Manual flashing is typically used for "unbricking" a device or rolling back to an older version.

But where do you start? The internet is flooded with fake download buttons, malicious files, and outdated guides. This article provides a definitive, step-by-step resource on how to safely, identify the correct version for your model, and install it without bricking your device.

If you need an older version of the firmware (to downgrade or unbrick), you must use trusted third-party sites. These sites archive the files that Realme eventually deletes from their main servers.
