Pre-Requirements

• Your phone should have a battery juice of more than 60%.
• Keep a backup of your device data at first. Therefore, you can get back the important data if anything goes wrong.
• The image file in this article is supported by the Realme 9 Pro and 9 Pro Plus models only. DO NOT try to flash it on other models.
