It didnt actually help anyone, just added more complications. I decided to take it down and leave people to wait for factory images. There are too many people here with no former experience banging away on keyboards then expecting help, stop creating problems n have patience to learn ir wait.

You guys should have backups, I posted my boot, then got asked for my system which has all my apps and data in.... cba.

Why am I the only razer owner on Three with any common sense?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mikeandjaimie:
Exactly.. It seems that all the, no offense, rooting noobs are bricking there devices cause they can't follow directions or troubleshoot there own issues (most of which are rather easy to fix), then want you to hold there hand or do everything for them. I tried to help for a while but the back and forth on this and other threads got pretty repeatative and were taking over the whole threads so I stopped answering issues that can be answered with a quick google or xda search or basic troubleshooting.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CptClubs:
Im glad you agree and that I wasn't flamed hard for that but I figured it was provoking more harm than good.

Also I think its fair to say this should be on Razer for not providing files that seem standard in the mobile industry to provide. Hopefully the increase in need for them give Razer a kick!
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rainbowkittypaw:
I'm not sure. ^ ^'

Well my Three device is fine but I wanted the boot.img anyway because I have no idea how to make a boot.img from the Full TWRP Backup I made whilst still in Read-Only mode.

If you don't wanna pm me a private link I'll understand as it's not your job. Like you said, its Razer's job.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CptClubs:
If you open up your backup folder you have you'll find one of the files is a backup of your boot.

Also when you restore in Twrp you have the option to just restore the boot even from a 'full' backup.

Mine also was a backup done in twrp, so not a .img file. Still only restorable in twrp, the same as yours, like I said originally on the post you quoted me in?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rainbowkittypaw:
Ah I see. Im aware that a restore of only the boot can be done, its just that when you referred to boot, it wasnt clear as to if it were an .img file or not.

Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for this....my only concern is that when I restore through twrp these are the exact images which were posted initially leaving us stranded corrupted until factory images are released..I'm concerned twrp restore might be leaving out a crucial piece of the restore ultimately leaving us corrupted until we can push the factory images through with cpu push commands?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Aburel18:
No clue mate . My phone is dead I will order an £30 phone from Amazon from now. I will wait till they release the factory image I will make it back stable and I will sell it . This is first time when I bought a phone and I don't have a factory image to flash in case of danger . Don't worry no more razer phone for me from now on
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Aburel18:

[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kirschdog1:
I'm ready to rock if you want to send me instructions on how you got yourself running again after being corrupted..I really appreciate the time and help. Seriously it means a lot.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mikeandjaimie:
It's not razer fault you unlocked the bootloader, voiding the warranty, then proceeded to flash something that is maybe beta quality, messed up the procedure when it was stated repeatedly there wasn't a way to fix it if you did, and before any factory images were released.

BTW most companies don't have images out immediately upon release, and razer is more focused on fixing the current issues. They will release them once they have a bug free (mostly) quality system.. Why would they release images that have the inferior software? Sure they jumped the gun on the software, but you got impatient
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kirschdog1:
Thanks for stating the obvious. Are you on these threads to help or hinder those who make mistakes. I see you started out helping but that has slowly adapted to making people feel smaller then they already do given they f'd up. Please if your not on these threads to help leave your two cents to yourself. Xda is for development and helping each other out when we do get stuck not for putting others down who make mistakes.

Razer has had 2 months to realase factory images which should have been out a month ago. No sense in defending them just because you have the phone....any other company would have had those out by now. Not impressed by razers lack of communication and follow through on there end. Anyways good day and try and keep the peace good sir.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mikeandjaimie:
I help people all the time, but when people skip following instructions then mess things up and want people to do it all for them, then I see no point. As I said.. Most of this stuff can be answered with a google search or basic troubleshooting, asking the same things as everyone around you after they been already been answered doesn't do anyone any good, or find results.

As you said, these are developers forums.. Advanced stuff, designed for people who have some experience with windiws/rooting/roms/etc. If you are a beginner then you shouldn't be jumping into unproven territory without reading everything you can before you ask questions or actually do it. We are a community of helpers and have been for years, but in an advanced forum we shouldn't be explaining basic how-to's or answering basic questions repeatedly.

Person I replied to was blaming razer for his issues because he doesn't have factory images to fix something he probably shouldn't have done to begin with. It seemed the obvious needed to be stated.

I will continue to help people who have exhausted there knowledge or answer questions that haven't been already asked and answered, as I always have, but when it becomes obvious they want to have there hand held through it all, I will stop, as I always have.

Razer did drop the ball software wise at launch as I said, but fixing what is broken first is more important than publishing factory images for subpar software.

I'm sorry you and a few others are stuck in the situation you are right now, but that's kind of the price we pay by doing this right? I bricked more than one device in the old days where you couldn't just flash back to stock so I've been there, but it's a gamble I chose to take, as did each of you.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] steviegolf:
I agree with that :)
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hikari_calyx:
I think Razer Phone is also made by FIH, after I watched the teardown video.

I'm working on Nokia 7/8 root, which also uses the AB partition scheme and the bootlocker isn't unlockable currently.

Can you try to install OST LA provided in this topic?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3678487

After you installed OST LA and patched it, just open it, click next, and connect your phone when your phone is powered off.

This will make your phone boot to Download mode (Fastboot mode) directly.

Also, do you think it's possible to remove the dm-verity or something else to bypass verification on boot.img that uses the AB partition scheme just on PC?

fastboot.exe: unknown option -- set-active=[ * ]

Hi guys ^^, i have a problem during the installation process , when i try to switch partition in the command prompt with fastboot :

" fastboot --set-active=_a " ( my current partition is b )

this message appear :

" fastboot.exe: unknown option -- set-active=_a "

and i cannot go any further in the installation process ...

Im from france so my model is an european version , i ve tried the syntax raimondomartire have founded and add " i 0x1532 " to the command :

" fastboot i 0x1532 --set-active=_a"

but i have the same error :

" fastboot.exe: unknown option -- set-active=_a "

I think ADB is fine because i can reboot and check my current partition with the previous command but when im in fastboot ...

Its strange because when i had unlock the bootloader previously i didnt had a problem like this ...

Did i miss something ?

Anyone pls help me ^^

Ps : Sorry for my bad english im so ... french ^^
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CptClubs:
This is a driver problem which has been covered.

Update your fastboot and adb drivers.

Windows manager, right click, install from disk and manually choose driver. :good:

So been running great with Root since this was released. Decided to try to reboot into TWRP and wipe cache and Dalvik and make a back up....Cant get into TWRP anyway I try (adb reboot recovery, volume key up and cords, and Xposed reboot menu choosing recovery). Anyone else having this issue?

I have found the latest driver for adb and fastboot .

Then i 've installed both and now when im fastboot mode ( download ) my device in device manager is now called " Android Bootloader Interface " under " SAMSUNG android phone " .

This is normal ?

Then when i try to go to c:/windows/adb for execute the powershell and write the following command :

fastboot devices

I have a blank line in response ... ( no response ) ...

[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CptClubs:
[MENTION=8857126]Maaviss[/MENTION]

Search online man. Then read unlock bootloader thread. And dont use powershell, use cmd prompt.

[EDIT]

This: http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/

N it shouldn't be blank, try loading fastboot just holding the volume control whilst plugging in the usb. I had trouble when rebooting from adb or using powershell.

A lot has been covered here though man in the early pages of all the threads, its take a while but worth a read.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Maaviss:
Thanks dude , im gonna check that ^^ .
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SirBarclay:
Confusing.

The steps have confused me a bit.

It says to reboot from TWRP and use the device as normal but... how?

I've done the steps involved but I kept being sent back to TWRP, my phone wont boot back to normal.

I've tried restoring my backup through TWRP too but it just does the same. Keeps sending me back to TWRP, no matter if I select Slot A or Slot B.

Not sure if I'm supposed to be doing something different?

EDIT: Nevermind, solved it. For some reason switching the boot slot wasn't working properly when in TWRP. Just just fiddled around with it and managed to get it to boot.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BakaSenpai:
So it looks like Razer just released an OTA update for our phone.

My question is..now that I have root and twrp, what the steps to get this installed properly? Restore the System, Sytem IMG, Boot, and Data partitions?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mikeandjaimie:
I tried to reset to stock using the other boot IMG posted but when I try to install the ota it won't install.. Downloads, gets to step 1 then says can't install :(
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BakaSenpai:
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to think you'll have to oem lock your phone and then install?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mikeandjaimie:
I did relock the bootloader with Fastboot flashing lock and then went into developer options and turned off oem unlocking.. Still get the error.. Would like to know if anyone else who relocked and went back to stock has been able to do the update
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kirschdog1:
Oh man that sucks.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BakaSenpai:
I think what I may try doing is wiping the active partition (system, system image,boot and etc) restore both a&b partitions and then try an update...since twrp is technically installed on both partitions..maybe should wipe the other partition is well? :confused::confused:
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] charlie.s:
No progress here either. I would like to try Flashfire, which in principle should allow flashing the OTA update directly. I was unable to locate the update file in the cache folder, and now for some reason,my phone reports that there are no updates available. I am stuck at the previous version.

Does anyone have a copy of the OTA? If I manage to snag that, Flashfire should permit me to update while retaining root.

Thanks in advance.

https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../9c94f7c8f66de9adcbcbe62704da61b3090f8206.zip

That's the link for the ota a developer I know snagged from his phone.. Let us know if you get it working
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] charlie.s:
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried to update with Flashfire to no avail. The app starts updating, says it is going into full-screen mode and then the screen is black and the phone is unresponsive. I was able to recover with power and volume-up, but there is no update performed.I am at the limit of my knowledge and hoping for someone with a little more expertise to help us out. My phone still says it is up to date with the September update :(

Edit: I snagged this from the Flashfire documentation:

"A/B incremental OTA

This is the default type of OTA on slot-based devices. Generally this type of OTA requires the /system, /vendor and /oem partitions to be completely unmodified stock - bit-by-bit exact copies. Even remounting these partitions in writable mode once may make this type of OTA unflashable. The original modem/radio images may also be required. Stock boot image is usually required."

Hmm, this could be the answer, though at this point, I am hesitant to proceed. I don't need another paperweight.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] charlie.s:
Has anyone made any progress yet restoring to stock? I 'm rooted with Magisk installed and have not been able to revert. I'd sure like to update.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CptClubs:
Not sure if you'll get the update, if any modifications are done to the system then most people have found the update doesn't install.

I did revert my phone for RMA, to do so I only restored the boot and data on both partition (switching in the reboot section then) rebooted into stock recovery and factory wiped.

Like I said though any mods were still there for me, but it did boot no problem.

Hope this helps.

Deez Troys wondering since this phone was donated to you if you could update your system and then attempt to get twrp working with the newest update. Or possibly just let us know why people can't take the update once twrp is installed? Thanks for all you do.

Guys I have a question and probably been answered many times before however I tried my best and can't get it to work. I flashed some zip file and messed up my phone and I couldn't get my phone to work so I flashed the system and boot backup and now I keep booting into twrp .I have an unmodified US backup for boot and system but no matter what slot a or b everytime I flash the boot back I keep going into twrp. Is there anyway to get my phone running again? thank you very much.

Its mean, that active slot is not flashed with stock boot. Or you flashing modified boot with TWRP.

Ok now that we have the factory images. Can someone who is corrupted verify the factory images fix the phone?
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] tabletalker7:
It fixed mine. Just two things to keep in mind while doing this

1. Follow their instructions (never knew about the possibility of a command to "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" before this recovery process here tonight)

2. When you download and unzip their factory image, it will unzip into two folders - one for mac and one for windows. I can't speak for the mac version but I had to copy and paste everything from the windows version into the same folder that has my fastboot and adb tools for the script to work.

It will take it a while but it does show in the command propmt what exactly is going on. Be patient and let it happen. It works!
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Swamphound:
You can use this tutorial and run fastboot from the unzipped factory image folder so you don't have to copy and paste into your platform-tools folder. The first method worked great for me. https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Flippy125:
I bricked my phone messing with things last night, and confirmed that it resolves the issue. You will initially get errors about not being able to flash to critical partitions, but you can ignore that and wait. It will eventually start flashing the system images and other partitions. I attempted to resolve the critical partition error with 'fastboot flashing unlock_critical', which succeeds, but does not remove the errors. Once the phone completes its final reboot you should see it start to boot into the OS.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] thatruth132:
So I got the stock files from Razer site and got it back working

What I did was hold down the volume down and power button thru all the messages saying device corrupted and let reboot a couple of times and let it go when it starts to do a sort of boot loop while watching my computer's device manager page and after a few it booted into download mode but once you get into download mode you have to use the fastboot flashing critical unlock command first then after it will or should reboot back into download after that you run the flash all .bat file that comes with files from Razer after that I had to reboot 3 times to get the phone to connect after that I was good.
[Razer Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] orion4000:
Guys does anyone know how access to Qualcomm emergency interface on razer phone? My device is corrupted with (this device has failed verification) error message. I can access to download mode no problem but I did a stupid mistake and locked my bootloader and any command I give over adb gets (failed :flash not allowed) so I have no way to retrieve my phone to a working state without sending it back RMA which is I really don't want to do without trying all options. Any suggestion is much appreciated.
