[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Burginthorn:
I've been a Samsung Note fan since forever. Started with the Note 2 which still works running Bean Stalk ROM. Note 4 running Bean Stalk still going strong. My current phone is the Note 5 which I recently dropped and cracked the rear glass. Since then its been somewhat unstable. Press messages or phone and it takes around 10-15 seconds before the app opens. Little things like that. Did some searching and sure the Note 8 looks the business but I'm kind of thinking maybe the Note isn't for me anymore and came across the Razer Phone. At the moment there are some good prices for the Razer Phone and I was certain to get one. Checked it out and seen all the issues people are having with it, the camera, which is no deal breaker for me. Screen brightness isn't a problem I'd worry about. Updates are slow, but again, not a deal breaker for me. It looks the business, I really love the design. The speakers look the business too and I love love love a loud phone.

But before I commit to purchase I knew I'd have to see what's happening on XDA, what ROMs are available for it, mods, and just the general communities developments on what I would consider a pretty awesome device. I am shocked! this place is almost dead?

I understand its Razer's first phone and it isn't perfect. What is? And I understand the current issues it has and the price point combined with the issues might put some off getting one. But I didn't expect such little interest and little development here on XDA? If there was any place that would be alive and kicking the Razer it would be here. Now I'm not too sure about getting one. And that sucks because I really like it. Bookmarked some sites for screen protector and found a couple of really nice cases for it. But half the fun of owning a device is the development put into it by the community. The ROMs to try, the mods, the enhancements to features and functions. Its all part of the experience that makes owning an android phone unique and fun.

What happened with the Razer Phone? Really disappointed. So, talk me into it, or talk me out of it. Should I get one? If so why? If not, why? You guys own one, best to talk to people who own one I guess. Will it improve? Is this a dying community? Does Razer have a future on XDA? :confused:
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] el4nimal:
In my opinion, it's a pretty good phone. It performs very fast, and the 120hz screen really makes a difference for me, mostly when I'm scrolling. The display was brigther than I expected, and I don't think the camera is bad, I can take decent pictures with it, but not better than the ones I could take with my Note 5. The sound is really amazing and loud.

The problem is that it doesn't feel premium to me, for example, the crappy vibration motor that makes a weird rattling sound when I receive a notification. There are some apps that don't open (like Netflix for me). My keyboard sometimes gets super slow, or the figerprint not being able to detect my finger until I turn the screen off and on again.

I can deal with all that though. What does not make me feel 100% happy with this phone is the same reason you're mentioning, the lack of development. I bought this phone before checking xda, but I was hoping to see different choices of custom ROMs and apps to take more advantages of the amazing features of this phone. Until now, the closest thing I've seen has been the GSI (which I've tried, and come back to stock because couldnt deal with the bugs). Another thing that bothers me is that I haven't found how to install custom themes on my phone. The only way I know to install themes is Razer Theme store, but it doesn't have one that I like.

Overall, I think is a very good phone, loud, fast and sleek, but it doesn't like a Note 5 in terms of quality and developer community.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tabletalker7:
What happened to the Razer community? The Razer phone happened. I had one for a while, but the HORRIBLE stock software and HORRIBLE implementation of Project Treble support, to go along with the fact that I had to modify the stock fastboot flash files given to us from Razer just to make them flash on my Razer phone made me realize how good a company OnePlus really is. I got rid of the Razer phone as fast as I could and bought a OnePlus 6. It is kinda sad actually though. The hardware is great and I loved the look of the phone and the fact that it is metal instead of a glass sandwich. But nothing can make up for horrible software and even worse customer support.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
The only advantage of the lack of development and community support is the fact that it's really pushed prices down as most peeps who buy these beasts anticipate activity on xda. However with dev support being dead the phone, s prices are tumbling and when you really look at it, it's a great phone after all.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ZiCott:
Overall, I am happy with my Razer, and dont have anything major to complain about. Yes, its not perfect, but I am hoping LINDA comes along soon, and I am sure additional development will come as well. Screen is great, Audio is great.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Latest TWRP doesn't support Android Pie 9.0 for OnePlus 6, or at least for me it didn't.

So, I've made a Magisk patched boot image for Android P that we can flash it in fastboot bootloader.

Note: This is not Oxygen OS ROM, this is just a patched boot img for Oxygen OS to make root work. You need to unlock the bootloader before proceeding with anything.

Note 2: Please disable Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager before flashing the patched boot, because some modules might not support the latest OOS and your device will bootloop. If the modules has been updated by the devs to support the latest OOS you can install the modules after that.

Note 3: Sorry guys, I haven't tested the Android Q Developer Previews. Even though Magisk is supported on Q, please flash it at your own risk.

For older versions download from here: Google Drive

Folder updated with Stock boot images as well.

Thanks [MENTION=4878960]vlaf[/MENTION]

reboot to system (if you make another reboot the root won't stick, so continue with the following steps)

Open Magisk (in settings select beta channel) and click install and install Magisk again with Direct Install (recommended)

reboot again and the root will stick even after the reboot.

The thread I followed for the instructions is here. Thanks for [MENTION=1894196]b1czu[/MENTION]

Even easier way to root without TWRP:

1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).

2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).

3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well. :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raymond.William:
wow dude that's useful. I don't need TWRP that bad but I need root to use Titanium backups.

Not work here. Bootloop, only see Bootanimation not more.

Are you using Android P Developer Preview 3?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
If you are I can give you the stock boot image for reverting it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpectraFun:

I'm not really sure why it didn't work for you. Sorry about that.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
Yeah I did, but I rebooted an additional time and everything works now!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSteelX:
Easy way to install twrp is to fastboot boot twrp. From there, you must turn on adb sideload and push twrp to phone because it will not decrypt storage. After install, reboot to recover and it will ask for password to decrypt. Then just flash magisk to have root with working twrp. Also, you have to use twrp 3.2.2 or it will crash.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
That's great.

could you update first post with the correct flash command

fastboot flash boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img

this is how to flash the patched img directly to boot.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snark_be:
The first post contains the right command.

"fastboot boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img" will boot the smartphone on the patched boot image without installing it. It will give a temporary root allowing you to install Magisk, but at the next reboot the previous boot image will be used. And Magisk will be installed.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSteelX:

Sorry for noob question....can you please tell me difference between Stock boot & Patched boot ? & why we use Patched boot ? It's required for Root ?

Thanks in advance ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ash110:
If we flashed the patched boot image on Beta 6, can we update it normally next time we get an OTA, or is there any other special function?

Also, does flashing patched boot cause any data loss?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Stock boot is the one that comes with the update.

Patched boot the one that has been patched with Magisk Manager to flash in Bootloader and acquire root without the need for TWRP, that's the main purpose of this thread.

With the latest Magisk Manager update you can root without TWRP using the A/B inactive slot. That's even more easier that this method.

I'm updating this thread just in case someone needs this patched and stock boot img separately.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Yes, you can normally do an OTA update but you'll lose the root.

So, you gonna have to flash the patched boot img after the next update using the given instructions again.

If you don't wanna do this all over again you can simply install the OTA, before restarting the phone just goto Magisk Manager,

Press install and click install again, you'll get an options like:

1. Download Zip Only

2. Patch Boot Image File

3. Direct Install

4. Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA) (Choose this)

and after installing the Magisk then press reboot.

After the reboot your phone will be updated with the latest OOS with root, this method is the easiest one available right now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ash110:
Thanks for the information. If I flash the patched boot now, will I lose any data? Will it wipe?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
It won't wipe. If you flash the wrong boot img it might bootloop. For example if you flash the OB5 boot img to OB6 it will bootloop. You can fix it easily by flashing the correct boot img.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ash110:
Wait, do I need to unlock bootloader in any other way before flashing this? I just enabled OEM unlock from developer settings, but bootloader still shows locked and fastboot flash fails. Do I need to perform fastboot unlock bootloader, which wipes my data?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faye Reagan:
Yeah you need to unlock the bootloader to boot into patched boot.img

Can you please tell me it's good to Flash a custom kernel ?

Coz I'm a Gaming Youtuber playing online Fps games ?

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Yes you can flash any supported custom kernel for OP6.

Just make sure if it's supported for Oxygen OS. Coz you cannot flash custom ROMs kernel to OOS.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Really sorry, works been hectic for me. I'm doing this in my free time as soon as OOS released I patch the img and post it here.

Anyone can do it. If it bootloops it's most probably with the modules you activated beforehand. Try to uninstall those modules and try flashing again.

With root not sticking issue, please follow the instructions fully it'll definitely work.

If this doesn't work for some people I already posted about Magisk A/B slot update. That'll definitely work. It's basically a same thing instead of flashing the patched img manually it uses the inactive slot to install the Magisk again. That's the most convenient way.

And fyi. Don't lock your bootloader again. You'll lose all the data. Sometimes even worse, it'll brick your phone. Then you've to fastboot flash OOS to make your phone work again.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Did you follow the instructions fully?

If you lose the root after reboot then you have to follow the instructions completely.

If you don't lose root after reboot and you lose the root after some days randomly may be you must've installed some other modified img or it's Magisk issue.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] noncomjd:
I followed the instructions to the letter a few times. I actually wiped the phone and began over three times to ensure I did it correctly.

I only used file indicated and I dumped it each time and downloaded it again to ensure it was the original file.

I booted a few times and root remained, it seemed to lose root at random interval each time. I only noticed it when I started getting notifications that a "new version of Magisk was available" (which turned out to be the version of Magisk I had "already" installed).

I'm sure it was a Magisk issue or something else unique to my phone.

I was hoping that maybe someone else had the issue and found a cause or workaround. I by-passed this method by utilizing TWRP, it's more of pain (in more way than one) than your method but I wanted to keep root.

Thanks for reaching out and all your efforts, much appreciated.
