I just wanted to ask if there is any development effort going to bring TWRP and AOSP Custom ROMs to this device.
Under the hood, this device is very powerful. And well built. After using it for a few days, I feel like the just software experience is holding it back.
If there is, I'd like to join and help as much as I can.

Tbh, the stock rom (global) is sufficient, and with root you can modify it however you like...
Custom development may start after Realme stops supporting the phone with OTA updates, which isn't anytime soon since GT 2 Pro is their flagship...
There is also Android 13 coming out...
And until there is an open-source bypass of MSM tool to recover bricks without paying $$, I think that not many people will waste time and money to build custom ROM and then maintain it to integrate Realme OTA's.

What about Xiaomi? They also have auth for EDL flash. But if you see the forum for xiaomi devices. It got lots of Custom ROM.
There's no need for a free MSM. To install any custom ROM you would have to unlock the bootloader first, and with an unlocked bootloader you can recovery every brick, unless you destroy the bootloader itself.

Yeah tell me about it.....I still feel violated for having a random stranger connect to my computer just to type a damn password, and paid for it....never had this issue with xiaomi, mi flash tool works great.....we need to pressure realme to stop this insanity.....there is no reason for having MSM locked.

I also agree with this. And the unlock process itself is crappy. We need to install a dedicated app to be able to boot into fastboot mode! Why? Why not just allow bootloader to be unlocked like OnePlus devices, both phones are from the same parent.

Starts at $100. BOUNTY requires successful flash of Global firmware.
Pretty sure there is no 5G 7t pro global phone?
A bounty for the T-Mobile MSM is more important. We need that before we start messing around with the global firmware files for the non-5G variants.

Yes, 7Pro 5G EU (only sold via EE in UK and Elisa in Finland), most likely because it wasn't sold a lot and that no one either required the tool or leaked it.
In for $100 USD. Without a way to restore the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G, I don't expect many developers to pick up the device. My $100 will be paid out to either a way to restore the STOCK T-Mobile firmware, OR a global image. As long as it is done via the MSM download tool.
Apparently, there are Windows tools to decrypt an .ops file, but I haven't seen any via brief Google search to encrypt/create; maybe there's something on XDA related to creation. T-Mobile and/or OnePlus should release a restore to stock T-Mobile MSM image on XDA for the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren. It seems like it could only benefit both companies to release it here. Not on their website because it's not for your average user, but on XDA only makes life easier for everyone.

I know you've asked OnePlus already, but maybe you'd have more luck asking T-Mobile because OnePlus is probably seeing it as the ball is more in T-Mobile's court, so-to-speak?
T-Mobile would only have OTAs at best on their servers.
Does anyone have even the fastboot rom for this phone?
I have very bad news for you T-Mobile customers that have a OnePlus Device.. and yes I am one too..
OnePlus Rather youbuy direct from them, then from Carrier, OnePlus has Crippled the carrier edition of all their OnePlus Devices starting with the 7 Series.....
They have a MSMDownload Tool, that is now coded to each and every device it has.. meaning, if you have a T-mo edition, you will not be able to use the
msmdownload tool that has global edition, and you cant bypass that with a hex edit of the ops file anymore..
and you cant edit the msmdownload tool, because its VMP Protected, meaning unless you can unpack that VMP and restore all the imports
you will not be able to hex edit that..........
the newer MSMDownload tools check project code, which is located in a few places on your device.. but the place it checks against is
in eprom, No way to get around that.. and fastbootD which is the current way to convert. Will no longer be available to use anymore soon as well
,as OP has patched that too....... also, News is that Qualcomm is now implanting a new security method that will write protect your device.. and the only
way to bypass that is with a susyq cable and or taking apart your device and turning a switch. then flashing a developers edition OS.. So good luck with that too..
that prob wont be out for another 5 years total.... but soon all android devices will be Fully locked Down do to that.............................. This is already been implanted into chromebooks (newer)..
also, if you happen to get the ops file. well thats encrypted as well.. and because of the vmp protected msmdownload tool, the old public way to get your hands
on the loader from the ops file is no longer possible............
pretty much the only way to convert to global is by extracting OPS, then flashing partitions manually using loader......
But there is a catch there too, Oneplus is the only idiot to protect its FireHose Loader, you can read but you cant write with it.. So no matter if you had their loader extracted. you will still run into the next issue
of flashing each partition because it will fail.. Why will it fail, because OP write Protected it, you need a Demecia token and then you need another Project token... so in all you need
about 520 chars total of tokens.. good luck on that too................ Just to flash a partition to the device...........
some might ask how do I know all this, Lets just just say, I know people..............
But remember, OP has managed to encrypt everything to try and keep you carrier peepz from converting to global............
I personally think OnePlus is a jacka** company that will sell the global and carrier edition of their device for the same crazy price, but well know that the carrier editions are crippled
and nowhere near the global standard way........ Its unfair that OP took the time to lock us carrier peepz from converting.. just because they want us to buy direct and not from carrier.............
This 7 Pro that I have.. will most likely be the last OnePlus device I buy. and I know about 20 other people that refuse to buy another OnePlus device on the account they are locking people
out from a so called Developer friendly device.. OnePlus lies............................................ I have 200% Proof on everything I have said above.. if you need me to do a screen record to prove it further I will.
as for ways around said issues above, It can be done.. but the way it can be done is not public use.. and I have no permission or right to release said way............
I dont care how much money is offered, Its not in my place to release such info... But again, I dont even care about Oneplus devices anymore.. OP has shown their true colors now..
and again, Most likely will never buy another OnePlus Device again.........................
OnePlus, I know you read this, Hope you prove that you can be just as fair to carrier editions as you are with global editions.. cause I have a feeling all carrier editions will soon fail you..
because nobody is going to pay that kinda money for a crippled device that they cant convert.. you can pay nearly the same amount for the pixel 4 XL, and its not crippled in any way..
its pure vanilla Android OS....................... Guess you can figure out where I might go next........................... (waiting for Pixel 5) ...................
Please Dont message me with crazy questions and so on.. I will ignore all.. I barely use XDA.. someone posted this in my channel and I just wanted to check it out.................
only true way to reach me is on Telegram.. same nick as here...................
Good luck all...
That's a nice write-up but one question: How did the regular T-Mobile OnePlus 7T conversion work? Was that the v4 tool? Did the v5 tool stop this?
These measures are absolutely devastating to anyone who wants to test open betas and developer previews. What's the point of an unlocked bootloader for the McLaren 5G if you can do next to nothing with it and there's no rescue method.
With a Pixel, you just need to convince T-Mobile to sim unlock and then you're set for years.
For what it's worth, OnePlus got back to my support ticket and confirmed 2 things for me:
1. An unlocked bootloader OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G will still get OTAs on an unlocked bootloader, but they come from OnePlus
2. If you unlock your bootloader and brick your device, I was informed they can do a "remote session" to restore the software. If that's the case, someone may want to take this approach with a keylogger so we can get the support ZIP.
I know there are at least few with bricked devices that should take advantage of this and be the hero.

I just attempted to get onto a chat and request a repair for my bricked device. The OnePlus guy told me they did not have a MSM tool for the TMobile version, unless they were lying. It was worth a shot.

hello,
since the Honor 9 isnt getting any security fixes anymore what can we do
about the BlueFrag security hole?

It seems right now the only chance would be phussons android 10 GSI

since there are no Custom Android 9 or 10 ROMS with latest Google Security Fixes - correct?
If someone figures out how to bypass the bootloader that huawei put, then we can start doing this roms thing, until then, unfortunate people like me are stuck at a locked bootloader.
Well i can technically do the whole process of flashing my board again using dc unlocker and then unlocking my bootloader while I'm at it, but that's too much hassle, man, plus you need some money to spare. It's not worth it anymore unless you absolutely have to, I'm just happy with a working phone lol

Nope, u have to pay for it, and yeah, i'm waiting for them to find an exploit on the security that huawei put in their gpu turbo update, bec. that's the root of our problem, i heard that if you downgrade to a non-turbo firmware, it's gonna brick your device, so might as well be patient until the guys at dc phoenix figures out how to read bootloader codes on emui9.
Also I saw that openkirin has hw buttons fixed, i think it's the capacitive buttons fix that people often lose bec. of installing twrp, so i'm excited for that day that we can install openkirin roms

Hello ,
I Root some of my Xiaomi more or less knowing the procedures.
I may purchase REALME 7 Pro & if the very first step unlock bootloader using Indepth test apk., can use on this model ? not necessary a must match version of Indepth text apk ?
also, is Readme OS accept Magisk root by patching the boot.img without using TWRP ?
( similar procedures as ROOTING on Xiaomi devices ...taking out boot.img from formware ....using Magisk to patch image...... flash it back & forth between devices & computer...without using TWRP. )
Thank you very much.

Hey I wouldn't suggest rooting or unlocking bootloader even if it is simple as ABC because this device is going to get updates for sure so it wouldn't be wise yet.

You get the point !!
Unfortunately , I M-U-S-T root this as I'm required to use TASKER heavily due to my work ( and my own interest in tasker )
On Xiaomi devices they are an easy life since I've been following every firmware updates , then I download separately this firmware on my desktop, root this back by MAGISK_PATCH_BOOT.img ( sort of like you know what I mean )
There is no need no hassle to make Xiaomi root again after the firmware updates. Most importantly Xiaomi not require to re-install all apps by using above methods after firmware updates.
I hope this realme 7 pro using the same procedures. ( I just have made the purchase from India to DHL me at USD375.00 )
Thanks!

If you are really impatient you can try to gain temporary root and extract the boot.img using any app or ADB commands even magisk root via ADB is possible afaik I myself am waiting for the kernel and bootloader unlock but I feel this phone was launched in an early state to compete against Xiaomi phones in the same price range. Now unfortunately for us consumers this means till Android 11 update kernel sources might not be public but most probably after that it might be possible and if you use root for YouTube vanced and stuff I think there is a non root method but it's very irritating.

I use TASKER and you now know which is why I need to damn deeptest.apk
temporary root is somewhat a good idea however is not fit in my case since my realme 7 pro bought over e-bay India so that anything brick I seems have big trouble sending back & forth for repair.
It is still good hints about temporary root as I never heard of ................
Hope I'm not soon to say goodbye & sell it due to long time waiting and without root. ., it happened on me once on the Vivo 19 that I sold it when I confirm it definately not root-friendly.

Any update on unlocking bootloader ?
I have already unlocked the bootloader. But we will have to wait till kernel source code is released for custom recovery and rooting.
Hi,
Just for say, to be flash your phone carefully ! I flash today a rom (test) and phone go to BL ( Poco logo) and after try to enter fastboot/recovery, phone wont boot ( Black Screen) without any reason
Now it goes back to the shop for repair ( edl certainly )
So be careful for now
For a phone with level3 api for cameras and a (supposedly) released kernel source at launch they really seem not to be wanting us to modify the phone.

You have no idea what are you talking about, so.....read before being rude with people who wanna get some help or warn us to not do what they did. No disabling AVB is necessary when TWRP for Poco X3 is used for flashing stock or custom ROMs. Format data is needed in some scenarios. The only thing you NEVER wanna do is downgrading to an earlier Android version ROM (from Android 10 to 9, 11 to 10 and so on). So, chill out and keep reading

Is there a post that states what you must not do, or must do when flashing ? Would appreciate it - previous phone was Redmi Note 3 and I could flash whatever i wanted willy nilly. Would not like to brick my new phone.
For example: ROMs for the Poco X3 mosly have the 12.0.2 firmware requirement, but i updated it to 12.0.3 already. Would i brick my phone if i flashed the custom rom anyway, or if i flashed the older 12.0.2 over 12.0.3 ?

Downgrading brick: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
Seems it's safe to use MiFlash because it will not let you downgrade, but when you use TWRP it helps to read this article.
In other cases, just read carefully and follow step by step the instructions offered by the developers for their ROMs.
I'm not an expert, btw. I just read a lot lol
MOD EDIT: QUOTE REMOVED
"flashing anything in an unlocked bootloader, requires from user to disable AVB (or flash a null vbmeta.img) before you boot any flashed rom ... otherwise = brick !" - WRONG in the case of Poco X3!!! The downgrading part was like a general warning, not for Poco X3 specific (even it's true for Android 11 to 10 downgrade). Seems you can read, but to understand what you read is a problem you have. I can't help you with that, sorry

The reasons Xiaomi phones get bricked when rolling back to an earlier version is because of the "Rollback Protection". Xiaomi implemented this, not to prevent modding, but to prevent resellers from flashing global versions of ROMs (which include google apps) to newely released Chinese models not available outside China. They bought phones in bulk, flashed global ROMs and sold phones as if they were running official software. So never downgrade to ROMs based on older firmware sources than the one you have on your phone!
I think poco x3 has NOT ARB.
correct me if am i wrong please
When does root and trwp work on gt2pro?
Unlock bootloader is not a problem anymore....
So where are the roms, root guides etc??
Why? Why don't you make at least one of what you ask ?
I can't. I'm not a developer...
But since all works now, I wonder why nobody release linageos etc etc ....
I've rooted gt2 pro. It's not a big deal. What's the problem?

Where should I start..
- Because Kernel was only released open-source recently, and still there are a lot of grey areas.
- Realme has not released a free flashing tool to fix hard-bricks. The current MSM tool not only requires you to pay someone every time you use it, but also does not have a proper documentation.
- In addition, the MSM tool does funny things sometimes as some users reported, like screwing up persist partition or the lock/unlock BL mechanism, and nobody knows why.
- There are concerns regarding security since the use of fingerprints is becoming popular and apps like banking keep improving root detection mechanisms. Many people prefer to keep their phone with locked bootloader non-root for security reasons.
- The official stream of OS updates for GT2 Pro will be maintained for approx. next 2 years, and Realme seems to be putting effort to make improvements.
- Most of the custom ROM patches/fixes/improvements can be applied manually.
My guess is that once Realme shifts their support to other phones, there will be a need to maintain the OS by the community.
Thx for the answer
I hope there will be any chance to become some stuff next week's/month bc i need a new phone and i don't want a x50pro...
