The device itself should reboot into fastboot mode.

Click on "Android", then "driver", then "update driver". Next, " Find drivers on this PC (search and install the driver manually)".
Next, "Select a driver from the list of available ones", then "Show all devices" (this item may remain), then "install from disk", search for our adb drivers folder, click on " android_winusb. inf "
and select"Android Bootloader Interface" from the list. Done.

Next, run BL UNLOCK.bat from the folder "Unlock Bootloader", Read the instructions in the bat file, press any key. We look at the phone. Confirm Unlcok.
After that, we run FASTBOOT REBOOT.bat
This restart will delete all user data.

What happens if it disconnect during flashing? Can I retry? Or maybe service center can fix it? Or changing motherboard will be only option?

16) Unplag USB cable. Dont turn ON phone! Go Fastboot mode ( Hold VOL- and Power button)
17) Launching RECOVERY.bat in the "Unlock Bootloader"folder.

I have tendency to mistakenly reboot the phone instead while holding vol- and power, if it happenes, what if it reboot instead of fastboot?

In realme Realme ui 3.0, it reboots into recovery when hold vol- and power button. Should I downgrade to ui 2.0 first using official downgrade package?

    Update:
    Im able to change my GT Neo ROM to Indian Variant. Thank you so much sir!

    Experience:
    Instruction #13-#15 are quite tricky.

    Issues Encountered:
    - my windows pc cannot detect the mediatek com port
    - proper timing of clicking DOWNLOAD on SP Flash Tool


    How i manage to proceed on SP FT Download:
    - first turn off phone (assuming below instructions are DONE -> How i fixed (to detect):)
    - SP Flash Tool needed Configs are Done (just waiting for the Downlolad to be clicked)
    - MTK Bypass (Administration) is waiting for device
    - after SUCCESS MESSAGE on MTK Bypass, immediately click on Download (SP FT)
    - once download is started, you can unhold VOL - & + wait to be finished

    How i fixed (to detect):
    -
    downloaded this mediatek vcom drivers -> https://www.thecustomdroid.com/mediatek-preloader-usb-vcom-drivers/
    - there are some popup that appear (i forgot to remember), i just clicked yes
    - then restart pc
    - turn off device
    - open LIBUSB Filter device (Goal is to detect "Mediatek xxxxx yyyyy zzzzz" usb device on the list)
    - Hold VOL - & VOL + AND PLUG Type C Cable
    - Check the LIBUSB Filter list and once you see any "MEDIATEK ZZZZZ XXX" click and install
    - once success, you can go to -> How i manage to proceed on SP FT Download:



    Hope that helps! Thank you .

    Hi please can you provide files for Realme GT Neo Flash Edition (FE) as it has the latest firmware A.11. You provided files for only GT Neo and X7 Max. Find attached a screenshot showing the current GT Neo Flash Edition Firmware. Thank you
    You can use firmware for Gt Neo or X7 Max (better) for FE ver. phone

    Thanks a lot. Finally flashed my Realme GT neo FE(CN Variant) to Realme X7 Max and BL locked again for OTA update(It works!). even mine is FE... everything works fine, just except call recording on google dialer.

    Can anyone tell me that firmware of GT neo A27 in that link is global or Chinese? and the call recording on dialer works? actually the google dialer in this X7 Max firmware has no call recording.
