The Realme 2 was recently launched as the second flagship device for the Realme brand, featuring a 6.3” IPS display, Snapdragon 660 SoC, and 8GB RAM / 128 GB internal storage. These are actually fairly powerful specs for a budget-range focused company. In any case, Realme promised they would be developing a bootloader unlock process when the phone was released, and its finally here. Though the entire process seems a bit odd. First, they are referring to it as “in-depth testing”, so the official website says things like “In-depth testing may modify some of the system functions” instead of “Unlocking your bootloader may [etc]”. Secondly, the entire process involves applying for an OTA update that enables bootloader unlocking, then installing the OTA and applying for actually unlocking the bootloader. Its 2 applications for 1 goal, which is quite strange. In any case, follow our guide to unlock your Realme 2 Pro, and comment if you encounter any issues. Notes: Create a backup of all your important data before proceeding. Unlocking the bootloader will trigger a factory reset on your device. Also, no custom recoveries such as TWRP or custom ROMs are available yet for the Realme 2 Pro, which may make unlocking the bootloader kind of pointless, for now. The kernel sources were just released January 15th, so Android developers may be working on them as we speak.
