The hardware is basically the same on all as far as I know, so just use the one that's closer to you.
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
What i did is below.

My flash options:

View attachment 5532813
[Realme GT Neo 2] Malediktion:
Thanks for sharing! So after that you just put on cmd "fastboot flashing lock" and it got locked.
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
Yes and after phone rebooted i went to developer options to turn off oem unlock option, just swiped off.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Malediktion:
Good job. Thanks for the info! I'm gonna try it soon as well. Want to try from europe to india since I want Play Store as well. One last thing. No problems with IMEI or something, is that right?
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
entered command *#06#: Imei's shows same as they are on phone box
[Realme GT Neo 2] Efigeah:
I don't understand, is your device European or Chinese? and you changed to which version?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Efigeah:
the Russian file and other regions was corrupt, I switched to a valid one now
[Realme GT Neo 2] Efigeah:
could you give me the download link for the chinese package
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
my device is european, i wanted to try chinese os which almost without google bloatware.
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
i dont have link, i paid few bucks for chinese rom and that link already expired, i have it on pc, but my internet so slow, uploding big files takes a lot of time.

edit: found website and url:

https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=532520
[Realme GT Neo 2] Efigeah:
if you can send it to me so i can upload it to my google drive
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
Done, sent to PM. please reupload to your drive and share with others too ^^
[Realme GT Neo 2] hauxd:
How to download the tool ?

Thank!
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
May I know why you go with chinese rom? besides the update, I think without google it is very hard to go around the devices.

Edit: Answered
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Just follow the steps from github links according to your pc's OS. Need to install phyton and git. Just google it and install it.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
I'm considering to root my device now but since twrp is needed, I'm afraid I cannot download OTA update.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Ahmed Nasr:
So, what did make you do this move? And since you tried both versions which one do you like more?, Did you see any advantages in Chinese rom like performance or battery life?
[Realme GT Neo 2] kratorishe:
Good day. My neo2 European region firmware version A.06 . When the firmware is Russian, RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.02 , neo2 does not load. With the firmware of the European A.02 , neo2 does not load. With the European A.06 firmware, it works again. On the website https://realmefirmware.com / the archive from Russian, RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06 is damaged. Tell me where you can get a good archive with Russian firmware A.06.

The bootloader is unlocked.

Sorry for the English translator used.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Efigeah:
look at private messages
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
im still testing chinese rom. At this moment im two days on it and i could say that battery holds better then europe rom of course its my opinion. Performance looks same i cant tell difference. Main reason i changed from european rom to chinese is google. Chinese rom still have google services and google apps i need still works from google play store.

I like realme dialer, calendar and others realme stock apps instead of google.
[Realme GT Neo 2] joksax:
google services still there, only dialer, calendar and other realme stuff istead of google stuff.
[Realme GT Neo 2] G3LO14:
Hi,

I currently have Chinese version of gt neo 2. I wanted to switch to Indian version.

After unlocking and transferring ROM to Indian Version. Can I relock the bootloader using Indian Rom?
[Realme GT Neo 2] lucasdeva:
help me ! i'm in fastboot mode but can't running
[Realme GT Neo 2] Medstudent:
Did you unlock bootloader?

And update adb driver?
[Realme GT Neo 2] lucasdeva:
everything has been leveled up
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yes you can
[Realme GT Neo 2] G3LO14:
Did it work on your device? I dont want to brick my gt neo 2
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yes. I decided to lock mine and it didn't brick my device. It may vary from one device to another. You can give it a shot.
[Realme GT Neo 2] G3LO14:
Just make sure, is your device China version out of the box then you converted it to Indian rom and relock the bootloader?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
correct
[Realme GT Neo 2] G3LO14:
Another thing, my phone needs to unlocked before flashing Indian rom, right?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
That is the first and crucial step before anything else. Unlocking bootloader does not take much time. Just need to follow the steps carefully.
[Realme GT Neo 2] ALFERUS:
Hello everyone! I have a problem with the firmware of the Chinese version to the European one. The bootloader unlocked the norms.According to the instructions through python, I launch the firmware and as a result the firmware stops with an error

[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
did you put the ofp file in the same folder as the flash tool and click flash.py? try to re-do everything from the first step. choose to clear partition as well from the option. please do backup your device.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Anhtu123:
t How do you want to reopen the lock?
[Realme GT Neo 2] tox1:
Such an amazing thread! Seeing ppl switch across region is intersteresting

I don't hv a gut to switch at the moment (a chinese rom user) as that takes some time and afraid of data lost..

I would like a rom with google as a base cos the chinese rom is too powerful to control (esp app rights and things) which you have to spend much time to adjusting settings and rights in order for your app to work normally. e.g. delay in notification and auto start etc...

Really appreciate the effort for providing method and sharing here
[Realme GT Neo 2] luki2411:
I have more than 10 GB of free space and I still have this error
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
where do you put flash.py file and the rom? Try putting it in different folder
[Realme GT Neo 2] luki2411:
on drive c you mean to put them in a completely different folder than the rest?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Pavel_350:
if i change region from africa to indian can i come back? And can I lock the bootloader after switching to india?
[Realme GT Neo 2] G3LO14:
What should I see when opening Flash.py in OFP Flash Tool? When I open it, it keeps closing by itself. Nothing happened.

I already installed Python
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
a command prompt will open. have you installed git?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
you can try doing that. If not, other solution is try using another pc
[Realme GT Neo 2] luki2411:
It turned out that the problem was that I had windows 32 bit and it must be 64 bit
[Realme GT Neo 2] hauxd:
problem with my google play?

How to fix ?

Thanks!
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
I don't think this will be an issue for your device. Play store still function normally and google apps as well. I just checked my sister's phone which is Samsung S21 and it have no play protect certification. But if you click Play Protect from list of menu from play store, it still provide play protect scanning.
[Realme GT Neo 2] tox1:
One thing I want to ask is, what happen to the bandwidth after switching region? Any problem in receiving 4G/5G after that?
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
I want to flash global rom which one to choose ?
[Realme GT Neo 2] gmiramir:
deleted
[Realme GT Neo 2] gmiramir:
send me too please
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
So far, network/band is still receiving okay
[Realme GT Neo 2] DarkTaiga:
This tool is awesome. I've just flash Global Rom (or region Thailand) because it still keeps Realme Dialer.
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
Can we relock bootloader after changing region
[Realme GT Neo 2] DarkTaiga:
Yes you can.
[Realme GT Neo 2] gmiramir:
Where did you download the global firmware from?
[Realme GT Neo 2] DarkTaiga:
Realme Firmware Update (Stock ROM) - Realme Firmware

Flash your Realme phone with latest firmware rom (Flash File) via Realme Flashtool.

realmefirmware.com
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
Which rom is global ? I mean beside china other rom are global right
[Realme GT Neo 2] DarkTaiga:
It's Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other regions like #1 said. I just call it that to distinguish it from the Indian and EU versions. Sorry for confusion. Based on region code, you can know what version is. Some region use Google Dialer and some use Realme Dialer, but basicallly it's same and still has google service.
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
I am from Nepal and i am using indian version confused which region to choose
[Realme GT Neo 2] nibera:
Hello, I bought this magnificent phone version of Europe RMX3370 updated via ota to android 12 with pacth of January 2022, now I wanted to understand which version to install to have the recordings of the calls and the Italian language?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
android 12 failed to flash PERSIST and stuck at flashing cache for 1st region. For 2nd region, it booted but stuck at configuration and there's some kind of battery error notification. Now i CANNOT boot to bootloader. Screen is not responsive.
[Realme GT Neo 2] nibera:
Hi, I have my GT Neo 2 RMX3370 (europe) with ANDROID 11 Reame UI 2.0 version RMX3370_11_A.05 not unlocked, how can I upgrade to Realme UI 3.0 version Android 12, since the phone does not see update via OTA, thanks
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Hi bro. Greeting. Im new here. Just purchased my realme gt neo 2 dragon ball edition, with china rom. Im planning to change the region to global, as this china rom does not support volte in Malaysia. My question is, this dragon ball have some special features in it such as dbz icons, charging icons etc. Is there a way I can keep those special effect from some partition, and flash everything else to different region? I read all this comment here several time to understand the step as I still new on this changing rom. Hope I can get some reply to this matter. Thanks!
[Realme GT Neo 2] Tincho.s:
buenas noches me podrian ayudar tengo realme gt neo2 region PY con android 11 A0.3 latinoamerica y no pasa de eso, saben como actualizar?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Unfortunately you will not get all the effects. Changing the rom will requires you to wipe everything including the system image. When you flash the global rom, the user interface will be like normal realme ui.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Ah, sad to hear. But thanks for the reply. Are your from Malaysia also? Is it true china rom don't have volte supported? Heard some say china rom get LTE HD instead of volte. But don't know it function the same.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
I bought mine from Shopee with chinese rom installed. For china rom, it only support LTE HD calling instead. It almost the same quality as volte as far as I'm concern but volte is better in terms connection speed. I've changed mine to global and it have volte calling support from the sim settings :). But have to make sure both you and the one you call support volte to maximize the connectivity. I suggest you to check the setting first and search for volte just to confirm.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
When I read all the comment here, I was hoping that you will reply my comment, because your name. Haha. I also buy this phone through shopee. 1st I thought just wanna buy myset at local shop. But then my eyes can get off of this dbz crossover.

I'm not quiet fully understand the step to change the region. 1st need to unlock bootloader or not? Because in the guide didn't mention to unlock bootloader. And how to unlock bootloader ya? 😅

Can you help me on how to do this flashing from scratch? It would be very helpful for me sir.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
if i was you, I wouldn't worry much about the icon as long as it is different from the external, but that just my opinion. ahahahah.

You can find the steps to unlock your bootloader in the forum, go to this link- https://xdaforums.com/t/bootloader-unlock-realme-gt-neo-2-rmx3370-all-variants.4391679/ . Then you can follow the steps at this thread to flash new rom.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Yeah that what I thought! As long as the external as what we want, and internal is what we need.

Alright, thank you sir. Will try later. Nice!
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Bro. before flashing new stock region, can we backup the origin stock rom in this phone and flash back to origin stock rom? If can, how to do ya?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Mystery555:
Can anyone help me? my device is stuck in a black boot-loop I can only push power up and power button then it goes black again
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
This require more complicated steps like rooting and installing twrp which I would not recommend. Although, I did not know the exact steps how.
[Realme GT Neo 2] kofvander2016:
nao consigo baixar as roms
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Oh. Nvm then. I will just flash to global for the volte. Thank you for your assist sir!
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Bro, I stuck at no.7. It say press shift and right click open Powershell window here. But I only see command window. And after I connect the phone to usb and put fastboot devices, it not show my device.

Please help I'm stuck at here. 😅
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
reinstall adb drivers for your phone. Restart pc and try again
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Ok thanks for the help. Will try again later today!
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I still stuck at this point. I already installed all realme gt neo 2 drivers bit still stuck at this.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
did you enable usb debugging and allow the computer connect to your android already (prompt to allow usb debugging)?
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I managed to fix the problem. Its in device manager for Android device not recognize.

I manage to flash the rom with unlock bootloader. But somehow after restarting my touch screen can't use at all. Do you know what im doing wrong?

Thank you for your help bro.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Which rom do you flash? Do not flash indian android 12 RUI 3.0. It will make that error. I've experience the same problem like yours after flashing it. Otherwise, all rom version are good to go. You just need to flash other rom again
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I flash no5 first, then 11, then 3. All this rom can't use touch screen. Can you suggest the right rom? 😢
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Try downloading the global rom zip file. Its under Europe region and choose number 8. I never try A.07 before.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Ok bro. Now downloading euro rom. Will try if it work. Thank you bro.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Already flash no8 and 1. Both still no working touch screen. 😢
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
That is so weird. @SrCDA this is what I mentioned to you in telegram. Do you have any other solution? As for your device try flashing it again but choose another option. Try choosing no. 1 this time. If still not working, you can try flashing other region or other code and see if its working. Trial and error at this point. But it is really weird that even other rom got you the unresponsive UI.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Already flashed to India rom. Still got non responsive touch screen. Ah, I don't know what to do now. 😥
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
I also got the same issue while flashing beta c3 phone boots up but touch doesn't work and restart itself. I flashed A 0.7 and it worked . Mine is indian varient i think you need to flashed the proper region rom to fix this

[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Can you try flashing chinese rom back this time? Btw, after you flashed the rom, you press anything from the flash.py tool and after that boot your device from bootloader by pressing power button and the display shows "START"? I think there's something wrong with the flashing process like it is not complete. Don't change any options from the flash.py tool, make sure everything is set to new. Flash the same rom with the same region code for 2-3 times. If you still encounters the same error, I suggest you to use another pc or reinstall everything including your drivers.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I already try to flash back to china rom. But now it wont even turn on the device. Charging also didn't show any indicator. Is my phone brick already? 😭
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Already flash back to china rom. It won't even turn on now. Charging also didn't show anything. Ah im dead.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Yes, this is what I did as well. But its just weird for me that I came from chinese rom and I managed to install indian rom to my device without the error. Its just the C3 version giving me the error. Other roms are not.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Can you still boot to your bootloader?
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I try press power + down button, nothing happen. I try hold power on button still nothing. I don't know what went wrong
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
First flash A 07 than apply for beta mine is solved that way. Don't flash A 08 you will not get beta update.

Try both volume + - and power
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Hold it longer at least for 10 seconds.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Bro it work! I press up + down + power bottom and screen go to fastboot. Ok I will try your menthod. But if upgrade beta, will go to android 12 right?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
btw you did not locked your bootloader back after flashing the rom? If you did, that may caused the error
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yes but that would be another process after you successfully booted to A.07 indian rom. I really hope you can make it this time
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I follow like in the instruction. I place OFP file only to flash folder. And execute opporealme-OFP-flash. And follow the step afterward. Is it right?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yes that is correct. This time try flashing the A.07 indian rom and lets see from there. Hope its working!
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
So after flashing A.07 india rom, if still not working touch screen, I need to beta upgrade to Android 12 to make it work like shiddhi said?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
No. What he/she means actually is beta access for indian rom required A.07 to apply. A.08 wont give you the beta access. If you want to upgrade to android 12 beta, you need to be in A.07 version to apply.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
To make it clear, if the flashing is done and it say press start to continue.. It is done right? I just need to unplug the cable and press power button, right?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yes correct. But leave the cable attached first if you can. Then press the power button
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
My phone already boot up to select language but still no touch screen no function. Now do I need to apply for beta and install it for the touch screen to work?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
OMG why did that happen :(. You have to pass the configuration screen and enter setting for your phone because you need to register to realme account first to get the beta. mmmmmmmm... This is my last suggestion for you. Boot your phone to fastboot and using volume button choose recovery then press power button. IF you manage to get your phone in recovery mode, wipe your data from the options and boot your phone again.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I managed to go to recovery mode using mouse. But in recovery mode for wipe data need to insert code, but I still can't use my touch screen. Is my touch screen broke? Or they don't calibrated each other with the system?

Im so sorry for asking for your help so many time. Thank you for all your reply sir. 😭
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
https://realmefirmware.com/realme-gt-neo2-5g-firmware/ try this rom. The first one. Latest indian rom version A.08. In flash.py tool try both region code 1 and 2 if one is not working.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
I wonder if this was cause because of your phone hardware version is not compatible with all the rom posted in this forum since yours is the dragonball version but I think that is not suppose to hinder your screen since you still can use your buttons. And I've checked from google it has the same version code as all others Realme GT Neo2 5G.
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
I thick you u need dragon ball special firmware for your device only this might fix the problem. Dragon ball edition is china only or global also
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
It might have same code but may be different in boot.img or may be something else I don't know ....did you search for the firmware for your device i mean for dragon ball edition
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
yeah i guess so too. I've searched for it at google but cannot found it anywhere. @lotdsiv I guess you need to bring it to realme service centre to fix it.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Called realme malaysia but they only accept repair for myset only.

My phone now not displaying anything again. Now even I press vol down + up + power button, it even not displaying anything even fastboot mode.

I think my phone completely broke now. Sad just use only 5 days. 😥
[Realme GT Neo 2] chemicalboyxda:
There Is a guy, that have the ROM for your Phone. But the problem Is that you have to Pay. Search for @kreatifintech in telegram or yotube.

I saw some Time ago a YouTube Review for your Phone that brings a sd865 and not 870. The guy show the cpuz app. Really strange because the Phone code Is the same. The other Solution ITS to ask to AliExpress sellers that put the global ver to your Phone how to do it
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Thanks bro. Already contacted the guy. Hope got some magic to bring this phone work again. Thanks again bro
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Hey bro, I feel sorry for your phone. I found the specific link if that guy's youtube channel showing the steps to fix gt neo 2 dragonball.

. You may want to download the rom and try to flash it using flash.py tool first before proceeding to ask him to fix your phone. Hopefully the rom zip file is not password protected or otherwise, that would be part of him getting the payment for the services.
[Realme GT Neo 2] chemicalboyxda:
Alifirdaus that file Is password protected. I already downloaded but cannot unzip using similar passwords to the user that do the job
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Yeah bro already contacted the guy. Its password protected file. So the guy is my last savior. Hope everything will turn out okay. Thanks bro
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Let us know how's it going. Hopefully everything will worked out for you!
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
I try to flash to normal stock firmware again. But the last part super partition said is broken already.

Im waiting the guy reply my message to remote flash my device. Hope everything turn out fine.
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Update :

Thanks to the guy, my phone now finally work! Its $37 worth of experienced. Glad I don't have to buy another phone!
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
Good to hear bro
[Realme GT Neo 2] shiddhi dai:
Bootloader locked or unlocked
[Realme GT Neo 2] Alifirdaus:
Good to hear! SO did you go back to chinese rom or dragonball global rom?
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Dragon ball cnrom. He said global rom for dragon ball edition still not out yet. Its ok for me now. 😅
[Realme GT Neo 2] lotdsiv:
Still unlocked
