hey guys sorry if this has been answered already but im new to the G1 side of the XDA forums (i got a nexus one, mostly there) and i bought a G1 months and months back off of ebay. at that time i never had an knowledge about rooting or any of that. i have my N1 rooted and i was curious and looked through my G1 unlocked and rooted (bought it that way) and it the about phone part under Model Number, it says "Android Dev Phone 1" now i looked online and these dev phones have a special design on the back and mines doesnt (could have switched back cover) and something about the market not being able to download "cool" things off the market even tho i had no issues downloading on this before. so is this really a dev phone or not really? if so, whats so special about a dev phone? *i have included a picture of the About Phone screen i took with my nexus one*
**well my original post asked if this is a dev phone. i got the answer that its not. but this rom, never heard of this one before. anyone got any clue? also when i downloaded Quick Boot and his the button to go into bootloader, i got a phone icon with a "!". any clues?**
anyone? im just curious
no not a dev phone. it says jesus freak for the kernal. the rom loaded could be a custom rom based off the original devphone rom.

oh okay thanks. i was just curious. i don't really kno much about G1s but thanks
You are NOT providing enough information to determine whether or not that is a DEV PHONE.
Specifically, you need to provide two pictures: FULL front, and FULL back. The data that happens to be on the device does NOT have anything to do with whether it is or is not a dev phone.
You can tell a dev phone because it has cool graphics on the back cover. You will also note that dev phones do NOT say "tmobile" on the front at the speaker.
What makes a dev phone SPECIAL (aside from the graphics) is the BOOTLOADER, which is unlocked for fastbooting custom system images.

well i said in my first post that i dont have that cool design on the back like the dev phone has but i now kno its not a dev phone. what rom is this tho? i downloaded Quick Boot on my phone and when i tried to boot into recovery, i got a phone icon with a "!" symbol. this phone is rooted cuz i have super user permission, terminal, wifi tethering. so whats wrong here? and is this a ROM the person who sold it to me made or is this rom known already?

probably one jesusfreke made? i wasn't really around when g1 first got rooted. i got the mytouch when it first came out and passed on the g1 so i can't really tell you, but that would be my guess. and if that's true, its a pretty damn old ROM.
It's this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381
It's one of the oldest custom roms for the G1. The (!) Recovery is the stock recovery. Find Amon_Ra's 1.7.0 recovery and rename it to recovery.img and put it on your sdcard. Open terminal and type "su" then "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img". From there update the radio to 2.22.23.02, flash danger SPL, and flash CM5.0.8.
thanks guys. i will update my G1 since its extremely slow n has very limited space for apps

sorry i wasnt in the android game when this rom came out. i didnt kno jesusfreke was an actual developer. i just thought the seller made it himself and added it on
okay flashed the recovery img but now im trying to upgrade the radio but when i go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535 it gives me two links under the G1 part. how do i kno which to pic?
my current radio is 1.22.12.29. is it safe to flash either radio?
nevermind i got it all to work. thanks a lot guys. i remember when i wanted to root my nexus one, i took about a month and a half to read on everything to make sure i get my facts straight n this time it only took me about 2 or 3 hours. gotta love android ;D

When trying to reboot theres no error just gets stuck on att loadup screen. In odin fails after nand write start
on the phone it says sys recovery check fail :no version
SECURE MAGICCODE CHECK FAIL : boot
my guess is I need the gs5 active firmware but I cant find it anywhere any suggestions?
Im guessing the phone isnt letting the firmware go through because its meant for a different mode.
thank you for the quick response

Is it safe to assume that the product name shown in download mode is the same name as the firmware because if so, the firmware is sm-g870a and I can not find that anywhere.
Also would it be reasonable to request the firmware in the general android section?

Alright so I just called samsung this morning and the representative told me that its just a reflash and they will do it....personally I think she's wrong but I recorded the call and she sent me a free shipping label and everything so ya. try to call att you never know what might just happen. As soon as I get it back though i'm having someone/anyone help me pull the firmware off the phone.

I recent purchased the sm-870a (ATT S5 Active). I'd be happy to dump my firmware if anyone still needs it. My only request is that someone who is a mod point me to the preferred tool/procedure and also verify the dump does not have any personally identifiable information on it. Id hate to find out that I dumped private keys or passwords or some other tid bit that allowed someone to screw up my account.

Ahh if only I saw this 6 hours ago I just sent my phone into samsung to get it fixed. I think that many many people would appreciate you if you were to do so. you should probably make your own thread for this, there's definitely someone who will be willing to help you. if you manage to do it thank you.
I have the G870A as well. I got stuck on the boot logo after root but held the power button to force a reboot. You could have also forced a reboot to recovery and tried to wipe cache and reboot. If I get into this problem again I'll let everyone know how I got out of it.

It'll allow us to basically dump the partitions in our phones. However, there's no way I can think of to turn this into an Odin tar file (unless its as easy as compressing as tar?) but this might still be useful If I see anything else, I'll let you guys know

Yes please if you could extract the firmware that would be awesome!
So I decided to change my boot animation on my d959 with T-Mobile latest update. I've done it before and never had a problem but this time when I boot up it starts the animation and then just freezes there. Since I'm on D95920m and T-Mobile decided to get rid of download mode I'm not sure this one is coming back.
I have tried everything on XDA I could find but without download or recovery o don't think there is much that can be done for it. Does anyone have a suggestion or am I stuck rebooting hoping it will get past that point just once.

Im not positive on this but I think if you change the setting on the top left to" emergency " you don't have to be in download mode. This has worked great both times I've used it.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work.
I downloaded and tried bot kdz from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
It made it further but errors out. I have attached a couple screen shots as to how far it goes. I'm thinking the computer is suppose to tell the phone to go into download mode, which is not there thanks to T-Mobile, or emergency what ever that is.
And what so odd is the g3 comes boot loader unlocked.
It's like the devs for the flex struggled to get the OS to boot then during extensive testing it booted and they said "Hold the f up don't do anything else. It booted. Box it up and ship it out before the GS5 hits the market"
Yes, it seemed a little rushed. Lucky my wife loves me and didn't kick my butt to hard about it. Ended up getting a Nexus 5 and to be honest I like it more. Always liked stock Android and everything just works. Would have liked to have had a bigger screen so I may join jump and get the Nexus 6 when it comes out. Thanks again for your help.
Have u tried looking at the device manager and changing the phone to just adb had same issue and changed driver to adb instead and was able to flash back to stock am now running my own version of stock modified with g3 apps
This is what my phone looks like now
And what i mean is change the drivers under device manager to adb drivers for the phone and u should be able to flash stock back to the phone

Wow that's amazing you even ported dialer and other system apps? My ROM on the note 2 had ms ported and it took weeks to get everything working. What all did you have to modify? Do you plan to release it that was a lot of work to not share especially as busy at work as you've been.
Also, you need to get with playfulgod seeing how you also ported the g2 modem to your flex based on that baseband.... or possibly you just changed your build.prop to show like you have a flex. Do you think we are idiots?
Like maybe you're running this ROM and taking claiming you made your own?

hey everyone just picked up a prototype N6 from a buddy and having serious issues rooting this verion. i have rooted my other N6 with no issues but this build (shamu-userdebug l lrw80j 1454210 dev-keys) just wont seem to work if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great ty. this version included a power button on the back of the phone which was nice and why it caught my eye.
What have you tried and where does it fail?
Root is usually unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash supersu from recovery.
The problem you may have if the hardware is different is that the kernel would then be different, meaning there wont be a version of TWRP with a bootable kernel for your device. So just like you cannot run TWRP for a HTC on the Nexus 6, that could be the same case.
oh ok i see what you mean. everytime it gets to the try to temp load twrp it never seems to boot up im using the toolkit .and now it seems that i can't even boot into the system anymore just into fast boot but i can still use the flash boot flash options in root tool kit and i think you are so right about the kernel but just dont know which one to use i tried restoring /baseband /boot/system with a orignal factory 6.0 but individually but not working . is there a different method you think i can try? ty for your help.

If you're going to root, recovery is important.
There are apps that can root once booted into android, but you're playing with fire, especially if there hardware is different - as that means you will not have a factory image to flash either. These things are best kept untouched.
Great and I just messed up this systems IMG. cause I'm just stuck at the fastboot now I hope there is away around this. I had a feeling I shouldn't have gotten this version but wanted to be different now it just cost me smfh. Here are the pics of the phone and info

I cant think of a way around it. You could try flashing a stock system.img via fastboot but I cant say I'm hopeful and likely will make things worse. Without custom recovery, it is unlikely that you can repair it.
You can of course try and factory reset it. Who knows, may make it boot?
Yea flashing the system. IMG in fastboot made it worst well I used the new android m system so maybe that's why. Not looking good I hope I can get some answers soon or if maybe someone can mod a system. IMG I can use with this hardware .

yup. i bet it was the moto x pro, but in development still. they probably used all the shamu software on it at first. im curious whether it would take the moto x pro software.

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:

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.

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.
@JDBarlow
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
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
@jonchance_84 no errors. @JDBarlow just tried that also. Don't know what's going on here. I think it might be a little different hardware and software wise.

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.
