Yes but we also need the Kernel Source Codes for making good stable and bug free roms. We should all demand to Realme & Madhav Seth for providing the Kernel Source Codes in a big amount of people otherwise they won't provide it ( like how micromax does ).
BUT, as per the GPL Policy its Realme's own responsibility to provide the source codes. So we need to ask for it as its our right to get it :fingers-crossed:

I don't understand, I thought we can just OEM unlock the device? There's even a guide on how to unlock and install custom recovery. Please enlighten me :crying:

well, its simple. If you need to unlock the bootloader and root your device, your device must have fastboot binaries enabled. Realme is going to provide that on or before 15 Jan thus enabling us to root our device.
There are many guides to "unlock and install custom recovery" but all are fake, and authors done this just to provide publicity for their blogs.

That is a dummy switch for now. Turning ON that switch alone doesnt unlock the bootloader. Even if there is a switch, we cannot go into fastboot mode to unlock the device. Realme doesnt allow bootlocker unlocking due to their policies, so they shipped the device with fastboot binaries disabled (without fastboot binaries, bootloader unlocking is impossible). Now due to the recent change of events, Realme is enabling it. There must be an OTA or sth for that. After that, turn on the unlock switch, go to fastboot mode, unlock oem, flash crecovery and ergo root your device!! (this is the conventional method).

That switch is to toggle the get_unlock_ability variable in the kernel. If it is not set, the kernel will not allow flashing recovery. Please see android documentation for more details. That switch is not a dummy switch since it is important to set it, but it does not unlock the device on its own. You need to run fastboot commands for that to happen.
