Unlocking the bootloader on your Realme GT Neo 7 Turbo opens the door to advanced customization. Whether you want to root your phone, install a custom recovery, or flash a custom ROM, unlocking the bootloader is the first and most important step.
This guide walks you through each step in a clear and simple way. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid issues.
Important: Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all the data on your Realme GT Neo 7 Turbo. This includes apps, settings, contacts, and internal storage. Please back up everything before proceeding. Also, note that doing this might void your warranty.
Step 1: Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging
- Open the Settings app on your Realme GT Neo 7 Turbo.
- Scroll down and tap About phone.
- Find the Build number and tap it 7 times quickly until it says “You are now a developer!”
- Go back to Settings and open Developer options.
- Enable both OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
These two options are necessary for communicating with your phone using ADB and Fastboot.
Step 2: Request Bootloader Unlock Approval
Realme and some other brands require approval before allowing you to unlock the bootloader. Here’s how to do it:
- If your phone is running a global ROM, you may first need to flash the China ROM.
- Sign in with your Heytap account (used for Realme services).
- Download the appropriate DeepTest APK for your device:
- Install and open DeepTest.
- Tap Apply, check the confirmation box, and tap the green button again to submit your unlock request.
- The app will show a timer indicating how long you need to wait for approval (usually 1 hour or more).
- If you want to skip the wait, uninstall the newer DeepTest version and install the older one linked above.
- Open the old version and tap Query Approval.
- If approved, the app will show a success message above the Start DeepTest button. Tap it, and your phone will reboot into bootloader mode.
Step 3: Set Up ADB and Fastboot
- Download the latest ADB & Fastboot platform tools.
- Extract the ZIP file into a folder on your computer.
- Open that folder, then right-click while holding Shift and choose Open command window here or Open PowerShell window here.
- Connect your phone with a USB cable.
- In the terminal, type the command below to check the connection:
adb devices
If you see a prompt on your phone, allow the connection.
Step 4: Unlock the Bootloader
- Now reboot your device into fastboot mode using this command:
adb reboot bootloader
- Once in fastboot, enter the following command to unlock:
fastboot flashing unlock
- Your phone will display a confirmation screen. Use the volume buttons to highlight Yes, then press the power button to confirm.
Step 5: Reboot the Device
- Once the unlock is complete, type the following to reboot:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will restart and take longer than usual for the first boot. Don’t worry — this is normal.
You're Done!
Your Realme GT Neo 7 Turbo bootloader is now unlocked. You can now root your phone, flash a custom recovery like TWRP, or install a custom ROM. Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility.
