easiest way, since you've already re wiped your system, is to format your data, update TWRP to a version compatible to A11

then if you have unlocked bootloader,

install the A11 update as normal through A11 (got to verify you use the right twrp, some dont have data access on A11) - or use a OTG drive on twrp.

if you have bootloader bypassed,

you need to copy YOUR vbmeta to the A11 zip before you flash.

this should install correctly then boot.

v.8.64 (Global - Non-EU) is now on the Nubia download site.

v.7.60 (Global - EU) is also available (actually, this one's listed on the Redmagic.gg support page)

I haven't tried either so can't comment.

Update - just installed v.8.64 - so far, so good, but I don't see any update notes.

It says it has the Aug. 2021 Google Security Update which is nice since the latest RM6 update only has July 2021 (just got that OTA yesterday on my spouse's RM6).

Unfortunately, still can't use Google's Phone App (ringtone notification not working).
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
Thanks for the update.

I've updated the main post with all the current latest roms, and added a partial change log from what we've seen in our testing group.

8.64 US global

7.64 EU global

9.40 China

How come the OP recommends flashing official updates through twrp as opposed to just doing a local update through gui?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] ctakah27:
In the OP it says for Android 10 flash through twrp. Any help? View attachment 5424131
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
Two Questions.

1. Where in the OP does it state that its perfectly ok to install stock official images in TWRP (other than bootloader unlocked devices)? cause when doing it through local update in system settings, its gives a funny error that says you're rooted and does not let you install from the system.

2. did you read the OP or just skim through it?

the answers to your questions are in the OP.

You cannot install official update zips through TWRP without them being modified in some way (to retain root), (or you erase TWRP and Root from your phone) (unless you're on bootloader unlocked device)

this is explained in the UPDATE instructions sections. there are 3 parts. the first part is for those people that have stock phones, not rooted you can update through system local update. the second part is for people that have rooted phones with bootloader locked status must be through TWRP. and the 3rd is for those that have bootloader unlocked status (if you want to keep root without having to reroot after update the zip still needs to be modified, or magisk reinstalled.

the error you're experiencing I assume is that you are trying to install an Android 11 update zip in TWRP made for Android 10. so your recovery is causing the failure because its not updated to support Android 11.

I hope that answers your questions.

Guys need a help, my rooted RedMagic 5G was working fine, I tried to install bank apps but since its rooted, I was not able to install it, after some struggle I have enabled root hide on magisk, but now Im not getting mobile network, it shows ? mark near the network symbol.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
enabling root or magisk hide in magisk manager settings shouldn't affect your mobile network.

if you've done anything else with your phone other than just rooting it, then you may have caused some other issue by installing or changing some settings you've not mentioned.

Sorry for nooby question ⁉️

So, in my case (locked bootloader) android 11 and I want just root without TWRP what should I do ? And can I continue updating after rooting ?

what the instructions?

My regards and thanks you for your hardwork @Patrick Morgan
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
unlocking bootloader and flashing the modded boot.img would be the fastest most effective way to root A11. but if you're already on stock A11 non rooted, you need another rooted device to root the boot.img for you before you flash.

there is a method without unlocking bootloader, but it requires a few more complicated steps, a PC, up to date fastboot installation, and you still have to wipe data.

I wanted to update the twrp tutorial on the 2nd post, but now I'm actually waiting for the final update from nubia to see if my bypass method still works on the final rom. so I can add the steps without Nubia blocking them in a future update.

plus Nubia teased to our Telegram group that they may release Android 12 for our devices, which will most likely mess everything up about rooting. we will have to see.

@Patrick Morgan Has the Telegram group been closed?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
Nope its still open and running.

the admins have changed alot of rules regarding users and their profile visibility, due to scammers plaguing the group.

they removed over 200 members who did not change their profiles to suit the new rules. annons and others with strange names were removed after being asked to change, but didn't change.

if you were one of the 200ish people that was removed, you probably ignored the posts about the new rules, or were not on to see the posts about it. you will have to contact the admins of the community to ask for an invite link.

i've been out for a long time, do we have TWRP for android 11 on the red magic 5s ?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
yes, but its not fully functional.

internal data can only be accessed on unlocked bootloader with encryption turned off.

otherwise you need to use an OTG cable and USB drive to flash anything.

basically unless you're flashing alot of things and not just magisk, there is no reason to install twrp, when fastboot flashing the modified boot.img gives root.

the process is a little more complicated though. and it wipes all data, no matter the setup you have.

Anyone have working link for Android 10 TWRP and vbmeta ?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
I've repaired the link in the 2nd post.

but note its the original zip file, it has a very old magisk which would need updating and configuring before you install apps and use google play, or you wont pass safetynet.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] SwagLevel:
Hi Patrick!

I'm about to go back to stock via TWRP for the first time.

I already renamed vbmeta and recovery backupped files: is there any chance to move them inside the update.app file without a PC? I tried ZArchiver, RAR and a root explorer (Solid Explorer), but none of them is able to open it...

Edit: Dubai Free Classifieds | Dubai Business Listing
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
your reasons for going back to stock is an important question.

you want to lose root because its messing with apps?

your unable to update?

is there some other reason?

because flashing a stock rom restoring stock system and recovery wont remove the flag on your device that its been rooted / unlocked.

google play, and any apps that detect root will see that your system was compromised at one point in the past and you will lose many functionalities of the rom.

the most complete way to go back to complete stock, without any sign of root, is to make sure your bootloader is locked, use the unbrick tool to restore your device to factory, then update to 8.12 /7.15, then update to the latest android 11. this way your device is flagged as clean and will pass safetynet and app access.

note: this process will format all your data. so make a backup
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
This is true and usually very effective but in my experience the easiest (and less risky) way to get authenticated on a non-rooted custom ROM or flagged stock is by rooting it and applying root hiding methods. Like this you also retain full control over the software. Magical keywords: Magisk Canary with Zygisk and DenyList enabled, LSPosed, SudoHide, Hide My Applist and XPrivacyLua.

Then again, as you said, it also depends on what the reasoning is.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
yes, i do understand, but the user wanted to go back to stock.

so without root, he would not be able to use such hide methods.

which is why backing up this data and using the unbrick tool to restore the phone to factory will clear the detection of modified system partitions then he can update to stock latest rom and no need to deal with root apps or any of his apps flagging because the bootloader still remembers the phone was rooted before.

i could be reading his message wrong.

does he still want to use root? does he still need root access?

if he's still planning to use root on stock rom,

then the process is a little different.

he should take the boot img from the rom he wants to use. and modify it in magisk first.

he does not need to change vbmeta. as he already has the vbmeta skip file installed if he's using a custom rom on a locked bootloader.

which also means he's still on the Android 10 partition system, and TWRP. so the latest stock he can use on that TWRP is 8.12 / or 7.15 android 10. as updating to android 11 on our devices require a clean system.

so if you're gonna install 8.12 or 7.15 from twrp.

take the boot.img from the zip. modify it on magisk.

add it to the zip replacing the original.

in twrp make a backup of your vbmeta partition. rename the 64kb file to vbmeta.img add this to the rom zip file replacing the original in the zip.

now with the boot.img and the vbmeta.img changed, you flash this zip. before rebooting to go back to main menu go to wipe, and wipe user data (you cannot use data from custom roms on stock) then go back to main menu then advanced and select "disable replace TWRP" to stop the rom replacing twrp at first boot of stock system. then go to menu and reboot to system.

this should be the correct way to start a stock rom install from twrp if the intention is to keep root.

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
can't be done.

to move back to Android 10, you need to flash the unbricktool to reset the phone.

it will install an early version of android 10, then just update to latest android 10.

the unbrick tool will erase all your data. so backup your data.

I'm sorry. I have another question. If I go back to stock rom with unbricktool and turn off the bootloader lock to be able to use fingerprint and all features. When I upgrade to Android 11, can I flash boot.img and use root and fingerprint?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] eragonshurtugal:
From what I have tried no matter what you do you cannot upgrade to 11 for now. I have tried all the unbricktools, relocked bootloader, wipe internal storage, flash stock boot and recovery and parameter, etc. The stock update always breaks at 24%. I'm sticking around at stock android 10 for now.

How did you unlock your bootloader?

if you can access fastboot mode, you can give the command to lock again your bootloader.

*** relocking the bootloader will erase all your data ***

in fastboot mode use this command.

fastboot flashing lock

you will get a prompt to erase the phone. when you accept your phone is blanked and the device returned to factory settings.

I believe i have been very clear.

set phone in fastboot mode.

connect phone to PC

use command prompt to use fastboot commands

use the fastboot command "fastboot flashing lock"

you will get a prompt to erase your device. accept.

your phone will format and delete all user data and then reboot.

when it reboots your phone will be locked.

you need to install a stock rom before you lock, if you're rooted or have any modifications relocking will corrupt the device.

Post #2 in this thread still says "for Android 10 only". Is this still true, or will it work for 11 and you just never updated the post?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
the directions in post 2 is still only for android 10.

you cannot update over android 11 white rooted without getting a corruption error. which then needs a wipe to get working again.

which is one of the reasons why I held off updating it until the final rom.

rooting android 11 is not complicated, but updating after is. So I waiting for the final update to release the process. rooting in general is the same for every phone. just ours had the bypass on android 10, this is not available in android 11 without modifying some files of the device before flashing. I want to create a short step by step to do this with minimal effort or impact.

but none of my processes will save device data. your phone will need to be backed up and setup again from clean when you want to root.

restoring app data using app backup programs have resulted often in bugs and errors, so issues after rooting with this kind of restoration of app data comes with the risk of further bugs.

I'll have all these warnings and issues mentioned in the second post when I update it for android 11.

until now, we were under the impression that Nubia would release one final rom for our device, the XDA user Jerry Yin mentioned that another update would release in February 2023 but we have not gotten any more news about this as of yet. it could be false news to keep the community quiet while the RM8 was released I don't know.

From what I understand Jerry has moved on from support of the RM5,6 and 7 units and only works on the RM8.

if 8.70 is to be our final rom, I'll update the thread soon with updated information on rooting and other tools and app myself and many others use to make the phone work as best as it can.
