I open this thread because in my opinion the development situation of the various versions of the device is very confusing. I seem to have understood that as regards the unlocking of the bootloader with a working fingerprint, the situation is evolving well only on the China and India version while on the European version nothing moves ... In my modest opinion, Realme deciding to treat those who buy its phones in Europe as users of its lower series devices compared to other areas of the world are wrong because little development leads to a few posts in the various forums and few voices in google searches that each of us does when deciding what to buy ... What do you think you realme device owners in Europe?

Thanks for the information ... What procedure did you use to unlock the bootloader?
I have EU version and what you said is true about Realme but development aspect, most procedures on China version works on EU version but may partially work on Indian version.
I've tweeted Realme EU over 7 times they haven't replied yet.
MY advice for EU and rest of the world is not to buy from Realme if you want active development and OEM response. Otherwise, you can be patient by using Realme OS until there is bigger development for your device

So you too like me, although there is news of the working fingerprint on the EU, believe that it is still not worth unlocking.
I ask it because I repeat following the various treadhs on the forum it gets confused. It is sometimes indicated that the finger epint works and that for example magisk can work in normal mode and not core only ... This would already be a lot, to say yes it could use the viper4android.

I'm doing something wrong because i get bootloop everytime. i tryed to follow the guide with different gsi but no luck. Can you give a quick step how you did it ?
Until the twrp installation everything works perfectly, when I install magisk whether I try to do it from zip recovery or from boot image patched the verification of the integrity of the verity boot sends me to bootloop. You would need the vbmeta, but when I try to flash the vbmeta.img the command:
fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
On the fastboot cmd he replies that - - disabled verification is unknown ...

I've been there, i think the problem was the adb. I used the Minimal adb and it worked, give it a try
first - check everything with adb prior to installing anything - get most recent version - i'll get v41, check if there is adb connection - by adb devices, if no - troubleshoot as in many threads here on xda until everything works.
at this moment i've got Havoc OS v 3.0 installed, unfortunetely with same limitations as 2.9 - no FP, no lux metering, and weird battery behaviour (sometimes cpu isn't clocked down when screen off - it can be tuned by eg. Kernel adiutor after rooting with magisk flashed from twrp.)
simplified guide:
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp from fastboot
- select to start recovery on phone's fastboot menu (volume keys+confirm by power)
- enter your password to decrypt data
- flash vbmeta.img from PC by adb command
- at this stage I made a restart to twrp from twrp menu
- there's shouldn't be any prompt about data encryption
- made a cpmplete backup of the phone - backup to SD card, or to internal and at this stage copy entire backup folder to PC
- wipe: dalvik/cache/system/data
- install system img from a file GSI
- reboot to recovery
- install gapps, if error 70 --> goto wipe, advanced, resize system partition, back to install, install gapps
- reboot
if bootloops - format data partition

So gsi roms also have fingerprint problems ... However, more than a custom rom, I was interested in coloros with root ...
I can't give up the fingerprint though because some applications of the company I work for use it for authentication ...
I managed to root, magisk 20.3 zip flash on twrp, on the European version a17 with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81579961&postcount=44
To make the vbmeta flash command work I used the minimal adb version 1.43, with previous versions it doesn't work.
The fingerprint works very well and energy consumption has not changed compared to use with locked boot.
After carrying out all the procedure, the magisk manager indicates the certified safety net unlike the play store which is instead not certified. To have it certified, you need to download the Device ID app, copy the GSF code that gives you the result by opening it and insert it on the page of this link:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
After having it delete the data of google service framework and google play store, force the arrest of the second and reopen it ...

Except the deeptesting apk in that guide isn't compatible with the x2 - at least not with the eu version. Funnily enough the apk for the realme 5 is compatible - see this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81014949&postcount=63

Yeap.
Thanks! You're the best.
thanks for the tutorial . but I have two questions .
What is the way to install orange fox if the phone i not modified yet (no recovery what so ever, except the xiaomi ) ?
Once orangefox installed, do i have to install magisk ? is it possible ?
You must install via fastboot with the phone previously unlocked.
Works with magisk yes, but vbmeta must be flashed first.
With the android 11 update the encryption is not working, I'm studying how to solve

it's already in the post:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
thanks for the answer . I was not very clear in my question . My goal is to write a complete doc :
"how to root and install lineage OS (or other custom rom ) on your brand new redmi note 9T for the noobs"
So if you don't mind can you comment the following doc (for now it's just a draft):
especially can you tell me if there are extra steps I could had like installing magisk directly from orangefox
======================================================================================
## how to root and install lineage OS (or other custom rom ) on your brand new redmi note 9T for the noobs
=======================================================================================
## procedure for going from brand new buy xiaomi note 9T to lineage OS .
Read the complete procedure carefully before start: Beware you will loose all data you may have on the phone .and you will loose warranty .
requirements : a brand new redmi note 9T (direct from the store, no modifications), a pc with windows , the usb cable to link the pc to the phone.
a sdcard where you can store the rom and some zip to put in your phone
Make sure the pc is up ot date with latest android usb driver and adb available :
usb drivers here : https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
adb software : https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
## FIRST STEP : unlock the booloader .
for this you need a xiaomi account (if you created one with your phone , use it)
a video tutoriel here :
you will probably have to wait 167 hours before you can unlock the phone
there is also this version of the unlocker (to bypass the wait time), but I have not tested it
Download MiUnlock_bypass_OTP.zip - Generic
Download file MiUnlock_bypass_OTP.zip - Generic - in MiFirm ✅ - Xiaomi MIUI Firmware - ROM - TWRP download free and max speed - The biggest Xiaomi Mi download

put the vbmeta.zip and OrangeFox-R11.0-Unofficial-cannong.zip on the sdcard
put the recovery.img in the same directory than your fastboot program
download magisk files from here : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0
dwonload lineage os from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-18.x/lineage-18.1-20210615-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img.xz/download
unzip the file to your sdcard .
## SECOND STEP : install orangefox
orangefox is a recovery program like twrp but with more option
once the booloader unlocked install recovery orangefox .
Make sure than usb debugging and install via usb is checked in the developer option of your phone
power off your phone and restart your phone in fastboot mode (volume down + power )
plug it to your pc .
open a command shell in the directory
write the command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once the install complete , reboot your phone in recovery mode (volume up + power)
once boot in recovery mode you should see the orangefox menu.
Use the file explorer to go to the sdcard and tap on the orange fox zip files .
then swipe to install

I really liked the initiative, congratulations!
I recommend you make a post on xda
maybe you can change some things
1- you need to wait 168 hours to unlock
2- the bypass works for devices not yet linked to mi account
3- the magisk link points to a specific version, better switch to releases
4- same thing for lineage
5- It is important to highlight the version of our vendor (a11 arm64 ab)
6- it might be interesting to teach what the letters in the roms' names represent (b, v, g, z...)
7 - this can be useful:

Thanks . I added your comments to my doc . I also making a paragraph about making a zip with flashable GSi. If i understood well , it allows to transform an img file to a zip archive , that can be installed from orangefox recovery mode . Am i right ?
Before to publish a first version of the doc (it's made for android 11). I would like to have you opinion on magisk . Can I install magisk from orangefox .(I saw some video with orangefox and a magisk menu) ? and then update it from magisk manager ?
what do you think the order should be ?
install orangefox --> install custom rom --> install magisk
or
install orangefox --> install magisk --> install custom rom

About GSI maker you are right
The order you install magisk doesn't matter in this case because magisk uses the boot partition and not system. You can install it normally by recovery after vbmeta. About the magisk menu, you will only be able to use it after I manage to decrypt the internal storage
UPDATE
Flash at your own Risk !!!

Thanks. Will test this.
I'm in the process of wiping through TWRP. It says
"Failed to mound '/metadata' (Invalid argument)
I've already converted the format partition from FAT to EXT4, and wiped the selected items but I'm stuck with the error above. Idk if this won't make me able to proceed to flashing the gsi
nice. Wish there were clear instructions on how to flash this phone, though.

Hey, so I really want to root my A22, but I would want some more info. I would like more info on how to flash the A12 GSI, like what about vendor etc, I mean I know stuff about roms but no stuff about GSI'S whatsoever, so like is vendor needed etc? And also can you give me a more detailed tutorial on how to flash it? I'd love Android 12 on this phone.

Yepp... perfectly works. No issues, efs just might break sometimes like it already did to me and you have to flash stock if you didn't back up efs

Hi there, I'm a noob regarding to this, but I was able to follow this guide successfully for my A225m.
But I'd like to understand what's going on here, can you give an explanation about each step and what does it do?
Also, can the vbmeta flashing be done _without_ Odin? For example using only fastboot (which works on Linux unlike Odin).

Thank you for following your tutorial, successfully rooting, and flashing the system
There are three problems with crdroid, the dual card manager cannot work quickly, the hotspot cannot be used, and the system cannot mount the phone storage
DisclaimerI 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 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.

Thanks for the recovery, it is working quite well for me!
Decryption doesn't seem to be supported though, so it is not possible to write backups to internal storage if encrypted.
And when trying to write to external storage, I get an error (255), after the backup folder has been created.

yes
version 3.7.0_11.0 and this is the only version that works with my samsung on android 13
but to flash the phone must be rooted
to run twrp your phone must be connected to the computer and you must hold the volume up + power button
As a custom rom, I recommend lineageOS 20
ye its only work with flashed dm verity + magisk, but not sure with the magisk one.
