1. Charge Your Phone
It’s highly recommended to simply charge your handset before performing the steps below. You should charge the device battery at least 50% or above to avoid occasional shutdown during the bootloader unlocking method.
2. Take Backup of your device
Make sure to take a full backup of your device data if something is important to you. The bootloader unlocking process will completely delete the internal storage data from your device. Otherwise, try moving the important files to another external storage, or cloud storage, or MicroSD card (if any).
3. Download ADB and Fastboot Binaries
ADB and Fastboot drivers or tools are really useful to run system-level commands on your connected device using the computer in a matter of seconds. Whether you want to run fastboot or adb commands on the device, or sideload OTA files, or remove programs, etc. You can grab ADB and Fastboot binaries here.
4. Download Realme USB Drivers
USB Drivers always play a major role to establish a strong connection between a device and a PC using a USB cable. Once connected, the installed USB Driver on the PC makes sure that every operation between the connected devices goes smooth without any interruption like file transfers or flashing files, etc. You can get Realme USB Drivers here.

6. A PC, A USB Cable, and Wi-Fi Access
