How to Unbrick Realme C11 via Fastboot Commands

In this guide, we will show you the steps to unbrick your Realme C11 device via Fastboot Commands. This budget offering from the OEM comes with a decent specs sheet. Considering the price segment to which it belongs, a huge 6.5-inch screen, an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 chipset coupled with 3GB RAM and a mammoth 5000mAh battery is enough for this device to stand out from among the crowds in this highly competitive domain.

Along the same lines, this device proves to be quite an active participant in custom development. From unlocking the bootloader to gaining access to the system partition, there’s a lot to try out. The latter could be achieved by two different methods. The first one is by directly flashing Magisk ZIP via TWRP (Magisk ZIP Installer is now part of Magisk App). Or using the second method, you could also extract the boot.img from OZIP, then patch it via Magisk and flash it via Fastboot.

However, these customizations aren’t free from their fair share of risks. If you end up messing/missing even a slight instruction, their things might turn for the worse. In other words, a bricked or boot looped device is on the cards. But even if that happens, there’s a nifty way out. You could easily unbrick your Realme C11 device via Fastboot Commands. And in this guide, we will show you the steps for just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
