In this guide, we will show you the steps to unbrick your Realme GT 5G device via Fastboot Commands. The device from this Chinese OEM seems to have check-marked most of the prerequisites that one could have asked for from a device belonging to this domain. The likes of Snapdragon 888 chipset, 120hz refresh rate, up to 12GB RAM, and 65W fast charging are just some of its noteworthy features.
Along the same lines, these devices are quite an active player in custom development as well. Be it for flashing the custom ROM, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, or gaining administrative privileges by rooting your device via Magisk, there’s a lot to look forward to. However, this is just one side of the coin.
Trying out these tweaks could also spell out trouble for you if you end up flashing an incorrect binary or flash it to the incorrect partition. In such cases, a softbrick or boot-looped device is usually on the cards. Fortunately, you could easily unbrick your Realme GT 5G device by flashing the stock firmware via Fastboot Commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one.

STEP 3: Extract Realme GT 5G OZIP Firmware
The downloaded firmware will be in OZIP format. So you will have to extract it in order to get the partition IMG files. For that, please refer to our guide on How to Extract OZIP Realme Stock ROM (Firmware). Once the extraction is complete, transfer all the IMG files to the platform-tools folder on your PC.
STEP 4: Boot Bricked Realme GT 5G to Fastboot Mode
In most cases, a soft-bricked or boot looped device might already be in the Fastboot Mode. However, if you are stuck in a bootloop, then long-press the Power key to turn it off. Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys (or Power and Volume Up in some devices) together to boot your device to Fastboot Mode.
However, if you are unable to power off the device, then let its battery drain out. Once that happens, connect it to the charger. Then as soon as it is about to boot up, use the Power and Volume Up/Down keys and it will straightaway boot to Fastboot Mode.
STEP 5: Format Device via Fastboot
- Head over to the platform-tools folder where the extracted ROM is present.
- Then go to its address bar, type in CMD in its address and hit Enter. This will launch the CMD window.
- Now execute the below command to perform a factory reset (optional but recommended)
fastboot -w
STEP 6: Flash Realme GT 5G Firmware via Fastboot | Unbrick It
Now just execute each of the below commands, one at a time, inside the CMD window that you have opened in the platform-tools folder. No need to check for or specify the active slot, the commands will automatically flash the partitions files to their active slots.
Moreover, the second last command (fastboot -w) will factory reset the device, so make sure that you have taken a backup beforehand. Then the last command (fastboot reboot) will automatically boot the device to the OS.
