"...I tried to unlock my bootloader and when I was running the necessary commands like fastboot reboot, it simply showed, “Waiting for device…..”

"...adb fastboot (Something like that which took it to the fastboot mode)
Next Command:
fastboot devices
Returned: _________ fastboot
Satisfied that I was going on well, I unlocked the bootloader using the respective commands."

"...Ultra problem phase:
I got to the fastboot mode using the same commands in the adb terminal and decided to lock the bootloader. I thought that the app had detected that my bootloader was locked so that may be the reason it was not working. I gave the command:.."

"...Then I though maybe I could just download the original boot and recovery file again then it would be all fine. I have those files and everything, when now I try to give those commands, they just show "Waiting for device...." Moreover the computer doesn't detect my device.

"..Also, I think I'll have to install via SD card as it seems that's the only option left now."
Well, in any on your posts you are confirming that, it looks like you are not finding the right way to enter to fastboot mode, maybe the time you unlocked bootloader you sent it through commands?.
In some post you´re saying that PC doesn´t detect it but you´re not saying nothing like device is not entering to fastboot otherwise how can PC detect it?
Or how can you expect that PC detects it if it didn´t enter to fastboot mode?
And again the other way asking how are you sure that device entered to fastboot mode so you expect that PC detects it?
Are you trying to enter to fastboot mode manually through hardware buttons?
Is not there in recovery menu an option to go to fastboot (also called bootloader) mode as on others stock recoveries from other devices?
In the official site there is only available a firmware for the CPH1861 to install it through recovery
https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update you should further investigate which are the main differences between the CPH1859 and the CPH1861, if the main difference is the region from which was released then you could use it and if your recovery accept the update.
