hello, I am currently on Android 12 on my Realme X7 with bootloader unlocked.
I want to downgrade to Android 11, I have downloaded the downgrade package of Android 11 from realme website, it says to download the package and go to Recovery and select the package using Install from local storage which my mobile is not having that particular option.
Please suggest if I can get install from local storage option or use downgrade using package using tools like Realme flash tool.

Please let me know how do I proceed 🙏.

Thanks
Vinay

Hello,
I think you have the latest version of the Realme Flash Tool installed on your computer and back up all essential data, as downgrading will erase everything on your device. Connect your phone to the computer via USB, enter Fastboot mode by holding the Volume Down and Power buttons, then launch the Realme Flash Tool and load the downloaded Android 11 package.
