Realme has opened BL unlocking for all domestic models

Last night, realme CMO Xu Qi announced a piece of news that excited enthusiasts, that is, all realme domestic models are available for BL unlocking.

It is worth noting that Realme officially reminds that unlocking BL will have the following risks, and ordinary consumers need to act with caution:

1. Unlocking may cause unpredictable impact on the phone;

2. Third-party firmware may cause some functions of the phone to not work properly, such as the camera function, and may cause damage to the device;

3. It may cause the leakage of private personal information on the mobile phone;

4. After unlocking, the system upgrade will be affected and users will not be able to receive subsequent updated versions of the system OS;

5. After unlocking, the phone status is equivalent to restoring the factory settings, and all user personal data will be cleared. It is recommended to back up the data in advance;

6. After the phone is rooted, if necessary, you can contact the realme service center to assist in flashing the phone. If the official version can be flashed back, it will not affect the warranty status of the phone, but you will not be able to enjoy the return and exchange service; if the official version cannot be flashed back or the phone hardware fails as a result, it is not covered by the warranty and you will need to pay for repairs depending on the situation.

Some consumers may not know what BL lock is, so we will explain it here:

Bootloader is referred to as BL lock. It is the first code executed by the Android system after power-on. For this reason, BL lock is also the most powerful guarantee to prevent third-party software or viruses from maliciously tampering with the system. For early Android devices, not all mobile phones have this function, but now, BL lock has been widely adopted by Android manufacturers.

For Android users, due to the restrictions of BL lock, users' phones are often unable to use functions that may damage the system, such as double clearing and flashing. To use these functions, users need to apply to the phone manufacturer for unlocking. Only after the unlocking is successful can they flash third-party Rec, double clear and flash the phone.
