Had to manually edit it while unlocking the bootloader and it stayed on ADB bootloader interface when I had it reboot to bootloader again.

I'll try again tomorrow

Fixed the "waiting for device" "error" by selecting the older Android Bootloader Interface driver.

Now everything worked and my device is rooted!

Nice guide.

Wondering if I'm missing something. Getting the error "FAILED (remote: BootCMD is not allowed in Lock State)" when attempting to boot the twrp image.

I have USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled.

PS: Found out the hard way, don't use the provided USB-C cable that came with your Razer phone, USB-A to USB-C cable recommended.

so i did this and here is my only question. Does flashing twrp and magisk inside twrp, install them into both slot a and b? or no. if no then is there a need to manually switch slots and reflash magisk for example?

Does this method cause a facotry reset?

This seems alot easier than the other methods.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SeriousFlash:
It's that easy because of Oreo and the stuff that comes with it. If your bootloader is already unlocked it won't need a factory reset but if not unlocking your bootloader will erase all data on the phone.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] askylitangel:
Is it best to do with a SD card in the phone or can you do it without?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] askylitangel:
So doing this without an SD Card at the mo and I get the waiting on device when trying to do fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img

Any help?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
Having an sdcard in the device means nothing unless your trying to boot from sdcard...

You're stuck at that point because your fastboot drivers aren't installed or incorrectly. There have been many posts throughout the forum on troubleshooting the drivers, Google search.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] askylitangel:
Makes no sense though seeing as I opened the bootloader about 20 minutes before trying to flash
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
Entirely new to the game? Yeah, fastboot drivers are windows side.... Not device side
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] askylitangel:
Yea I've had an iPhone for years so this is all new to me. But confused to why the fastboot driver worked when i unlocked the bootloader but not now. Do I need to reinstall them?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
Try rebooting both the computer and device, using a different USB cord, different USB port, Etc. If none of the above works, I don't what to tell you.

I have 7.1.1 and rooted my phone using this guide https://xdaforums.com/razer-phone/how-to/twrp-magisk-fullproof-guide-razers-wifi-t3756137

I should mention that I have the same problem that others had where slot A flashed fine but slot B wouldn't flash, phone still works great.

Anyway, I want to update to 8.1, preferably without wiping my data. Can anyone point me to a guide? I am weary that no one explicitly says how to update with out losing root/TWRP or at least updating then reestablishing root/TWRP. Do I just OTA update then follow the OP of this thread?

Thanks!
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
The correct command would be fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img

If the OTA update is successful then you will need to flash TWRP and root again with Magisk.

If the OTA update fails (Due to root / modified system. Not sure if Razer checks this) then you can flash the updated factory image via download mode. I deleted the "Erase" lines from the "flash_all.bat" just to be on the safe side. As before you'll need to re install TWRP and re-root AFTER booting to system (To complete the upgrade process).

Just in case make a Nandroid backup before you try either option! Include everything in the backup (images, modems, etc.)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Technomancer7:
Hi guys,

Kind of new to this scene but have rooted a couple of old galaxies and do follow instructions well (not totally clueless!) but I'm stuck at the start as the SD card refuses to show itself on my pc when the phone is connected.

It's in 'file transfer mode', I've tried a couple of different cables, I believe the card is formatted properly as internal storage as I have plenty of apps on it and the card is not fake etc as I've used it on multiple devices with no issue.

Any help greatly appreciated. Eager to get my razer rooted but stuck at the first hurdle!
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
This threw me off too as I've never had a phone with this feature before. :o

You need to format your SD card for removable storage (The other option) so it is read by android and your PC as an SD card. Formatting for internal storage uses the SD card to expand the devices internal memory enabling you to install apps / games / etc on the card. (Think of it like expanding your phones internal memory as opposed to adding another storage device)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Technomancer7:
Ahh, that makes sense to me now. Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated!

Hopefully I can crack on and get rooted now :laugh:
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
No worries!

I found this guide very helpful: https://xdaforums.com/razer-phone/how-to/twrp-magisk-fullproof-guide-razers-wifi-t3756137

Read the whole guide first though, the part for clean phones is near the end of the post.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tambukey:
Based on this thread, we don't need to follow the old guide if we are stock on the latest ota right? Just unlock bootloader, then follow OP instructions?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
Indeed, but if for some reason your wifi stops working after rooting the previous guide worked for me. It's also useful if you mess up and need to start over. :)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tambukey:
Awesome. I haven't had this phone long and just updated it as soon as I got it to the latest Oreo ota. I'm so used to just rooting and modding right away, but for some reason I want to hold off on this. Probably because the last one caused me so many issues later in it's life. Does this method have a problem with the wifi?

From everything I have read by getting on Oreo it seems to have fixed all the hard issues with the stock nougat rom. Correct me if I'm wrong, but now you can just unlock bootloader like normal in developer options( I've already done this on mine, but we don't need to do more right? Like this is null and void? Guide to unlocking the Bootloader) And so long as the drivers for ADB are on the latest versions, and using a usb-c to usb-a chord, the phone is now super easy to root and install TWRP?(I hope it's all true cause then it's like back in the good ol' days)

Edit: Also random question as I have never encrypted my phones before. I installed the Oreo update before ever setting up the device and it was encrypted automatically. Does any one know if this affects twrp or root? I know on my last device the rom didn't support encryption yet ( pretty experimental rom) and the Oreo version of TWRP for that device encrypted the phone but at the time couldn't decrypt. Do I even need to bother about the encryption for this to work?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
Here are the official instructions to unlocking the bootloader from Razer, the option in the developer menu is to allow unlocking: https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/general-instructions/

The guide you linked to looks accurate comparing it to the official instructions. Just be aware that unlocking the bootloader will factory reset your device.

This is both one of the easiest and hardest devices I have rooted. It should have been straightforward but I had an issue where I needed to add the fastboot -i 0x1532 prefix to all fastboot commands but I couldn't find this documented anywhere so I was going in circles for hours. Luckily I stumbled upon it on these forums and if you run into the same issue it won't be a problem for you :highfive:.

FYI my phone is encrypted and TWRP / root is working just fine.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tambukey:
Thanks for that. I have been piecing together what I could for this device and this seems like the most complete. That is annoying for the fastboot thing, but not that big of a deal. Either way I am happy that Razer seems to have at least not made it difficult for us compared to a lot of other devices. I'll probably hold off on rooting for a while and just use adb access for things I need.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
If that command is used, it will write TWRP to boot and screw up things. You don't want fastboot to flash it. You only want fastboot to boot it, then let TWRP flash the zip so it properly modifies boot a and b at the same time.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
Ahh, that would explain why you need to re-flash the stock boot.img in TWRP before flashing the zip when following the other guide. Gotcha.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] PukkaVXR:
Good afternoon everyone,

I am new to the "rooting" scene and am looking for some help. I am trying to follow the tutorial on here to root and install magisk onto my new Razer on Oreo 8.1.

When I run the command "ADB Devices", my phone is displayed and I am able to execute the command "ADB Reboot Bootloader".

But it is at this point I get stuck, If i run the command "fastboot -i 0x1532" to show my device, it does not show up. Furthermore, When i try to proceed with the tutorial, I get stuck on "Waiting for device".

Some help or direction would be appretiated.

Thank you.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
First off your phone should display "Download mode" on screen if done correctly.

Try "fastboot devices" first in case you don't need to use the "-i 0x1532" prefix.

If that doesn't work try "fastboot -i 0x1532 devices".

If neither of the above work it is most likely a driver issue. Check device manager and ensure you have the bootloader driver installed. (Not ADB, Fastboot Bootloader)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] PukkaVXR:
Thank you, I have been called in to work but I shall try this method once I'm back home.

I can confirm that I was in download mode and the device was just showing as "Android device" in my device manager.

I tried using the SDK to install the Google USB drivers but it didn't work.

When I'm home I will try and manually update the driver from disk and selecting Bootloader instead of ADB Fastboot.

Thank you for your help sir, I will post back with updates in roughly 7/8 hours.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] PukkaVXR:
Still not working. Well, kind of.

I have installed the drivers and when I type fastboot -i 0x1532 devices, my device shows up.

But after that step, when I type fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img, it is stuck on waiting for device.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Azurren:
You'll need to replace every "fastboot" command you use with "fastboot -i 0x1532".

So for example "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img" becomes "fastboot -i 0x1532 boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img"

This is a recovery and guide built for the Razer Phone, using it on any other device will at best fail or result in a brick.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the Allwinner T8 so I can't point you in the right direction of how to go about rooting / flashing custom recoveries.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] raze5115:
Is this phone's rooting method easier than the lg v20's dirtycow method? To me it seems just as complicated. And is this less prone to hard bricks than the dirtycow rooting method? I've rooted plenty of galaxy phones before and rooted a lg v20 with the dirtycow method and was thoroughly impressed with how prone the dirtycow method was to hard bricks. This will be my first razer phone. Or is this method just as easy as the odin galaxy method and less prone to hard bricks just like the odin galaxy method?

Sorry for the late reply, I'll add a screenshot later today. So people with similar issues can solve them easier.

So, I've got new hardware and no fastboot drivers etc. installed but it should be doable without any screenshots, everything would be german anyways:

1. go to hardware management and right click the razer phone device

2. click device update

3. choose local

4. choose list from your pc

5. try all the drivers for adb/fastboot

for me some older ones from like 2014 worked and not the most recent from google which were adviced by op and also the op from the fool proof guide

I'm to the point that I am trying to boot to twrp, but when I run the command "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.2-0-cheryl.img" It comes back with a "No such file or directory found" Does this method only work with v3.2.1? Should I be putting the actual .img file directly in the root of my sdCard?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chris5s:
It doesn't need to be on the sdcard. Just make sure you include the file path when running the terminal command. Or if using Linux open a terminal in the folder you have the image stored in.

"Windows: open a command prompt at that directory"
