Before doing that, though, some important steps and precautions need to be taken to ensure a smooth and safe experience when flashing. Here is a complete guide to flash stock firmware with a fast boot on your Realme 5 device.

Advance Preparations Before Flashing Realme 5 Firmware

Create a Backup:

Before  the flashing process, ensure you have backed up all important data. Flashing stock firmware deletes contacts, messages, all installed applications, photos, and other files from your device.
However if you ever need to back up your digital information you can use cloud storage, an external SD card, or even your PC so that you never lose important data.

Check that Your Battery is Charged:

Charge this device with more than 50% battery to prevent the flashing process from getting interrupted. It is best to have the gadget fully charged so that you have less possibility of a sudden shutdown which could then brick the device.

Download the Official Firmware:

Get the appropriate stock firmware that corresponds to your Realme 5 device from the Realme official website.
Avoid compatibility problems by selecting the correct firmware version compatible with your device model and variant.
Download the firmware file to your computer and keep it in a location where you can easily access it.

Install Required USB Drivers:

Required USB drivers for Realme 5: If your PC cannot recognize your Realme 5 device, then you have to install the required USB drivers.
These drivers, which are required for setting up a proper connection between your device and the computer, are available on the official Realme website.

Enable USB Debugging:

USB Debugging needs to be enabled to allow communication between your device and the flashing tool.
To do so, go to Settings > About phone > Tap Build number seven times, and toggle on Developer options.
Go to Developer options, and turn on USB debugging.
