Need help! Willing to pay!

[lostnsound]

XDA Friends,

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A LITTLE MONEY TODAY???

I am calling out to you in DIRE need. I have royally screwed up my brand new Razer phone (US) and as far as I can tell there is only one way back and that is to get one of you gracious souls to do me a very big favor. What I need is a SD Card that has been formatted to work on a Razor phone and that contains, an ENTIRE cheryl-global-3005.zip. One that has not only the boot.img but the system.img. The reason I need to get this from one of you is that while I was in TWRP I accidentally flashed boot.img in System instead of Boot. This overwrote System and so now I cannot boot into the main system, it essentially goes into a boot loop. So that means I cannot get adb to work which means I cannot move files onto the SD Card (that is specially formatted for that phone and cannot be used to move files physically). And I failed to get the entire image onto the sd card prior to this happening so I do not have a system.img file on the phone in any capacity with which to flash to at least get back to factory.

So I'm thinking that if I can get someone to send me a formatted sd card that contains the full cheryl zip then I can put that card in my phone flash the system.img file from it that should get me back.

If you are willing to help me out with this I WILL PAY YOU.

PLEASE send me a private message here so we can arrange this as soon as possible. I'm phoneless without this fix.

You forgot to mention where are you from, my friend.

My advice comes free of charge:

Hold the power key until the device shuts off. Then download the system images from https://developer.razerzone.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/

Unzip this file and run the flash_all.bat file. (I assume you have fastboot set up already considering you've flashed TWRP). Once this completes you should see it booting up to a stock system.

You also have the option of manually flashing the system.img from this factory image using fastboot. No SD card required

Unfortunately, I cannot get to the download mode anymore in order to use fastboot. The only thing I can get to is TWRP. Any other attempt just sends it into bootloop.

OK scratch that I am able to get into download mode now. @Flippy125 thanks for the advice. I'll give that a try.

Ok, I am able to run fastboot devices and I can see that it recognizes the device. However, when i try to run "fastboot flash flash_all.bat" I get the following error message: unknown partition 'flash_all.bat'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'flash_all.bat'

I also tried "fastboot push cheryl-global-3005.zip" and that failed with error: unknown command push
I also tried "fastboot flash system.img" and that failed with error: unknown partition 'system.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'system.img'

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any thoughts?

I think you meant "fastboot flash system_a system.img"
And you don't need to do "fastboot flash flash_all.bat", you just double click flash_all.bat that is inside the folder and it should work, as long as you have fastboot correctly installed
EDIT: I'm not sure, but I think "flash_all.bat" would erase all your files. Can anyone confirm this?

fastboot flash system system.img

@el4nimal and @waiflih

What is the difference between system and system_a?

Also, can you explain what slot A and slot B are? I have not run into those terms before when rooting other phones (previous was a Nexus 6p).

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it. I'm at work right now so I will try your suggestions at lunch when I can run home for bit.

I'm not sure, but I think those are partitions like C:/ and D:/ on a PC.
"System_a" would flash system.img only on Slot A, "System_b" on Slot B, I don't know what "system" does....i think it flashes both

IT'S ALIVE!

So "fastboot flash system system.img" is what worked. Appears that running that command updated system_a based on what I could see in the cmd prompt logging. But it worked as I am now able to boot into the operating system. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! You saved me $700. What can I do to support you?

I'm glad that it worked. Just enjoy it!

Reading this brought a warm feeling to my heart. Have fun with the phone. It's great!

Glad this got sorted. I think I can speak for all of us tinkerers when I say we've all been in this situation before and called upon the forum for advice. Pay it forward ^_^
