What More?
In my opinion, you don’t need to root for your Realme X50 Pro 5G/Player Android 10 version. If you thought you could Improve Performance By Root; With the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 Octa-Core processor and 6-12 GB RAM, your device can perform well. If you don’t know how much RAM you need, You will never use this much RAM. It would help if you did not Boot into Normal OS Booting by pressing the power button after firmware flash. It will boot you to a Non-Rooted environment. So, you should pay attention to the first recovery boot step.
If you root your device because of the battery drain issues, you can optimize your battery without root. Beyond this, if your purpose is to Disable Bloatware apps, you can do that without using this method. This method is not based on TWRP custom recovery. Thus you can’t install Custom ROMs. When you have any suggestions or doubts, comment below.

I tried to root my phone, have done every step, but when I restart my phone now, I get this error screen :
“The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot.
Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it”
Any idea ?.. I took all of your files, that’s strange…
When you can’t boot into your mobile, You can fix it using the stock recovery online method.
Hi, I don’t have the ‘Advanced Reboot.’ option on my phone. Is that normal?
Also: “Download Magisk.Zip (Latest Version), and no-verity-opt-encrypt – Copy it to Your OTG Memory.”
What is an OTG Memory? When I click on your link, it says that you use a cable to connect things.
These are the first steps, and I’m already totally lost. Is it tough to do?
OEM Unlock is enough. Since your mobile doesn’t have SD card support, we are using external memory like Pendrive.
Hi, thanks for your reply!
Download and save the TWRP File
Is the TWRP File the “Realme-x50-pro-3.4.1-20200427-wzsx150.zip”
Because you say “them,” but there is only one file in this :o
Also, what are the “installed ADB and Fastboot folder”?
In the “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” folder, I got a file named “Fastboot,” should I copy the “Realme-x50-pro-3.4.1-20200427-wzsx150.zip” (That I would rename Recovery. img) in there?
It seems really complicated for me, and I don’t want to break my phone, any chance there is a video tutorial you would recommend or something like that?
1.Yes, extract the TWRP file and Put it in the fastboot folder.
2.Launch ADB and Fastboot from that folder. Or Else, You Command Prompt can’t detect ADB drivers.
Hey there,
“Download the Realme X50 Pro 5G/Player Android 10 Unlock Tool apk and install it on your mobile.”
When I try to install it on my phone, it says, “In-depth Test.
Application non installed”
It seems like something is not working; any idea?
Allow unknown sources in the settings or allow this file installation to install the In-Depth Test apk file.
Hello there! :)
I’m at the “fastboot flashing unlock” step now; the problem is that my phone seems not to be detected or something.
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock
”
I tried to unplug/plug several times but without any changes.
Do you have an idea? The USB is working right when my phone is normally started (I can access files, connect, …), but on FastBoot Mode, when I try to detect it with the ADB and Fastboost CMD, it says it isn’t connected :o
Thanks in advance, and thanks for your help so far!
Enable USB Debugging on your mobile.
What if TWRP install fails and returns to stock recovery is needed?
It will flash correctly when you follow the steps in order after flashing TWRP. Boot into TWRP using command or key combinations. It would help if you flashed the Magisk in the first boot. Or Else you may lose root access.
followed your steps, and now I got:
“the current image (boot/recover) has been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it.
Help!
Did you flash the TWRP correctly, or it failed? Fix the firmware by boot into recovery mode—Select Online update.
Hi Selva
Thanks so much for your reply. I managed to get back to stock ROM and stock recovery by using official realme flash tool (ofp). I think this TWRP converts phone into 2071 and no 2076/2075 custom ROM can be installed…
Hello,
Have you tried to install TWRP in root Realme x50 pro 5g RMX2076 with fingerprints working and no other Complications? Xda is silent, Couldn’t find anything there.

1, No Local backup of app and app data. Which is there in Xiaomi phones
2, How to transfer old apps and app data to Realme x50 pro 5g RMX2076. The inbuilt Clone Phone app doesn’t work. Any suggestions.
3, TWRP you provided is it official because I couldn’t find it.
