Apparently it have something to do with "carrier customized phone" which made it region locked. This issue is only with realme phones for some weird reason as I can easily unlock my poco x3 pro.
Is there any Malaysian variant user here that know a way out of this?

Hi guys I have a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G im in the UK and my phone is totally stock. I've just read the guide for unlocking the bootloader and it mentions the phone needs to be SIM unlocked. My phone is locked to EE as it's the 5G version does that mean I carnt unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMs ?
Hi, it has been more than half a year since Realme 5 Pro was released, I am just curious that if you guys over there in Europe had found a way to unlock the bootloader on your device?
For context, you cant unlock the European version of using the common method that is posted all over the place in this forum, it will just give an error.

It works in Europe. You are doing something wrong or you bought a contract phone Vodafone as in branded to Vodafone then they lock the bootloader to prevent rooting to keep all their Vodafone bloat on the phone and to prevent you from changing the IMEI or something and selling the phone before your contract runs out or so they can blacklist you on the network if you don't pay the monthly installments.
Are you sure you enabled adb in dev settings AND authorized it before booting to fastboot
Are you certain you toggled the OEM unlock toggle to allow unlocking ( if it isn't there it was removed by Vodafone )
Are you sure you tried *all* the commands that allow unlocking
Are sure your pc can even "see" your device
Run the following cmd :
Fastboot getvar all
*Paste the information it returns on the fastboot screen
I had a chinese redmi 6 that had an unlocked bootloader and global ROM and it was using a Giffgaff SIM. Bootloader got locked and it bricked. Finally got it back on its feet again with a chinese ROM and want to unlock bootloader which requires a working sim. However the giffgaff SIM will no longer work, the phone recognises it and my phone number and all the network settings but wont use it.
Do i need a chinese sim?
Thanks!
Can I know how to do without unlocking bootloader like Oneplus 8t?
Not possible friend.
Hello, I am planning to change my Poco X3 firmware region to Global.
If I install the global firmware and attempt to lock the bootloader, will it brick the device, or do I need to use the original region firmware to avoid this?
There is a very high chance you will brick your device when locking bootloader with rom for different region, I wouldn't risk it.
