RealmeGT 5G Root problem ! - Realme GT

Hi there,
Having an issue rooting this phone.
rmx2202_11_A.25
At the moment ive got to a point where ive got it setup with adb and i put in " adb reboot fastboot ". I then boot into the fast boot ( ive seen in places people suggesting putting in " adb reboot bootloader " however in that mode my pc cant see my phone as a fastboot or adb device so ive given up on that atm )
Everythign seems good im in a mode called fastbootd and the phone is listed as a Fastboot device. However when i type in " fastboot flasthing unlocked ( also tried fastboot flashing unlocked critical ( with and without _ between words ) also tried a few other i get the error:
"FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
Cant get any further than this. I did wonder if this command is actually wrong and there is a hidden command for this function
ive done adb help which shows this command and a list of other commands however not many of them seem to work for some reason.
additional info
. usb debugging is enabled and the oem unlock setting is on.
. i've installed android studio and im using the adp tools from that.
. ive installed the google usb drivers from the android studios.
. ive also installed specific usb drivers for my phone ( or so i think )
. ive installed the testing app which i used get into the bootloader originally
Ive already tried
. Many but not all the app based ways of rooting. Unfortunately every one i have tried so far ..... the phone has stopped me installing it due to it being a rooting app. I tried installaing an app to clone the app which ive seen online however this didnt seem to wor
. Ive tried kingo root on the Pc but it gets stuck on the part where it says to enable usb debugging.
Any help would be amazing !
Thank you

i had lots of issues trying to do this.
are you
A) in fastbootd - you need to use the deeptest.apk to install twrp
B) did you open up powershell, I was trying to use cmd as that's what i had used before, but wouldn't do it until it was done through powershell.

Hi Unparalleled82,
So i think i was actually using "adb reboot bootloader " instead of the app at times so ive just tried it using the app however it still doesnt come up as a fastboot device. When i put in the command " fastboot flashing unlocked " i just get " waiting for any device " for ever.
Few things im wondering do you have exacly the same phone as me RealmeGT 5G rmx2202_11_A.25. Its good to know you have done it and the way you did it. Because mines not working the same way ( assuming the models are the same ) im thinking now its a driver issue perhaps .
So when im just doing adb sideload or something when the phone is booted into the OS i dont have the yellow triangles however in this fastboot mode i see this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which does indicated a driver issue however when i try to manually install the correct drivers windows tells me its already has the best driver. ( im browsing to the folder where ive downloaded the drivers here )
Ive tried installing them through the legacy hardware option which does install them but phone still doesnt show up in fastboot devices.
Ive also installed the driver using android studios ... you can see google usb drivers ticked.
Ive also googled how to stop windows from automatically installing drivers from windows update then uninstalled my device .. plugged it back in ... then installed them. However thinking now perhaps i should uninstall ... then install the drivers before plugging in the phone ? any ideas ?
Some more info this has reminded me of. Ive tried a different usb cable, a different usb port ( both usb 2.0 ) and a different computer already.
As for the powershell I'm certain i'm using it not the cmd line. I'm holding shift in the correct folder then right click, then open the power shell window.
Any more help would be amazing. Im going to have a look more into fastboot driver problems

I know you said you'd changed your cables, but that's another one of the issues i faced.
The phone would show just like yours, but wouldn't show in fastboot. I changed for a different one and then it actually worked. You won't get anywhere until within powershell it shows under the command
adb devices

Ill try another cable now for sure see what happens. About the powershell im confused what you mean sorry. Im definitely in the power shell.... the phone lists as an adb device ... when its not in fastboot mode that is ... its just it wont list as a fastboot device in fastboot mode.

Ahh got you now. So ive tried the cable sent with the phone and now 2 other cables and all of them have the same issue so im thinking its not the cable atm.
Ive seen on youtube a method for rooting it from anotehr phone.... i have no idea if it works but ive bought a usb c too usb c cable to give it a try at least !
Thinking now i may buy another usb A too usb C cable of good quality too make absolute sure its not the cable messing it up.
