realme q and realme 5 pro have the same rom? - Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers

hi, I found the realme q on the net at around 140 euros, a fantastic price. The problem is that the realme q is only in Chinese and English, is it possible to put the rom of realme 5 pro in realme q? thank you all

Sure it is. They're the exact same device just realme Q is rebranded so they could sell it cheaper. Of course you'll probably need unlocked bootloader to flash global rom(Realme 5 pro) on your realme Q and according to rumors they'll release source code in this december. That means bootloader unlock and root will be possible in this December. After that you'll be able to flash global rom on your realme q. Btw I ordered a realme q as well instead a realme 5 pro because it was cheaper. I'm not bothered by the English language.
Edit.: By intensive testing and some developer help I've discovered that Realme Q has smaller system partition size + different codename (RMX1971 [Indian Realme 5 Pro]) while Realme Q (RMX1971CN) thus this forbids flashing Indian firmware of Realme 5 Pro on Realme Q and vice versa. At least of 2019.10.19. Same goes for Lineage OS since system partition size is 4096 mb on Realme Q while decrypted and decompressed Lineage OS weights 5+ GB.

oh my goodness

price is a too good man. I hope at least TWRP and ROOT will be available for this device. I'm gonna order one soon.

You should be able to flash Magisk already. I've successfully unlocked bootloader via flashboot. It's just that I messed up because I installed faulty, test version twrp that messed up my system, now I can't boot. But you should be able to flash Magisk via fastboot.

Okay

i've ordered one. Specs are too good for this price.
So there is no way to install Original Firmware again?

Yes there is. It happens the realme q fastboot.7z file was corrupted when I first downloaded it that's why I couldn't decompress it to get the flashable .img files. I've been working now from 5 am to 9 am to flash them and now my device works with stock firmware. However as soon as I modify recovery by replacing it with either realme q or realme 5 pro twrp recovery it won't boot since it detects boot modification. Same goes for Magisk root. All I achieved in the past 4 days of intensive testing ane flashing was unlocked bootloader but I can't flash root or custom rom either. It's understandable since we're in a very early period of phone release but I'm envious of Indian users who are already able to have Lineage os + Magisk on their devices.

But both devices have the same model RMX1971.
I just hope there will be some way to install realme 5 pro custom ROMs on it as well.

Sadly no. It happens Realme 5 Pro has codename rmx1971 while Realme q has the codename rmx1971cn thus this causes complications in flashing. We only got to know this recently.

Hi would it be better to but the 5 pro rather than the Q? I dont do custom roms though, can i have your input?

Buy Realme 5 Pro. Realme Q supports lesser outside of China 3g and 4g bands. Global and indian version support more.

Is the difference only on 3g and 4g supports? I live in the philippines and we only have 4g at most

Mostly. Realme Q (China) and Realme 5 Pro (global) have different firmware so updates may differ. They tend to at least, I noticed. Also developer support is bending towards global way more than Realme Q. I've realme Q and overall I'm really happy with it. However I'm annoyed by Color OS for it's limiting me in my so well known freedom that I had on Pixel Experience or closer-to-stock roms. Sometimes settings are reset by the Color OS system for example when I set a different notification sound for an app the system resets it to default within a hour. When you set animation speed to higher or lower Color OS will reset that too to default. Also the RAM management is horrible on Color OS. Aside that it's a very fast system, looks good, feels smooth, battery is fine.

Ooof that reset of color os is a real bummer. I hope that future updates will address that ram management, especially the new announcement of color os 7. I'd probably tilt to realme Q as it is much cheaper than the global version. This is considering a month from now and theyre still the same price. I'd go with the global if the price comes down (hopefully but i wouldnt bet on it coz realme 3 pro's price stayed the same for the last ~6 months) . Thank you so much for your inputs, it puts me at ease knowing that i wont regret the overall satisfaction of owning Realme Q/5pro

hi.i have realme 5 pro with global rom and i cant unlock bootloader.it is possible to flash indian rom from realme q and unlock bootloader?thanks

Anyone try to repartition Realme Q exactly the same with Realme 5 Pro?
Now we had TWRP, root, ADB... I think we can convert Q to 5 Pro easily.
Maybe these guides help:

Did you try to repartition Realme Q? sorry but I don't have a device, I'm just going to buy it.
I think we should do these steps:
1. First use TWRP to backup all partitions to SD Card.
2. Use ADB to get the Partitions Table of Realme 5 Pro.
3. Use ADB to repartition Realme Q to 100% the same with 5 Pro.
4. Restore all partitions backed up before using TWRP.
5. Flash Stock Realme 5 Pro ozip file using TWRP.
If successful, we'll convert Q to 5 Pro.

Realme 1 will get Android P{Confirmed}

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.
The news was made public by geekyranjit in Twitter.He said that the company has confirmed the p update for realme 1 when he enquired about the same.
Update:Now it has been confirmed by the company directly.

Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!
If its gonna Android P , but then also ColorOS would be ColorOS!

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.
Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking
Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

Any way to install the Global (Realme 5 pro) ROM on the Realme Q?

I bought the realme Q phone for my brother but it's bloated with all sorts of chinese apps and that sort of stuff. Was wondering if there was a way to flash the global rom/5 pro ROM, or would it be better to try a GSI rom? Would have bought the 5 Pro if I had realized the difference sooner but it's too late now.

Not yet. Although you can flash rm5p vendor, boot, vbmeta.img since their size is the same. System.img of realme5pro is bigger so it is bigger than rmq system partition itself. You can't. Yet. I'm sure there will be a solution.

Hello, I have a Stock Indian to Global/EU ROM Flash Query.

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy this phone - Indian version with model number RMX2076. version I intend to purchase is 8GB | 128GB version.
I have a few doubts and need help & answers please.
I intend to flash the stock Indian Rom with EU/Global version of Stock Rom. I am doing this to activate more number of 4G and 5G bands available on this device on the EU/Global variant, as against fewer network bands available on stock Indian ROM version. source: https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_x50_pro_5g-10097.php
I would prefer to keep the boot-loader locked post the ROM Flash and get the rest of the phone working as stock. I prefer, the security of locked boot-loader, and would like all bank apps, UPI Payment apps and Google Pay app working.
My Queries are:
Can this be done on this device?.
Will the device receive regular OTA OS and security updates for the Global/EU ROM post the Flash?.
Are there hardware changes in Global version of this phone that I should be aware of, prior to this Global ROM flash on the Indian version RMX2076?.
any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
bump, really no one has this same question? some answer would be nice please.

If you buy this phone Realme x50 pro you are very limited does not support widevine l1 if you want to watch Netflix in HD. After sale service is totally crap. As you can see there is no custom roms or anything else for this phone. I would advise you to buy Xiaomi instead of this phone.

Question Chinese ROM vs Global / Indian ROM

Hi all,
So I am interested in buying a Realme GT Neo 2, however I will likely buy the Chinese version as it is easier and chaeper for me to find and purchase (Aliexpress).
I see most stores say they will open the box and flash the Global ROM for you before shipping. Not sure how true this is, but anyways...
I wanted to find out if with the Chinese ROM, does it have the same issues as Xiaomi / Redmi with the Chinese ROM where when the device is locked you do not get messages.
For example, with the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Chinese ROM). If I am using Whatsapp or Telegram, it works fine but once I lock the phone after a minute or so when the phone is in sleep mode I do not get messages or any whatsapp / telegram calls.
I have to unlock the phone before those messages are downloaded and come through to my phone - is this the case with the Chinese ROM on the GT Neo 2?
If so, will this be fixed by flashing the Global or Indian ROM? I know with Xiaomi, if you flash the Global ROM then this is no longer a problem. It seems that the Chinese ROM for Xiaomi is very aggressive with how it manages apps when the phone is sleepings or when the apps are running in the background.
This is my main concern and the only thing stopping me from buying this phone now.
@KD6-3.7 Maybe you can give me some advice, you seem to have a lot of knowledge with Realme and the GT Neo 2.

I do not know about that kind of screen off issue. But my Indian Variant one has no issues whatsoever. [ edge lighting is also great! ]
TBH, the neo 2 with Chinese Rom is getting frequent updates + it has access to the RUI 3.0 Beta application.
Whereas the Indian market users of neo2 are stuck on an update which is 2 months+ old...
Also, with chinese rom, you can unlock the bootloader! No such thing as of now in global/Indian ones...
So it is on you entirely, if you want updates faster or not. Also, from what i have seen, MIUI CN usually is always better than the buggy global one. Not sure how realme works.

Alright thanks.
MIUI CN is great, just the way it handles apps in the background / when phone is locked is a problem for me. No Global ROM for the Redmi Note 11 Pro, only expected sometime in Q1 so I had to sell mine unfortunately. My girlfriend has the Redmi Note 10 Pro, global ROM and works as expected.
Tempted to pull the trigger on this Realme, thinking I might ask the supplier to flash to Global ROM just incase. I imagine they'd need to unlock the bootloader and I could always flash back to the Chinese ROM to play around with if need be.
I just cannot afford to have a phone which does not allow for IM apps and their messages / calls to come through when the phone is locked.
This will be my first Realme device, so not familiar with how they work and do things.
If I am able to flash between the various ROMs, I might even flash to the Indian ROM if that has newer updates compared to the Global ROM.
I assume Indian ROM & Global ROM are quite similar and both have Google Apps and English as a language?

Indian is, i think global only, heh.
Also, i dont think that you will be able to unlock the bl once global rom is flashed, although i can be wrong.
If you do use google applications, then yes, you indeed need the global rom.

Hmm, I was thinking and hoping that the supplier will unlock the bootloader, flash the Global ROM and then the bootloader will remain unlocked for me to flash the different ROMs as I wish?
It seems there is really not a lot of info available and most people who are on forums and using these phones seem to be using the Global or Indian version and not the Chinese version - which so far seems to be able to do more and has newer updates.
I can order the Chinese version and ask them to not update to the Global ROM, but then I run the risk of maybe still not being able to unlock the bootloader and having a phone I cannot use properly.
If I can get confirmation that Realme does not have the same issue as Xiaomi do on their Chinese ROMs then I am more than happy to stay on the Chinese ROM.

It seems there is really not a lot of info available and most people who are on forums and using these phones seem to be using the Global or Indian version and not the Chinese version - which so far seems to be able to do more and has newer updates.
I can order the Chinese version and ask them to not update to the Global ROM, but then I run the risk of maybe still not being able to unlock the bootloader and having a phone I cannot use properly.
If I can get confirmation that Realme does not have the same issue as Xiaomi do on their Chinese ROMs then I am more than happy to stay on the Chinese ROM.

CN variant will always be ahead in terms of updates.
As for your supplier, he will lock the bl. He has to, cuz if he doesnt, then your play store wont be certified. He will flash and lock most probably.
you can i think ask the seller himself about such stuff, he knows much more , heh.
Im currently using GT Neo 2 China varian rom.
Maybe this is my first time using Realme UI, so some of my problem may not really a problem
Here are some of my experiance for using China variant rom
1. A lot of China bloatware, most of it can be deleted
3. Unable to backup system setting, sms, call log at google account. It will showing error. You may need to backup your data to the realme chinese cloud. Contact and Calender are able to sync with google account.
4. Some of the banking apps are unable to set your device as digital otp token (maybe will fix later)
5. Cloned whatsapp have notification issue. It solve after reinstall.
6. Play Store will not automatically searching new updates and scan hamful apps. It require manual clicking.
7. Unable to use Google Location History function (it not affecting google map fuction)
8. Unable to trasfer my old phone data to new Realme phone using Phone clone app. (maybe have bug for phone clone app)
9. Great battery life. Apps are not allow to run in background by default. (i'm not sure is it Realme UI default setting)
10. High frequency system updates. You may check the latest updates news at Realme GT Neo 2 China Community.
Im using cn.
The only problem Im getting is the CN Apps but you can uninstall / remove then using ADB or manual uninstall only hehe
Thats why CN Version is the best of all version!

Actually is depend. If you very rely of Google ecosystem, the China variant rom might not your best choice.
So I have not pulled the trigger yet and was wondering what the latest software is on the Global ROM vs the Indian ROM?
I am wondering whether I should speak to the seller and see if they cannot put the Indian ROM on for me instead of the Global ROM as I may get updates sooner than on the Global ROM?
I assume the Indian ROM works fine with apps running in the background and when your phone is locked you can still get Whatsapp & Telegram messages and do not need to unlock your phone in order to receive those messages like with the Chinese ROM?

我用的是cn。
我得到的唯一问题是 CN 应用程序,但您可以卸载/删除然后使用 ADB 或手动卸载,呵呵
这就是为什么CN版本是所有版本中最好的!

Hi all,
So I am interested in buying a Realme GT Neo 2, however I will likely buy the Chinese version as it is easier and chaeper for me to find and purchase (Aliexpress).
I see most stores say they will open the box and flash the Global ROM for you before shipping. Not sure how true this is, but anyways...
I wanted to find out if with the Chinese ROM, does it have the same issues as Xiaomi / Redmi with the Chinese ROM where when the device is locked you do not get messages.
For example, with the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Chinese ROM). If I am using Whatsapp or Telegram, it works fine but once I lock the phone after a minute or so when the phone is in sleep mode I do not get messages or any whatsapp / telegram calls.
I have to unlock the phone before those messages are downloaded and come through to my phone - is this the case with the Chinese ROM on the GT Neo 2?
If so, will this be fixed by flashing the Global or Indian ROM? I know with Xiaomi, if you flash the Global ROM then this is no longer a problem. It seems that the Chinese ROM for Xiaomi is very aggressive with how it manages apps when the phone is sleepings or when the apps are running in the background.
This is my main concern and the only thing stopping me from buying this phone now.
@KD6-3.7 Maybe you can give me some advice, you seem to have a lot of knowledge with Realme and the GT Neo 2.

I am CN that this is not the case, there are several options in Settings-Notifications, one of which is to receive messages and reminders and display them on the lock screen, if not, then it is probably because the process of app has been forcibly stopped by the power protection system, to solve this problem, just select not to optimize in the battery optimization interface. The relevant solution may also be in the long press of the icon in question-Application Details-Power Consumption Management)

Well its the whole packed up rom. Depends on how it was compiled.
Interesting
I have Chinese version too.
I think the only deal breakers that i have with the Chinese version are missing notifications and bloatware. I am not sure how it works but it never delivers notifications on time, either they are delayed for 5-10 minutes or hours
I flash global version and really happy with it. Gpay doesn't work but my bank app does

Question Xiaoxin / P11: doubts about firmwares

Hi there. I'm really considering buying a Lenovo Xiaoxin tablet and I would like to ask something about firmwares..
1. Apart from official ZUI and Global ones, are there ROMs modded by sellers? I absolutely don't want those. Or maybe are the Global themself modded versions instead of officials?
2. Do you think the ZUI is better, apart from the security center being too strict? It seems to me the Global is too much stock for a 11' tablet..
Thank you guys

1. I don't think the seller can modify the rom and keep the bootloader locked as android has something like secure boot on PC. If you want to be sure, buy the one with ZUI and flash the global rom yourself
2. I personally don't like ZUI because of its look, i prefer stock android and samsung's one ui but that's personal preference, also the global rom will have a more recent security patch than ZUI.

Yea modded ROM also usually means unlocked bootloader, from my experience..
There are a few issues flashing into this tablet from what I read: lost serial number, invalid IMEI and I don't have the patience to deal with such things to be honest..
So ZUI gets less updates in general? That's weird (well not for Lenovo of course)

I don't think you should be worried about those issue as i've flashed my P11 Pro like 10 times and never face them, just have a backup of your QCN file in case something go wrong. If you want to use the global rom, just let the seller flash it for you.
Im not sure if ZUI gets less updates, I'm just saying that the latest Global rom on my P11 Pro has a newer security patch than the latest version of ZUI
