Beginner's Friendly Guide For Flashing Custom Rom On Realme 1

First of all i want to thank every developer who made it possible for us to experience such cool things on which they spend their sleepless nights , endless hours for which "thank you " is just not enough. I want to aware beginners that what they enjoy in their hand, the smooth satisfying hassle-free seamless experience on phones is result of rigorous hours of hardworking consisting several phases of development (coding , porting , patching etc ).
Always Respect Developers
I am Tech enthusiast. Following this community since last year. Reading and learning about software development.
Here in this post i have contributed nothing. i am just sharing their work with their credits and also making it easier for you guys to follow the instructions and and procedure for entering into the new horizons of customization.
Realme is working really hard to push its development community to compete with MI. If this post will help it to grow it stronger even in 0.1% i will be happy
Note: upgrade device to latest firmware.
Step:1 Unlocking Bootloader
Here you can find full procedure of unlocking written by @Sun Lee
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1101401810746212352
Step:2 Installing Twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/realme1/files/twrp-9.0/
use adb commands for booting into recovery(this version requires adb commands otherwise manually entering through hard keys is always recommeded.)
Flashing instruction for are:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
step:3 Installing custom rom
Read and follow procedure carefully as given in OP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-1/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4107019 OP By @Invincible-Venom and his whole team
optional : Rooting
you can download magisk manager . it is most widely used and trusted su manager with tons of modding modules.
but always look up to exceptions and NOTE from rom maintainers. In case of latest lineage 17.1 you can only use magisk 20.1 , magisk 20.3
this guide is for very novice kids who are new in this world . i would recommend you to know basic things before doing any stuff written above.

Step:2 Installing Twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/realme1/files/twrp-9.0/
i will recommend you download this version of twrp as you will need this for only stable custom rom made by @Invincible-Venom (again thank-you sir)

Once again read LineageOS 17.1 post for TWRP instructions.
note: dont reboot to twrp from cmd , it can soft brick your device . always perform it manually through keys.

This is ColorOS 5/5.2 issue. In ColorOS 6 the only way to enter recovery (after unlocking bootloader) is using command. So modify this statement.
In case of latest lineage 17.2 you can only use magisk 20.1

They can also use Magisk v20.3.

correct Lineage version numbers.

Hello,
I have a question, is it possible to root without flashing any custom rom? I'd like to stay with the current rom but have SU privileges. Is it possible with this phone right now?

Correct this, booting to recovery via hard keys isn't possible in the latest Frimware ( ColourOS 6 ). update it correctly. Hard keys are only possible in ColourOS 5.0/2

Realme stopped support for Realme 1 on unlocking bootloader, In depth test app fails to submit application,
If anyone found a solution please share!

Just unlocked bootloader. Now what?

I need a little direction on what my next step should be for obtaining root and twrp on my device.
As it states in the title, I just unlocked bootloader on my Sprint\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G.
I want to root and install TWRP, ultimately.
What I THINK I know so far in what I need to do next:
Obtain root (I need a good walkthrough on this as well)
Back up persist.img
Back up boot.img
Install magisk?
Patch boot.img with magisk?
Install TWRP via magisk?
Flash rom via twrp or magisk depending on rom requirements?
As you might see, I'm a little confused.
Can someone clarify the process for my specific adventure? Again, it's and freshly BL Unlocked Spront\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G on 10.5.21.IN55CB software.

Search the threads for guides.

As you can see it's read through a number of them but it all feels jumbled.
There's not one coherent guide that I could find. Could someone link me a complete guide to rooting this device?

[infinix hot 10 x682c] How can I install twrp if I'm not rooted?

I was following this guide to get twrp, but it says I need root explorer. I can't get that since I'm not rooted. I tried magisk but both the patched boot and recovery images makes my device bootloop. It's an infinix hot 10 x682c. I need twrp to install magisk. So what do I do? And if I can't install twrp, what other rooting methods are there that I can use?

you don't need twrp to install magisk ...

As I said in the post, patching the boot or recovery images makes my device boot loop

You don’t need to root your device to install TWRP, but you will need to unlock device's bootloader, which will erase all the content on your device.

I’ve already unlocked it, that’s not the point here. Since there aren’t any official builds for my device, I need to build one myself. The problem is there are certain info that I need but can only be obtained by rooting (which I can’t do). Hope this makes sense

Hint: Add infinix hot 10 x682c to this thread's title thus mainly fellow members who own this device get addressed.

what info you need dude. Just tell me because i have rooted infinix hot 10 sucessfully. So i can give you that info. You can contact me on whatsapp 8077848525. I will also guide to to root without bootloops problem

Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, once your phone is in recovery mode use the volume buttons to scroll to 'Fastboot' or 'Download Mode', then press the power button to select it. Replace 'twrp-version' with the exact file name of the . img file you downloaded. Hit Enter to install TWRP to your phone.

Question ROM on Samsung A12 (SM-A127M).

Hello, I have the SM-A127M.
I have been able to do the following:
1.Unlock the Bootloader.
2. Root with Magisk.
But I want to follow this Guide "Installing TWRP and LInageOS" and I have the following questions:
1. Is it possible to install LineageOS on SM-A127M?
2. Is there a version of TWRP for Android 11 on the SM-A127M? Download a version to install with Odin as AP from here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/a12/
But the only thing it did was go into an infinite loop in Download mode. Lucky that I was able to unbrick it by flashing the full firmware.
3. Is the reason for switching to LineageOS to improve the phone's performance, do those who already have it really feel an improvement in performance or is it the same as using it with Stock Android from Samsung?
Thank you for your answers.

Don't bother bro, nobody responds to the A127M variant, I got the same phone and a few post before yours i wonder to a custom rom and no one reply.

I think so. Have you tried this model using the installation guides on the forum to install TWRP and/or LineageOS? Have they worked for you? Have they failed you? It does not matter if it is for this specific model.
Thanks in advance.

no my mate, I don't do that for fear to brick the device 'cause it's my main phone and the backup phone have a issue with the battery. Thanks for the suggest.

I have the same phone, but i searched for a12s(sm-a127f) because the specs are the same

The physwizz dev have all on his channel. Twrp kernel etc... I've tried the twrp for this phone and it works well.

Twrp is fine but LineageOS no dont you cant call or text at all sometimes the sim isnt recognised even mention it in the sub reddit and everyone screams at you to download the official even though it happens on official builds

Try installing this custom and unofficial twrp for A12 Nacho.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=330751
[ODIN] If you couldn't install it on AP, try to install it on BL.
(No need to disable vbmeta I guess cuz I installed it on my a127m and my phone just booted normal)

Question Confused about steps to be free

Hi all,
I come from an old RN 4x (mido) to the RN 11 Pro 5G (veux) and a little bit lost
What steps should I absolutely do?
- ask for unlock bootloader : I have to wait 168h on miflash screen <=> I will wait
- download firmware : already with V13.0.5.0.SKCEUXM
- install firmware ?
- download TWRP or Orangefox ?
[SHARED][RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0_12 for VEUX/PEUX
Hello everyone, one user under the nickname yurxxl from the site 4 PDA, at my request, will assemble a recovery for us, it was his assembly that I posted in the topic...

OrangeFox Recovery Downloads
OrangeFox Recovery is one of the most popular custom recoveries in android ecosystem, with amazing additional features that are not present in other recoveries. We support a host of devices
orangefox.download
- Install TWRP or OrangeFoxx
- download Custom ROM (which one? I was on lineageOS on my RN 4x)
- Install Custom ROM
- download Gapps (which one?)
- Install Gapps
- Install magisk manager and Magisk Fox
Restore all my data.. and that's all folks ?
Do not remenber about that :
Recovery File
vendor_boot File
Thanks for all

It all depends on what you want to install.
In general the mode of installation is explained in the OP.
If it doesn't, browse the thread or ask.
Firmware is important.
In any case for a first installation you will have to format the data.
Restoring your data is not possible from MIUI to AOSP and vice versa (or maybe with a third party app).
Difficult to answer precisely on relative questions.

I thought I was clear in my request
Do not know what means OP !
My RN 11 Pro 5G is new and would like to know what steps I had to follow in order to be roooted as today on my RN 4x.
I have done it on my old RN 4x but 7 years ago.
The goal is to be roooted and instal a custom ROM but sure that I need to do many steps before !
Do not care to format it because it is brand new... I am still on my RN 4x...
All my datas will be restored by SwiftBackup so don't care about that !
So the installation will be from scratch => just need the steps in order to do it properly

No need for Twrp/O.f to root.
Use this method with the img corresponding to your device.

"OP" on XDA is usually meant in TWO different meanings:
In this context and @NOSS8's post, it's the Opening Post of a thread i.e. its post #1.
The second meaning is that a thread owner is also called the OP, the opening poster.

Ok guy,
Still 25h for unlock with miflash
ok for root with magisk but if I want to try Custom ROM before, I will need to Patch Boot Image File ....
But with TWRP and magisk installed I just have to choose the ROM and it will be done ;o)
