Userdata - "NOU"serdata, what's the difference?

Decluding userdata will help alot of our users who are on a limited data plan, it decreases the final compressed size from around 6-12GB to 3-4GB.

Now, you might be wondering, what is userdata partition and why does it matter?

Userdata partition is required to be able to use Firmware Upgrade mode of SP Flash TOOL, which Realme utilizes it on their "MSM Download Tool", hence it's included in the non-decrypted ofp (Oppo firmware package) file. By flashing the userdata partition it might repair your corrupt partition and also partition is used for a purpose to clean your data (by flashing that empty userdata image).

While decluding userdata might give a huge advantage for those who don't have a good /limited internet connection, there are few things you need to make sure while using it.

1: Always make sure you boot into recovery and format data after flashing it.

2: By decluding this file it might mean in some cases your userdata partition might still be corrupt. If that is the case, you should download the full decrypted ofp and flash it.
