You don't need to, I'm pretty sure. You just need the volume-buttons from what I remember. Besides, I'm near-certain that you use "adb" and not "fastboot". My memory could be failing me, though. It might be worth a try, however.It's just the fastboot screen that in-depth test apk helped me get into, so I haven't been able to access adb commands to unlock the bootloader.

So I got it finally working! The problem was that my adb usb drivers weren't properly installed.
Nice! Lemme know if you have any other questions. I'll be here, probably, hehe.

Right.., so I followed the guide to install TWRP but when i boot into recovery, the default realme UI recovery shows up. Everything was "okay" too.
EDIT: I did it, no help needed!

Can you upload it somewhere else? I cant download it because on mega there's 5GB limit per day
Why is that? Try the MEGA desktop-app, or a different browser, maybe. It'd take me forever to upload it somewhere else: my upload speed isn't very good.
I dont know why is that, few monts ago I downloaded 50GB file and it was working, but this time i used cloudflare warp to get another 5gb.
What should I do when after flashing recovery I cant get into pbrp? Device just boots system, when I again try volume down button I get into realme ui recovery but when i try to install magisk it says "instalation failed", is there any way to install twrp or any custom recovery that wont disappear?
I am an idiot and when trying to root my phone i bricked it, when i was trying it
my phone booted to realme ui recovery and it said there's a system error and to do online update but it coudnt find any wifi, can anybody help me? I'm so stressed that is permamently bricked
It's near impossible to brick an MTK device. Just use SP FLash-tools to re-flash the stock firmware.
No problem. Just type here if anything else happens. Me or another will chime in with a tip or two, hopefully. Happy flashing!Oh thank you, you saved my life
I'm really sorry for spamming in this topic but how should I root my device? everytime when i'm patching boot.img I cant run system again, I tried to change extenstion of magisk.apk to zip and install it using pbrp but then settings app is crashing everytime i try to launch it
No worries. Ask as much as you want.
You install the magisk apk, find the boot.img for your phone's current ROM, and then patch it with the magisk app. Then, you put the patched boot image into the ADB platform-tools, and start the flashing process afterwards. Like this:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot x.img (where "x" is the name of the patched boot image you got from Magisk)
If you're using a custom ROM, extract its zip file, and then move it to your phone. If you're using the ROM I uploaded to the MEGA, you should be able to find it somewhere in the folder. You're looking for the "boot.img" file.
I'm using rom from mega, I did everything like you said, like on youtube videos on internet etc. but it again got a bootloop. Here's how I did it
You did pretty much everything right. It seems that the boot image is either not the correct one, or the stock ROM is unrootable, for whatever reason. Would you consider flashing a custom ROM? I can recommend crDroid 7.8 with confidence.
I tried root on dotos and it was working fine, and I'm trying to root coloros cause its prettiest os I've ever seen, but imo it have to be rootable, no one there said that he has problem with rooting, and I can root it in pbrp but settings app doesnt working
I'm not too sure what to do in that case. You are using the boot.img for that exact version of ColorOS, correct? It cannot be any other.
I dont know how to check if boot.img is for right coloros, my version is a.87, is there any option to get another one from already installed rom?
Have you flashed the ROM I provided, and then used the boot.img that came with it? I'm pretty sure that should work fine.

It´s not my ROM
It could be an error with your device, it´s unresponsive, you have to check the installation of the drivers, the LibUSB drivers, the installation of the tool.
You just have to search for "custom preloader for Realme 7" or something similar, also you can search for DA auth file for mt67.. don´t remember the exact number, check the processor
No, has nothing to do with, it depends exclusively on the status of your device.
Apart of all that I said, check this -

I didn´t say, you try to flash, with or without preloader, I mentioned a permissive preloader, this may come from a special build, with any release, some preloader files allow the user, to unbrick a device, while other not, try with some preloader/s file/s from different build, but using the specific you want.1

After a very tiring process of swapping between ROMs and changing regions, APKs, et cetera, we have finally been able to perfect the method for unlocking the bootloader of the RMX2155! This is a detailed guide aimed to give you an easy time!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, BRICKED PHONES, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS. IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILES NEEDED:
So that you don't need to go through the irritating process of downloading everything, extracting the OFP, and going to sketchy places to try and find a stock ROM, you can now download everything from either one of the links below:
7.26 GB folder on MEGA
mega.nz
RMX2155UBL.zip | by OrthodoxOxygen for Realme 7
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes...www.androidfilehost.com
Both links contain the same content: everything needed for this guide. It'll save you a lot of time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEDURE:
1. Download the .zip file from either of the links above, and then extract the files from inside.
2. Navigate to the "MTK Drivers" folder, extract the files, and then install them. For ".inf" files: You must right-click, and then select "Install" from the drop-down menu. You may have to disable a Windows setting for this to work, however, as they are unsigned drivers. You can learn how to do this here: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
3. Install Python if you haven't already. MAKE SURE TO ADD TO PATH.
4. Hold "shift" on your keyboard, and right-click on the Windows home-key. Click "Command Prompt (Admin)".
5. Type in the command "pip install pyusb pyserial json5", and then close your command prompt once it is done installing.
6. Extract the "Bypass Tools.zip" into a folder, and then navigate to the "Driver" folder within. Right-click on the file named "cdc-adm.inf" file, and select "Install". Wait for it to finish - though, it shouldn't take any longer than a second.
7. Install libUSB, and then open it. Power your phone off, and keep it that way. LibUSB should be called "Filter Wizard" in your start-menu. Right-click on it, and run it as an administrator. Have your RMX2155 and a trusty MTP cable on-hand. Click on "Install a device filter", then connect your Realme 7 with both volume-buttons pressed. Select and install the device that appears. It should have something like "MTK" in its name. Do this quickly, as it usually disappears after a few seconds. Once that is done: Unplug your phone.
8. Head to the folder with the bypass tools inside, and open "brom.bat". Connect your device with both volume buttons pressed. It should say something along the lines of: "Protection disabled" if it is successful. Disconnect your phone again.
9. Open the flash-tool folder, and launch the application inside. It is named: "flash_tool.exe". Select the scatter file inside the "OFP Contents" folder within the ROM folder, and un-check the following boxes: "Opposerver 2", "Special preload", "My custom", and "Cdt engineering".
10. Make sure that the box above where it lists all those files says: "Download only". This is very important. After you've verified that those boxes are without check-marks, and that the method is "Download only": Press the "Download" button at the top, connect your phone, and then press the volume-buttons. Once your phone is done flashing and a green check-mark is displayed: It will then boot. If it doesn't boot automatically, wait a few more seconds, and then hold the power key until it turns on. Give it some time.
11. Once it starts, and after you've gone through the main set-up process, you'll need to change your region to "Vietnam". This is a very important step to get your bootloader unlocked. For the sake of making this short: Follow the link. It will take you to a guide that should work for all OPPO devices. Please, read it carefully. From top to bottom. https://xdaforums.com/t/changing-a-...dated-instructions-now-working-again.4143415/
12. Move the Deep Test .APK file to your phone. Install it, and then open it. Submit your application, and wait. After: Just follow the directions given, and use ADB to unlock that bootloader. Use the following video to help you out if you don't already know how to unlock your bootloader with ADB! It also shows you how to flash a recovery, which will be useful if you wanna do that sorta stuff.
13. Success!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you find that your phone won't connect through fastboot or SP Flash Tools after you've finished unlocking your bootloader, uninstall the LibUSB filter for your device (not the program), and then reinstall it.
For those of you wondering, YES, your phone can be flashed with GSIs, as it is a treble phone. However, you should download the "Treble Check" app off of the Playstore, as it supplies you with important information relating to which ROMs you can use with your device. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE CORRECT GSI FILE TO YOUR PHONE, YOU MAY HARD-BRICK IT. Take a look at the guide below. Happy flashing!

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO:
@albatron34000
@SwizzRM7
Working with you has been great!2Many, many thanks for this part!
“I had issue with ‘fastboot flashing unlock’. on option press volume up to unlock it did nothing, after 5 minutes i pressed volume down, yet when i rebooted it was unlocked. just sharing this for everyone here”
The same happened to me and I was already going nuts! This really helped! Thank you!
Also, many, many thanks to OrthodoxOxygen for this guide!
May I suggest that you update your guide by adding at the very end something like: “If, after executing ‘fastboot flashing unlock’, pressing Vol Up does not work, press Vol Down and the phone should be unlocked.”2
Yes it sure does!
I'm currently using the Pixel plus rom
Most (if not all) RMX2151 roms will work2
Yes you can. I was also on the same version! Good luck! Your phone will be downgraded to a asian realmeUI 1.0, then your sales region will be changed to a country in Asia (it needs to be the one in the guide) and then you just download an app so you can enter fastboot and then unlock the bootloader.
Everything worked without issues for me. If your phone doesn't show up in fastboot, manually go to device manager and install the android ADB driver (I can help you if you need).2
