Oppo’s sub-brand Realme has launched its two affordable budget segment devices called Realme 5 and Realme 5s last year. Both the handsets came with Android 9.0 Pie over ColorOS 6 and recently, both the devices have started receiving the latest Android 10 update on top of Realme UI 1.0 skin. However, sometimes the firmware OTA update may not arrive on all the units properly due to the carrier or region server-related issues. Even some of the users can also miss out on the OTA update notification. If you’re a Realme 5/5s user and facing the same problem, then you can check out the Realme 5/5s Software Update Tracker here with the software update guide.
It’s very common not to receive the OTA update in some cases. Meanwhile, some of the users also try to implement some of the advanced customizations like flashing a custom firmware, installing custom recovery, unlocking bootloader, flashing any third-party mod files, etc. While or after performing these steps, some of the users may get easily bricked their devices or even stuck in the boot loop issue. Therefore, flashing the stock firmware again on the respective device will come in handy and your device will start working like before.
Check for OTA Updates
Realme pushes the firmware OTA update to its devices in batches and it can take a few days or more to arrive on all the units completely. Meanwhile, the interested users can manually check for the OTA update from the device Settings > Software Updates. It will search for the available update and if yes, then download and install it.
Otherwise, the system will show that you’re running on the latest software version. Make sure that the phone battery is charged up to 50% or above and connected to a Wi-Fi network or mobile data. Now, let’s take a quick look at the software update tracker list below.
