Realme 8
Hi, I was trying to downgrade my realme 8 from Android 12 to 11, and I saw this realme community post (https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1509097324549316608) and then I proceeded to downgrading. What I didn't realize was this this the rollback package for Indian version, while I am from Philippines. You said in this forum that you got firmware from realmefirware.com, and so I saw there the regional Philippines variant of realme 8 software, so when I extract the .ofp from there, will it work on SP Flash Tool? And also, when bypassing, will it unlock the bootloader? Thank you in advance for responding.

How about bootloader maybe not.
For .ofp files, need convert to SP Flash tool support. Easily just download a.24 from top of thread and flash device.

Yes, that's true, but I've already done the brom mode and installation.I thought it would stay permanently. Do I have to do it over and over every time I install? When I needed to remove the error, I booted into edl mode and ran the python command mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc. I was hoping that would work as well. Won't it work?
Then I found three ways to return to the repository here:

"There are three ways to return to the repository:
1. Using RFT (Realme Flashtool)

2. Using TWRP (use the latest version from the recovery section).
*Wipe>Data format> enter yes> format.
*Reboot>reboot into recovery
*Install> select .ozip> swipe to flash
*Reboot
Don't select disable-vbmeta or avb_patcher or something similar.
Recommended-

3. Use stock recovery.
From the system: - To flash using stock recovery, download and paste the .ozip file into the root directory of the repository and click on it in the realme file manager. This will start the flash in stock recovery.
From recovery: - Download and paste the .ozip file into the root directory of the repository and reboot into recovery.
Your language> Install from repository> enter password (only if you have one)> Phone/SD card and then select .ozip.
Any custom recovery.img/boot.img files should now be replaced with the stock ones.
After successfully flashing and booting the device into the stock rom, reboot the device into the boot loader."

Does any of this help me lock the bootloader?

We don't have ozip files for our device

if anyone needed, I successfully locked the bootloader back. this worked for me:
python mtk e metadata, userdata, md_udc
python mtk da seccfg lock
python mtk reset
subsequently booting into stock recovery and format from there. this clears the "dm-verify corrupted ..." phone startup message

I did not quite understand, after this instruction, I will have a rooted Realmi, or is it only Unbricked, otherwise I have problems with root, and the device is unlocked

Hello everyone! So after the new MediaTek DAA and SLA protection bypasses you can find GitHub repo of here , using the bypass we are able to use SPFlash Tool, here is a guide how you can do it! This guide is for RMX3085 (Realme 8) ONLY. DON'T DO ANY OF THESE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE!

ALWAYS USE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE OF SP FLASH TOOL.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING RELATED TO FORMAT ON SP FLASH TOOL! (IT'S WRITTEN EVERYWHERE, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IMEIS IF YOU USE FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD. YOU ARE SAFE IF YOU USE DOWNLOAD ONLY.)

Requirements:
  • PC or Laptop
  • Internet connection
  • Realme 8
  • USB cable
Windows Method
Requirements:
Bypass Tools Pack - (DRIVER AND BYPASS FILES)
SP Flash Tool

Decrypted OFP (OPPO FIRMWARE PACKAGE) :
Indian
A.22 (Indian) - GDrive
A.24 (Indian) - GDrive
A.26 (Indian) - Gdrive
C.05 (Indian) - GDrive
Global
A.22 (Global) - GDrive
A.24 (Global) - GDrive
A.26 (Global) - GDrive
Install Python from Windows Store
libusb-win32 - Having Issues? Use this.
Get usbdk installer (.msi) from here and install it

Steps:

1) Extract the zip
2) Go to driver folder, find the .inf file right click and press install.

3) Download this file and install it, after installing power off phone and connect to pc while holding Vol+- (don't leave the buttons after connecting) . You might need this driver as well if it's not detected.

4) Press next, connect your device to PC while holding Vol+- buttons (your device needs to be powered off, and don't leave the buttons) and you will see the mtkdriver down below. Install it.

5) Choose MediaTek USB Port and install it.

10) After that choose scatter file and also if not set, set your download-agent. You don't need to select auth file as authorization is disabled. Once you do it, it should look like this. ALWAYS MAKE SURE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE IS SELECTED! DON'T SELECT OTHER MODES!
View attachment 5515217
  • Select all the Partitions except opporeserve2 and cdt_engineering. otherwise you will get errors.
*11) If you want to flash super.img partition also then download this scatter.txt file and replace it with the another scatter file which is present in the decrypted firmware folder. After that select it again in sp flash tool.

Again Make SURE "Download Only" is selected. Don't select ANYTHING ELSE! You will lose your IMEIs, Serial Numbers, Capability of Hardware Attestation etc. if you choose "Format data + Download" make SURE you selected "Download Only".

Now, you can start downloading with the button and after that a checkmark will appear. You can reboot your phone and use it like before now! All your userdata will (inevitably) be cleared!

After flashing it should look like this. Download has been complete. Enjoy!

    if "Brick" occured in rooting process - then can recovery be done without data loss :

    Prerequisite: firmware version on the body must the same as downloaded "Decrypted OFP" (as example both is A.22 )

    HowTo:
    at step of SPFlashing (currently that is 10-th)
    - check ONLY next partitions in SPFlash to restore :
    PRELOADER RECOVERY VBMETA LK LK2 BOOT
    ... and NO any of other
    (as thats only are touched by currently described rooting processes)

    Does the phone warranty will be void once the brom.bat ends its work?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    The warranty will be valid.
    If you want to return the phone to the service, lock the bootloader and say that it is after the update.
    They will load original system and after problem data will be lost

    Some people having this problem so I want to add one more thing to the guide. If you are not having any issues related to boot then don't follow these steps.

    After waiting more then 10 minutes, if it doesn't boot up/bootloop. Or shows DM-Verity corrupt error then do this.

    1) Try boot into stock recovery by pressing volume up + power button after that when your screen flashes quickly unpress buttons.

    2) Now press volume down + power button, by pressing these you will boot into stock recovery.

    3) Go to format option and do a full format.

    4) Your phone will definitely boot up after that.
