Hi everyone! Unfortunately I have had to revert back to the stock china rom my phone came with due to google cracking down on rooted/altered devices, and apps such as snapchat and google pay are essential for me. I was told if I locked my bootloader while on global firmware, it would brick, so here is a tutorial to revert your realme GT back to the stock china rom.
Make sure you have all software necessary - China Rollback file A24 and twrp 3.6.0 v2 from here (thanks to qiurigao), put those files in your sdk platform tools folder, and adb and fastboot drivers, sdk platform tools
Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your device.
1.boot to fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.boot to twrp
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0-V2.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you are in twrp, you can change language by tapping the setting icon in the corner, and then tapping the globe and english.
2. push ROM file to /data/ota.zip
adb push RMX2202_11_A.24_ROLLBACK_Android11.zip /data/ota.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. TWRP install /data/ota.zip
adb shell "twrp install /data/ota.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't worry about the red text.
4. Go stock Recovery Format data
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. once in realme recovery, you can tap english, and proceed to wipe data.
6. set up phone and turn on developer options to check that usb debugging is still enabled.
7. Boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Lock the bootloader
fastboot flashing lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
select yes to locking and wiping data.
Now your phone is set back to stock firmware, with no modifications. Google Pay works again! (ofc you have to install the play store and everything but it works again ) There will be lots of updates since the rollback file is quite old.
I actually had a china version as well but after some manipulations I have successfully locked the bootloader on Indian/Russian firmware, and the Google Pay and services work perfect which is really good as the Google services were completely useless in china rom.

Oh nice! Could you tell me about these 'manipulations' ? I don't think I'll do anything like that ever again but just for my curiosity

1. The phone must be with an unlocked bootloader without a lock code on the screen. (software version at this point was C15 EU)
2. First we put this file into internal memory, RMX2202_ROLLBACK_A14_IN.
3. We go into FastBoot, boot into TWRP with the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
IMPORTANT!!! Categorically do not flash TWRP with the FLASH command
This TWRP is wildly slow, the commands are late, I pressed wait 5-6 seconds.
4. Next, if in TWRP we see the file RMX2202_ROLLBACK_A14_IN, we flash it, be sure to check the box "Force install stock payload rom"
if the file is not visible in TWRP, then commands via ADB
We copy the firmware after renaming it to RMX2202_ROLLBACK.zip to the /data/ota.zip directory with the command:
adb push RMX2202_ROLLBACK.zip /data/ota.zip
Installing a previously copied file via TWRP:
adb shell "twrp install /data/ota.zip"
5. We reboot into the stock recovery manually, or with the command:
adb reboot recovery
and do Format Data (Congratulations to you India A14) you can enable, activate
6. Using OppoRealme-OFP-Flash_1.0-x64_Windows, flash 504040RMX2202export_11_A.16_2021101902310291 (The flasher is launched via the command line, there we select the region we want and then the first item under the number 0 so that it flashes clean)
(I flash for the first time with the label IN-India (When I flash on the IN region for the first time with a flasher, the body fell into FastBoot in the process and the command line was waiting and the process did not go, then I drove it into FastBoot with the three buttons and the process continued.), activated the body, and flashed it over the same version, but with the tag RU-Russia.I think you can immediately flash on RU, skipping the step with flashing to IN, but here it is already according to your desire, if you want exactly like me, then do this)
7. Downloaded and installed all OTA updates. (You can download OTA update c16 in zip and flash through three points, after enabling developer mode)
8. IMPORTANT!!! lock the bootloader after all the updates, the phone itself wiped again, it is normal.
This was taken from another forum and translated in Google translate but I think you'll understand what is going on.
Do you have a video showing the step by step for this procedure? I have a realme GT 5G that has a global ROM, I would like to use the Chinese Rom to be able to use NFC.

Sorry, I'm afraid not. The steps listed are the same as the process to convert your phone to the global rom, it's just that you lock the bootloader at the end. So if you remember that, it's just that but locking the bootloader at the end.

Sorry man I'm not sure for international devices, but if you're certain that your realme was originally a chinese model, you can do this? I would ask some other threads as well

Non-international device, it is Chinese. in which a global rom was added by the aliexpress seller. I want to go back to the CN factory rom following your tutorial.
installing the rollback rom is simple? Can there be any problems during the installation?

Hi, for notifications I ended up having to check permissions for notifications on every app I installed, I'm not sure why but I had to do that
For 5G I had to wait like a week one time, it might be because you got your realme recently but just wait a bit and do a restart

Hi guys,
Just recently purchased redmi note 3 pro 32gb from gearbest.
Phone should be international version with 7.2.13.00(LHOCNCL) preinstalled.
I found that I cannot flash any standard / developer ROM when official website by using built-in flash tool.
Any way to go from here? to at least receive OTA updates and in future I will like to try out Ressurection rom.
thanks.
Your ROM is unexsisting one, cooked by the seller.
You must flash a new one clean via EDL mode and MiFlash
This CN in the name means Chinese, and the numbers says that the rom is only modified to support more languages.

Does this mean i need to wait for unlock bootloader first?
my MI account has previous device linked which I just removed now and set to my new phone.
might take weeks to get approval?
or is there a guy to by pass the locked bootloader?
thanks.

No you wont loose your IMEI. Basically you are just flashing official MIUI Rom, your IMEI details are stored in another partition (non volatile) and FlashAll will not touch them.
You are safe to follow this guide, and by the way you would not be able to unlock the bootloader (the official way) from this vendor Rom. So if you plan to do so later, here you go with this first step.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? You need to check in fastboot mode, by typing in fastboot oem device-info
you may have to boot straight to recovery, or the recovery image may get overwritten
my bootloader is locked.i think above method is for locked bootloader.right.i pressed power+volume up right after flashing(after disconnecting cable),phone showed mi logo and then after 5-6 seconds its showing to connect cable again. also when i use miflash tool to unlock bootloader.its not showing advanced menu in miflash tool.any solutionfor that too.my desktop is windows 7 32 bit os.do i need a 64 bit os to get all options in miflash tool.pls any solution.
Can anyone confirm the successful installation on Kenzo along with the step by step guide. And please let me know which fastboot rom should be used for fastboot flashing.

I can't write you a detailed step-by-step guide because my English is not so perfect, but: you need to install the Global/Chinese Developer rom. Must be Developer rom, but you can choose which of them (Chinese or Global).
I made it with Global Developer, so I can confirm that this method perfectly works.
Luck!

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on Xda,
I seem to have committed a costly mistake since this is not available in India, in a hurry i bought the Japanese version of this phone, the S0-51B,which incidentally is a single sim variant. Is there anyway of I can flash this Chinese Rom and achieve Dual Sim?
I saw online that there is not much hardware difference between this and the Chinese version. Can anyone kindly confirm this?.

Update yourbphone to latest v14
Is there any way to relock the phone just through fastboot? After installing an OTA update, the partitions should match the vbmeta partition, right? So could just relock the bootloader using fastboot flashing lock or would the phone not start then?

Your device will go in to boot img corrupt after that.......
PLEASE NOTE: This isnt working if you are on a custom rom! My Bootloader ist broken and locked and I have to figure out how to fix this ****.
Hello Pankspoo.
I reset my Nord 2 again with an A11 image.
Now I wanted to lock the bootloader again. I have implemented your instructions one to one.
After that, the Nord 2 will boot normally and start.
But in the developer options I can still unlock the bootloader. So the option is not greyed out. The OTA cannot be installed but does not lead to a bootloop either.
I used the appropriate boot.img recovery & vbmeta.img.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Check YASNAC app from play store if it's showing safety net check passed your locked.
While installation of OTA what's errors u r getting.
After locking OEM unlock not grates off actually now it's available to unlock again with switchable tab
Sorry for crossposting a lot today, but I am really stuck and it seems that this may be the tool I need. I am on A15, cannot lock bootloader and cannot update.
So, to be sure, for this to work I need the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img for A15 stock rom? If yes, where can I get those files?
I found the files! Thank you for this guide! It worked perfectly. I really thought my phone was completely bricked. Coming from a Pixel, the root/restore process on this thing is a complete nightmare!!

Hi, I have a question. I have an unlocked bootloader, if I have my mobile service serviced and I have the original rom reinstalled there will the botloader be locked?

Definitely, no doubt about that. But the rooting-proces after that is easy and well described here. Don't forget to FIRST take you OTA's, that makes things easier!

I want to lock the botloader, I don't want root anymore. I just need to be sure that if I service the phone for reinstallation to the original firmware, then the bootloader will be locked. Will be? thank you for answer
No worries, it'll be locked after a factory flash!

This happened to me. It turns out that I had version A10 and flashed the A12stock_boot.img and when rebooting I had no wifi. I had no twrp either, since I had just flashed the stock recovery too.
So, I figured "did this actually updated to A12?" I checked the build version on the settings and no, it did not. So maybe thats the reason the system gets confused and some functions (I only noticed wifi) don't work properly.
Anyway, this is how I solved it:
1) restored my A10 version (flashing the file I got from a link on this post)
2) rebooting to A10, I did have wifi. I tried to update to A19 through Software Updater, but even though it did download the update.zip, it failed to update ("didn't pass the verification"). So, I:
3) flashed TWRP again, rebooted into it and installed the update.zip file (in data/ota_package/) that had just been downloaded by Software Updater.
4) Rebooted.
5) Fastboot flashing lock
6) Rebooted again. Congrats, its a brand new phone!!
P.S. Don't forget to lock the OEM unlocking option in Settings.
