[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader, install TWRP & install custom rom (Mokee) for Meizu Note9 - Android General

[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader, install TWRP & install custom rom (Mokee) for Meizu Note9
Your warranty will be void.
I am not responsible for any damage on your device.
In this guide I want to show you step-by-step how to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and a custom rom (in this case Mokee) on your Meizu Note9.
I tried it with global version but it should walk with chinese version too.
This guide is based on the YouTube video from 老婆没米了 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPESF2A9_ek&t=369s) and the github from sukana (https://github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device)
Some background:
Normally to unlock the bootloader you have to enter developer options and activate USB Debugging and OEM unlock (since Android 5.0). Meizu hides the second option from their settings. To activate it we have to change this value inside the firmware. The frp section contains this value so we need to change it in there. To do this we use the Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL). QFIL is an application that helps to flash stock firmware. We will use it to flash our modified rom with OEM unlock activated. Note that you have to deactivate wifi and unplug ethernet cable while use QFIL to prevent issues with the Qualcomm driver.
After we unlocked our bootloader we can install custom recovery like TWRP. With this tool we can easily install custom software to our phone like custom roms or root the device. We install the recovery by booting our phone to bootloader and flash the TWRP image. This will be done by the adb and fastboot platform tools.
Prerequirements:
Required Hardware:
Meizu Note9
PC/Notebook running Windows
Cable to connect phone to PC/Notebook via USB
Required Software:

Optionally: .zip-files for other custom apps
OpenGApps: https://opengapps.org/
Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
Prepare your PC/Notebook:
0. Download and install the required software
Unlock Bootloader:
Enable Developer options
Go to "Settings" -> "About Phone"
Tab on Build number several times until it says that you are developer
Enable USB-Debugging in Developer options
Go to "Settings" -> "Accessibility" -> "Developer options"
Switch on USB debugging
If you see something like "OEM unlock" in Developer options enable it and go to step 18 of this guide otherwise continue with step 4.
Power off your phone
On your PC/Notebook turn off wifi and unplug the ethernet cable to prevent problems with the qualcomm driver
Start QFIL (installed with QPST)
Press the Volume up and Volume down buttons on phone (NOT the power button) and connect it with your PC/Notebook, hold the buttons until QFIL shows something like "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" on the top of the app
In QFIL go to "Configuration" -> "FireHorse Configuration" and set the configuration like shown in this image and click "OK":
{
"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"
}
Now choose on "Flat Build" and set the "Programmer Path" to "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" of your downloaded firmware
Click on "Load XML ..." and choose the "rawprogram_unsparse.xml" of your downloaded firmware and select patch0.xml in the next window
Go to "Tools" -> "Partition Manager" and agree by clicking "OK"
In the next window search for the label "frp" and rightclick on it
Choose "Manage Partition Data" and click on "Read Data..."
Now open your windows filemanager and go to "%appdata%\Qualcomm\QFIL" and open the folder with the name samething like "COMPORT_3"
Copy the .bin-file and rename it to "frp.bin"
Open "frp.bin" with a HeX-Editor and change the last position of "0007FFF0" from 00 to 01 like this:
Alternatively you can upload "frp.bin" to https://frp.xingrz.me/, follow the instructions on the website and download the resulting "frp-unlocked.bin"
Go back to the open QFIL window and click "Load Image ..." and choose the above edited file
Close the open QFIL windows
Restart your phone into bootloader by pressing Volume down and power button (this may take some seconds)
Start the windows command line tool (cmd) and navigate to your adb and fastboot directory
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot devices
if you see some output of numbers and characters you can go on, otherwise there is something wrong with the installed device driver.
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
On your phone choose "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER" by navigation with Valume down and enter with power button
Now your bootloader is unlocked and you can install a custom recovery, install custom rom or something else.
Install TWRP:
Boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing Volume down and Power button
On WIndows start "cmd" in adb folder
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery $PATH_TO_TWRP
there $PATH_TO_TWRP is the path to the TWRP image file
On the phone choose "Recovery mode" by navigation with the Volume buttons and enter with Power button
The phone reboots automatic three times and you will see TWRP (chinese and english language support)
Now you have installed TWRP custom recovery on your Meizu Note9. Install custom rom and other things are quite easy until now.
Install Custom Rom (Mokee):
Boot into recovery mode and wipe all data
Download the .zip-file for the custom rom (on PC/Notebook)
Optionally: Download OpenGApps, Magisk and other custom apps
Copy all files on the phone via USB connection
In TWRP go to "install" and choose the custom rom .zip-file (for Mokee: first the RADIO...zip and then MK...zip) and confirm installation
Redo this step for every .zip-file with additional apps (like OpenGApps or Magisk)
Restart your phone
Congratulation! You have successfully installed a custom rom on your Meizu Note9.

Thanks for the entry.
Call recording available?

nice I have an error now:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH"

Please help me. My Meizu Note 9 is in an infinite loop, but I can put it in Fastboot and Recovery. Is it possible to do this process that you reported here and be successful, since I can't activate USB debugging or check the bootloader option, since I don't have access to the screen? I will be very grateful if you can help me.

Your Device Is Corrupt. It Can't Be Trusted And Will Not Boot...Please Help​Hi,
I Wanted to Install A Custom ROM Into My Meizu note9 So I Flashed It Via TWRP Recovery
Message: "Your Device Is Corrupt. It Can't Be Trusted And Will Not Boot".
Then I Got Very Scared And Unlocked The Bootloader Again + Wiped Everything (Including System)
Now I only have the bootloader and nothing else. I start recovery and I get this message again.
+If I block the bootloader, I just start a cyclic boot
Please, help me...

Delet the Unroot Section because it doesent work for now.
update Magisk Manager App to 5.4.3.
Update Guide.
Update patched_boot.img.
RoCuNo+ v0.2
complete rework.
all should now work.
now the original verified-boot.img from Cubot is implemented. so root and unroot works now.
ive patched the original verified-bood.img with magisk so no boot.img dump has to be made.
the tool now detects what state you are and boots the state needed for his job.
only magisk manager app has to be installed on device and the tool do this for you.
the tool detects if you are already oem unlocked or not. so if you already unlocked you dont
need to do that again. it also detects in witch state your phone and boots the right mode.

Problems:
i got some problems with dumping boot.img. the partiton size is 16M and the dd dump is also 16M but if i try to flash it back fastboot says the file is to large for partition. thats why unroot doesent work for now. Magisk patch the boot.img and resize them to 8M. than flashing works fine and all works. if someone can point me in the right direction would be very nice. if you have some questions please write here or pm me.
if someone can make a scatter file for this phone or had the scatter file it would be nice to share so we can try to backup the phone with SP Flash Tool. thanks.
if you found some bugs please tell it here so i can fix it.
Nice
Thanks for this great work, worked flawlessly. Just wondered, now we've got this root, is there any custom recovery we can install for it? (I realise many things will be available through Magisk's modules already, but still just wondered.)

did you use the RoCuNo+ Programm or have you done all by yourself ? what do you use ? step by step or the AIO routine ?

I had already unlocked the bootloader myself prior to this, looking for a way to root it before I saw this article (I gather this is the first available root method for this device), and also manually installed MagiskManager and the MTK-Engineering-Mode apk's and from then on I used the ruCuNo+ bat to complete it.
I followed stage 6, then 7, then 3. Pointed the Magisk to the original boot img, got it patched, sent it to PC and flashed the boot image with ADB. After turning on the phone, Magisk ended up with two green ticks so everything was good to go.

thats also a way :good: maybe i implement this for users who already unlockt the bootloader. then the the phone must not be factory reset again. :good: thanks for telling me this way i dont think of bevor

No worries, great work - hopefully, we may see some custom recovery to come in the future from someone. Wish this phone actually had its own page on XDA, but I doubt it has enough widespread support for that, who knows.

Yes. custom recovery for the phone would be great. if I knew better, I would make one myself. but I've read a lot. maybe I'll try it in future to make one.
i think this phone dont get his own page. but maybe the Cubot vendor get his own where we can put all related Cubot threads together in his own sub section. :good:
i got a error after "fastboot oem unlock" -> "FAILED (remote:Unlock operation is not allowed)". i think, bootloader is not unlocked, what can i do?
oops: had forget "OEM UNLOCKING in DevMenu"

I think the sequence in the Guide is a bit wrong. In the Guide I read:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
Type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Than:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
NOTE: ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE DELETED Press VOL+ on Phone if asked wait for device for unlock...
... (this comes now after)
Enable USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCKING in Menu --> Settings --> Developer Options
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I follow this I get (in very small fonts) as another user here in this thread:
Unlock failed...return to fastboot in 3s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And no unlock of the bootloader seems possible.
Because first I need to do OEM UNLOCKING in the Dev. Options, which seems very clear. Only after I can fastboot oem unlock
What I further not quite understand in this post, is it either the Guide or the Batchfile I have to follow? Or is it a mixture of both what I need to do?
As I think the Batchfile cannot enable the Developer Tools in the System, or?
Lastly and most important: on my phone I don't see a mmcblk07p only a mmcblk0p7, so this throws an error:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk07p of=/sdcard/boot.img
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess that mmcblk0p7 is ment, so I did a dd with mmcblk0p7, and I let patch this file with Magisk to the file: patched_boot.img
But here I am very not sure and if I flash now a wrong img-file with this:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I strongly guess that is it with my new phone
So could you please confirm that it was just a typo in the first post here?
How can I know which of these files in /dev/block is the boot.img?
Thank!!!

For this Problem the batch says first enable dev options and OEM unlock and than go to next step.

Yes. Its a typo. You can flash it.
Btw i am on the way to rework the whole Programm for better use and better instructions. Give me some time because iam very busy at the moment. But I will update it soon.
And remember its an 0.1ALPHA for now. So its not perfect :angel:
Oh Great! It works
Thank a lot for your work!!!
As a noob, I did not get what to do after installing the Magisk manager. So I have it installed, but it shows no root. How can I then install the root?
I used the "RoCuNo+_v0.2.bat" in admin mode and although I got through the unlock and root, I am stuck on what to do on Magisk in the phone.
I was able to root my galaxy tab, but perhaps I am too noob for these instructions?
(Btw while booting I get the "this phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted" text)
Ran into a bit of an issue here, I received an official OTA so I uninstalled Magisk by clicking uninstall within the APK, now my phone is stuck on the boot logo. I've tried to flash the original boot img, but I can't get into the system to confirm flashing it on the device. It displays under <adb devices> but when issuing the <fastboot flash boot> command it says <waiting for any device> and nothing occurs.
Not sure how to proceed without wiping the whole thing. Anything I can try?
So I did a factory reset and used the "RoCuNo+_v0.2.bat" again as follows:
First enabled developer mode, USB Debugging unknown sources, OEM unlock
Then ran the tool:
1 - unlock bootloader - success
3 - root - success
5 - install magisk - here the phone first boots, then it erases data, then does again all the "setup your phone, wifi, accounts etc"
"Orange state - this device is unlocked..." appears in the boot
Magisk is not installed in the apps.
OEM unlock is greyed out (but enabled)
So the tool worked differently, or I am missing something.
Perhaps there are new versions of this phone?
...aaaand it's rooted.
I did everything again using the adb -command instructions.
So did not use the .bat tool.
Used the step-by-step instructions.
Thanks a lot! Finally I can use macrodroid properly.

I've been successful at porting over TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) Recovery to the Pioneer XDP-300R Digital Audio Player! The recovery can be flashed directly over the stock recovery using Fastboot, or you can temporarily boot into it using fastboot.
First off, TWRP, replaces the stock recovery and allows users to backup and restore system, data, boot and other partitions on their player onto their storage or sdcards. It also can install superuser (root) access if you want that feature to allow editing and modifying of the system folder. That opens the door for additional mods.
You can also install Magisk, which is a systemless root feature that is a little safer since it does not touch your system folder, but instead patches the bootloader and then creates a layer above system that stores the mods and changes within the Magisk system in.
First off, I made system image, bootloader and recovery images of the stock 300R prior to going into this full swing. I had already rooted my device using Kingoroot but this is no longer needed and is much more safe now.
So you'll want to get the recovery first.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1diqQ8LE-yG4b-WZFB_OPcQp2rDUp9BbV
The link in my google drive will take you to a folder where I have backups of my images. The TWRP recovery is located in the Recovery folder, along with the stock Recovery image.
Tools Needed:
Android USB drivers for ADB and Fastboot
ADB and Fastboot
Terminal or Command Prompt
Some basic knowledge on how to use these tools
Pre-Installation:
In android, go to Settings, and turn on Developer Mode. To do this, click Settings, then Device Information, then scroll to Build Number. Tap this several times until you unlock Developer Options.
Now, go back to the Settings Menu and go to the new Developer Options menu. Check the OEM Unlocking option to allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
Installation of TWRP:
1. Download the TWRP image and place it in the same folder as ADB/Fastboot tools.
2. Open a terminal or cmd prompt window and go to the folder in (1)
Code:
EXAMPLE: cd /android
3. Turn off the 300R. Then hold next track (the button closest to SD slots) and press power and let go while holding the next track button. A Penguin will appear on screen. Then let go, and plug device into computer.
4. In terminal, check to see if fastboot works.
Code:
fastboot devices
5. If it does not show a device, check your drivers! If you see a device, let's go forward!
6. Now we will install the recovery.
First we need to unlock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If you are nervous, and want to verify it works, you can do a temporary test by typing the command:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-XDP-300R.img
This will boot directly into the TWRP recovery and will go away when you restart. But you can see if it works this way and mounts each folder correctly.
If you're ready to take the plunge, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-XDP-300R.img
7. Once it flashes, you can always reboot into recovery by powering off. Then holding PREV TRACK (button closest to power) and power on. It'll show the penguin, and then load recovery soon after.
8. Once you see the TWRP screen youre good to go! I recommend making a System, Data, and Boot backup immediately so you have it ready. I also have the stock recovery in the folder for backup purposes too!
Root Access
When you exit TWRP, you have the option of installing SuperUser (root) access. You're welcome to install or decline it. I recommend using Magisk at this point, by looking up Magisk Manager and loading that onto your device. It'll also provide root access along with other goodies like Xposed, some adblocking stuff, and if you like, Viper4Android, and other mods.
To first start the process of Magisk, you need to unlock the bootloader. Go into Fastboot mode again on the phone, as described above, and go to command prompt:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This command will unlock the bootloader. In the future, you can lock it by replacing unlock with lock: fastboot oem lock
Magisk only installs correctly when you use the magisk zip file that can be downloading through Magisk Manager. This zip file needs to be flashed in TWRP Recovery. Once you do that, it'll patch the bootloader and allow Magisk to work correctly. You can verify by opening Magisk Manager in Android, and seeing if it is activated.
Once activate, you can click the menu on the left side of the Manager app, and click DOWNLOADS to find a list of modules available for use. Not all are compatible with the older Android Lollipop that is on XDP-300R, so be careful of that.
Magisk Modules
Some modules I use are:
Xposed Framework - another modding system - see below
LKT - tweaks to the kernel for battery management
Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode - Recovery command line manager (seems buggy)
SafeMode4Magisk - Boots into safe mode for disabling bad modules
Swap Torpedo - Optimizes Swap files for RAM management
Youtube Vanced - Themes and removes ads from Youtube
Greenify - adds additional features to Greenify app
Xposed Framework (now systemless using Magisk!)
Some modules I use are:
Amplify - Standalone app that needs Xposed for disabling or reducing amount of system wakelocks and alarms which greatly save battery life
Greenify - Standalone app that hibernates unused apps to save battery life and uses Xposed for additional features
Youtube AdAway - Removes ads from Youtube
BUILD.PROP MODS
The Drive Link at the top of this page has my modified build.prop in it. You can replace your existing build.prop with this if you want. Make sure you make a backup just in case!
Diverting sound away from Android OS to the DAC:
Open up BUILD.PROP in /System in your android device and look for PCM Offload
There are two lines there, that start with audio.offload...
Remove the Hash in front of each of them if they are present and that's it!
it should read:
Code:
#PCM offload
audio.offload.pcm.16bit.enable=true
audio.offload.pcm.24bit.enable=true
Also verify that this is enabled:
Code:
av.offload.enable=true
Hi ! Thank your for your work ! There are a version for the XDP-100R please ?
(sorry for my bad english)
HI, I'm thankful for your development. But is there any chances to reflash the firmware if something goes wrong?
A few days ago on my xdp300r part of the system spilled out and actually are system applications. Nothing can be installed on it, is there any possibility of restoring the original state? Restarting and recovery mode unfortunately did not help.
Thanks alot. I needed this so bad. A long time after I bought XDP300R I can only dare to use superSU to get root access and that's it. And now xposed and magisk are possible, Thank you soo much.
Hi thanks. I managed it fine. I used su as majisk would not install. Luckily I followed your advice and made a backup(I don't usually bother). I installed your build.prop and the pioneer would not boot. I have restored using twrp and changed my own build.prop so alright now. Thanks.
HI GUYS.
I am trying to unlock my 300R.
When I execute 'fastboot oem unlock' I got DENIED message.
I am stuck. Is there any hope for my player?

have you enabled the OEM unlock in the developer setting?
I do not have option like that. My player was cleared from data, but it is still locked. I cannot OEM unlock it
Any other way?

Hi,
I tried to follow this tutorial but my device is not show I checked the drivers!
But still the same, is it possible to had any help ?
Since we already have an open bootloader, is there a chance to make a newer android, I propose version 9 because in newer ones you lose the ability to play some formats, it would certainly give a second life for this model
Dear XDA forum readers/members,
I have an issue with my Pioneer XDP-300R. At this stage I can only boot into it with the TWRP (TWRP-XDP-300R.img) image provided in the first post. I also have downloaded the recovery files, including the (stock?) system image (system-noxposed.img).
When I try to flash the same image from within TWRP, I can only select the "boot" or "recovery" partitions. In this screen, there is no option to boot towards a "system" partition.
If I boot from a ZIP file containing the system-noxposed.img file, I obtain either a different error which complains about a META-INF and binary not found? , or I obtain an error which (of course) writes there is too little space to write a system image in a boot or recovery partition.
My question(s) is/are: Is there any method to flash a system image towards the system partition from within TWRP, and/or how to solve the "unknown chunk type" error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: The issue has been solved, but there is another problem now. When the device would not boot TWRP anymore (as in: froze at TWRP logo) I decided to look at the partitions (with dd): Now, I had made the mistake of overwriting the very first boot partition, and now the device will not power up anymore. By all means and purposes, he is hard bricked now If there is anyone who would like to help, I'd be very grateful, assuming there are still options left.
Greetings from a new member in need of help

[GUIDE] CUBOT X19​
I just rooted my phone and this guide was very helpful.
- After formatting your phone, boot into recovery through TWRP as my phone keeps bringing up the "no command" error screen if I use "Vol Up + Power"
- When that happens, hold power button for 10 secs, your phone will either turn off or reboot, flash TWRP again and continue.
Successfully Installed TWRP 3.3.1 with SP tool what is did After selecting scatter file from stock firmware i replaced the stock recovery and edit the partition size in the scatter fie for recovery and changed the default path from sp tool default was Recovery-verified i switch it to the Recovery.img that i replaced it with.
Having issues: At the top of the screen its written in red letters as overlay: "TEE key not write Google key not write"
I already applied the "fix Orange state" fix.
Any ideas?
Actually I am using a CubotX19 S and finally I went back to stock rom. That fixed the issue.
However, when I flashed Stockrom I noticed at loading of MT6763 scatterfile, that there are 2 sections having "tee" in their names (see screenshot).
Maybe it would be enough to just flash one or both of those two sections.
I did not do any further research, but maybe this hint os of help for others .
BTW: my screenshot says "Download only" in the Droplist. Actually I flashed using "Firmware Upgrade"
best regards,
bul

Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of features. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.​
Rich (BB code):
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or
you are getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if
you have any concerns about features included in this recovery before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me
for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Key Features:
Custom Firmware installation
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Backups of partitions in TAR or raw Image format
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Restore backups from internal storage, external SD storage or OTG devices
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Partition wiping
File Manager(copy, move, rename, delete etc)
Terminal access
ADB Root Shell
Onscreen keyboard
Easy selection of internal/external storage
and more...
In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. TeamWin call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript.

This command will list the connected devices. If your phone’s serial number shows up, you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed, this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. To keep the setup, you must fix your drivers to list your device under fastboot devices.
If the phone is recognized by the command above, proceed to boot into bootloader by tapping down the volume down button on your phone and select the BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE option with power key. Now you can unlock the bootloader with the following command: Remember that this step will wipe EVERYTHING off the phone."fastboot flashing unlock"
Notably, if this command does not work you can try to use the below command:"fastboot oem unlock"
You will get a confirmation on your Android device’s screen, Navigate to yes and hit the Power button to unlock the bootloader of your device.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, your smartphone will automatically reboot into bootloader mode.
Now again you can enter the command to reboot your device to the system "fastboot reboot"
Your Android device will now reboot and during this, all data will be erased.
That’s It!
That’s all you have to do to unlock the bootloader

Here is the update.zip flashing fixed build. https://oshi.at/seHmaB
Test it and let me know.
also, in recent Android versions, disabling dm-verity needs to flash vbmeta.img like fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
So don't use that dm-verity disabler
Thanks

You can flash recovery in either fastboot or existing cuatom recovery or in rooted rom.
For vbmeta, only use fastboot mode with above command.
Also as long as vbmeta is not back to stock(i.e., when you flash stock rom) you don't need to flash again and again.
Flashing once is enough.
Thanks

[GUIDE][RMX3381] Unlock Bootloader, Root Realme 8s 5G [UNOFFICIAL]

Hi Guys!
Since there is no deeptest.apk available for our device to unlock bootloader, we came up with another method to unlock bootloader unofficially!
Deeptest apk is now available link is in comments section
In this guide I'll tell you how to unlock bootloader, root with magisk on your Realme 8s 5G (RMX3381)
Code:
/*
* This Guide is tested and working
* However I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about unlocking and flashing TWRP
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
*/
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
Requirements
PC or Laptop
Internet connection
Realme 8s
USB cable
Working Brain
Take a backup of your data since it'll be wiped
Go to About phone > Version and tap build number 7 times
Go to Settings > advanced settings > Developer options and turn on OEM unlocking and USB debugging
STEPS
Install Python from windows store
Install USBDk
Download this and extract : https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Now open command prompt or powershell in that folder
{
"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"
}
Now type pip3 install -r requirements.txt and hit enter
Now type python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc hit enter - This command wipes data
Then power off your phone and hold both volume buttons and connect usb cable (DON'T LEAVE THE BUTTONS, KEEP THEM HOLDING THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS) - This boots device into BROM mode
Now type python mtk da seccfg unlock This will unlock the bootloader (If you face waiting for device issue then unplug the device and plug in the device again with holding volume buttons, also don't leave the buttons)
After this unplug your phone and turn it on (It'll show your device dm verity corrupted and first boot might take 20-25 mins, don't panic)
Now your bootloader is unlocked
Due to realme's limitations you still can't access fastboot after unlocking via this method
2. ROOTING YOUR DEVICE:
Install This Magisk apk
Download patched boot image and copy to the mtkclient-main folder in pc
Now in pc type python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty hit enter
Then power off your phone and connect usb while holding both volume buttons (and don't leave them)
Now disconnect and reboot phone
Now open magisk

Deeptest Apk is now available
You don't need the above steps to unlock bootloader now:
- Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging from developer options
- Then install this apk : DeepTest
- Submit application
- After submission, Click on 'start Indepth test' to boot into Fastboot or Bootloader
- Now connect your realme 8s to Platform tools or Bugjaeger to execute these fastboot commands
fastboot flashing unlock
- Press vol buttons as per shown in phone fastboot mode
- After confirming unlock, type fastboot reboot & Done!!
NOTE : This apk seems to work only with devices with RUI 2.0 based on COS 11 like realme 8 and 8s, it won't work on device based on COS 11.3 like realme 8i
Is there any custom rom available for this device?

At this moment , No. However I have twrp, need a tester for that.
Now connect your realme 8s to Platform tools or Bugjaeger to execute these fastboot commands..
Please explain this Sir, Do i need to install these tools in PC or adb is enough after booting into fastboot.

Well the whole point of making this guide is… you cannot access fastboot in this device unless you have registered for unlock in deeptest apk.. which wasn’t available at the time of making this guide …and for unlocking u needed to follow this whole procedure and its mandatory to have a pc for it to work

I just didn't understand that connect your realme 8s to Platform tools or Bugjaeger..
Could "fastboot flashing unlock" command can executed in adb? If no... Please give link to that platform tools or Bugjaeger
