Bootloader unlock on Realme
Realme uses a per-model Deep Testing app to authorize unlocks; support varies by model, region, and firmware version, and some models lost eligibility in later updates. Check current status for this exact device first.
Platform notes
Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms are the best-supported in the rooting community: fastboot works as documented, and even a failed flash can usually be recovered through EDL (9008) emergency mode.
Before you start
- Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.
- As a device launched on Android 14, the Magisk target is typically init_boot.img, not boot.img — patching the wrong image is the top bootloop cause on newer models.
FAQ
Can I root the Realme 13 Pro+?
Only if this exact model and region are eligible for a bootloader unlock. Realme uses a per-model Deep Testing app to authorize unlocks; support varies by model, region, and firmware version, and some models lost eligibility in later updates. Check current status for this exact device first. Once an unlock is approved, root is Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot).
Does the Realme 13 Pro+ support custom recovery (TWRP)?
That depends on community support for this exact model — verify a build exists for its codename before flashing anything. TWRP is not required for root: Magisk installs by flashing a patched init_boot image via fastboot.
Will rooting the Realme 13 Pro+ void my warranty?
Realme will generally treat a rooted Realme 13 Pro+ as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to rooting.
What Android version does the Realme 13 Pro+ run?
It runs Android 14, Realme UI 5.0. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
