DESCRIPTION

Realme Like Few Other Companies Have Dishonest Rules For Unlocking The Bootloader In Different Regions(EU). Unlocking Bootloader On The EU Variants Is Not Allowed By Realme. But I Have Found A Way To Remove The Restriction And Pave The Way For Further Development.

This Will Not Unlock Your Bootloader But It Will Convert Your Device To Global Variant (EX) There By Allowing You To Apply For Bootloader Unlock. Tested On Realme 5 (EU) Variant

NOTES

I'm Not Responsible For Anything Whatsoever. If This Guide Leads You To A Bricked Device I'll Simply Laugh At You.

STEPS

(

FOLLOW VERY CAREFULLY

)

1. Download the Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0.zip file from this link

2. Enable Developer Options, USB Debugging & Make Sure Device Is Detected

3. Now Connect Your Device To The Computer Using A Micro USB Cable

3. Open Control Panel - Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.

4. Disable all your ethernet adapters except the wifi adapter .

5. Click on the action tab, then choose add legacy hardware

7. Choose install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and click next.

8. Click network adapters, then click next.

9. Select Microsoft and choose Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter, then click next.

10. Click next, then click finish.

11. In the device manager,browse the Network adapters and double click on Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter to open its properties.

12. Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option

13. Click the blank chackbox and paste 704D7B61ABCD in the text box .

14. Close the properties window and close Device Manager.

15. Go to where you extracted the unlock tools. Open Sec5.exe.

16. Make sure your device is in MTP mode, and then press the Unlock button.

17. After about a second, a string of numbers and letters should show up in the left pane. A few seconds later, "OK" should start flashing in the right pane. Press "Stop unlocking" and close the window.

18. Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. Take a look which region is marked in green, this is your current region .Write it so that you can go back if you want .

19. Now you can choose any region you want, I tested two, "IN INDIA" AND "MULTILINGUAL VERSION EX"

20. Your phone should now reboot. Once it's rebooted, your region will have changed .

Every time you changed region and want to change it again you need to use the software.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Kodiak21:
Long story short, my older bro asked if I could fix his phone that crashed during the middle of a regular system update, and now what was suppose to be an easy recovery has brought me here to seek enlightenment, as I feel like I've just about exhausted all of the options I can at this point.

Some of the issues present

Hangs / Loops on Samsung Galaxy boot logo.

Sometimes when connecting USB displays water damage warning with consistent vibration in 2-3 second intervals until phone is restarted or powered bringing me back to issue #1 all over again.

Does not recall it being damaged by water in the past.

Phone not recognized by Windows - device manager displays (Error 43 : Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) and the control panel device troubleshooter does not find any resolution to solve the issue.

Which leaves the device unable to be seen by ADB/Fastboot, unable to be seen by Odin to flash ROM, TWRP, Clockworkmod, also unable to disable FRP or encryption.

Some of the following things I've done / tried.

Installing several versions of the Samsung Android USB Drivers

Reinstall/Update/Uninstall all USB drivers

Automatically & manually updating driver in Device Manager

Running the troubleshooter via right clicking device in Control Panel

Erasing all traces of (broken) connected USB devices from the registry

Tried a different Windows PC

Tried three separate USB cables, all of which are OEM Samsung

Tried various USB 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 ports

Placing the stock firmware renamed as "update.zip" in the root directory of SD Card then entering recovery mode and, mounting SD card, wiping cache / data, and selecting the option to Recover/Update from SD Card (phone restarts instantly and brings back to boot logo hang / loop).

Software I've used:

Samsung Android USB Driver (Lastest):

Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.

developer.samsung.com

Android SDK Platform-Tools for Windows:

I'm fairly confident that it is not an issue with the USB ports on the either PC, as my Samsung Galaxy A51 connects and is recognized just fine on both, which is leading me to believe it's either bricked to the point it unable to communicate properly by Plug n Play means, or the USB port on the phone could be damaged by means other than water.

Any help, suggestions, even some opinions please I beg of you before I end up in the nuthouse lol!

I will go with latercase. Not loving the "cyber" style for the camera, but the feel of these cases are simply unmatched. Rocking one on my OP 8 PRO and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I ordered both the Spigen Rugged Armor (as usual, love these!) and the Ultra Hybrid because it has a transparent lower back. Might keep both, might send one back.

I ordered the stormy 6 pro case from google.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Spigen thin-fit for now already have it just waiting on phone. I like the look of the black/gold caseology parallex but it isn't in stock anywhere right now. I might get a clear case eventually just hate how they get smudged up so easily.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jmartin72:
I ordered the Caseology Vault case in black

might get this one for now, its cheap enough until more cases start to appear

I went with the Caseology Vault in Sage Green. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096T8JPP9

I'm debating what I should use my Google Store credit for purchasing the Pixel 6 Pro and Buds A on. Either one of the "official" cases, or the Pixel Stand 2 when it's available. Or both.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
what store credit are you referring to?

I ordered a red/black caseology parallax and a spigen tough armour to try them out. Combined they're still cheaper than an otterbox.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
I dont like that they expose so much of the phone though. plus its very little of actual kevlar in it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AkumaZeto:
I always go for Spigen with new phones. No surprise I will for the pixel 6!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Yeh, Spigen is always a good choice! Cheers 🍻
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biggiestuff:
I have the same ringke but just received my official case. I think you'll like the official case more.

Drawbacks is that the official case feels a little bulkier and is quite slippery.

The nice parts is it doesn't get that slimy feeling like tpu/plastic case tend to get. It attracts less fingerprints and has a soft touch to it. Lastly it just looks better with the silver G on the back.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
Yeah I'm looking at the spigen clear or this then getting the dbrand robot skin to match
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Celeras:
Came to complain about the same thing with the Ringke Matte Clear. That suction cup effect on the top is super annoying to look at.

The Spigen Ultra hybrid doesn't have that, but the bottom is a fingerprint & smudge magnet because it's not matte.

Has anyone found a good clear option yet?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
SUPER psyched to find a good clear, MATTE case option. I recently got this for my iPhone 13 Pro, and it's a great case for the money.

I too would like to hear your thoughts on these cases when you get them. Love the leather flip cover concept and have one on my pixel 2. The front fingerprint reader could spoil this case design for me, though.

I appreciate the fact that it doesn't appear to be covered in branding. I find that annoying in a case, quit monetizing my purchase choice by using it for advertising kthx. :)

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Got the black/gold Caseology Parallax case today: I'm gonna send it back. I really don't like the gold accents, looks very tacky.

I ordered the ash gray one instead, it wasn't available a few days ago. Hopefully I'll like it. I also wish they had the black/red for the 6 Pro but it's only for the regular 6 :(

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid (black) is also going back. This glossy transparent plastic back will be scratched in no time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
i bought the ringke Clear as amazon /ebay uk didnt have the matte and its pretty cheap for even a temporary case

got the dbrand robot camo skin on way anyhow to pair it up

still waiting for it to arrive see how the suction cup effect is on that version
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Cares:
Anyone know of a Pixel 6 Pro case that has something like a Popsocket which is removable for wireless charging?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Can't you buy PopSockets separately too, to add them to any existing case? https://www.popsockets.com/

I've never used them so correct me if I'm mistaken.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I tweeted Caseology asking if they would release the black/red version of the Parallax for the 6 Pro. Let's see if they'll reply to me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
Never used one but I believe the pop socket adhesive is a one time use, you can't remove and reattach it multiple times. :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darkamikaze:
My wife has the MagSafe Popsocket and it works on the Pixel 6 Pro pretty well. I can shake it upside down and it didn't come off. This is all without a case. Having a case definitely lessens the magnet effect and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have the Moment case which supports the MagSafe magnet layout.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Cares:
That's an interesting proposition. Get the Moment case with a MagSafe Popsocket Wallet...but that combo will run almost $100.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
How's your ash gray holding up? I just noticed reviews on Amazon with pictures saying the case is already discolored after a few days.

Mine is arriving today. I've already sent back 2 cases, I don't know if Amazon will like it if I send back another one! 😅
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spr33:
I returned my Spigen Tough Armor, it just felt way too boxy. Currently using using a Caseology Vault whilst I wait for my Tudia Merge to arrive from the US. Not a fan of the Vault - feels slippery in hand and isn't as protective as other cases I'm used to.

Quite surprised to see. No one else has got the merge though.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krips2003:
I got all these 3.

Poetic Guardian - Built like a Tank, but it adds more width/height to the already tall device. And it's bulky.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0964J5PHK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Spigen Rugged Armor - It's light weight but doesn't feel good when holding the phone in hand. I always feel like that the case might come out pretty easily if ever dropped and might cause damage to the device.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0964G4TLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Caseology Vault - This is also minimalist just like Spigen Rugged Armor, but it feels much better in hand. It also feels like it's built better than Spigen Rugged Armor. I'll keep this one and return the other 2.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096WSKCVG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tbalden:
I settled with the Caseology vault when going outside, traveling and at home using the Spigen thin. The latter one is somewhat less protective but good enough for home drops so far, two minor drops survived.

Vault is around 18g heavier compared to the Spigen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
I've recieved my Ringke Fusion Clear and it feels just like the one I have on my 2XL (4 years old, doesn't look like new but also doesn't like 4 years of mistreatment either). It 'looks' great in terms of cut outs and such. Maybe in January when I get my Pro (512) I'll be able to tell. :ROFLMAO:

Unrelated side note, when I opened it I thought, is this for the non-pro, did I order the wrong thing? It's identical in width, down to a fraction of a MM to my 2XL. It was in my head that the 6 pro was 'huuuuge' based on some reviewers and comments I've seen. :cautious: Same width, just a little bit longer.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] State.of.mind:
I thought this was a Bible
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
update got the Spigen Clear

the ringke fusion wasnt in stock for the pro and only glossy for the 6

overall the case is nice and grippy enough for my standards

the back center is hard plastic and people are complaining its a fingerprint magnet but tbf you only see any fingerprints on the black model and the white is perfectly unnoticeable
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
I'm using the "Aukvite Case for Google Pixel 6 Pro" since Monday, when I got my Pro :) I like it so far, because it's not too bulky, protects the camera on the back and adds grip.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Cares:
I just saw this advertised from JerryRigEverything and I think it looks like a super cool case option.

I have the Spigen Tough Armor in Black and is a big sturdy case, that'll definitely be my night out one. But for daily use I'm now using the Caseology Vault Case in Matte Black. It makes the phone feel much slimmer than the Tough Armour, nicer to hold
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lw00d:
i ended up getting three cases to test .. and only one came out on top..

first is

IMBZBK Shockproof https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095N5NDHY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1​

this case sucks. its hard plastic on the back with TPU on the sides. feels slippery in hand.

second is

Spigen Liquid Air Armor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0964H8HVY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1​

this one is actually really good, i like the feel of the case. feels good in hand, a little grippy. the button are great. the power button had ridges, the volume buttons are divided. i like the buttons very much on the spigen.

the top slit for the top speaker has a good size gap. the cheap IMBZK covers that top speaker completely

https://i.imgur.com/NttSyBS.jpg

Third is

Caseology Vault Protective Case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096WSKCVG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1​

this is the one i keep. i like the feel of this caseology , this case is more grippy. i know im not going to drop this phone with this case. the buttons are stale, flat, volume buttons are not divided, power button smooth like the volume.. but the top slit for top speaker has these to bumpers inside of case . so that the slit will never sag down to cover speaker.. so the gap will always stay .. i just wish i could add the buttons from spigen, to make this case perfect.

I bought this rando cheap Chinese one, just to have something on the way. It ironically didn't get here until almost a week later but because the phone showed up on Oct 30th decently early. I ordered mine off Target.com.

I actually weirdly kind of like the case though. It's got great textured sides that run fr the bott up to bout 3/4 of the way up and the back design plate is glass so it kind of feels like the phone did before but not as slippery. There's TPU underneath the glass design plate and it offers the same characteristics as any other cheap TPU case otherwise. I also got another thicker clear one with bubble cushions. It's ok but a bit thicker and it has a portion that goes over the camera bar which I don't really like though I guess that protects a lot better. Always a tough choice there!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ThugEsquire:
FYI, I tried out the Urban Armor Gear Scout case and while I really loved the case, it's thick enough to interfere with wireless charging. You should not buy this case if you plan to use wireless charging.

Instead, I'm sticking with the Caseology Vault, which fully supports wireless charging--even though I prefer the look of the Scout! Really too bad, but it's not the first time UAG gave no ****s about wireless charging compatibility.

Edit: UAG support confirmed the Scout doesn't support wireless charging. I appreciate that they can be definitive on this, but it is pretty dumb, since they also sell magsafe charging-compatible iPhone cases. Sigh... Here's what they said:
