automatically deletes all traces of the APK and more. I'm really enjoying it with Lineage

Anything, tell me I'll try to help you !!

Postscript: I used TWRP Blablus this is important because others have given me errors when flashing the odd ROM.

Un abrazo te manda este Mañico ??????????

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I just read this message

Before starting the flashing of Lineage you have to get start in Stock no matter what. That happened to me some time ago and I could not start any ROM including STOCK.

I think I solved it by going back to COS and then updating to RUI using Fastboot that was tedious and maddening to fix it because I had no idea how to do it but it has a solution ? another is that I remember exactly !!

Try the method of this link: https://xdaforums.com/realme-5-pro/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-bootloader-t3995285 in the last section of the first message how to fix Bootloop .

Basically it is:

Download all

and follow these commands:

fastboot -w && fastboot erase system

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot

?????

Hello thanks for the response.

Yep, wiping Internal Storage did the trick.

Seems like it doesn't like having any files or something while booting for first time after removing encryption.

Should i do format data for 2008 coming from stock booted first time?

Thanks for your time.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] der_stephan:
After this is done now, could you please tell us, what to do in which order. And I don't understand, where do I get C05 from and how do I install it from the 1805 version of this ROM?

I am feeling a bit lost. Any help is greatly appeciated.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
Assuming you are on C.05, in order to install 2008 you should wipe everything again and then procceed flashing.

Download C.05 from herehttps://realmeupdater.com/downloads/archive/RMX1971EX/

You cant install 2008 when you are on 1805.

One is base on RUI and the other on COS. Clean install is required.

So, in short terms, you download C.05 and 2008, wipe everything, install C.05, wipe everything again, install 2008.

[MENTION=9078181]der_stephan[/MENTION] it's funny you are asking how to, since i followed your guide on 3rd page in order to install.

Hi Kemo, thank you for your good work on this ROM. I'm using the 2008 version and everything works quickly and smoothly, but my problem is that the mirroring on the TV doesn't work, it ends with a Wfd service application error. There is also a problem with the focus of the internal camera, but GCam works perfectly. And network traffic is also unusable, because it is completely hidden behind the camera cutout. Will it be fixed in the next version, please? The biggest problem is mirroring the TV. Thanks.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] der_stephan:
Thank you for the link. Where do I install that from? From TWRP? From Bootloader? After I installed C05, do I have to boot it or not? Do I have to unlock bootloader again? Do I have to install TWRP again? Which version of TWRP will work? Sorry if I say that but the first 3 topics in here simply do not give advice on when to do what. And with boot loops and stuff, there are obviously quite some pitfalls. Even after reading the previous posts, it still seems unclear because some of those posts contradict each other, some are clearly written from recollection where important parts may be missing or in the wrong order or simply wrong.

Well, I would laugh too, if there was an understandable upgrade path. When I created this guide, I had a new phone to fumble around to get it right. Now this phone is in daily use and I neighter want to loose all my apps and settings nor can I afford to be without phone over a more than a couple of hours. So I need to have a working path before I start making changes. My situation is quite different than before.

When I got it to work, I will gladly post a new version of my installation tutorial.

Still unable to boot

I'm sorry but i'm still unable to boot LOS 2008.

Idk what's going on but i tried all combinations possible for your suggested tips without any luck.

I did manage to boot stock once also, back when i followed [MENTION=4388682]Curious_guy[/MENTION] tip for wiping Internal Storage but now it refuses to boot stock again.

TWRP says no OS is installed after flashing C.05 in order to get the phone working at least with stock, and now when trying to reboot to system it always comes back to TWRP after a reboot in Android logo fist splash screen.

Maybe it's just me being dumb or something, but i'm facing that a phone that worked flawlessly, stopped doing such work with trying to updating it to latest software.

Idk why.

[MENTION=11019475]xz499[/MENTION] [MENTION=9078181]der_stephan[/MENTION]

Guys i will try to make some things clear from my experience, after a lot bootloops trying to flash older roms.

Bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked again, it's a one time procedure.

No matter what, whatever rom you are, in order to flash 2008, there are a few requirments.

Be on C.05 (RUI). The reason for that is becouse 2008 is based on RUI too, not in COS as 1805 was based, and that's the reason you can't update from any other version to 2008.

You MUST install C.05 on TWRP and NOT boot it. (the version of TWRP [MENTION=9078181]der_stephan[/MENTION]posted on his 1805 guide worked for me).

If you have flashed successfully C.05 and booted it, it may end up in boot loop if you try to flash 2008.

So install TWRP if it's not already installed (TWRP gets overwritten when you flash AND BOOT stock roms, that's what i can tell from my experience), then,

Wipe everything including internal storage

Flash C.05 and reboot to recovery, NOT SYSTEM! VERY IMPORTANT!!

Wipe everything again and procced flashing 2008 and BitGApps.

Between wipes, use pull commands on cmd to transfer the files from pc to phone.

If you end up in bootloop it is reccomended to format data and reboot again.

I hope you get it working this time.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] der_stephan:
Thanks, pal. This is quite helpful.

What do you think? If I make a backup of internal storage, then I install 2008 like you said, then I boot 2008, then I boot back in TWRP and restore the backup of the internal storage. Do you think, this could work?
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
I can't tell for sure, it may end up on a bootloop.

Not that i have tried it.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xz499:
So, are you suggesting that for those who have "accidentally" booted even once C.05 is mandatory to downgrade to COS, boot stock once, then upgrade and follow all the procedure, also as [MENTION=9809444]potatofut[/MENTION] suggested in its last post for having booted C.05, again "accidentally"?

Thanks.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Curious_guy:
You don't have to downgrade to COS.

Just full wipe if you are on C.05 and procced on the known steps. Im not sure if you must install again C.05, that's what i would do to be sure.
[Realme 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xz499:
Nothing, thanks for your time and support, but it still does not boot.

I managed again to boot C.05, so i'll stick with it a while to see if some update solves this somehow in the future to keep to phone at least functional.

I won't roll even back to LOS 1805.
