Hi, I'm having a problem with my phone (C21Y RMX-3263) being stuck in bootlop after accidentally updating magisk via direct install option (has been rooted once already with patched boot img and spd tools). I figured I should just flash the old firmware but neither SPD research and upgrade tools work properly, for about 10-30 seconds all is going well, but then it just gets stuck on downloading, on different parts like super, or boot randomly alternating between attempts. I've left it on for about 4 hours and tried multiple times with no progress at all. There is nothing visible on the screen but holding the vol down button and plugging the cable in seems to initiate fastboot. I've tried using different versions of the tools and different firmwares for my model but nothing seems to work. The bootloop itself is very weird - the phone buzzes and the splash logo appears, afterwards starting to glitch out extremely eerily, the colors start to become weird, white lines dance on the display and after that it turns blank and flashes gray for a few seconds before turning off, looping and doing it all again. Pretty sure this isn't a hardware issue as the phone was working fine before. Assistance would be much appreciated

Hello everyone, I know that many on this forum have many desires for this phone, such custom kernel, root, gsi, twrp.

Let's get started:
How to install root access on RMX3261/3262/3263


1. Download stock ROM version 97: Download and extract .pac file from it Link
2. Install SPD research tool and it's drivers: GDrive
3. Open it
4. Click on single gear icon
5. Select stock rom's .pac file
6. Wait until it loads
7. Click on two gears icon
8. Find BOOT in list
9. Right click on path near it
10. Download from here Boot and Select
11. Click OK then click arrow icon
12. Turn off your phone
13. Hold Power + VolumeDown until you see "Downloading" text
14. After you see it, release buttons
15. Wait until you see "Passed" text
16. Click stop icon, disconnect your phone and power it on


How to install custom ROM || GSI
As everyone knows, unlocking bootloader on this device is impossible. But you can modify the BOOT partition to make 3261/3263/3263 boot GSIs

So what you need to do:
Firstly, you need to unlock fastbootd:
1. Download stock ROM version 91: Download and extract .pac file from it Link
2. Install SPD research tool and it's drivers: GDrive
3. Open it
4. Click on single gear icon
5. Select stock rom's .pac file
6. Wait until it loads
7. Click on two gears icon
8. Find BOOT in list
9. Right click on path near it
10. Download from here and Select boot_r1.img
11. Click OK then click arrow icon
12. Turn off your phone
13. Hold Power + VolumeDown until you see "Downloading" text
14. After you see it, release buttons
15. Wait until you see "Passed" text
16. Click stop icon, disconnect your phone and power it on

Now you have unlocked fastbootd so you can flash ROMs:
1. Install ADB fastboot drivers from here: GDrive
2. Download your GSI and extract it to .img file
3. Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to pc
4. Open adb platform tools
5. type adb reboot fastboot and hit enter
6. Wait until phone reboots into fastbootd mode
7. Type fastboot flash system "path to GSI" and hit enter.
8. If you get error "Not enough space to resize partition" type fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a and hit enter
9. When it finished Type fastboot erase userdata and hit enter
10. When it finished Type fastboot reboot and hit enter
11. Enjoy using a custom ROM :)

How to unbrick if ROM doesn't boot:
perform same steps like when you unlock fastbootd

Bugs in GSI
A12/A13
1. Overlay(Brightness fix): install this magisk module GDrive
2. Bluetooth audio can interrupt when wifi is turned on
3. Use Footej Camera if no sound in video recording

A13 only
Videocodec fix
Replacing the stock codec On a Vulcan GDrive - this is a magisk module
This is a module magisk made by me and my colleagues in 4pda

For all questions, write to the topic.
The download link "Videocodec fix for A13" is broken, can you update them again?
