adb reboot fastboot
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J
fastboot flashing lock (screen will prompt to relock BL, choose to Relock)
The phone should reboot and install the original software. BUT...

You'll have to reflash the stock recovery.img, reboot to stock recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, and flash the CN update.zip rom to a flash drive FORMATTED TO FAT32

Flash CN rom then flash back to global rom, it will solve your problem (pin issue). You may search the tutorial for flashing here in XDA.
with which rom cn? Thanks for your help :)

!!!!I can no longer install a cn rom ...

What is your main issue? Go back to stock right?
my red magic is a chinese version with a basic cn rom. i switched it to global eu version few months ago. So I reinstalled the global eu, reset ... but it hangs during the configuration with a code that I am asked. And I can not reinstall the rom cn, it hangs at + - 24%. Thank you

Hi everyone, I just want to share this tutorial for someone like me (NEWBIE, NOOB, BEGINNER, ZERO KNOWLEDGE).
ALL CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.

PRE-REQUISITES
- Laptop
- Applications, .img files (https://mega.nz/file/igphSCTD#OybJo9t1zwvJ0bdbAcN2BCqxWXAfHdhk3JFB4_5xkVc)
- Your Nubia Phone

ENSURE THAT:
- You installed the application and driver (Minimal ADB and Fastboot & the driver from your Nubia phone).
- You updated your OS in the latest version.
- You UNLOCK the developer option (setting>>about phone>>tap 7x the build number) and you switch ON the OEM unlocking & USB Debugging.
- You approved the RSA request in your RM5G

NUBIA RED MAGIC 5G UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1. Connect your Nubia in laptop, in your laptop, open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type the following:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J
c. fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.4.1B-0324-NUBIA_REDMAGIC_5G-CN-wzsx150.img
d. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_BL_skip.img
e. fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
f. fastboot flash parameter parameter.img

2. Go to your RM5G, select reboot to recovery

3. It will reboot in TWRP twice, in the 2nd reboot it will stay in TWRP, change the language to English and select the keep read only.

4. Go to WIPE option, then select FORMAT DATA, type yes

5. Press home button, then go to REBOOT, select REBOOT to RECOVERY

NUBIA RED MAGIC 5G ROOTING PROCEDURE
6. Go to ADVANCED, below there are list, select INSTALL ROOT.

7. Reboot your RM5G.

At first, my RM5G restart twice, I was afraid that it was bootloop, the 3rd boots, it booted up and its rooted already.

Also, when I first registered my Finger Print, it’s malfunctioning, so I just deleted the OLD FP , register NEW FP and it works like a charm.

Now, I managed to flash the wonderful kernel of @mslezak.

And to all who made it successful.
Is flashing the bootloader unlocker required? There is already and option in the Developer Options to unlock it for OEM. Thank you.

Wifi calling

Does this rom have the wifi feature included? I'm thinking about rooting my phone and flashing a different OS but only if it has WiFi calling

Hi,
1. This is root + TWRP, it will not affect anything unless you do the procedure wrong
2. Some people in telegram claim its working also in 5s, i didnt try because my device is 5g. It might work because they have same hardware and software. Only difference is the modem.

Hi and thank you so much. Everyrhing was simple to attempt, and now I have a rooted phone. Excellent.
But one thing went wrong for me- I can't get mobile data to work. Neither manage APN settings. Can it depend on flashed modem in the package? I use global ROM.
