Realme GT2 Pro dead after flash / hard brick black Screen

Realme GT2 Pro RMX3300/RMX3301 is a high end smartphone powered by Qualcomm 8 Gen1 Processor. In the last few days, I have seen that many people bricked their GT 2 Pro after upgrading to Android 13, it’s not a issue of a single person more then 15 user contacted me to fix it via MSM.

But the problem is not MSM but the new problem is EDL. non of the Realme GT2 Pro user, are able to reboot the device into EDL Mod, the one & only way to enable edl mod on this device is test Point for that first you have to disassemble it, once you locate the test Point, you can contact me for fix.

My suggestion:

  • avoid downgrade from android 13 to 12
  • don’t unlock bootloader, if you don’t know about it
  • don’t use python fastboot ofp flash tool on this device
  • don’t switch region, if you don’t know how to do test point
  • don’t flash any ROM from fastboot, if you don’t know how to do test point

Solution:

  • if soft brick after android 13 upgrade, try to flash following partition

Disclaimer:

  • flash at own risk, because you may face hard brick (stuck at edl/black screen)
fastboot –set-active=a
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash super super.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot –set-active=b
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash super super.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

or you can use single code for both A and B slot like this

fastboot flash partition-name_ab 'finemame'

Solution for hard brick:

  • you have to contact us or service center or any other service provider for MSM Auth, once you have access to MSM download tool you can reflash it via EDL Mod.
