Unlocking the bootloader on Redmagic Astra with generic commands is not possible. Methods that worked on older REDMAGIC devices (for example, using an engineering ABL) are not sufficient for Astra/RedMagic 10 Pro & RedMagic 10s Pro — the device’s secure‑boot architecture and configuration partitions block those approaches. This article explains How you can unlock bootloader on Your RedMagic Astra NP05J
What is an engineering ABL (eng ABL)?
An engineering ABL is an engineering/debug build of the ABL (Android Bootloader Loader). On some earlier REDMAGIC devices, obtaining and flashing an eng ABL allowed developers to enter an engineering environment that made bootloader unlock or further modifications possible. That technique relied on the device trusting the flashed ABL within the existing signature/verification chain.
Why the Astra (NP05J) behaves differently
- eng abl for astra verify ztecfg signature to allow unlock, if the partition not signed the bootloader reject the unlock
How to get signed ztecfg
- The file generated using special algo which is not available in public, at the movement you can get this only from service provider, the file different for every device & can’t be used on another.
