Using the unbrick tool would have removed root.Hi again, successfully unbricked and was reverted back to 3.12 (rooted), now i need help to unroot it to get have OTA and banking app.
I wish i have the answers but i just did what the instructions here, anyway i am good now thanks, gonna stick to 8.12v.Using the unbrick tool would have removed root.
If you tried to update with an unlocked bootloader it may have stopped. Or maybe you rooted after unbricking im not sure.
But usually when you use the unbrick tool your phone is set back to factory. - unless your bootloader is unlocked, then this is still flagged by the system until you relock the bootloader.
Either way, glad your sorted.
From step 11, I keep getting into twrp!!TWRP and root guide for 5S and 5G on Android 10 only - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked during and after process is complete.
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put an installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file found at the end of this post
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted. (CD = Change Directory)
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable replace TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Reboot to system for the first time and complete the initial setup. this is to create the user space partitions data/media ( preferably do not make a pin or pattern at this stage)
13. once in the rom, connect to PC and copy over the Magisk zip to the internal memory. then reboot holding Volume up
14. once back into TWRP (if you created a pin during setup TWRP will ask you for your pin to access data) go into install and flash the Magisk.zip you moved in step 13 then reboot. once back into the rom, you will see a Magisk app, tap it and allow to update, the APK will install latest version of the manager.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have an update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

I'm working on a process that will update to Android 11, through TWRP and root, without losing data. Much like a stock update.
I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
Probably data was not wiped correctly. You will continue to boot to recovery if data is encrypted.
Same scenario here brother, what I did was to unbrick my nubia 5G and update until 8.12. Try to backread it will help you understand new things.I received the update to android 11 today , and I wish i didn't updated it
1. I am not able to change the launcher to Microsoft launcher since its was my main launcher
2. when I holding power button to power off or restart , the icon for power off and restart is not showing View attachment 5306491
3.when i try to added my apps to nubia launcher they disappear from home
any fix for this ?
You had to go to wipe, clear data and cache. This happens because the data is encrypted and when you root it becomes corrupted.

I'm working on a process that will update to Android 11, through TWRP and root, without losing data. Much like a stock update.
I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
you could try using different Bluetooth driver settings in the developer options ( i found using Aptx on Aptx compatible head units to be very good and clear) but if you reall have no other option after trying different bluetooth settings, backing up your photos and other important data, and unbricking back to Android 10 is all you can do.Hi there. I do regret updating my firmware of my RM5s due to tons of bugs. Whenever i connect my phone through android car play there was no sound and it was very laggy unlike before the update.
Is there a way to downgrade my firmware im running on eu 7.57 on my redmagic 5s.
Thanks for your reply.cheers mate.
if you have installed TWRP or root before, and even unrooted, the phone state is still flagged as root until you clear all the modified flags.Hello, I updated my phone with a beta version of the firmware, then restored it using Red_Magic_5G_Unbrick_Tool_ (EU), and now I can not get updates via WIFI! Writes your device is root!
Help me fix it please!
Большое спасибо! Все получилось после обновления!Здравствуйте, обновил свой телефон бета-версией прошивки, потом восстановил с помощью Red_Magic_5G_Unbrick_Tool_ (EU), и теперь не могу получать обновления по WIFI! Пишет ваше устройство root!
Помогите исправить пожалуйста!
I'm not sure if your issue persist but google servers in Europe are having issues (https://support.google.com/accounts...dd-my-google-account-to-android-devices?hl=en). The way you can work around is connecting to Americas servers via vpnHello! I just ugraded to V7.64 and I cannot login to my Google Account: after I accept the conditions, it says "Your account is not been added. Retry". Any solution, please?
EDIT: problem solved, thanks.
