I pulled this from PhantomPhreak53's readme when you download the files from his LGNPST zip.
Pretty much, when you get to step 6 and your being asked to start CMD as admin, just move your mouse over to the right hand corner to search, click on search and then type in CMD. When you type in CMD, Command Prompt will show up, right click and run as admin. After you do that, Regsvr will work. Continue following those steps and you should get in.
If you have any further issues, like when you open up LGNPST and nothing shows up. Make sure your phone is in download mode and if it is, go to TOOL and then Load Serial Ports.
You shouldn't have any issues from there on out. If you do, I invite you to come join us in the LG Optimus G channel.
To do that, Simply...
1. CLICK HERE
2. Pick a nickname suitable to you.
3. Make this your channel #lg-optimus-g
4. Fill out the capcha and your in.
Look forward to seeing everyone!

When it's in download mode, you get a small box 1" tall and 1.5" wide that says "Download Mode Do not Disconnect until restore is done" (or something to that effect), in red and black lettering.

UPDATED. This will put you to STOCK 2.2! Using ODIN thanks to eugene373.
If you want stock and are able to get in to recovery and want a flashable rom. click here
This started as a thread asking for help, with the little help I got... and a little searching NOW this thread is to help other people who are having the same problem
ALSO its to show that a little searching on this forum, you will pry find the answers you are looking for.
EVERYTHING in here I found in the Bible, that is located in the development section.
This guide is for non hardware locked vibrants... if you are hardware locked check out this threadhere
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here
(remember this is for unofficial 2.2 if you want Official 2.1 files click here )
s15274n (thread here) has everything you will need in his [Tips & Tricks] thread AND MORE!
so make sure to check that out and read the "EASY WAY TO GET THE JI6 UPDATE" before you go any further with my thread.
Georgegreco86(thread here) made this awesome image (below) and it works perfectly....
HOWEVER some times there are some complications that happen that i cover below.
TO GET IN TO DOWNLOAD MODE
I have found the EASIEST WAY to do this is:
1.pull the battery out of the phone.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put the battery back in the phone
4.hold in the volume up and down
5.plug usb in to phone
it should bring you to the download mode in seconds.
now you should unplug the usb From the phone..
make sure the battery stays in, and open odin.
now follow the instructions below.
1. Open Odin3_v1.0
2. Load .512 into the PIT placeholder
(In this case s1_odin_20100512)
3. Load *FILE.tar* into PDA placeholder
(In this case Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5)
4. Make sure COM port has a number in it
This means your phone is connected, if your phone is not connected make sure you have the correct drivers)
5. Press Start!
6. If you it all works your done... if not keep reading!

IF YOU RUN IN TO PROBLEMS!
If your phone is not connecting to odin.It might be because you need the correct drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman they are located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929.
I was able to just let the computer search for them and with a few clicks, had the drivers installed.
To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
2. Select "Locate and install driver software."
3. Click "Next." Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
Freezing on "cache.rfs"
searching on google i found a website called fractionalphones.com, the post was about this and it said what i had to do was reboot my computer and hit F8 (just keep touching it) and when it gets to the "safemode screen" arrow down to "Disable Digital Signature Verification"
Also a problem Some people had was the usb port used...
So if it does not work try a new port!
Use oclf. Remove the lag fix first, then ant other optimizations you may have clicked, then ext 2 and finally root. I had to do this to send back my phone. Now the ext2 takes awhile so be patient.

It wont let me remove the lag fix, v2 says i dont have the lag fix installed
and v1 says "you only have 346MB free on RFS, but 364MB used on EXT2. You must free up some space"
and then it tells me i dont have enough to install either v1 or v2 of the lag fix
BUT my quadrant is 2000+ so i know its installed.
i saw the other tread about this but it didnt really tell me much.

LOL, One of the reasons I suggested Odin. It'll "just work" even if you have the lagfix (at least it did for me). Make sure you backup everything on the SD card that you want & tell it to repartition. If all goes well, everything down to the internal SD card has been put back to stock.
I know when I did the lagfix, I had a PC app that just ran ADB commands in a batch file (basically). After a week or so it got unbearably slow and even the remove lag fix that came with it wouldn't work, so I used Odin to go back to stock.
--------
But, I think what it's complaining about is you need to free up ~20MB of space in order to remove the lag fix. Since it needs to move the files that it put on the ext2 partition back to the RFS partition, it needs at least that much space before it can move the files & then delete the ext2 partition.
bumping because I figured out what I was doing and I think this can help a lot of other people.
I'm trying to do the "Odin back to stock" process but I'm having a little trouble. I've got all the files and opened Odin etc. I entered the .pit file and the .tar file. Auto-reboot and f. reset time are checked. I click start and I get "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
What am I doing wrong?

Odin isn't recognizing your phone. You should double check that the drivers are properly installed. Then, make sure Odin is on and click Reset if need be. Put phone into Download Mode and then plug it into computer.. A yellow box should appear at top of Odin, which let's you know you're successfully connected.
Hope that helps!

This tutorial is for the LG L5 II (E455/E460) and shall work on other LG phones too.
Many thanks to @iulykenoby who discovered this method.
To start, download a KDZ firmware for your LG E460 (and other phones) from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php
Be sure to match the phone with the right kdz!!!
1. Download LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP (attached)
2. Download USB Driver http://algmcdn.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
If you can't boot anymore, enter into download/emergency mode and skip to step 5.
3. Put your phone in debugging mode (menu-Settings-Developer options-USB debugging).
4. Change your usb connection type to LG Software (menu-Settings-USB connection type)
5. Connect your phone to the PC and install USB Driver. After the installation disconnect and connect your phone again (to make sure it is detected).
6. Extract LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP
7. Run B2CAppSetup.exe and let it install and update itself. You may be prompted to update your drivers.
8. If you've done everything correctly, you should see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9. Close the official LG Mobile Support Tool.
10. Open Notepad in Administrator mode. (Go to windows menu, type notepad and right-click and run in Administrator mode)
11. Open the hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc)
12. Add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com at the end of the host file.
13. Save the file. If the "Save as" dialog opens, it means you're not running notepad in administrator mode and you can't modify the hosts file.
14. Go to windows menu, type cmd and right-click and run in Administrator mode.
15. Drag Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs over command prompt and hit enter.
16. Click OK
17. Click on windows enable icon in system tray to turn ON then click the dialog box OK.
18. Click Ok.
19. Make sure Type is set to 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG. Select your KDZ file and click Normal web upgrade test.
20. Click on Upgrade Start.
21. Click on Clear phone Software update Registry and then click OK.
22. Software Update Procedure will start immediately. It will take some time to finish.
After the flashing procedure, don't forget to delete that line you added in hosts or else you won't be able to officialy update (online) your phone and you won't be able to download anything from lg. Also, a factory reset may be needed after flashing to avoid conflicts with the old app data.

Try booting again in upload mode. If I remember right it's: phone off and both volume keys pressed then introduce the usb cable. if you manage to boot in download mode, you can try to flash again. you surely didn't select the right kdz for your phone. be sure of your phone model and search for the right kdz for your phone. If you can boot in download mode nothing is lost, you can fix it.

For root, the attached file should work (change it's extension from .zip to .exe). Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337802
it will root with a chineese tool, but there you'll also find instructions to change it to supersu/superuser.

you can flash any firmware from any country as long as it is for your phone model. i recommend you flash a firmware that's not branded (for ex branded by orange) so you won't have extra software that will slow down your phone. on that website you will find firmwares for many phones. our phone (e460) received an update, that's why they are called "a" "b" "c".

I suggest you change your antivrus. On virustotal.com out of 43 antivirus apps only 1 found it as malware.

I and others used vroot and had no problem with viruses or such. Stop spreading false information.

Mircea,
I dont use or trust online scanners I prefer to use IDA and other tools to examine software. If you examine the software more closely you will find that it sends your PC information back to the author. It will also do an update check and install of the latest version automatically. It will also install an apk for a chinese file sharing site and multiple other files that he leaves in the phones system. I also rooted a test phone and it did root perfectly. I was not trying to scare people just give a little warning to be cautious when you install a program that has a primary interface language is not yours. I had no ill intentions just trying to make people aware of what I had found.

Yes, it installs a chineese apk because that's the root application (just like superuser). After installing supersu and deleting the chineese apk I scanned my phone with bitdefender and avg and found no malware.
You also can disable your internet before installing vroot on your computer, root your phone then uninstall it. Then you can scan your computer with any antivrus and antispyware software you want and you won't find a trace of Vroot. Before saying it's full of malware, you should prove it. I just proved with 43 antiviruses that it has no malware and all you're saying is you don't trust them. I also offered a solution to avoid sending information about your computer, IF that was the case. Also, using a sandbox just like you said is also ok.

View attachment 2870130
When FlashTool shows Ready, disconnect the phone for ~5 secs. Upon reconnecting the phone, FlashTool will automatically run. This will take a few moments, so go get a cup of coffee. When the phone shows a blue screen with a bid red 3, you're good to go. Disconnect the phone and pull the battery briefly. Restart the phone and redo the setup. Shutdown Flashtool to prevent any accidents when rerooting.

There are several other guides that cover this process in various forums. This is written from my experience after soft bricking with a build prop edit without knowing how to get back to stock first. I hope this guide makes it easier for folks in the same Big Red boat.

I installed the driver on my work computer which is Windows XP and this is what I get in the device manager, it doesn't recognize it although I am connected to the computer in download mode. I have the Verizon LG G3 so I even tried to install the dedicated Verizon drivers that I found in this thread and still no go. Please help on finding drivers for windows XP.

LG G3 flies faster than a G6
OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4
I am an experienced Android hacker, and still got a bit lost with the tutorial. While I appreciate the excellent work here, you might consider editing/adding the information to help clarify the following:
1. The TOT file at http://www.mediafire.com/download/6i..._Stock_TOT.zip, https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7379qhBA5bnVWQwLU9GNkk3ZGs&usp=sharing, and http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/d123f6f2cfa13038 are all identical - and we only need one or the other. Please identify the other TOT links as mirrors to the same file, so people aren't downloading all of them unnecessarily (especially as they each are so very large).
2. There is already a MegaLock.dll file installed in the LGFlashTool folder once the application is installed. When you say add .dll files to the LGFlashTool folder, please clarify if MegaLock.dll needs to be overwritten by the other file with the same name (found in Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.zip), or otherwise. It might also help to clarify specifically which dll files are moving to the LGFlashTool folder, and from where. I ended up overwriting the default MegaLock.dll with the one you provided before I started the process...
3. Ports won't often show in Device Manager unless you go to View and then Show Hidden Devices in the Device Manager application.
4. After clicking the yellow arrow, unplugging and plugging the phone back in did nothing to start the process. Nor did plugging it back in while holding volume up (like in your 2nd step). I had to unplug, power the phone on, and then when the red Verizon screen appeared I plugged back in. This triggered the start of the Flash process. An easy way to tell you're in the right spot during the process: the red Verizon screen will disappear and a Firmware Updating screen will pop up to show you progress on the phone. When done, the phone will power cycle automatically...then, after a few other brief items, the red "3" on the blue screen will appear.
WARNING: Don't forget to close the LGFlashTool on your PC when you're done. Because...if you have anything else to do during the same session (such as rooting the phone), when you power cycle the phone while it's still plugged into your PC, LGFlashTool will take over and proceed to flash your phone again!!
Thanks again for your hard work. The tutorial was indeed helpful.

>>>FIXED, SEE BELOW
I'm trying this and I am stuck. Got all files downloaded, installed lg tool and got to the point of restarting the phone into download mode. No problem there. Issue is I can't find the COM ports in the device manager. Running Windows 8.1 pro, don't see a section for the COM ports. I do see CDC EM, CDC Serial and LGE Android Phone, but when I right click, there is no PORT option to change....
I know I am getting close if I can just figure how to change the port on the device manager.
Any help?
update>>>when i double click the lge android phone in dev mgr, it says drivers are not installed. I have installed drivers. I also tried removing drivers and rebooting then reinstalling drivers, same thing. It shows up but looks like it can't find the right drivers.
>>>>FIXED. Removed lg flash tool. Removed drivers. rebooted. reinstalled everything. plugged in the usb and phone showed up this time, was able to change to com41 and it worked. Not sure what happened but it worked flawless this time...
THANK YOU!!!

Quick question, apologies if it's idiotic -- basically I (stupidly, it turns out) tried to change my VZW boot animation. No dice. But now I can't get the old one back to working again, which is buggin me out.
QUESTION: Would reflashing to stock in the manner described in this thread completely restore the phone, including that boot animation? I'm just crazy enough about this to actually do it, if it'd work.
Thanks A TON for any info.

I would think. I'm new to the g3, but I think this is a tool to restore to stock out of the box. Relating to an Odin restore with Samsung. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It would work. You might want to look around for the boot ani first though.

Hello Everyone,
I pray all had a wonderful weekend. I am a frequent visitor to this site and love all the advice and work many of you do. Thanks for all the support this far!
I searched through the forum to see if I could find some similar issues but was unsuccessful at finding it. I currently have the LG V10 (LG-H901) by T-Mobile running 5.1.1. I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader via fastboot. I came across the issue when I tried to install TWRP-2.8.7.1-h901.img. It would go through fine on CMD but just would not go through on the phone. The fastboot menu would boot up strangely (After unlocking the bootloader) with the text all pixelated in a way. You are unable to read the words. The phone works fine. It happened to me on two phones so it must be something that I am doing incorrectly but just can't find it on Google or this forum. I apologize if I messed and and hate to start a new thread if its here but no such luck finding it. Anyone experience this before or might have some advice? Thanks!

If it happened on two phones. Then it's likely a step you are overlooking. The biggest thing you need to consider when working on a new device is making sure you have ALL prerequisites before flashing, fastbooting, adb, etc.
- Make sure you have LG usb drivers installed, then reboot your PC.
- Install ADB system-wide
- Turn on OEM unlock in your Dev-settings
- Make sure USB debugging in ticked AND you allow always for the connected PC.
Then start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
Read Read Read Read and Read.
I will give this another try when I get home from work. I am pretty sure I did all that was said but like you stated seems I missed a step somewhere. By going through the steps here over again, even though I went through I might have gone through them already, would that cause any damage? If not I will just go through step one all over again. I did not get the instructions from here so I want to start from the very beginning with the link you posted. Thanks!

Thanks! I've made sure that's been on from the get go. Forgot I had class today so I am waiting to fly outa here to try this out. I will be sure to update this thread with my results. Any other advice is in the mean while is always welcome.
I first checked if all things above were checked off in the Dev options. They both were the Enable OEM unlock and USB Debugging. I then went in and tried the one click. It booted into fastboot fine but when it gets to the point where its suppose install TWRP the phone itself does nothing. CMD executes fine. The phone just stays where the screen tells you some of the fastboot instructions. From some other sites and videos online it suppose to install TWRP and you can boot right into it.
When you restart the phone you get the message that the bootloader is unlocked on the top left corner. I can't get to the recovery to see if it was even installed. Doesn't seem like it was.
This last step is killing me as I know once I get through this I am rooted. I can try doing it step by step again but feel like I will get the same results. Worth a shot anyways.
When I do "adb reboot recovery" I get a dead android with a red exclamation mark.

Wht Rom Are U Using
WELCOME, ALL.
After a very tiring process of swapping between ROMs and changing regions, APKs, et cetera, we have finally been able to perfect the method for unlocking the bootloader of the RMX2155! This is a detailed guide aimed to give you an easy time!----------------------------------------------------------------------------I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, BRICKED PHONES, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS. IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILES NEEDED:
So that you don't need to go through the irritating process of downloading everything, extracting the OFP, and going to sketchy places to try and find a stock ROM, you can now download everything from either one of the links below:
7.26 GB folder on MEGA
mega.nz
RMX2155UBL.zip | by OrthodoxOxygen for Realme 7
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
www.androidfilehost.com
Both links contain the same content: everything needed for this guide. It'll save you a lot of time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEDURE:
1. Download the .zip file from either of the links above, and then extract the files from inside.
2. Navigate to the "MTK Drivers" folder, extract the files, and then install them. For ".inf" files: You must right-click, and then select "Install" from the drop-down menu. You may have to disable a Windows setting for this to work, however, as they are unsigned drivers. You can learn how to do this here: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
3. Install Python if you haven't already. MAKE SURE TO ADD TO PATH.
4. Hold "shift" on your keyboard, and right-click on the Windows home-key. Click "Command Prompt (Admin)".
5. Type in the command "pip install pyusb pyserial json5", and then close your command prompt once it is done installing.
6. Extract the "Bypass Tools.zip" into a folder, and then navigate to the "Driver" folder within. Right-click on the file named "cdc-adm.inf" file, and select "Install". Wait for it to finish - though, it shouldn't take any longer than a second.
7. Install libUSB, and then open it. Power your phone off, and keep it that way. LibUSB should be called "Filter Wizard" in your start-menu. Right-click on it, and run it as an administrator. Have your RMX2155 and a trusty MTP cable on-hand. Click on "Install a device filter", then connect your Realme 7 with both volume-buttons pressed. Select and install the device that appears. It should have something like "MTK" in its name. Do this quickly, as it usually disappears after a few seconds. Once that is done: Unplug your phone.
8. Head to the folder with the bypass tools inside, and open "brom.bat". Connect your device with both volume buttons pressed. It should say something along the lines of: "Protection disabled" if it is successful. Disconnect your phone again.
9. Open the flash-tool folder, and launch the application inside. It is named: "flash_tool.exe". Select the scatter file inside the "OFP Contents" folder within the ROM folder, and un-check the following boxes: "Opposerver 2", "Special preload", "My custom", and "Cdt engineering".
10. Make sure that the box above where it lists all those files says: "Download only". This is very important. After you've verified that those boxes are without check-marks, and that the method is "Download only": Press the "Download" button at the top, connect your phone, and then press the volume-buttons. Once your phone is done flashing and a green check-mark is displayed: It will then boot. If it doesn't boot automatically, wait a few more seconds, and then hold the power key until it turns on. Give it some time.
11. Once it starts, and after you've gone through the main set-up process, you'll need to change your region to "Vietnam". This is a very important step to get your bootloader unlocked. For the sake of making this short: Follow the link. It will take you to a guide that should work for all OPPO devices. Please, read it carefully. From top to bottom. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...dated-instructions-now-working-again.4143415/
12. Move the Deep Test .APK file to your phone. Install it, and then open it. Submit your application, and wait. After: Just follow the directions given, and use ADB to unlock that bootloader. Use the following video to help you out if you don't already know how to unlock your bootloader with ADB! It also shows you how to flash a recovery, which will be useful if you wanna do that sorta stuff.
13. Success!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you find that your phone won't connect through fastboot or SP Flash Tools after you've finished unlocking your bootloader, uninstall the LibUSB filter for your device (not the program), and then reinstall it.
For those of you wondering, YES, your phone can be flashed with GSIs, as it is a treble phone. However, you should download the "Treble Check" app off of the Playstore, as it supplies you with important information relating to which ROMs you can use with your device. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE CORRECT GSI FILE TO YOUR PHONE, YOU MAY HARD-BRICK IT. Take a look at the guide below. Happy flashing!

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO:
@albatron34000
@SwizzRM7
Working with you has been great!
All has been confirmed to work. Your bootloader is now unlockable. Have fun!
Hello
Thanks for the info
Someone already tried it, did it work?

Yes. According to the person who sent me these instructions: It does unlock the bootloader, which allows you to flash Magisk, TWRP, and ROMs. I haven't tried it myself, and this method has only recently become public due to my post - meaning that we need to wait for a brave soul to risk their Realme 7 for further development. Let's hope somebody tries this out soon. I'd be absolutely ecstatic if we could get one or two more people to confirm that it works.
Got it, thanks again to you and "Albatron34000" for the method
Hope there will be brave souls to test this method
It's just ridiculous that version 2155 still won't let you unlock the bootloader
All that remains is to wait...

Make sure you give full credit to Albatron34000. All I did was write the guide. But: Yeah. It seems we'll just have to wait for now. If we can get confirmation from one or two people that it really does work: I'll remove a good amount of the warnings, and make the final version of this guide.
So, does this method work?
Has anyone tried it yet?

No, this is the OTA file. You need the full stock ROM, which is around 8 GB. Give me some more time, and I will bundle all these files together for an easier process. Also: The guide is not 100% complete. I'd say it's about 90% done. By the end of today or tomorrow, the guide should be fully done.

No problem! Make sure to thank @albatron34000 , too.
The guide should now be complete, and is awaiting testing. All I ask for now (although it may be a bit pushy) is that somebody tries this method - understanding that they may brick their phone in the process. Any volunteers will be very greatly appreciated.
I have no problem trying but, does anyone have a guide to unbrick the RMX2155? (Just in case)

Should be the same way you flashed it, but just with RMX2155 firmware. Only problem is finding it. I remember someone sent me a link for it. I'll send it to you in a second. Just let me find it.

It's a sketchy site, but these are usually the only places you'll find firmware files for these kinds of phones, unfortunately. https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=70767

THIS GUIDE NOW NEEDS TO BE TESTED BY A READER.
Yes, you read that title right. This method unlocks the bootloader of the RMX2155 (Global Version) of the Realme 7.
I cannot say with certainty that this works because I haven't tried it for myself, but - according to @albatron34000 - it allowed them to successfully use the apk method of unlocking the bootloader, and subsequently root the RMX2155 (Although, it reportedly does not pass the safety-net check). The instructions are below.
I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, BRICKED PHONES, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS. IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
FILES NEEDED:
So that you don't need to go through the irritating process of downloading everything, extracting the OFP, and going to sketchy places to try and find a stock ROM, you can now download everything right here:
File folder on MEGA
mega.nz
Contains everything needed for this guide. It'll save you a lot of time.
PROCEDURE:
1. Download the all the files above from the MEGA link.
2. Install Python if you haven't already. MAKE SURE TO ADD TO PATH.
3. Hold "shift" on your keyboard, and right-click on the Windows home-key. Click "Command Prompt (Admin)".
4. Type in the command "pip install pyusb pyserial json5", and then close your command prompt once it is done installing.
5. Extract the "Bypass Tools.zip" into a folder, and then navigate to the "Driver" folder within. Right-click on the file named "cdc-adm.inf" file, and select "Install". Wait for it to finish - though, it shouldn't take any longer than a second.
6. Install libUSB, and then open it. It should be called "Filter Wizard" in your start-menu. Have your RMX2155 and a trusty MTP cable on-hand. Click on "Install a device filter", then connect your Realme 7 with both volume-buttons pressed. Select and install the device that appears. Once that is done: Unplug your phone.
7. Head to the folder with the bypass tools inside, and open "brom.bat". Connect your device with both volume buttons pressed. It should say something along the lines of: "Protection disabled" if it is successful.
8. Open the flash-tool folder, and launch the application inside. It is named: "flash_tool.exe". Select the scatter file inside the "OFP Contents" folder within the ROM folder, and un-check the following boxes: "Opposerver 2", "Special preload", "My custom", and "Cdt engineering".
9. Make sure that the box above where it lists all those files says: "Download only". This is very important. After you've verified that those boxes are un-ticked, and that the method is "Download only": Press the "Download" button at the top, and connect your phone using the volume-buttons. Once your phone is done flashing and a green check-mark is displayed: It will then boot. Give it some time. Once it starts, select "Vietnam" as your region.
10. Finally: Enable MTP to your phone through developer options, and move the Deep Test .apk file to your phone. Install it, and then open it. Submit your application, and wait. After: Just follow the directions given, and use ADB to unlock that bootloader.
11. Success!

Hey. Thanks a lot for testing this! Can you try and change your region to "India", please?

Okay sure, i will try that.
Edit: Sadly that didn't work either. Same results.
Thank you anyways for taking the time of making this guide, if there's any other solutions i could try, please let me know.

Hold on. Watching someone else unlock the Indian variant. It seems they are using the a.43 stock ROM. I'm going to upload a deep-test apk that should be compatible. If that doesn't work: We'll have to try a different ROM. The one I had you flash was a.87 - which might have fixed the vulnerability, if that's how people are getting around to unlocking their bootloaders. I'll reply to you again once I upload it.
EDIT: Nevermind. I can just attach it here!
EDIT #2: AH. Did you turn on "OEM Unlocking" in the developer options?
