New Razer Phone (1) stuck on download mode.

[iji40312]

I bought a refurbished Razer phone one from the official razer eBay page, and it's stuck on download mode. I haven't tried flashing anything, I haven't even ever been to the home screen. What can I do to fix this?

Get the Google USB Driver and make sure your Razer phone is installed with these drivers
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

Get Android SDK Platform Tools for latest ADB and fastboot tool
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Open command prompt to that folder and run these commands
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot set_active a

from what i've gathered from other threads with similar problems, that's the jist of it...

It says "Waiting for any device" the problem is that it's not recognized by the computer.

"Find the driver here:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip

unzip the files/folder to a location you will remember

Follow the instructions below, point the windows driver update to the .inf file in that folder then driver will install. Make sure you have the latest Android platform tools, the link is also in the PDF below.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-fac...stall_Android_Fastboot_Drivers_on_Windows.pdf

open a command prompt from within the Android sdk folder while the phone is still in download mode (phone stays and reboots to download mode through each process below making the process fairly easy)

type: fastboot devices

your phone should show up once drivers are installed correctly

type: fastboot flashing unlock
use the phone vol + - and power to select yes

phone should stay in download mode

type: fastboot flashing unlock_critical
use vol + - and power to select yes

phone should stay in download mode

Download the firmware image below or if you want to try the following command type: fastboot set_active a && fastboot reboot
to see if the phone boots, not sure if all the phones have Android installed. One poster below seems to and also seems to have his bootloader unlocked. This won't be the case for everyone. If phone does not boot continue downloading the firmware to install it

https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-factory-images/cheryl-o-global-6033.zip

unzip all the files and put them in the android sdk folder, from the same command prompt if you're on Windows

type: flash_all.bat

For Mac type: flash_all.sh

Will take a few minutes but firmware will install. These instructions are for RFD members that do not either 1) want the hassle of RMA or 2) take a chance at voiding the warranty (any phone flashing via adb is frowned upon by Razer)"

------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes. Reverse the locking procedure. Put phone back into Download mode (from power off, press and hold Vol up and then plug phone into computer) then issue fastboot commands to lock boatloader starting with critical."

------------------------------------------------------------

"if you have a ryzen pc and getting some error while unlocking... dont plug the phone in at the beginning... type the command when it says [waiting for device] then plug it in ... also dont forget to unlock critical right after"

it helped, now it is loaded; but after each reboot it writes, the phone is unlocked and that it is unsafe. can it be blocked back, is it safe that everything continues to work? please write what commands to enter?

Repeat the unlock commands using lock instead of unlock but in reverse order so:

fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing lock

again you must place the phone in download mode (powered off...hold volume down key down...plug in) between each command and follow the onscreen instructions.

after each command you need to disconnect from the computer? fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot set_active a
I used to enter these commands , the instructions were only after 1
I did not turn off the phone and the question on the screen was only after the first command. I probably entered only 1 command <if it was necessary to disconnect phone? ... thank you for help.

Sudo.

If ur using linux - run it with sudo. always run fastboot with sudo
