Why there is need for this Guide?

When I got my Realme 5, I wanted to Unlock the Bootloader, Install the TWRP Recovery, root it and finally Install a Custom ROM. So, I've Searched for it and Finally Disappointed:( B'coz many Guides were wrong and some were Very Old and Outdated Guides.. So I've Researched and now with many problems, Finally I've Unlocked the Bootloader, installed TWRP and finally Flashed LineageOS 17.1:giggle:.. So, this Guide saves your time, I've Included the Steps What I did, you guys can simply follow it;)..


This Guide is only applicable for Realme 5(rmx1911) and not for Realme 5i, Realme 5s or Realme 5 Pro..

Things You need to Continue :

  • A Windows Laptop/PC (Windows because, I am showing the Procedure with Windows)
  • Minimal ADB and FastBoot
  • Recovery (I've flashed PitchBlack Recovery, but you can also do this procedure with TWRP recovery)
  • Of course a Realme5 (rmx1911) ;)
  • In-Depth Test apk

All the Download Links of above files are in Bellow..

Procedure :

Steps to Downgrade from RealmeUI 1 to ColorOS 6

  • If you're in Latest android 10 RealmeUI, first you need to downgrade to ColorOS 6 android pie.
  • To do so, download ColorOS package(.ozip package) from below link.
  • Open this .ozip package with File Manager app and Locate this package.
  • Click on that package, A pop-up will appear, In that Select "Upgrade Now" or something like that..
  • It will wipe your data and It will boot into ColorOS setup, Complete the Setup..

Users who are in ColorOS 6, need not to follow above Steps!

  • If you see something like "Review Successful", You are good to go..
  • Select "Start the in-depth test", You will be forwarded to fast boot mode..
  • Connect the mobile to PC.
  • Now comes the role of PC/Laptop, Download the Fastboot and Minimal ADB, Recovery.img and vbmeta.img From the attachments.
  • Extract that fastboot zip in some Directory, Copy the recovery.img and vbmeta.img to the fastboot folder.
  • Open the Minimal ADB and Fastboot and in that open "cmd-here.exe"
  • Type "fastboot devices", then enter, You should see something like serial number.
  • Type "fastboot flashing unlock", then enter, now check ur phone you will see something like "Unlock" or similar to something..
  • You need to select the Unlock with the help of volume button and select with power button.
  • After Selecting "Unlock" all data will be deleted and Your Phone will be unlocked..
