Hey xda community, i have a question for developers, we can expect soon custom roms or kernels for Realme GT 5G ?
No kernel sources
It seems nope.

And it's actually quite pitty: it's quite an amazing phone for the price (after Poco F3)
I have emailed realme for open sourcing the kernel for realme gt 5G, from my understanding the kernel is not the limitation when working on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) / Custom ROMs

Yes, do let us know. Is realme usually open source with the kernel? Is rom development good with other realme devices?
Unfortunately no reply from realme for the kernel code. I dont have my hands on the device yet but dont think it will take a long time for a custom ROM

That's for sure they release source codes almost 8 months or longer after the device is out. I think I'll have to pass on this device. It's unfortunate because it would have been nice.

What's probably more important is that theres a safe way for us to unlock the bootloader, we can get custom twrp and rom on this without issues, I can develop this but don't plan to maintain this, so hoping there are some maintainers in this device forum. Custom kernel wont bring a large change compared to custom ROM.

Bootloader can be unlocked for china and india version, i think global is not currently supported but I am looking into this
We should create a realme gt 5g telegram group for better / quicker communication.
Looks like they might release the kernel source soon

As far as i have learnt, for custom ROMs, we would need an ability to unlock the bootloader along with kernel sources. And it is possible to unlock the bootloader for Chinese veriant only. Not sure about Global, but Indian veriant can't be unlocked. So as pf now, custom ROM scenario looks a bit bleak

Okay! That gives it a higher chance of porting ROMs and kernels.

OH developers please port a rom to oppo a57
its an awsome device its got 3gb ram snapdragon 435 and 720 p display please guys port it colour os sucks help needed
OP, I know you posted this in the find5 thread as you wanted them to port the rom from this phone but since it's for the a57 I assume this technically isn't the right place to do it, anyhow:
From what I can tell Oppo has restricted access to the bootloader on these phones and we still don't have a working root method. Until either one of these circumstances changes it is unlikely that any development can begin for these phones.
If any senior devs out there have skills in reverse engineering, I would be more than happy to donate to the cause or maybe even flash your betas because at this stage what I have is a well spec'd phone that's as useful as a brick thanks to Oppo's abhorrent ColorOS. I just want root or an unlocked bootloader.
I'm offering $25aus as a starting point and I'm sure others would get on board with me since we all spent the equivalent of $300aus for a P.O.S phone.
Oppo a57 working root

Can confirm rooting method works but it seems like it corrupts your NV partition. Make sure you've taken a backup of yours before proceeding. Check back as we nut out a solution.
I currently have my phone rooted and TWRP installed but the bootloader still needs to be unlocked or a tool similar to magictricks.zip needs to be made to enable/install fastboot binaries on this device.
Anyone here familiar with doing this?
I can provide you with backups of the file system.
Let's get these phones free, next stop roms.
Phone you are using?sir

From what I've read, there isn't a high likelihood of us getting fastboot. The main reason bootloader unlocking was possible with previous models was due to Oppo's release of 'project spectrum' firmware.
Our best approach is to make our voices heard on the Oppo forums and/or learn about reverse engineering bootloaders to create a solution.
I'm grateful that we have root (at a cost of signal), it's an excellent starting point at least. Have patience.
Hi it's been a few years since I posted on xda I flirted with a blackberry then iOS and have now returned to android
I have the above phone and already want to root and flash a custom rom so does anyone know of a one click root app and does cyanogenmod still do roms?

Post your cust/build found in Settings - About
8.0.0.xxx (Cxxx)
Huawei stopped giving unlock codes for unlocking. Anyway there is no point of unlocking bootloader, because there is no custom roms
To unlock bootloader just use:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
DC Unlock app or HCU.
You need 4 credits, in my case I was on android 8 update already and it worked flawlessly!
I did it, because of root. Adaway/Magisk/Titanium Backup.

Klem.. You are wrong. There are a few roms available for the phone which, of course, require an unlocked bootloader. So. IF you have an unlock code, there are roms for international versions: US devices are limited at the moment. IF you don't have a code, then you are unable to flash anything.

Nonsense! I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed one of the openkirin rims, Resurrection Remix! It all depends on your model and whether dc unlocker works.

4$ it's not a big cost to try at least. Probably refund is possible as well using dc-unlocker forum. I have seen some people there which got a successfully refund.

Just keep in mind, If you will have some problems with Magisk. After flashing the Magisk in TWRP you are getting a bootloop, here is a solution:

Second, open Kirin has your back.

Hello Devolpers.
what do we need to get in progress for a homecooked ROM? the request could be like a clean ROM Pie 9 with the Camera app. is that not enough?
Kernel request, here am I not sure? A secure kernel.
Should we just pay for the Bootunlock and take it from there?
How do we move on? Is it possible?

It's not like Xiaomi. Hard to recover if bricked. Also no benefit of unlocked bootloader no custom roms

so if i understand correctly, the reason there is no C-roms bc of the risk?
is bricking a high probability or regular, but just very hard to fix once it happens?
Not because of the risk. Because no karnel source is released. Once there's a Karnel source, Devs might work on it and make everything safer.

oppo tends to not open karnel source easily
Kernel source now available here: https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realmeGT_AndroidR-kernel-source
Development may start soon if there are enough attention.
I'd like to see a Havoc ROM.
Since you can simply unlock the booloader, why can't you just install a GSI? Did anyone try?
Here is some information for the GT Master.

Only the Indonesian roms have the miui dialer with the call recorder and for this phone there is none.
Try Xiaomi Eu rom more options and MIUI dialer
Stable or Weekly

Whether it's for another stock or custom rom, the bootloader must be unlocked.

Process is the same for all Xiaomi phones - Xiaomi provides itself the instructions, the tool and they unlock Xiaomi phones themselves

Of course. No problem with. I did wait with my two phones, too. And exactly 7 days (7x24=168), in a minute (I tried unsuccessfully few minutes before passing the 168 hours and then unlocked successfully a minute or two upon passing 168 hours)
And if you google, you can find pretty reasonable explanation for that policy - they want to make it harder for resellers to buy the phones (for cheaper prices) in China, unlock BL, flash Global or EEA ROM and sell abroad (for the higher price)

I don't understand the language in video. Anyway, locked Bootloader prevents flashing
And don't believe to whatever YT (better read the stuff on XDA), otherwise you may sooner or later brick your phone and then, paying for the authorized EDL help will be costly
There are many people on XDA who followed one way or another some YT 'guides' (maybe the authors not providing full instructions or users not paying attention and not making their own research to read and learn before flashing something, or both), resulting by bricking their phones.
But they learnt the lesson for 30-50 Euros
Thanks
