A clean more stock version of Android on the 5Z would make the phone near perfect.
Hopefully we'll be able to unlock the bootloader for the 5Z as well. Time will tell.

Q2: Are there any risks after unlocking the bootloader?
Please be aware that realme cannot guarantee the full functionality, and will not be responsible, for any third-party unsigned custom ROM being flashed onto your device after the bootloader is unlocked. An unsigned third-party custom ROM may not have gone through the thorough tests that we run for each device and software version that we release.
A third-party custom ROM may not work properly on your device, and certain functions and services may cease to work. The performance and device data may also be affected, and may damage the device permanently. In the worst case, unlocking bootloader will cause physical injuries or material damage for ex. due to device overheating.
Q3: Will it affect future OTAs after unlocking?
Secure user data partition may also become inaccessible and you will not be able to get official software upgrades if you unlock the bootloader. Once re-locked the bootloader, users will receive official OTAs again.
Q4: Will it affect warranty?
Warranty will be fully applied to problems caused by realme 5 Pro unlocking or flashing a custom ROM.
Q5: How to flash back the official ROM after installing a custom ROM?
Users need to go to a service center to flash the device FREE of charge. We are developing a tool to flash stock ColorOS - will come in Q2 2019
Q6: When other devices can get bootloader unlock?
Realme 1 will get bootloader unlock in Feb. Other devices are being considered.
Q7: Where are the kernel sources?

Hi , Hello everyone
I Have gakaxy (A705FN) . it Stop getting updates from September 01, 2019
Anyone know this problem ??
When I enter download Mod , This phrase appears at the bottom of the screen :
Reboot Recovery Caose is ((bootchecker ) rebootRecoverywithkey)#
blocked-based OTA
Supported API : 3
MANUAL MOD v1.0.0#
I understood from some forums that if I flashing it with officiel rom void warranty .
Is this true ??
Two months ago I tried to unlock bootloader , and until now I don't know whether it is unlocked or Still locked.
I tried the adb command (fastboot oem device-info) But the adb tell me that waiting for device.
Then I tried this code : *#*#7378423*#*# connection problem or invalid mmi code.

What's wrong with you!?
Where are you, xda senior
Have you checked that an update is available first?
I'm on September and no updates have been released yet. Same baseband as you.
Why do you want to unlock your bootloader? Checking that OEM unlocking box in the Developer settings doesn't unlock your bootloader.
Flashing anything on the phone will trip Knox and Void your warranty as well as prevent you from receiving updates including the Android 10 update coming this April. Your phone didn't stop receiving updates, it's just not available where you live yet. Just like waiting for replies to your post, you're impatient to get a security update that won't make much difference to your phone. My phone is on the November patch even though it's January and I couldn't care less, because I'm patient you should give that a try

I’m really grateful, thank you for responding to my topic
I Unlock bootloader in this manner
Step 1 – Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options > enableOEM unlocking.
Step 2 – Power off your device. Press Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode.
Step 3– Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Then I locked it again in the same manner.
I don’t know yet if the bootloader is locked or unlocked
and how to fix this : Block-Based OTA
So... have I broken my phone?
I need help
God bless you....
Thanks a lot

The other user mentioned that official firmware through Odin wouldn't trip knox which is something I've read before but wasn't sure. In any case, I forgot to mention that if you live somewhere in the European Union, a tripped knox shouldn't void your warranty. If you want to flash with Odin I do think you need to have the bootloader unlocked, but I'm not sure how you would do that.
It's time for me to end your ignorance (im looking arrogant right )
first of all you dont need to unlock your bootloader to install official firmware.
-the Reboot Recovery Cause is ((bootchecker) rebootRecoverywithkey)#
blocked-based OTA
Supported API : 3
MANUAL MOD v1.0.0# is not an error
-Block based means what it means and OTA means Over The Air.
-manual mode if just stock recovery.
-flashing latest official firmware wont trip knox/void anything.
-it's completely 'normal' that you don't have latest update if you live in an area where providers (like algeria) don't give a damn about you.
here is the firmware you should flash in order to get latest update faster than any others countries: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__A70__/to3j/SEK/A705FNXXU5ASL4/A705FNOXM5ATA1/

hello everyone
i have device SM-G960F Indonesia
with latest modem and bootloader which is G960FXXUHFVB4
security patch 1 march 2022
developer option is = ON
OEM UNLOCKING = ON (Bootloader already unlocked)
USB DEBUGGING = ON
*in Download mode
RMM STATE = PRENORMAL
KG STATE = CHECKING....
FRP LOCK = OFF
OEM LOCK = OFF
the question is , i can't install twrp. how ?
error : "Only Official binaries are allowed to be flashed".
i've been looking to google page 2 but no solution
1. from changing the date trick,
2. using miracle box to baypass the rmm
none of them works,
i still can't install twrp, error : "Only Official binaries are allowed to be flashed"
if there's anyone who can solve my problem, i owe you my thanks.
I don't know if it applied to the S9, but most recent Samsung phones have a very particular way of fully unlocking the bootloader as such
How to unlock bootloader:
- Backup all your media, this process will delete your internal media including music and photos
- Go to developer settings and enable [OEM Unlock]
- Reboot to download mode
- When prompted, press and hold VOL + to enter bootloader unlock mode
- Press VOL + to confirm you want to unlock bootloader, this will wipe your data
- If you think the bootloader is fully unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will still reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
- Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we flash TWRP and magisk
- Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader. This step is MANDATORY
- Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.

Yeah it looks like the guide really covered their bases. Check download mode and check unlock mode to see if it asks you to unlock (and not lock) the device.
I've had Samsung devices in the past that required this step more than once since the first time it still gave me the option to unlock instead of locking, which means that it didn't really unlock in the first place.
Has anybody solved this issue?
as stated in the title on my s20 plus (SM-G968W) there is no toggle for OEM Unlock, its been a long time since ive tried to root and from what ive been able to pick up from googling is it may not be supported for my country or cpu manufacturer. ive tried the change date and time trick that every guide suggested and it did nothing.

What is your baseband version?
If I recall correctly, you must be on v1 bootloader (pre Mar 2021 security update) in order to be able to unlock.
See this thread on how to unlock the bootloader (paid service):

i cant downgrade to the original bootloader?
I do not believe that it will allow you to downgrade from A13 to A11. You could try and flash G986WVLU1CTLB (A11) via the patched Odin, but no guarantees. It may also wipe your phone, so make sure that you backup before you try.
Patched Odin can be found here:
