[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] JDubbed:
The TWRP recovery has the ability to boot either in partition a or partition b. Apparently the Razer Phone 2 has a unique 2 partition system that isn't common in most phones. I've seen some flashing guides that specifically state use partition b. One could technically dual boot on this phone which I may end up trying this Pixel Experience OS on partition b since my current OS is on partition a. Problem is the reason for dual partitions is because if an OTA occurs, it uses the backup partition in case the OTA fails it can revert back to the working partition. But I am not sure if an OTA occurs for this specific OS if it changes partitions or overwrites one as a backup. @Alcatraz323 can you shed some light on this please?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alcatraz323:
Just flash the PE recovery then do "update from adb" sideload, it will automatically install the rom to the currently inactive partition.

No requirements for which partition it is, but one thing you need to notice, After installing this rom, your custom kernel and twrp will be overridden by the PE one, and you can't use other kernel and twrp since they are not supporting Android 12.

Also, since you are not on PE now, this means you need a factory reset to boot PE as well as go back to your original system if you don't want PE in the future

I had all my personal data like photos and suff on my SD card, so I didn't have to do anything for that.

As Anonymous11289 mentioned, your google account normally redownloads all your apps (at least those from the play store), contacts, wifi and some other settings. I don't think it saves app settings though. Personally I use Swift Backup with root access for my apps, which I find to be more complete than Google since it also backs up app data.

I seem to have an issue with wifi. Came from LineageOS on this device, did a complete wipe, flashed back to newest stock rom, then booted PE's recovery, flashed the rom properly. System UI force closes when I try to activate Wifi from drop down. Wifi was working on Stock ROM and LineageOS
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neutronflux:
I haven't had any issues with Wifi or the drop down menu so far. I went directly from LOS to PE, using LOS recovery. Is this happening even before you install any apps? If you've installed some apps, maybe something there's something that's not playing nice with Android 12 or PE. Otherwise, you might have to try reflashing since I haven't heard of others having this problem.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Anonymous11289:
On the 1/20 version.

Didn't have anything running in the background. Played a video using google photos app, a couple minutes in phone froze and rebooted. Now it continues to freeze about 1 minute in after rebooting.

edit/ booted to recovery to do a factory reset. Works now. This is a pretty significant bug if it forces me to factory reset each time this is encountered... Is there something wrong with the video playback codec?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechX1991:
Wifi networks didn't show up in the Android Setup. I haven't done any installs of any apps at all yet. I was going to try reflashing, starting over completely
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] cs-135:
I've been meaning to write here a few weeks back, but rather late than never hey.

I tried the build (18/1) to see if it would fix my issues. The fingerprint reader still goes to sleep and never wakes up unless the device is unlocked using the PIN after which it starts working again - until the device goes to standby.

I'm also not able to get 'Hey Google' working. Still shows 'Unavailable for this language' yet I'm on English (UK). The rest works fine.

I also experienced lag when typing a message in WhatsApp, using SwiftKey. I'm also not able to record messages through WhatsApp - the microphone button doesn't release when you release your finger off the screen and it doesn't record at all. I don't have this issue on AOSP 11 though.

HELP lol

Been quite awhile since ive flashed a fussy phone, every time i try to flash via recovery in adb sideload (filname), and every time it freaks out at 47% then gives me an error about driver not configured , have google adb and fastboot globally installed, tried 3 time snow , any help great appreciated, would LOVE to get this rom on my rp2, with the more refresh options looks amazing
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
unable to open sysfs usb node (no such file or directory

failed to set driver controller

error 21

signature verification failed
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
You gotta go back to the basics and make sure your drivers are good and then run adb device and fastboot device to make sure the PC sees the phone correctly. Also try and use a USB 2.0 port on the PC if you can. I use an old Win7 rig just for flashing.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
on win7 x64, on usb 2.0, tried usb 1.1, have tried multiple drivers, device will not show in fastboot. shows up as adb , and flash fails with normal recovery
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
Running the command window as admin?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
yes as admin, even tried not as admin out of curiosity , like ive flashed alot b4 , NEVER had a problem like this , but do remeber this phone being fussy when i flashed back to stock rom after removing root awhile ago, my win 10 machine wont see it at all either , adb works on the win 7 rig but no fastboot , gets to just about done the flash of this rom in adb then fails at 47% and gives me the error posted in comment of my first post here. could it be that its not liking x64, only difference i can think of is that this win 7 install is 64bit
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
and if you can help me get this solved thanks in advance. just started using my rp2 again last bit , had a bunch of head (brain) damage since ive messed with any of this stuff , so my memory is literally poop
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
and is there a specific version of the adb fastboot drivers i should be using for rp2?, literally using the command style 1.4.3 installer that installs it system wide
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neutronflux:
The last time I had something similar happen, I think it was because it didn't download correctly (or maybe I unzipped it). After I downloaded it again, I was able to install without any issues. Maybe it's worth a try as well for you.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
In fastboot mode, what does device manager show? And I always run adb and fastboot in the same directory. The environment variables are flaky for some reason. It always works that way for me. There's also a great guide on the Razer support page for this phone on how to install the drivers.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
ill try a redownload and check the md5 on it tonight , on 2mbps internet right now so it'll take abit, mostly want this rom for the refresh rate control and save this battery abit
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
device manager shows android device , had the asterix at beginning , installed the adb and fastboot command style v1.4.3 off xda here, so went threw normal driver setup , picked google inc , the picked android adb interface , didnt work tried the other 2 drivers with the installer , the bootloader driver and the composite adb driver ,made sure usb debugging was enabled before loading into bootloader, will not show any fastboot devcies , but show's adb devices when in recovery(not custom recovery) and cant get the custom recovery loaded because cant get access to fastboot
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
and sorry for the hasle sure its gunna end up being something dumb on my side , but honestly been going at it for a few hours now and just beyond frustrated , like android 12....... SIGN ME UP lol
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
and yeah i legit followed that tutorial off their site to install it , said to use the bootloader driver , but still doesnt work
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
I GOT IT , thanks for all the help @jonchance_84's comment about adb and fastboot in same directory i think was the trick that and using the android sdk drivers for fastboot , but anyway THANKS to all that responded , have a good rest of your weekend
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
So how bad is this video bug if using as a daily? Finally getting the itch to flash this. Starting to backup my stuff and see what happens.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mwmodz:
Fitbit Sense working great with this rom , ONLY issue ive found in 24hr is a little weirdness with the 30hz mode, like screen will go blank for 1 second and come back, but only real problem ive found is that galaxy buds + will not work with any text apps, works for audio and the voice recorder works but the second i try to make a call with sim or text app they go blank
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Nak254:
@Alcatraz323 Dolby Atmos Doesn't seem to be working on the Razer Phone 2. It's either always on or always off, generally on Android 9.0 there was a stark difference between turning it off and on in the middle of audio playback. Now, the button/app doesn't do anything and makes no difference to the audio.

If this could be checked out, that would be greatly appreciated as the speakers are one of the big selling points of the phone. To me, it seems as though it is always off because it sounds quieter in the same environments that I was using it in before. Equalizers in the application don't need to change the audio either, so it seems the whole Dolby Atmos app is just non functional.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
I've also noticed that the Dolby Atmos settings appear to do nothing.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Anonymous11289:
I'm personally avoiding playback of any MP4 files on my phone, because I have encountered the crash several times in the past where it made the phone unstable and required a factory reset to fix. Youtube videos work fine without issue. Theres also a bug where the audio becomes distorted if the volume is below 50% while playing certain games.

Other than those two things, everything else seems functional. Currently using this as my daily driver.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SimonFoxcoon:
apparently the jan 14/15 updates fix it

2022.1.14

fix system animation stuck

fix volume distortion under 50%

Sync PE upstream

2022.1.15

fix volume distortion under 50%(optimize from 1.14)

fix nfc issue
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] FantasticalChav:
Can also confirm on my end that Atmos doesn't appear to work at all. Oddly enough when I make calls, I also don't get any ringing sounds, just silence until the call is answered (though this isn't a big deal).

Other than those two things, everything is working great for me so far after a week of usage. Phone runs cooler and faster than it ever has before, and I'm getting better battery life at 120hz than at 60hz on the stock ROM.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Nak254:
Is there any way to make this ROM widevine L1? It's currently at L3 on the Razer Phone 2 which causes subscription services like Netflix or Amazon Prime to run at lower than HD resolutions (limits resolution).
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
@Alcatraz323 I am having an issue that may be related where incoming phone calls do not appear to vibrate. (and yes vibration is on, and whatnot.)
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Senyaka:
Did you ever fix this? I've got the same issue myself.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechX1991:
It actually seems to be a bigger issue with flashing any rom. I tried going to lineageOS official and it did the same thing even after following all steps perfectly and fully restoring the device.. also did it on some gsi's i got working

Wifi did work on stock rom. What's weird is I even followed the identical steps that worked on my other rp2. I have 3 of them
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yellowlemons:
Very cool work. I'm also having audio issues. Dolby app is broken like others are saying. But I'm also having audio dropouts and volume changes while playing videos or gaming. I have disabled all the Android 12 audio AI smart features. Otherwise this is a very fun project/ROM.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Senyaka:
I actually got this work last night at last. I flashed back to stock rom. Went to the razer site and got the top 2 ones they had. The very top one had the same result as before. Did all the steps and no wifi at all. However flashed the second stock rom in the list. Set up wifi on the stock rom. Then flashed pixel experience. Wifi all the way! So not sure what happened. It was weird way of doing things but now things work good.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] s2601d:
Almost same issue was when i tryed before Lineage OS Bluetooth and Wifi Modules was not working at all, only after twice reset to stock, i finally got run them back, and easily transfer to Pixel Experience firmware with not issues at all from Lineage
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Senyaka:
It was weird that's for sure. Glad it's all working now though. Love the Rom so far.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechX1991:
I just noticed that 9.0 SMR7 download and 9.0 MR6 download are identical download links. Razer released a Feb2021 update for these devices, but honestly, download link wise, they're identical and I don't know if they just messed up the new link or if they changed the old link

Edit: I can't read, lol feb 2021. I'm gonna try MR3, but did you do MR6 or SMR7?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Senyaka:
I used MR6 myself. That one worked for me. I also noticed that they all have the same download name. That was confusing.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
I was on mr7 since last year. I factory reset, then flashed PE. I noticed last year that the mr6 and mr7 were the same file, too. You could probably flash mr6, let it update to mr7, then follow the directions on flashing PE. I haven't had any issues with Bluetooth, flashlight, or anything else major.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Senyaka:
I actually tried that. But the MR7 update failed for some reason. So just went from MR6 to PE.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fabienpascal:
Install was successful for me. Thank you!

Hey I can't seem to get rid of the "system is corrupt" red message at boot. I've tried that reset command through ADB, but to no avail. Any ideas how to fix it ?

2022.2.23 Updated
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] RaptorTurkey:
Few regressions in latest build, looks like the razer tools Dolby Atmos is permanently enabled as it messes with audio, makes music quieter in movies and dialogue louder and etc whilst using Plex, and also the volume slider no longer controls the volume of Plex either. Previously I had to use a browser to be able to lower the volume on the fly with the volume buttons. Not sure if it's strictly that the volume level isn't controllable or whether there's a detection issue with it and it's changing ringer volume whilst Plex is open instead of media volume.

Crashing issue appears fixed when viewing looping gif images (more testing needed, preliminary results seem positive)

Edit: enabling Dolby Atmos and disabling the dialogue boost appears to fix both of the initial issues with volume not being controlled and the music muting effect of dialogue boost.

2022.2.23 Updated (OTA).

it take like an hour or 2 ... very slow. maybe is better do it at the old hard on top flash way....
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jonchance_84:
You probably have a ton of apps . Mine took maybe 20-30 mins.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Aimless Rambler:
Note: After installing latest update of Pixel Experience (February 23rd?) I had to reenable USB Debugging in Developer Options before being able to connect via PC.

Also, lost root. No big deal to reinstall.

Also, if you use the Logo+ app for Chroma you'll have to re-enable service within app settings.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] empireryu:
Have been using this rom for a few days. Love it so far!

The only problem I have run into is every once in awhile while watching a video (Prime Video and YouTube) the whole phone will freeze up but the audio will continue playing until I do a hard reboot with the power button... Other than that everything seems to be working as it should :)

Hello everyone, is there a tutorial for this ?

Thanks
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neutronflux:
Do you mean for installation of PE? You can try: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/aura/install/
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] simon7239:
I have looked at it, and followed the instruction "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot"

then this is what i have...

C:\Users\leson>fastboot devices

181840V01504849 fastboot

C:\Users\leson>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\leson\Downloads\PixelExperience_aura-12.0-20220223-0223-OFFICIAL.img

Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 0.265s]

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')

fastboot: error: Command failed

And i have been searching around the internet, but then it leaded to install TWRP then magisk, untill this moment i'm very confuse because nothing work..

Can someone help me out please..
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yellowlemons:
It's because the instructions are generic and to flash the recovery on this phone you have to flash it to boot.

This is the option:

Honestly just follow the instructions on the lineage OS page.

Install LineageOS on aura | LineageOS Wiki

[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] simon7239:
thank you ! it works now !!

but one small problem though, the phone wont recognize my SIM card..any idea ?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yellowlemons:
Sorry I only use the phone as a gaming device.

I know this ROM turns the Razer Phone 2 into a Pixel 6 Pro. So maybe your telephone carrier is having a conflict.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] simon7239:
Oh okay, thanks alot for helping me, me too i use it for gaming but it would be nice to have it own internet, and can phone when needed ( i have another phone for call and work).

Anyone else have any idea ?

Edit: i restarted the phone, and the mobile thingy work !

everything looks beautiful and working great thank you so much !!

Hi Alcatraz323,

After 3.1 update; microphone not working at my Bluetooth headphones in PUBG Mobile. I mean when I open the mic at in-game, I heard nothing from my Bluetooth headphone. Game sound and teammates sounds absolutely stop. But if I restart the game, I hear everything and again I open my mic then again and again this problem happens. I use ultra audio settings in PUBG Mobile. I use several Bluetooth headphones, Game re-install, re-set my phone, rom update via ota, rom update via clean flash several times. Nothing can work. Please help me.

[N.B: This problem only occurs at PUBG Mobile. Bluetooth headphones works fine in other apps. At 2.23 update, this problem not happens]

Hi there, I'm really rusty and haven't updated my phone since I first rooted it back in 2020. I assume it would be best to flash to stock rom and kernel before installing PixelExperience? Any recommendations for kernels or just keep it stock?
