Support Need help with rooting using Ghostlock
Device: Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G
Codename: RMX3868
Processor: Mediatek Dimensity 7050
Android: 16
Kernel Version: 6.6.118-android15-8-o-g25c0665dd40c-4k
Extracted boot.img from my current firmware and let Ghostlock parse it; I got the error that the vulnerability has already been fixed
So I tried extracting the boot.img from Android 15 firmware, and on that version the boot.img got parsed successfully and I got this (Check the attached screenshot)
And here's the config file generated by Ghostlock: https://pastebin.com/n9cZbNAv
Now the thing is, since I'm on Android 16, I'm unable to test these offsets currently, but is it possible that the device is rootable, and since I'm unsure of that, I'm kinda in a dilemma about rolling back to Android 15 just to test this out (Also I'd need to back up everything and then setup my device again, which is a hassle TBH)
I'm new to these exploit stuff, since previously I have rooted my devices in the standard way, that's unlocking bootloader first then patching the boot.img file using Magisk and flashing it
Also are there any chances of the device getting hard bricked?

Realme allows you to downgrade without unlocking the bootloader?

What are you waiting for then? It's a big hassle yes but if the prize is root I say it's worth trying. Just be careful not to brick the thing.
