Realme 5 Pro EU version downgrade to Android 9? - Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello all, i have a Realme 5 Pro Eu version running the latest RMX1971_11_C.12 firmware but in 2020 after the Android 10/ColorOS 7 update, i had some issues. The battery drains faster, i lost the FM radio app and sometimes the fingerprint sensor does not work. I know there's an offical Realme rom to downgrade to Android 9 but i think it's from a different region (India?). I can't use a different region rom, right? On the Realme Europe support page, the roms are "RMX1971EU" but the offical Android 9 rollback back it's "RMX1971EX_11_OTA_2010_all" . What's the difference between EU and EX roms?

Thank you

I changed the region of my phone from EU to "Multilingual Version EX" with this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...dated-instructions-now-working-again.4143415/ and it worked because after rebooting i got the Theme Store and the FM Radio app again.
After that i flashed the phone with the official Realme 5 Pro Android 9 rollback rom and it worked too . I'm back to Android 9/Color 6 and both theme store and FM radio app remained. Now i'm on firmware RMX1971EX_11_A.20
So now let's see if both my battery drain and fingerprint sensor problems are solved. I think now i can unlock the bootloader too. Well, If you have an EU Realme phone and you want to change region for some reason, this method works.

No VOLTE Android 11

I have tried 3 different roms & one MIUI on Android 11 and have no VOLTE.
On android 10 I it worked when I was on EvoX & MIUI it worked out of the box.
My carrier is Telstra. - Apparently other Australian carriers have it volte on 11.
Has anyone else had this issue? I have tried to use some props to enable it but no joy.
I'm using the Xiaomi.eu Weekly - and have VoLTE and VoWiFi working after using the disable carrier check codes on Boost (Telstra). I had been using the Indonesian ROM on Android 10 and it worked really well, but when the update to Android 11 came out - I updated and experienced a few issues that I wasn't happy with.
Changed over to Xiaomi.eu Weekly about 2 weeks ago and quite happy with the phone again. I must say though that I see VoLTE working less often than it did before, if that makes sense... sometimes I need to reboot to get it working again etc. Very happy that VoWiFi is working though, as Telstra reception is horrible where I'm living...
i had this p[roblem but i solved flasing an europe version instead global but that doesnt apply to u coz u arent in europ. try to talk with call center from ur network for reseting volte and vowifi and try again other version roms, miui, aosp, evriting...if dont work, sell ur fon

Same here!
After disabling VoLTE carrier check on Mi Note 10, VoLTE was working fine on Android 10 with Boost (Telstra). Updated to 12.1.2.0 with Android 11 and VoLTE disappeared for Telstra, but VoLTE is still on with Android 11 and Vodafone SIM.
I had to unlock my bootloader with Mi Unlock (wait 10 days) and downgrade to Android 10 Global ROM to get VoLTE to work again.

My bootloader is unlocked already - I'm going flash Crdroid a10 Rom - I've been trying to get the phone in diag mode with the phone to checkout the NV items with EFS explorer in QPST configuration - I might return to stock to see if it will work there because it's not working on AOSP.
I want to compare android 10 vs android 11
Mi 10 & Mi10 pro are also having the same issue with VoLTE using Telstra on A11.

What happened with the Indo firmware on a11?
So Volte works sometimes and other times not? Please explain your findings?
Perhaps I might try the eu Roms and see if they work with diag mode.

If you guys try to get into diag mode - perhaps we can put our heads together to figure it out.
diag mode / QPST functionality??
I have been trying to get my POCO F2 into diag mode so I can use it with QPST. Has anyone tried to do this and was successful? I'm currently on AOSP so I'm not entirely sure if you have to be on stock for this to work. I google searched not...

Sorry, it was working on an older weekly - but I lost both VoLTE and VoWiFi last week when I updated... and I couldn't get the very latest weekly to install at all this time around... but that's another issue entirely.

I flashed crdriod Android 10 and have volte again.
I ended up using Xiaomi.eu 12.0.8 - which I read was the last version of Android 10. Works fine.
Hope they fix up the VoLTE sometime for the Android 11+ versions for Telstra network users, like me...
Firmware Issue VOLTE Android 11 - ims_user_agent
Since Android 11 - VOLTE fails to work my carrier (Telstra AU) which worked perfectly on AOSP and MIUI with codes. These below setprop commands require root. And require these drivers or the qualcomm one atleast...

The Telstra mbn is fine, it's a bug in the firmware with ims_user_agent.

Indonesia ROM vs EEA ROM

I have read that the indonesia version of the ROM for Poco F2 Pro is more stable than the EEA one.
I also read that the indonesia version has the call recorder.
Are there any other differences? Network management type?
Thanks.

Use the INDO V12.0.4.0 version which is super stable
I am now on INDO V12.2.2.0 and it has many bugs, GPS does not work, recent app, battery discharges fast ...
I will return to INDO V12.0.4.0 and disable the update so as not to update.

Will I lose anything by going from EEA to Indonesian ROM? Like bands or languages or anything?
I'm in a process of unlocking the bootloader and downgrading from Android 11 to android 10 and I'm wondering which ROM is the best. I think a call recorder is a nice feature to have. I had it in my Zenfone 6.

I'm using a very strict banking app and I'm afraid they wouldn't like each other. Many users of my bank's app complained about that, but their developers always know better. Sometimes it doesn't even work with stock ROMs on some devices stating that they are rooted.

The main reasons why I'm going back to Android Q are:
the full screen not working in A11 (status bar always visible),
phone not streaming audio to the car head (stopped working after upgrade to A11)
and annoying animation when minimizing an app and going to the home screen (can't be switched off)
Are these bugs fixed in the eu ROM?

Couldn't find the answer there, thanks anyway.
I guess I'll stick to the stock Android 10 ROM, so the question still stands: what is the difference between Indonesia and EEA ROMs except for the dialer and message apps?

Edit: Just installed the 12.0.4.0 Indonesian ROM, all seems to be ok
good afternoon, i did try to unlock the bootloader of two devices I bought and unfortunately i was unable to. i watched a few videos regarding the unlocking, downloaded the unlocking app and the waiting time doubled after my first try.i must have done something wrong but i dont know what. the only thing I am wondering is if i have to leave the sim in the device while im waiting for the 7 day period for example? have any of you got any suggestions and would you guys mind helping me and guide me step by step on what to do. i dont understand much and this is my first try. the poco f2 pro is with two SIM cards and the global version 12.2.5.0(rjkeuxm) and the redmi k30 is again with two SIMs with 12.1.6.0(rgicnxm)

Question Call recording

Hello,
anyone managed to enable any kind of call recording on Poco X3 Pro? I see there is no Indonesian firmware available at the moment, i hope it's only temporary and they'll release it soon, anyone got some information in this matter?
It should be possible to make your system read write able using my script and then simply replace the stock phone dialer apk with the Indonesian one. I'm pretty sure even the X3 NFC one would work on the X3 pro.
@lebigmac
thank you for your reply, however i think that flashing indonesian firmware was way more straightforward and it was possible to relock your bootloader after flashing it. How about your script? is there a possibility to lock BL after messing with system apps?
You mean relock bootloader after making system r/w ? This could be possible. If you're lucky the system will still be r/w afterwards. Nobody has tested this yet. You would be the first person in the whole world to test it.
Yes it's probably easier to simply download Indonesian firmware and extracting dialer app rather than waiting for some random person to upload Indonesian dialer app for you
To be honest i wasn't thinking about extracting the dialer app. I've flashed the Indonesian firmware on european version of Poco X3 NFC and all the functions i need work just fine. I hope there will be the same option will be available for the X3 Pro, if no i'll have to return it, because native call recording is an must-have for me.
Could you please send me the link to the Indonesian firmware (for X3 NFC or X3 Pro)? The version doesn't matter. Thank you.
Please find the link below:
POCO X3 NFC (surya) Indonesia (ID) Fastboot & Recovery ROM | XiaomiROM.com
Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC (surya) Indonesia (ID) official ROM, include stable, weekly and beta MIUI firmware which can be updated with Recovery and Fastboot …
xiaomirom.com
there was even an XDA topic regarding the call recording in Poco X3 NFC.
Does Indian firmware also contain call recorder app or only Indonesian one?
I've been using Boldbeast Android Call Recorder which I purchased through the Play Store a/b a yr ago after switching over to Android 10 and it has been working like a charm since. Just be sure to follow their instructions

I'm not sure, in case of Indonesian firmware there is an MIUI dialler app and built-in recording works very well.

Hey, i've dont it on my Poco X3 NFC, that's why i hope it will be possible with the Pro version also. Someone said that you have to be careful with flashing older version of firmware over the recent one (there's something like AntiRollback protection level), however on Poco X3 Global and Indonesian firmware were labeled in different way (version numbers weren't the same). Maybe someone more familiar with the subject will be able to tell you how it is with this ARB?
Can anyone with Indian firmware confirm there's an call recording option?
Another option is flashing the Xiaomi.eu ROM, which has call recording builtin, within the dialer app.

I was able to manually install the Indonesian stock messaging app into the European stock MIUI. I used my systemrw script to mount system as r/w and simply copied the app folder to /system/priv-app/
I tried to do the same thing with the Indonesian dialer app but without success so far.
Have you tried the India ROM? in my old Redmi Note 8 Pro (came with Europe rom) I installed the official India ROM and then relocked the bootloader withouth any problems, I'm like you I like the native call recording possibility, without losing the security that only the locked bootloader provides.
In the poco x3 pro, I'm still waiting 98 hours to unlock the bootloader to test other roms, so please take my words with a grain of salt, I have 0 experience in the POCO. BTW it's India ROM it's supposed to support native call recording, at least in my experience with RN8 pro.

Google dialer has recorder, but will notify the other side when recording.
MIUI dialer has recorder without notifying other side, but may not be in EU official MIUI ROM. Indonesia ROM and Taiwan ROM has MIUI dialer.
MIUI has either MIUI dialer or Google dialer, so should have record call by default.

Hello, I have a Stock Indian to Global/EU ROM Flash Query.

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy this phone - Indian version with model number RMX2076. version I intend to purchase is 8GB | 128GB version.
I have a few doubts and need help & answers please.
I intend to flash the stock Indian Rom with EU/Global version of Stock Rom. I am doing this to activate more number of 4G and 5G bands available on this device on the EU/Global variant, as against fewer network bands available on stock Indian ROM version. source: https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_x50_pro_5g-10097.php
I would prefer to keep the boot-loader locked post the ROM Flash and get the rest of the phone working as stock. I prefer, the security of locked boot-loader, and would like all bank apps, UPI Payment apps and Google Pay app working.
My Queries are:
Can this be done on this device?.
Will the device receive regular OTA OS and security updates for the Global/EU ROM post the Flash?.
Are there hardware changes in Global version of this phone that I should be aware of, prior to this Global ROM flash on the Indian version RMX2076?.
any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
bump, really no one has this same question? some answer would be nice please.

Question Chinese ROM vs Global / Indian ROM

Hi all,
So I am interested in buying a Realme GT Neo 2, however I will likely buy the Chinese version as it is easier and chaeper for me to find and purchase (Aliexpress).
I see most stores say they will open the box and flash the Global ROM for you before shipping. Not sure how true this is, but anyways...
I wanted to find out if with the Chinese ROM, does it have the same issues as Xiaomi / Redmi with the Chinese ROM where when the device is locked you do not get messages.
For example, with the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Chinese ROM). If I am using Whatsapp or Telegram, it works fine but once I lock the phone after a minute or so when the phone is in sleep mode I do not get messages or any whatsapp / telegram calls.
I have to unlock the phone before those messages are downloaded and come through to my phone - is this the case with the Chinese ROM on the GT Neo 2?
If so, will this be fixed by flashing the Global or Indian ROM? I know with Xiaomi, if you flash the Global ROM then this is no longer a problem. It seems that the Chinese ROM for Xiaomi is very aggressive with how it manages apps when the phone is sleepings or when the apps are running in the background.
This is my main concern and the only thing stopping me from buying this phone now.
@KD6-3.7 Maybe you can give me some advice, you seem to have a lot of knowledge with Realme and the GT Neo 2.

I do not know about that kind of screen off issue. But my Indian Variant one has no issues whatsoever. [ edge lighting is also great! ]
TBH, the neo 2 with Chinese Rom is getting frequent updates + it has access to the RUI 3.0 Beta application.
Whereas the Indian market users of neo2 are stuck on an update which is 2 months+ old...
Also, with chinese rom, you can unlock the bootloader! No such thing as of now in global/Indian ones...
So it is on you entirely, if you want updates faster or not. Also, from what i have seen, MIUI CN usually is always better than the buggy global one. Not sure how realme works.

I do not know about that kind of screen off issue. But my Indian Variant one has no issues whatsoever. [ edge lighting is also great! ]
TBH, the neo 2 with Chinese Rom is getting frequent updates + it has access to the RUI 3.0 Beta application.

Alright thanks.
MIUI CN is great, just the way it handles apps in the background / when phone is locked is a problem for me. No Global ROM for the Redmi Note 11 Pro, only expected sometime in Q1 so I had to sell mine unfortunately. My girlfriend has the Redmi Note 10 Pro, global ROM and works as expected.
Tempted to pull the trigger on this Realme, thinking I might ask the supplier to flash to Global ROM just incase. I imagine they'd need to unlock the bootloader and I could always flash back to the Chinese ROM to play around with if need be.
I just cannot afford to have a phone which does not allow for IM apps and their messages / calls to come through when the phone is locked.
This will be my first Realme device, so not familiar with how they work and do things.
If I am able to flash between the various ROMs, I might even flash to the Indian ROM if that has newer updates compared to the Global ROM.
I assume Indian ROM & Global ROM are quite similar and both have Google Apps and English as a language?

Indian is, i think global only, heh.
Also, i dont think that you will be able to unlock the bl once global rom is flashed, although i can be wrong.
If you do use google applications, then yes, you indeed need the global rom.

Hmm, I was thinking and hoping that the supplier will unlock the bootloader, flash the Global ROM and then the bootloader will remain unlocked for me to flash the different ROMs as I wish?
It seems there is really not a lot of info available and most people who are on forums and using these phones seem to be using the Global or Indian version and not the Chinese version - which so far seems to be able to do more and has newer updates.
I can order the Chinese version and ask them to not update to the Global ROM, but then I run the risk of maybe still not being able to unlock the bootloader and having a phone I cannot use properly.
If I can get confirmation that Realme does not have the same issue as Xiaomi do on their Chinese ROMs then I am more than happy to stay on the Chinese ROM.

CN variant will always be ahead in terms of updates.
As for your supplier, he will lock the bl. He has to, cuz if he doesnt, then your play store wont be certified. He will flash and lock most probably.
you can i think ask the seller himself about such stuff, he knows much more , heh.
Im currently using GT Neo 2 China varian rom.
Maybe this is my first time using Realme UI, so some of my problem may not really a problem
Here are some of my experiance for using China variant rom
1. A lot of China bloatware, most of it can be deleted
3. Unable to backup system setting, sms, call log at google account. It will showing error. You may need to backup your data to the realme chinese cloud. Contact and Calender are able to sync with google account.
4. Some of the banking apps are unable to set your device as digital otp token (maybe will fix later)
5. Cloned whatsapp have notification issue. It solve after reinstall.
6. Play Store will not automatically searching new updates and scan hamful apps. It require manual clicking.
7. Unable to use Google Location History function (it not affecting google map fuction)
8. Unable to trasfer my old phone data to new Realme phone using Phone clone app. (maybe have bug for phone clone app)
9. Great battery life. Apps are not allow to run in background by default. (i'm not sure is it Realme UI default setting)
10. High frequency system updates. You may check the latest updates news at Realme GT Neo 2 China Community.
Im using cn.
The only problem Im getting is the CN Apps but you can uninstall / remove then using ADB or manual uninstall only hehe
Thats why CN Version is the best of all version!

Actually is depend. If you very rely of Google ecosystem, the China variant rom might not your best choice.
So I have not pulled the trigger yet and was wondering what the latest software is on the Global ROM vs the Indian ROM?
I am wondering whether I should speak to the seller and see if they cannot put the Indian ROM on for me instead of the Global ROM as I may get updates sooner than on the Global ROM?
I assume the Indian ROM works fine with apps running in the background and when your phone is locked you can still get Whatsapp & Telegram messages and do not need to unlock your phone in order to receive those messages like with the Chinese ROM?

我用的是cn。
我得到的唯一问题是 CN 应用程序,但您可以卸载/删除然后使用 ADB 或手动卸载,呵呵
这就是为什么CN版本是所有版本中最好的!

Hi all,
So I am interested in buying a Realme GT Neo 2, however I will likely buy the Chinese version as it is easier and chaeper for me to find and purchase (Aliexpress).
I see most stores say they will open the box and flash the Global ROM for you before shipping. Not sure how true this is, but anyways...
I wanted to find out if with the Chinese ROM, does it have the same issues as Xiaomi / Redmi with the Chinese ROM where when the device is locked you do not get messages.
For example, with the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Chinese ROM). If I am using Whatsapp or Telegram, it works fine but once I lock the phone after a minute or so when the phone is in sleep mode I do not get messages or any whatsapp / telegram calls.
I have to unlock the phone before those messages are downloaded and come through to my phone - is this the case with the Chinese ROM on the GT Neo 2?
If so, will this be fixed by flashing the Global or Indian ROM? I know with Xiaomi, if you flash the Global ROM then this is no longer a problem. It seems that the Chinese ROM for Xiaomi is very aggressive with how it manages apps when the phone is sleepings or when the apps are running in the background.
This is my main concern and the only thing stopping me from buying this phone now.
@KD6-3.7 Maybe you can give me some advice, you seem to have a lot of knowledge with Realme and the GT Neo 2.

I am CN that this is not the case, there are several options in Settings-Notifications, one of which is to receive messages and reminders and display them on the lock screen, if not, then it is probably because the process of app has been forcibly stopped by the power protection system, to solve this problem, just select not to optimize in the battery optimization interface. The relevant solution may also be in the long press of the icon in question-Application Details-Power Consumption Management)

Well its the whole packed up rom. Depends on how it was compiled.
Interesting
I have Chinese version too.
I think the only deal breakers that i have with the Chinese version are missing notifications and bloatware. I am not sure how it works but it never delivers notifications on time, either they are delayed for 5-10 minutes or hours
I flash global version and really happy with it. Gpay doesn't work but my bank app does
