Flashing r14 over r12 still causes the phone to freeze at the boot logo. r12 working fine though (MR2).

Flashing r14 over r12 still causes the phone to freeze at the boot logo. r12 working fine though (MR2).

I tried the same thing today. I had r12 installed from when I got the phone in January with MR2. Today I downloaded r14 and the patched boot.img for MR3 and tried flashing them but now i'm stuck on the razer boot logo. Going to try restoring my backup from earlier. Anyone know what I did wrong?
1. Ran flash_all.bat from the MR3 update while keeping user data
2. Flashed patched MR3 boot.img in fastboot to boot_a/boot_b
3. Flashed arter97 r14 in fastboot for recovery

Edit: now after restoring backup from before flashing it's stuck on the green loading screen.
Edit 2: for some reason my backup from earlier today only backed up the system partition even though I selected boot and data. Restoring the boot/system from my first backup in January got me booting again.

Do u forgot after flashing the mr3 & keeping userdata to flash the f2fs file in twrp (Magisk?) ?
When twrp works try installing the zip file. Personally I use the tritinty R1 Kernel. I don't know why but R2,R3 & R4 Kernel freezes the half of my Display sometimes.

What app would y'all recommend for messing with kernel settings? I love FK but a lot of options don't stick and get overridden. Core control resets to all 8 online and min/max cpu frequencies keep resetting to default. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey guys,

I dun goofed when trying to do a routine backup.

Rebooted into TWRP, which surprises me with a password prompt (instead of pattern unlock)
Reboot to system to remove encryption and then fix stuff, greeted by "Enter password to start android" prompt
Tried the numbers-to-pattern trick, no luck. Basically locked out of the phone now
Booted back into TWRP, while looking around for other options, accidentally chose "Slot A" which has gotten me stuck back on the old recovery
fastboot commands no longer work

D:\adb>fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Sending 'boot.img' (23120 KB)                      FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed

Trying to re-flash the kernel just hangs:

D:\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot arter97-kernel-r14-20200428.img

I've got some data I'm not 100% sure is backed up like my 2FA applications so I'd like to try and get this fixed without re-flashing the entire firmware. Not sure if that's possible but I'm open to suggestions

Edit:

Tried switching to Windows Terminal/Powershell and got slightly different error:

PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Sending 'boot.img' (23120 KB)                      FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe flash boot .\arter97-kernel-r14-20200428.img
Sending 'boot' (30176 KB)                          FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe getvar all
getvar:all                                         FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
Finished. Total time: 5.004s

I'm sure the TWRP image is still there, but I can't get it back up.

I am getting a weird bug were my razerphone 2 will turn off the display when the battery is low. the phone itself does not shutdown my rgb still works I have been in the middle of a phone call and I couldn't hang up I could still use my volume buttons my fingerprint scanner will still work I just can't see anything I am using the latest r14 arter97 kernel it wasn't doing this before. Any help here?

Also the only way to get out of it is to reboot been dealing with this for months

So I was having this exact issue. I seemed to get it both with Arter's kernel and the stock build, so I assumed it was just something wrong in Razer's main ROM. I tried battery calibration and have an app that monitors the battery charge and reported that it is still in decent health. I am far enough along with this phone now that I went ahead and took the plunge into Havoc OS after reading a few of the devs have finally stabilized it for Razer Phone 2. It is day two now and haven't had the hang up problem, but I will let you know after a week if this is still the case.

Swap

I can't seem to get swap to work, I get an error saying that swap isn't enabled on this device? Is this kernel based? Has anyone else had this problem?

 

[bloodsmack]

Im on Pie . Mr1 rooted and with unlocked bootloader ,Magisk is working without any problems. The question is can i just flash this Kernel over or do i need pre version of kernel or mr3 ? Since i don't have twrp i can't backup complete firmware ...

I too have this bug on mr3 pie, I've also spoke to several other Razer phone two users on arter who are experiencing this very bug as well.. hoping there will be an update to resolve eventually

Is havoc a GSI? If so can I ask if your phone carrier is an American company? I'm asking because there's a known GSI bug that seems to make SMS not work on any GSI ROM on specifically only American carriers if LTE is enabled and I had this bug personally when I tried Resurrection remix so I'm wondering if havoc has this bug as well? but again if you're not on an American Carrier you'll never even know it existed, it only effects the US

I am also getting this bug, for me it started after installing custom recovery, like you said the only way I found to fix it is to reboot by ADB or holding down the power button for about 13 seconds, for me it's progressed to where if the phone Powers off by itself it gets stuck in a boot loop, doesn't charge, and cant enter recovery. I have to go to the bootloader menu by holding volume down and Power, then selecting the grayed out option so I can hold the power button down and force a hard reset, otherwise it never gets to the green flame animation.

Just a quick question.. Has anyone been successful using r14 with MR5?

Thanks,

MR5? When did MR4 come out? I am on an unlocked RP2 with no available updates and am running Build #: P-SMR3-RC002-RZR-200226.3141. I also checked for the factory images and that is the latest release on their website. What is your build number and do you have a carrier version? Is me being on the non-stock kernel and being rooted making the check for updates fail? I get that the update process should fail since the non-stock recovery is gone, but I could have sworn previous updates showed up and downloaded but just failed to install with this kernel.

I used the factory image for MR3 and then took all the updates and ended up with MR5 before installing this kernel and switching over to a GSI rom.

 

[rrusek]

Can someone confirm that they are on MR5 using this kernel?

When I attempted I would always get a boot loop..

Doesn't work on MR5 there are other boot imgs avail for that build in the forms. My personal recommendation would be to just run a GSI with f2fs.

 

[Ty1507]

is there a way to root MR6? I tried using r14 and didn't work.

 

[rrusek]

Try using Trinity and let us know. Trinity works on rooted MR5..

Install Trinity then install Magisk.

To install Trinity you first need to install r14 that has TWRP. Then use TWRP to install Trinity.

 

[Ty1507]

Update: I couldn't use r14 to flash mr6, so I downgraded to mr3. After that I used Trinity kernel and it worked.

Thx rrusek for the info.

I did a clean flash of MR6 the other day, then used r12 without any issue. Trinity is more than I am really looking for, but it's good to know that it's not required to run mr6
