Hi,

Would anybody be willing to upload the stock recovery from the At&t Razer Phone 2 please.
I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to work on some more for this phone.

Thank you

I know another att variant guy captured the newest pie zip URL and I downloaded it. The recovery lives in the boot.img right?

Were AT&T the ones that sent you the THX model? Or did you buy it straight from Razer?

I'll find that URL and past it here. I've extracted the previous Oreo update from the att build prior to moving to the global version. I had to capture the URL from a log, then downloaded it, then extracted it then I had to use python to fully extract pieces of the payload. Which included the boot.img.

Not a developer but I think I can help here.

Here's the URL for pie July security for att:

https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../2965f0fadb65852413dba10a4fed1029ecce838f.zip

This will help you extract the payload.bin in the zip:

I'll pull out my old dumpy laptop. Good one is at work. I'll see if I can extract the boot.img.

Hey bud,

Thank you for the extracted image. I really appreciate it. I fixed my laptop this morning and extracted the whole payload.bin with python. I'm currently doing research on the partitions. I'm also trying to figure out why the arter97 r10 kernel won't boot with at&t latest update. Just hangs at boot. It installs nicely with global. Again thank you very much for your time and effort.

R10 works just fine on my device updated to AT&T's latest.

Hmm I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I followed the exact steps I did on the global firmware. Is their something I'm missing. Mine just sits at boot animation. What's your steps if you don't mind me asking bud.

Thank you
Not at all. Of course I unlocked both bootloader and critical.
Then I've extracted the AT&T Oreo file on Razers website into my adb folder and run the flash all .bat file. After first boot I allow it to update to latest Pie update. Are you on AT&T?? I'm the one that posted the captured OTA link.

@JDBarlow Yes I'm on latest At&T. I've had it working a few days ago but switched to global for a minute to do a vendor/system comparison. Now I can't get it to work again. Thank you for the it's captured link bud. I've done the same thing you did but my phone came development unlocked with different recovery setup. I backed up all of my development firmware.

@kountry83 I know bro I'm patiently waiting on someone (dev) to step up and take this device on..I love it man has so much potential if we had more development :good:

Nice to see someone taking a swing at it. So tired of people trash talking this phone, when it's capable of so much. I'm not a dev but seems to me that this phone would be easy to tinker with since Razer pretty much begs you to. Welp I guess JD and I will be here to test anything or help any way we can. I've really only seen him and one other dude using this phone on att. Openly that is. I ended up on global cause I hated waiting on att to release pie update.

JD, how's your cell connection quality? I can literally stare at my signal and it drops out completely from 3 bars or so. Maybe I could flash the modem.img to see if the basebands are different? I might just flash the Oreo att firmware them let it update, then flash arter kernel, then flash magisk zip within arter twrp to get root.

@jonchance_84 Honestly I've gotten such great reception in my area I haven't even diagnosed that. I can pay more attention to it and see what happens. We actually get the 5G Evo in our area..
The flashing sequence you stated above is the exact order I've done mine twice now and everything works very well!!

Edit: I don't get the 5Ge on the Razer 2.. didn't want you to think that ?

I'm not even a mile from i-20 in East Texas. This is all I get on lte, but the weird thing is that never settles in.

@jonchance_84 I live in East Texas too! I got a little land, log cabin, man cave, and guest house that use to be a bed and breakfast lol. Love this country living. I'm on T-Mobile.
Nice! Other than the heat right now, love it here. I work in IT for an oil and gas company. Starting to tinker more with Android as a hobby. Last phone was a Nexus 6. Always been able to flash, follow directions with no problem, but the dev side seems a bit tricky.

I just did the same thing you did with the at&t update and booted up to setup. Then booted to bootloader then flashed arter boot.img to both a and b. Tried to boot back to setup and hangs on boot animation. Don't get why I'm having a hard time getting this to boot off this kernel. Ugh

Any errors when flashing arter boot.img via fastboot?

@kountry83 @jonchance_84
That's just freaking crazy lol I'm in East Texas too :cowboy:
Instead of flashing the kernel to both slots try ONLY <fastboot flash boot arter97.img> then reboot before installing magisk
Edit: the last time did this flashing sequence I actually booted to recovery right after installing arter97 installed magisk then booted to system

Maybe he isn't setup with the a/b scheme?

Edit: Maybe the arter kernel isn't compatible with some hardware that's different? Causing kernel panic which results in bootloop? It's gotta be something simple though. Otherwise the att firmware wouldn't even boot at all.
