First of all i want to thank every developer who made it possible for us to experience such cool things on which they spend their sleepless nights , endless hours for which "thank you " is just not enough. I want to aware beginners that what they enjoy in their hand, the smooth satisfying hassle-free seamless experience on phones is result of rigorous hours of hardworking consisting several phases of development (coding , porting , patching etc ).

Always Respect Developers

I am Tech enthusiast. Following this community since last year. Reading and learning about software development.
Here in this post i have contributed nothing. i am just sharing their work with their credits and also making it easier for you guys to follow the instructions and and procedure for entering into the new horizons of customization.

Realme is working really hard to push its development community to compete with MI. If this post will help it to grow it stronger even in 0.1% i will be happy :eek:

Note: upgrade device to latest firmware.

Step:1 Unlocking Bootloader
Here you can find full procedure of unlocking written by @Sun Lee

Step:2 Installing Twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/realme1/files/twrp-9.0/
use adb commands for booting into recovery(this version requires adb commands otherwise manually entering through hard keys is always recommeded.)


Flashing instruction for are:

step:3 Installing custom rom
Read and follow procedure carefully as given in OP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-1/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4107019 OP By @Invincible-Venom and his whole team


optional : Rooting
you can download magisk manager . it is most widely used and trusted su manager with tons of modding modules.
but always look up to exceptions and NOTE from rom maintainers. In case of latest lineage 17.1 you can only use magisk 20.1 , magisk 20.3


this guide is for very novice kids who are new in this world . i would recommend you to know basic things before doing any stuff written above.

i will recommend you download this version of twrp as you will need this for only stable custom rom made by @Invincible-Venom (again thank-you sir)
Once again read LineageOS 17.1 post for TWRP instructions.


note: dont reboot to twrp from cmd , it can soft brick your device . always perform it manually through keys.
This is ColorOS 5/5.2 issue. In ColorOS 6 the only way to enter recovery (after unlocking bootloader) is using command. So modify this statement.

In case of latest lineage 17.2 you can only use magisk 20.1
They can also use Magisk v20.3.

Hello,
I have a question, is it possible to root without flashing any custom rom? I'd like to stay with the current rom but have SU privileges. Is it possible with this phone right now?
