I don't have a carrier splash screen. Just the razer logo and the swirly green screen, and now the lineage screen.

I reflashed again and am back to the setup screen, still not detecting the SIM. Tried restarting and reinserting SIM.

I can skip all the setup stuff to get to the android home screen, so it seems to be installed correctly.

The settings does show my IMEI, but everything under SIM status says Not available.

I have Verizon if it makes a difference?

Edit: Is there an older version of the ROM I can try? It seems that they've been removed from the sourceforge page.

Edit 2: Nevermind, googling brought me to the page with the 713 build, going to try that one.

Edit 3: The older build didn't work. I went through and reflashed everything from the beginning again. Still no SIM detection. However, I noticed this time that when I popped out my SIM and put it back in, on the lockscreen at the top it says Verizon, so it recognizes something even though the SIM menu shows none available. I'm going to try and reflash the stock razer img now to see if it works.

Edit 4: Apparently I'm stuck. It's not letting me flash back to stock. Going to keep trying other threads on this subject to try and get a working img file.

Edit 5: Success, I'm back to stock and everything is working. My main 3 cords were not working, the working cord ended up being a cheaper one from Amazon I purchased years ago. If anyone has any ideas on why the SIM wasn't detected on Lineage, I'm all ears. I'd love to try it out.

Hey Usyless, Long story short, for unlocking the bootloader. I just used the unlocking bootloader option in the menu on the phone once booted into download mode instead of using ABD. Are they the same?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
No it is not the same thing, the command in the bootloader will only unlock the normal partitions, while with adb you unlock both CRITICAL and NORMAL partitions.

This is important as if you want to reflash stock or install a gsi (not sure about the gsi part but you NEED it to install stock) you will have to have CRITICAL partitions unlocked too.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
I see. I will redo then. Had been putting it off and haven't figured out how to get the computer to regonize the phone :( Going to borrow a computer next. Appreciate the timely help!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
You could always try to use a Linux VM to get it to work, as mine always worked but after the latest windows update it broke, but I used a Linux virtual machine with usb pass through and it works again.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Is it pretty straight forward for a noob? :o Haven't messed with it before. Already borrowed a laptop, will look into Linux VM if still no luck. Thanks for the heads up though!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
good luck!

if you need more help with Linux if the laptop doesn't work then just respond and I'll send all the instructions
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
You rock man! Will do. :good:
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Success!! It's more exciting than getting a new phone. LOL:laugh: Thanks again for the awesome guide and help all along!

Now, to bug you for the last time, is there any must-have mods you would personally recommend? :D
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Anything I would recommend hmm, try my camera fix mods as they're useful (another XDA thread in the razer phone 2 section)

Another useful mod is the aptx Bluetooth codecs mod if you use Bluetooth headphones. (from magisk downloads section)

Also make sure to install the arcore mod (from magisk downloads section)

Also are you on a GSI or just root? and which launcher do you use.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Of course GSI, that's the whole point. Haha

Yes, I've seen the camera mod you did. Going to grab it. I do use Bluetooth headphones. Knew I could get something out of you!:laugh:

I'm on the default launcher. Anything might be better?

A couple of questions onthe GSI, is it missing the option to show battery in percentage? Is it normal to see 4g+ instead of LTE?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
1. Yes the 4g+ thing is normal

2. There is an option in the status bar settings somewhere, I can't remember where but it is there.

3. I recommend using quickswitch magisk module and the latest lawnchair from apkmirror, then open the quickswitch app it installs when installing the module and set lawnchair as the default recents provider.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Got you! Appreciate it!!:good:
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Hey yo, I started getting error message on Bluetooth (Bluetooth keeps stopping). I did follow the bluetooth fix during the installation tho. Any idea? Thanks!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Okay so that does mean there was an issue or something and that you didn't delete the two files before first boot?

Or maybe it was due to the dalvik cache not being cleared.

You will have to factory reset :(

So make a Google backup of whatever your apps are, and photos and other files back up elsewhere or don't if you don't care about them.

1. Go into the recovery, mount vendor, go into the file explorer and make sure the two files (from /vendor/overlay)ARE GONE.

2. If you are sure that they are gone then go to WIPE and slide to factory reset, then after that go to advanced wipe, select "ART/ Dalvik Cache" and then wipe that.

3. After that you need to refollow the instructions to install a GSI and root just skipping the first step to remove the two vendor files.

I have had somebody else have this issue before aswell but a factory reset, dalvik cache clear and reinstall of the gsi, magisk and gapps fixed it.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Good to hear I'm not the only one. For what it's worth, looks like I'm having issue with wifi too. Going to redo after work. Appreciate the instruction as always!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Hey "Super useful",

Hope you are doing well. The rom has been running pretty flawlessly except for the usb connection, at first, wired headphone doesn't work which I didn't care much as I don't use it much and have ordered a set of wireless one. Now, the big problem is the phone doesn't pop up the options at all when connected to the computer, I mean the menu for things like charging only or file transfer etc. Do you have any idea on the reason?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Oh hello again, now what you've described seems like maybe a damaged USBC port (specifically the data pins).

As to transfer audio data or data from your computer you need --> working data transfer

So it might be your port :(

Maybe try a different cable but there's not much more to do after that.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Turned out to be a false alarm ?. It was the cable... It didn't occur to me to check that at first was because the port on my phone is in pretty good shape and so is the cable. Thanks for your right suggestion! ?

Since I got you here, any clue on why the option to turn on "Hey Google" under Google assistant is grayed out? Activation by gesture works fine.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dashaquavius:
I guess that means I'm stuck ...

I'm on T-Mobile, so I guess I have to wait for an official LineageOS rom to drop for Android 10 or 11. Bummer.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Okay this thing I have no idea...

maybe try searching in some different settings? or try disable personalised results on lock screen to see if it shows up again

its not a LOS issue, maybe just a conflict of settings or you're in the wrong settings menu as I know that Google assistant has a few
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
yeah it's a RIP, sorry about that but I can't do anything
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
No worries. Wasn't exactly expecting an answer to something of that nature. I'll keep poking aorund;)
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MegaJuif:
arter97 kernel r14

first thank you soooo much, it worked like a charm im using lineage 17.

i used the r12 kernel, but can i use the r14 or it isnt recommended ?

im not a pro, its my only phone and i dont want the break anything.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
id recommend sticking with r12, it has less issues with encryption, speed and factory resetting.

there is nothing wrong with r14 it's just with my (and a few others) experiences it's been not the best and r12 doesn't seem to have any issues except for the double install needed.

if you don't do any heavy system modifications nothing should break, if you ever install a magisk module and your phone won't boot, do this

open TWRP > mount data > go to advanced > file manager > locate /data/adb/modules > delete the magisk module that caused the bootloop folder.

if you ever need any help in the future I'm here :)
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MegaJuif:
It works flawless, arcore is the only module i have, because i dont wanna mess to much with magisk.

Any recommendation on modules that cab be usefull?

Thank you so much again, you gave a second life to my phone, started to hate that my gf got android 11 while i was still sitting on pie.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
I mean we may have android 11 eventually (doesn't boot now) so I'll try and update this :)

magisk modules that can be useful can be my camera fixes if you use Snapchat or Instagram a lot for the camera, or the 60fps fix for some stabilization at 60fps. (it's another post by me in this phones XDA)

also rboard is a cool gboard theming mod by RKBDI (also a rp2 user)

and iOS emojis are also cool to have, if you want any you can join the razer phone 2 telegram group and I'll forward them there, which is available here, and also if you need any other help that's the place to ask
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Hey my man,

Would you have step by step guide on how to flash back factory image including re-locking the boot loader if possible? By the way, which image should I choose for my Canadian version. https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/ Thanks a lot in advance!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Well there isn't a guide but I'll make one on the fly here, so from that website choose the latest AURA update.

Unzip that onto your pc, and move all of its components into the platform-tools folder from before.

Now on your phone, remove your password, then reboot to TWRP and factory reset and format data.

Then enter the bootloader, plug your phone into your pc, open a CMD window on your pc and type "cd C:/The path to the platform-tools folder" (like you did before in the guide), and once you're in that folder, type flash_all.bat

After that you should see the script running and it'll flash all of the necessary images.

After its completely done (you'll know this as you'll be able to type in the command prompt again). The phone will boot into the OS, just shut down again and re-enter the bootloader. (the first boot might take a few minutes)

Then in the same CMD window as before (or if you closed it just change directory to the platform-tools folder again), type

fastboot flashing lock_critical

fastboot flashing lock

each time you should get a confirmation on your phone and it'll restart a few times and have some spinny circles.

(Optional) After you run both commands and then finally boot back into the OS, go to developer settings and disable OEM unlocking (I say this is optional as it's always best to leave OEM unlocking on incase of anything going wrong so you can reflash and unlock the bootloader)

*Sorry for the bad formatting I'm on mobile*

And I hope this helps :)
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Man! What can I say. Appreciate it a ton for the effort on pulling it off on mobile. Wish I could buy you a beer:highfive:

You are a wonderful and capable human being:good::laugh:

Found a fix for Android 10 GSI Roms. Fixes volte and texting. Tested on the latest LineageOS and Bliss roms and works beautifully.

https://github.com/KhushrajRathod/VoLTE-Fix
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Can someone test this out and report back?

I am on USA AT&T using the Razer Phone 2.

I tried Lineage 17.1 with the 2 SMS fixes in the tread without any luck.

Thanks,

RJR
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
I'm currently using it. Tested it on Lineage before switching over to Bliss. Works beautifully!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
Who is your carrier tho?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
AT&T! I'm guessing the previous fixes posted by Ulysses are specific for Android 9, as they worked for me on Android 9 GSI Roms. The fix I posted is for Android 10. Works perfectly for me on both the latestest LineageOS and Bliss.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Are you in the US, using AT&T LTE?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
Yep yep. AT&T LTE in the US running the latest Bliss on Android 10.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Can you point me in the right direction of which BLISS ROM is working for you? Seems like there are allot of vairiants.

Thanks,

RJR
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
I'll pass this onto the group for others to test aswell, hopefully it works :)

I didn't get any notifications for some weird reason to this thread, when I have them on
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
How'd you get bliss working :D

I remember it not booting apparently before
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajicDroidPirate:
Hows everything else on Bliss W/sms fix? Does wifi calling, VOLTE, bluetooth call audio all work? Or only sms?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
This does not work on AOSP 10 v222 from Phh sadly
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Also confirming this does not work. Same issue as always. Can send mms/sms but cannot receive.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkestSpawn:
The only way I have ever gotten everything to work correctly was:

1) Download and install ims-q.apk https://treble.phh.me/ims-q.apk. Install it as a user app, then once it is finished move/convert it to a system app. (If you dont know how, move the folder from /data/app/org.codeaurora.ims#RANDOMLETTERSANDNUMBERS# to /system/app and fix permissions to 0755 (rwx-r-xr-x).

2) Download https://treble.phh.me/android.hardware.telephony.ims.xml from https://treble.phh.me/android.hardware.telephony.ims.xml and copy it to /system/etc/permissions and fix permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--)

I installed the most recent build from https://github.com/KhushrajRathod/VoLTE-Fix/releases First when I reinstalled the AOSP 10 v222 yesterday that didnt work then installed the above two over it. Doubt it makes a difference or enhances the original fixes.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
I used the factory image for MR3 and then took all updates to MR5 before installing arter's v14 kernel. Then I just followed this guide and it booted. Dropped my phone down to 3G before flashing that volte fix I posted, as the ones you posted also mentioned doing that before flashing the zips, and it worked for fixing sms.

I haven't tried WiFi calling or bluetooth calling but I'm assuming volte works as it is enabled and I use LTE where I'm at. Bluetooth audio works for music.

Try toggling 3G and then restarting your phone to flash the zip. Then bump back up to LTE and see if it works. The fixes Usyless posted suggested doing the same thing so I carried that over when flashing the zip I posted as a precaution.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Odd. I'm on Bliss right now and I only used the fix I posted. Toggled down to 3G before rebooting into TWRP then Factory reset -> install Bliss -> resized system partition -> flash gapps -> flash magisk -> flash fix -> reboot -> turn on LTE. Worked like a charm for me. Bliss has been insanely smooth even underclocked with big and little cores [MENTION=4691858]1.3[/MENTION]GHz with only 2 cores enabled. I use the per app profiles with FKM to enable a 3rd core for things like YouTube.

My only gripe with these GSI roms is that video streaming in fullscreen cuts off half of the screen if you aren't using 1440x2560.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajicDroidPirate:
VOLTE is voice over LTE meaning if your on a phone call you stay on LTE. Phones without VOLTE will drop to 4g or H+ when not on a phone call.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
I did not have any options in Bliss to between 3G, 4G, or LTE. I went from global mr3 to Bliss since I cannot get MR5 to work with r14.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Another question.. Does your sms work if you turn off LTE? I do not have LTE service where I live only 3g. Is that the issue? Can you confirm. SMS/MMS works with LTE turned off?

Thanks,

RJR
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] EDISON12:
Hey guys,

Just a quick question.

Does the Arter97 Kernal work on MR5?

I am on MR5 at the moment but when I try to flash the kernal in fastboot mode. Nothing happens. It's just a blank command line with nothing.

I have checked that I am on A partition. So I am a bit confused :(
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
If you type fastboot devices does the phone show up?

also which kernel version are you trying to flash
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] EDISON12:
Thanks for your reply Usyless.

Fastboot does recognise my device.

I was trying to flash R12 by following OP's adivce.

I haven't tried R14 or other kernel yet.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
Go into your dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* then go into Phone Information. Change the Preferred Network Type to GSM/WCDMA Preferred and it'll stop you down to 3G. This change will stick through factory resets, reboots, and flashing different roms.

I mostly use 3G because it has better signal where I'm at so yes sms works on 3G.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Any way to get Dolby Atmos and Chroma working under Lineage?

Thanks,

RJR
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
No and Yes

Dolby is something that I personally couldn't get working while I had my razer phone, even trying all the alternatives and workarounds.

I do recommend viper4android (it can be a bit annoying to set up and it worked for other but not me)

Chroma is very easy though, download this app, then before you open it you NEED to grant it all permissions including notification access, then you also need to grant it root access but it will ask for that when you open the app.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] alciatus:
Hi, is there anyway for me to get the fingerprint sensor to work?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
R12 should work, do you have a possibility of using a Linux device? fastboot is much more reliable there
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathToy:
I second this. I've been using V4A for years on every device I've had. Once I get around to messing with my RP2 again, I'll upload my profiles for anyone that's interested. Managed to pull some amazing sound quality out of the RP2 through headphones, car stereos, and surround sound setups. As well as really nice clarity and volume through the built-in speakers.

I'd advise against using the fingerprint sensor on GSI ROMs. Any that I've used it on gave me some really weird issues like the screen not working after unlocking with it. Would have to do a reboot at least every other time to get the screen working again.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] synapsesburned:
fwiw, the reiryuki v1.3 atmos magisk module is working for me on bliss:

https://github.com/reiryuki/Dolby-Atmos-Razer-Phone-2-Magisk-Module/releases/tag/v1.3

it's the only version of atmos I've found that works properly (at least on this gsi) and doesn't close in the background
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] liammc83:
Using havoc 3.8 gsi with straight talk att, Everything seems to be working from install without any specific fixes needed including 4g LTE, Incoming/ Outgoing text messages .. Calls also working flawless.

Only main fix needed was Bluetooth audio fix. Can be done anytime, No need to do during setup. Using r14 kernel.

hi. i am on mr5. managed to flash all the files needed to root. but when reboot to system, my phone got stuck on the boot image (the green white thingy thing). how and what should i do?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
Im not sure if arters kernel can actually work on MR5, did you make sure to flash the kernel in recovery too?

Try reflashing stock MR3 (using the files on razer website) and then root with that as im not sure if MR5 will actually work
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SoKa1993:
i tried flashing stock mr3. but it said that my device is cheryl1 not cheryl2. but on the fastboot mode, my product name is cheryl2
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
That means your fastboot is not working system wide, what I recommend, put the MR3 files inside the platform-tools folder, open a CMD window inside your platform-tools folder, type flash_all.bat and it should work.

Also make sure to use a USB 2 port
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Only Trinity seems to work on MR5.

Install MR3, then update to MR4, then MR5.

Fastboot flash arther kernel with TWRP.

Use TWRP to flash F2FS, reboot back into TWRP, erase DATA.

Use TWRP to flash Trinity kernel.

Reboot and hope for the best...
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Usyless:
You might want to check out the comment above this one, it has some quite useful info that I didn't know :)
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Seems like you need to put the platform-tools into your windows path before running flash_all.bat.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] univexXx22:
Thanks for the guide! Though i've run into an issue with the OpenGapp is no longer available. Im not sure if thats causing the issue I'm having or not. After flashing everything i go to reboot and I just get stuck on the Razer bootlogo it restarts a few times then just hangs. I can get back into my bootloader then run fastboot flash boot "a" and "b" again just to get back into Twrp. Factory reset clear everything out and restart but with the same result. I do get some red text when ever flash it reads

"E:TWfunc: : copy_log -- Can't open destination log file: '/data/cache/recovery/log'

E:DataManager : : Output_Version -- Unable to make /data/cache/recovery/: No such file or directory"

literally can not find any info on this any help would be amazing guys and its greatly appreciated!
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrusek:
Sounds like you are not booting the correct boot partition if you are still getting the Razer bootlogo.

Try going into TWRP reboot menu and select the other partition. If you are on A select B and vice versa.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bottto:
i ran into this issue as well, and reflashed a few times before i realized i downloaded the wrong lineage img.

for the sourceforge link in the OP, youd wanna download the file with the ...arm64_bvS.img.xz since thats the image that supports phones with AB boot partitions or whatever

once i did that it instantly worked after following the instructions after a factory reset
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] univexXx22:
Worked amazing didn't even thing to look at that -.- :good: by any chance did you happen to have issues with wifi picking up signals but failing to connect? Tried just about everything but to no avail.
