How To Guide Realme GT 5G (Global) - How to update now, via OTA, to UI 3.0 (Android 12)

[johnnyjoe]

Hi!

I live in Portugal and I've been waiting, for a while now, to get the UI 3.0 (Android 12) update on my Realme GT 5G.

I've tried to change the region to Germany. Nothing happened. But then, with the region set to Germany, I've tried a VPN connected to Germany and I've got the update notification.

I've followed the instructions, updated the phone and it's working great. After that, changed the region back to Portugal and that's it. I finally got the UI 3.0 update. : )

The version is C.05 ?

Thank you, it works! I did the same. After changing the region itself, it did not find an update, but after an additional connection via VPN, it did.

Version RMX2202_11_C.05

The version is C.05 ?

Yes. Version is: RMX2202_11_C.05

I have already received update in India. May be you can try switching your VPN base location to India

@babykiller79, install a VPN app from playstore, a free one (search for it, I don't have any sugestions, I used a paid one), run it choosing the country you want to connect from and try to update the phone.

Thank you, it works with region germany

I can confirm that a free vpn set to germany is all you need, do mind you that download speed on a free vpn will be LONG, but I gotta admit the upgrade from Android 11 to 12 must have been the smoothest upgrade I had so far...

Only connect VPN to "trigger" update, before you start downloading update - disconnect vpn and you will have full speed next time

Yes, but I don't know why I can't use it with Vodafone in Italy...with my old OnePlus 7 it was working.

VPN Germany, albo z pliku

 

[cattani43]

Wam wszystkim działa, a tak naprawdę nikt nie zrobił zdjęcia z aktualizacji ani nie nakręcił filmiku. To wszystko jeden wielki "bałach" czyli oszustwo.

Hi do you know how to force update to get C.15 version ? I did an update with VPN solution and it worked but what I see is that screenshare option is missing from this version. How can I update from C.05 to C.15 , please help. VPN method doesn't show any update...

 

[johnnyjoe]

Hi @Gornik92! Didn't know about the C.15 version. I connected my VPN app (VPN Unlimited, I have a license) to Germany, searched for updates and the update showed up. I didn't even change the region on the phone - in my case it's Portugal. It's downloading it. Hope everything goes smooth and that the update does improve my phone.
