RMX2151 A.91? That may be the issue. As far as I know, everyone who has flashed a custom ROM onto their RMX2155/RMX2151 has been on a.87 beforehand. Did you make sure to un-tick all those boxes before download-flashing via SP Flash Tools?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
It´s possible that the A91 version has this specific issue, I saw other users complaining similar issues (device not booting) restoring some partitions or debloating some apps, a simple factory reset didn´t solve it.

Yes, I unticked the 4 partitions, this fail attempt just complicated one level more (I can´t flash completely even the firmware for RMX2151) but before to flash your ROM (or try to) the device refused to boot normally anyway so your ROM is not the culprit.

I tried with an "special SP Flash tool" that gives the error "scatter file invalid" and the SPWD tool gives error "checksum.ini not present", no way to generate a checksum file within the ROM files.

The firmware around 6 GB and more contain various files, within others is the OFP, when extracted it lacks of some partitions so I assume that the other files AP and database contains the complete information device needs to recover from this brick state. In this theory order I assume that the other partitions that can be obtained through a backup can restore what it needs. The Realme Flash tool works for other models, probably not for this one.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
Have you tried flashing RMX2155 firmware? If you have with those boxes un-ticked, and it still didn't work - while it may be incredibly risky - as a last-ditch effort, I recommend trying to flash an RMX2155 ROM onto your device without un-ticking any of the boxes. But try asking around first. I haven't ever heard of anyone else doing this, but, if you can't find a solution, then your phone's as good as dead anyways, and it won't hurt to try it out. If you do decide to try, I'll send you a link to a specific version. But, like I said: last-ditch. If it doesn't work, you could end up with a totally unrecoverable device. I strongly advise asking around and making a forum-post somewhere first.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
I didn´t try it a RMX2155, from your ROM didn´t accept these 4 partitions be ticked, it might be because it is somehow modded. If you have some specific version in mind please let me know, it won´t hurt try it, in Sp Flash tool says an error like disable the boot secure or use a signed image so probably won´t accept it but again, it could be that in some way my device accept a ROM from the RMX2155 and not from the RMX2151.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
So, It can work for me too? Or is there anything else I can do&=?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
In which situation are you, the same as mine?

Apart that it was probably in a problematic firmware when It happened the nightmare, I think that my mistake was trying to use Firmware Upgrade with the firmware for RMX2155, the first file that the tool detected as not for my model triggered the brick-next-level state, I assume that if you are not getting device to boot to OS and your situation is similar as mine you might solve it flashing the latest firmware available for your model using the option Firmware Upgrade in SP Flash tool, checking first the option "Format Whole flash except bootloader"
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
No, don't do that last part of SubwayChamp's recommendation. You need to keep those mentioned partitions untouched. Like I said, only in the rarest of occasions should you be using anything besides "Download". If you're not careful with the way you do stuff, you'll end up with an unrecoverable brick.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
I can re-flash with sp-tool, but I can't boot into system, only in realme recovery. The bootloader is unlocked
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
Ok, but is there other option? I need to boot into system:)
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
I need to try and get a grasp of what you did that lead up to this predicament. So, you can flash firmware, but - regardless of what you flash - cannot seem to boot into the system? What files have you tried flashing? And what exact firmware version were you on before this started happening?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
But what option did you use in SP Flash tool? Which firmware version you have?.

I think that the OFP file when unpacked doesn't contain all the files' device needs to be flashed cause the official tool is Realme Flash tool (it works only for some models), not SP Flash tool, in an unlocked device you can flash all the files you can get but OFP doesn't contain them, there are in the other files unzipped from the zip.

Unfortunately I didn't make a backup cause never happened this to me with other brands, Realme has a very restrictive politics.

A backup/read back from a good device would solve it, you should need to flash other partitions to solve it, this is the whole thing here. While you´ll remain unlocked there´s some hope.

Yes, cann't boot into system, two bootlooping and boot into realme ui recovery

Do you know how to flash all files that's missing?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Can you still enter to recovery or fastboot?

Which your model is; RMX2155 or RMX2151?

Could you flash these 4 files before?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
Recovery, fastboot show nothing, adb show device offilne

RMX2155

No
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Show nothing means that you can't enter either to recovery or fastboot, no? fastboot is inaccessible through hardware buttons, so the only way would be through recovery or booting device, then using ADB.

Offline is a different thing that not listing it, ADB wouldn't be available in a device rebooting without access to recovery or booting to OS.

But in your first attempt using SP Flash tool, you could flash these 4 files? I think you shouldn't try to flash the entire ROM, may I'm wrong, but it seems that the ROM is from a RMX2151 and trying to flash these files will triggered the crash.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
No, I couldn't. I finished tutorial and unlocked bootloader. Then I backup with

PitchBlack Recovery Project​

And install some custom rom,

PixelPlus UI probably​

After I try and restore old one and that's failure happened
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Well, it's unlikely to know for certain what is happening with this device and its weird behavior, I did almost exactly the same, restoring by PBR recovery could boot to OS but after that restoring through TWRP finally got my device bricked.

I also lost the ability to flash all the partitions through SP flash tool, and then I recovered it anyway even after that with no luck to successfully pass from bootanimation, maybe you have better luck, read carefully this https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, use for first only the command to unlock bootloader (I know, you have it unlocked probably) but this injects a functional/readable preloader, the command is python mtk xflash seccfg unlock it worked for me and worth the try, after that I could use the Download option for all the files, just a tip, in case you didn´t before don´t tick the preloader partition, never had an issue with other devices though but this device (probably the OEM) get bricked doing that.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oderkuu:
You managed to boot into system?

Could you make a list how to recovery system?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
No, I couldn't, I recovered my device from the worst scenario; "download not completed..." and display showing nothing, I could flash all the partitions through SP Flash tool (A87), because my display lost the sensitivity couldn't update to A91 ozip through the stock recovery, I can't tap on OK to start the update, I flashed PBR and managed to boot to it, I had to flash PixelPlusUI through my PC but still doesn't pass from bootanimation.

I tried the things that solved same situation from my other devices like formatting data, flashing dtbo, vbmeta, sometimes vendor but nothing of that works on this device as of now. You should try flashing the A91 through stock recovery, it seems that OFR can flash it, not sure though, I decrypted the ozip to zip but OFR gives some fail.

[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
You need to be on RealmeUI 1.0. Preferably a.87 or lower. I don't know what to do about your situation, to be honest: I've never really touched RealmeUI 2.0. I've also heard that, if you try to downgrade back to RealmeUI 1.0 from 2.0, you'll hard-brick. Make a forum post in the Q&A section of this device's forum. Somebody else should be able to help, hopefully.

Hey!

I can boot into fastboot mode, but whenever I connect it to my computer, fastboot devices doesn't tell me it's connected and I hear the device disconnected sound every 10ish seconds.

Can someone help me, please.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
Sounds like there may be something wrong with your USB cord, USB-C port (where your phone connects to the cord), or the USB port (where your PC connects to the cord). Turn your phone on, connect it to your PC, and enable MTP. Then, use your PC to open your phone's storage directory with the file manager/explorer that comes with your computer's OS. If your phone keeps disconnecting, then you may want to try a different cord and/or a different port on your PC.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] homomemeboi04:
MTP is fine there
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the LibUSB drivers (all with admin privileges), and then running brom.bat (again, with admin privileges). Might fix it.

Ok so,i could use a little help.I'm not an expert on this but with your guide,lots of reading and watching the video provided on the 1st post,ive done everything right,i got to Vietnam region,deeptesting worked but i got 1 problem:

When i press to start deep testing,the device indeed reboots but the black screen with the whole process doesnt stay,the phone reboots as normal.

It happens so fast but ive managed to read at the pre-last line

"The serial does not match"

So,what went wrong there?

It seems i cant find a way to keep it on that screen to continue with the video guide,and also TWRP when i press "Flash TWRP" button closes the app
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
You can't use an app for TWRP. You need to flash it manually. Also, I recommend that you use OrangeFox or PBRP: newer designs, more features, and better fluidity. I have been using OrangeFox for a while now, and I definitely recommend it. But if TWRP is what you want, I won't judge. The video (and the TWRP page linked below) have the commands written out for you. You'll need a vbmeta.img, but it's small, so I'll upload it with this post. I'll leave the links right below:

As for the serial-number error, let's get some important questions out of the way. Are your sure your device is an RMX2155, and not an RMX2151? This guide only works for the RMX2155. Also, what version were you on before you began the process? A.87 or lower is highly recommended.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alucard_Zero:
Thanks for the fast reply :)

Ok,ill answer everything since like i said,im not some expert but i like to learn,thats how i ended up here

I got RMX2155.

Before i touch anything,i was on A.91,just the only update there was from A.87 back in july.

Although,whn i did the first steps with MTK drivers,python etc,the version i have right now is 2151 A.87 with the phone showing me to update to A.91 again

For TWRP its just that the only one i know but for sure i wanna try new stuff.

Dont be scared to ask me stuff also and im sure of the info i provide you,i got some exp on pcs so its not so strange to work with phones :D
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
No problem. A.91 might be problematic. I'm not too sure, though. This phone is kinda weird, and there have been various cases of users meeting unique glitches. Try and read as much as you can before it reboots, and report back with what you can. The more info, the better.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alucard_Zero:
Ok,i managed to do smt smarter,take a photo from another photo.

Forgive me for the quality but the whole booting happens very fast,in 2-3 seconds
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
No problem. This is more than enough. Also, delete the photo. It shows your serial number. Did you make sure to do the OPPO decrypt? It says "fastboot_unlock_verify fail".
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alucard_Zero:
Hm,no,as far as i can think of.Especially if it wasnt on the steps of the guide,cause on the region guide wasnt for sure.

I think the whole problem with my phone started with a faulty UI 2.0 that i installed manually once,it ended up being a testing version.Then i downgraded to UI 1.0 and android 10(dont ask me how,i can only tell you that i bricked the phone and it took me 5-6 hours to read and learn how to unbrick it),then i had the OTA A.87 from site(still RMX2155 all the way) and a little update to A.91.

What bothered me and wanted to learn the whole thing about unlocking and more,is that after A.91 my phone havent got any update(even that the official update released October updates) and also,no OTA for stable UI 2.0.

Ive prolly made your head explode of how i messed up on the start xD

Also,couple of questions:

-Is there any way to find stable UI 2.0 official to manually install?

-Do i have to stay with Vietnam region even after i install a custom rom?

-Does sticking to the VN region will cause future problems(EUNE region here)

-Is there a way to return to official UI 1.0 after the whole process for RMX2155?
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
For your questions:

1. I'm not sure. You're gonna have to make a forum-post in the device's Q&A section: I have not used, and thus know nothing about RealmeUI 2.0. My apologies.

2. No. Once you flash a custom ROM, it will automatically reset your region to what's best for your device. I think it does it based off of SIM-Card.

3. Perhaps. Most people just flash a ROM right after, so it isn't an issue. Worst-case scenario: you just switch back to your region via the same menu you used to swap to Vietnam.

4. Absolutely. Just need to flash a full stock ROM from online via SP Flash Tools.

So, are you saying that you didn't do the OPPO decrypt step? It's the first bit of steps mentioned in the external guide that helps you change the region to Vietnam.

Hi, can i unlock bootloader using this guide?

RMX2155_11_C.13
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] homomemeboi04:
Yes you can. I was also on the same version! Good luck! Your phone will be downgraded to a asian realmeUI 1.0, then your sales region will be changed to a country in Asia (it needs to be the one in the guide) and then you just download an app so you can enter fastboot and then unlock the bootloader.

Everything worked without issues for me. If your phone doesn't show up in fastboot, manually go to device manager and install the android ADB driver (I can help you if you need).

You flash it, and then immediately reboot to recovery via the hardware buttons. Write "fastboot reboot". After, hold down Vol- and the power button until the realme logo shows up. Then, let go of power button, and keep Vol- held. Should get you in.

[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noel97:
Nope, still can't find
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
You have to check with your version being A,etc - C, etc. it´s hard to find saying explicitly RUI2.0., this is one of the site from the lot of them available https://realmeflashfile.blogspot.com/

Also on Reddit they're claiming that there is some support in these sites https://discord.com/invite/R9Dxym8h9j and https://t.me/Realme_7 I didn't try it my self though.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
Won't be able to find it for the RMX2155, probably. Gonna have to do RMX2151. I must say, however, that if you plan to downgrade from RealmeUI 2.0 to RealmeUI 1.0, you're likely going to hard-brick. That's just what I've heard, though: I don't have any experience with RealmeUI 2.0. Went straight to custom ROMs, and I'm not really that interested in 2.0 anyway.

EDIT: SubwayChamp's link seems to have it, which is good. Should still keep in mind that hardbrick when downgrading to 1.0 is possible. Be cautious.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noel97:
I did downgraded from Realme UI 2.0 to Realme UI 1.0 to unlock the bootloader, no hardbrick yet. (I carefully followed your guide and everything worked thank you !)

But, I do want to go from Realme 1.0 to Realme 2.0 again (because I heard that android 12 roms will be Realme UI 2.0 based) and I can't because everything I try is failing.
[Realme 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrthodoxOxygen:
Did you try flashing the file SubwayChamp mentioned via the SP Flash Tools? If I remember correctly, flashing a RMX2151 a.87 ROM, then updating to most recent version, and then applying for the RealmeUI 2.0 should do the trick. Might take awhile, but you should be eventually able to update without having to do all that SP Flash Tools stuff. Try asking @albatron34000 . Last I checked, they managed to do it.
