If you download the latest update from nubia website and apply it. root will be removed..
Is there a way to remove the unable to update thing because of the root?

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
excuse me brother between each line should I give enter? or do I write all the commands and at the last press enter on my PC? thanks for answering

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.

If you have not unlocked your bootloader yet, then no. This will allow you to install TWRP recovery. And put magisk root on your phone, without unlocking your bootloader, and without losing your fingerprint sensor.
It is a good alternative, I am not interested in losing my fingerprint I want root and twrp to install the kernel with 900hz gpu overclock, is it possible with this method or if I need to unlock the bootloader?

the small tutorial I have on my Thread should work on both 5G and 5S models.

it will not unlock your bootloader.

it will install TWRP as a recovery
it can (if you want root) install magisk as a root controller.

you won't lose your finger print. and you can use root and TWRP to install LOS or other region Stock roms.

brother without unlocking the bootloader can you install the kernel with overclock to 900hz gpu? or do I need to unlock yes or yes?
