I have looked extensively for a good method to accomplish this but so far, all I have found is for version older than 5.3.2. Does that mean that there aren't any tutorial available or is it that my device is unrootable? Thanks in advance!!

Looking at Fire OS, all versions above 5.1.1 are just modifications done over Android 5.1.1 so any method which works for 5.1.1 should work for your version too. Try them as per guides which you'll find here.

Does this mean that my version doesn't need to be downgraded before the root??

Hi there!
Since Android OS version remains same it may not have any effect on root methods. My suggestion is to install custom recovery as soon as you make some system level changes like bootloader unlock/rooting. If anything goes wrong you can flash some roms and fix any possible errors.

Hello. I prefer using magisk over SU. And I just wrote up a guide a few days back on how to do that (as long as your running Android Oreo/EMUI 8.

That's tough to answer.....it's all a manner of opinion really. I had slightly better SOT though in emui 5 (since its running Android Nougat) where as emui 8 us Android Oreo. Truthfully I flashed an AOSP ROM after I upgraded to emui 8 because once you go to emui 8 / Android Oreo, it enables treble support. I'm not a big fan of emui in the first place though. However, the AOSP ROM's are newer so they are still wip when it comes to working 100% for the huawei mate 9.
May I ask what custom ROM you are using? And how do you find it? What's your SOT?

Download firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (if available) and unpack update.app from update.zip
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor and extract ramdisk.img, this is the boot image file that magisk manager needs to patch.

Okay... Sorry for the delay.
You'll obviously have to go back to stock first. And then hisuite should work to upgrade to Oreo. Just trying to think what the best way to return to stock would be for your model version and get you upgraded to Oreo.
i see this requires Microsoft Windows. i only have Linux. any suggestions?

Too late... unless you've got a bootloader unlock code before July 24. Did you? I'll guess not, hence...no root for you, enjoy GPU Turbo and Pie (whenever that comes).
Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?
Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.

You can't if you aren't rooted
Enviado desde mi RMX1971
If my device is rooted, then does it just need to reflash from custom recovery with normal .zip rom file, is that true?
If you got the a15 update as zip file you can open it and edit the Meta-inf/google/android/updater-script file thus remove limitations set by Realmeme. Then you're good to go and flash it via twrp.
i want to downgrade from Realme UI back to Color O.S 6

for now there's no fix because realmeui/a10 doesnt allow you to unlock bootloader, the only solution as of now is going to service center and ask them to downgrade for free. i also have the same problem
I would like to inform you with a step by step tutorial on the procedure for returning to a previous stock rom (OTA) release in REALME 5 PRO.
For example we would like from OTA
RMX1971EX_11_A.17 returns to previous OTA RMX1971EX_11_A.15
We look forward to your comments as soon as possible.

Greetings, gentlemens!
I'm new on forum. Igor here, from Croatia.
I have Realme 5 Pro, last update was RMX1971EX_11.F.03, Android 11. I want flash my Realme device to get latest Android 12, Cherish OS 3.1 STABLE, but, I can't find any equipmenst or tools to do this.
Please,
If anyone can help, I would be grateful.
Sincerely,

Hello again!
I finally managed to unlock the bootloader on Realme 5 Pro. I can easly go in recovery mode. Quick question: Do I have installed TWRP on phone to get latest Android 12? Or I need some more apps? Thank you.
I finally successfully unlock bootloader and root my Realme 5 Pro. Before that, I rollback my Android version from 11 to 10. to do that.
After unlock bootloader and rooting and rebooting, in the updates I was offered an upgrade on Android 11.
Question is:
Can I install Cherish OS 3.1 Stable directly via Android 10, or do I have to upgrade to version 11 first, and only then to 12?
Thank you!
Solved! Upgraded on Cherish OS 3.1 Stable.

Where on the realme community can you find the rollback ROM for the 5 Pro?
Also, did unlocking influence the camera quality?
