Question Unlocked Bootloader?

[LeDiable]

This device finally seems like a worthy buy if one wants to go into the Samsung ridden 4nm fabrication 8 gen 1 CPU. Best temperatures and lowest throttling of all phones with that chip.

One can only hope if Realme releases it with an unlocked bootloader right at launch for it to get a proper aftermarket dev support.

Well, I am planning to consider a Realme smartphone, GT2 Pro is looking really a great phone, but unlocking bootloader and rooting is mandatory to me and i really don't know what to do.....
I guess on realme phones is not easy like xiaomi / google devices doing that. At last unlocking the bootloader could be easy but how is difficult to find official ROM updates in order to patch the boot image to install magisk?

Honestly after years with OnePlus I needed a change of pace, and this Realme catched my interest, same doubt of others, I'm using Magisk and root privilegies for small thing that probably won't hurt my experience, but I'd like to have the possibility to unlock the bootloader and install/modify things in order to get a better experience.
Let's cross fingers and hope for some developments, probably I'm going to buy it at or close to launch for the early bid discount.

Global Realme are nearly impossible to be unlocked, that is why i asked.....
This promising to be a very good phone, but xiaomi is always the 1st choice for people who need the phone to be unlocked......

It should be possible to convert the Chinese version which I have to the Global one. It's been possible on previous GT series.

But you need to unlock the bootloader.....

I hope it only take a while to be unlocked.... I've bought the chinese version. Ok it work fine, only some features here and there that give me some trouble, like not work "ok google" but instead there is this Breeno app that I absolute hate and other minor annoying things. For the rest its a very premium phone.

I hope someone with the EU/Global version will tell us something soon.

 

[Blard23xx]

For mnow I have debloated all chinese apk and unuseful apps from ADB command (can't with Breeno main app, the search bar, market and whatsoever all gone), work fine, but the Google services doesn't work at their best. Wait for EU/global indication (if possible)

Dunno how the situation is in other country, but here in Italy Realme made some really bad moves.
The 100€ discount for the early bids became a 50€ discount for the 8/128 and a pair of buds for 12/256 (official site), on amazon IT the discount is right but it's available at the end of march.
So... I thing I'll keep my OnePlus 7T and wait

Well... I'm from Italy too....
Interested in the 12/256 version.
Used for a while the EU version of this phone thanks to a reviewer who gave me it for a day.
All I can say, it's a good phone with some bugs. Pictures are really great.
The problem is unlocking bootloader and installing magisk is mandatory to me and I already know that with Realme it's not easy as Xiaomi or Oneplus..... (Updates etc etc...).
So... let's see what will happen..... (including wating for the Xiaomi 12 Ultra too...)

I'm really planning to get this phone. Hopefully we'll see bootloader unlocking and custom ROM development on it.

 

[jackowy]

So how do we know if it’s unlockable?

I have the global GT 2 Pro, in the DEV OPs „Unlock OEM“ is available

You can try to enable developer option, then enable OEM Unlock and USB debugging.
Then you can try to search and download the app Depth Testing 1.1.0 and try to apply.
If that app works, you can reboot to bootloader and type

fastboot flashing unlock

Note that your phone will be wiped and all will be erased.....

That is the main problem of Realme phones, unlocking bootloader must be approved......

I've tried it but no luck...

 

[ivomavrud]

Same here. Looks they locked the app out.

 

[tahmidshafi]

Can we able to unlock the bootloader in the future? Or realme won't give us the permission?
