I don't see any topic relate to downgrade of razer phone 2 so i decided to try since my pixel 2 or galaxy s9 will not any problem as long as my bootloader is unlocked
but it woudn't work on razer phone 2. i downloaded the oreo factory image from the official website but tried the flash-all now my phone is currupted. since there is no pie factory image available, i think my phone can't recover. I'm thinking if flashing gsi would work?
I lowered the version from 9.0 to 8.1, there were no problems...
You probably did not completely unlock the bootloader. It is also necessary to unlock "Critical Partitions", and after that flash the firmware image 8.1

LOL, why would you go from a phone you can root & customize, to one you can't do ANYTHING to (that (cr)Apple doesn't allow you to do!)?! That's the ENTIRE reason I've never bought an iPhone, and have always bought Android, so I can root and customize (I realize there's Android phones you can't root, but I'll only buy ones that CAN be rooted).

Use the volume and power buttons to navigate the little menu and reboot your phone into the bootloader while the phone is plugged into your PC. For some reason the flash-all script doesn't like to run as administrator, so try running it just by double clicking. Also, cmd doesn't like pulling files buried in folders, so put the folder with the script and images in the base of your C drive just to be safe. Windows has this issue with the number of characters in a file's path and refuses to find files if the number of chars in it's path and name are too high.
Any benefits using oreo over pie for the razer phone 2 though? Like is it faster or something? I really don't feel the rp2 needs rooting or a custom rom it's plenty fast enough in my opinion

I got rid of moto turbo for no updates and bought nexus 6 and when I check for updates there is an update of 23.3 mb which gives error during installation.
Android 5.1.1
Build LMY48M.
It says device is unlocked in boot options but its not rooted as I checked it using rootchecker app. There is an app supersu. I am wondering whether it is pre-installed or not. Any idea how to get rid of this error as I am very disappointed right now..

The phone may not be rooted, but your system files are/were somehow altered at one point which is why your update is failing. Was this phone "unlocked" My brother bought an LG Flex 2 online that was "unlocked". Turns out the seller had a new phone, rooted it, then bypassed the SIM check on a software level.
The same issue happened and the update failed. Fortunately the phone was the same carrier that we had, so I wiped the phone and reflashed the stock image and everything works.
In your situation, you will need to wipe the phone via fastboot then flash manually whatever version you want. OTAs are not worth the headache if you have the knowledge to manually flash the newest images.

Oh yeah and no. SuperSU is definitely not pre-installed as part of Google's stock image on a Nexus phone LOL.
just sideload the update. its way better than going through each ota's one by one.
So I can flash marshmallow 6.0.1 skipping two minor updates of 23 and 30 mb plus 6.0 marshmallow one ?
Please also guide me through the process as my device is unlocked so what steps do I need to flash straight to latest update ?
I have never installed update manually so please guide me through simplest method you can as I am unaware of the terms fastboot sideload.
Thanks for the input guys.

In the future, use the search engine rather than asking someone for a link. After all, the search engine links on each page aren't just there for looks, but to be used. Your best starting point will be the Nexus 6 Index Thread.

Assume you meant "fastboot flash the factory image" (instead of "just sideload the update")?

yes.. easy.lol. i was on lollipop as well when i got my nexus 6 last year. i got tired of waiting for the ota. i flash it instead
Your bootloader is unlocked therefore just fastboot the newest image. I loaded marshmallow from the stock lollipop I got my phone and jumped like 6 versions ahead. I'm not sure why people sideboard or OTA. Quite frankly it's a pain and you can flash a new bootloader baseband and system without wiping data.
Just download the newest factory image and flash each one one by one. Don't use the flash all script as that wipes..... Although it doesn't work half the time anyways
Hello everyone, I got few questions.
As the title says, which version of stock rom do you use? Does it have any issues, are you rooted or not, green camera even with TA keys provisioned? Asking because, while I was following tutorial I couldn't pull out TA-unlocked.img, it said that file doesn't exist. I pulled entire /data/local/tmp folder and it showed 3 renoroot files and one "g+fffffffffffffff+fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff" file which is 12kb in size. I have green camera in Oreo, so Oreo is no go for me. Looking for decent stock Pie version, because latest one has touchscreen issues, it becomes unusable for 5-6 seconds and then works and stops working. Also, someone mind directing me to which TWRP should I use for PIE to install Magisk and other things, would be really nice. Any help is wellcome.
The last pie stock "2.2.8 should not have touchscreen issues, or any other firmware. If you have issues, and you still have warranty, try to send it it. Sony, in my opinion, is notorious for their touchscreen issues. I experienced touchscreen issues on z3 compact and z5 compact EOL. I suspect the same will happen with xz1 compact, unfortunately. However I am on my 3rd original screen repair/replacement , so hopefully it will last a bit longer this time.

Phone is not under warranty, so that is out of question, also don't want to lose waterproofing. This touchscreen issue happens only on Pie, currently I can find only latest pie and latest LineageOS, who aswell have that issue, while no issue occurs on stock Oreo, besides green camera.

Have you done a full wipe when installing the latest ROM? I've updated 3 times to Pie and come back to Oreo within hours due to certain issues so you may live to regret not following the guide properly.

I did as the guide said, and I have done it all on Oreo. I have pulled TA-Locked.img and later it said to pull TA-Unlocked.img and push TA-Locked.img. I tried pulling out entire tmp folder but it had only renoroot files and weirdly named one. Then I pushed back locked img and did rest as guide says. I have attest key provisioned but not SOMC Fido and SOMC Attest. Any idea if I can still fix it?

If you still have your TA-Locked.img then yes, the unlocked one is for "(for future comparisons)".
Start from scratch with the guide and redo the restoration of the locked TA img. If it doesn't work you're doing something wrong.

Post some screenshots! How's it feel?
I got it last night as well. It feels different, runs smooth. I need more time to tell if battery is better. I'm mixed on the new UI...but it will grow on me. I haven't taken any pics with it yet...but the app looks different so I am sure there are changes. I love having system wide dark mode now. Overall it is an improvement from a short test drive.
I flashed from att to Unlocked, Is there a way to flash back?

T-Mobile is rolling out Android 10 now ....
T-Mobile
Got it on my T-Mobile V40 device as well. Just rebooted and it is installing right now.
Edit: Size is about 1.3Gb
What is Verizon doing? Why sleeps
Probably seeing what bloatware they can shove into it, first! I'm on a pre-release V40, and often get stuff right away.

Still waiting for the us unlocked version sigh
Has anyone with AT&T who did the unlock via the 9008 mode try this update? Right now my update fails, logcat shows a CRC error because boot_a was modified. I assume if I wanted to apply this update I'd need to restore boot_a and laf_a to the original copy. Then update, then unlock again via 9008 mode. Any issues with the unlock method and Android 10?
Got the T-Mobile update yesterday. The Settings page is completely reorganized and more logically arranged.

Any Android 10 update for the US Unlocked V405QA7? Someone on reddit mentioned it being out already.
I should know better than to ask questions from customer service! Link got me somewhere general, nothing specific. What a surprise.

Hello forum, if someone could help me finding out, whether I bricked my device doing a pat step, or if it's still possible to recover it, I'd be most glad!
After unlocking the bootloader, it might be, I did a wrong step restarting too soon or something, or trying to boot into a wrong twrp-version. Actually I don't remember each step, as this happened a few months ago...
Thank you for now,
draftflash
if you still can, boot into fastboot and on your pc type
fastboot -w reboot.
if it doesn't work then consider using this firmware updater https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-stock-rom-for-xt2083-reteu.4214883/

ouh, don't think so. I choose it for being said to be a bit lighter. But I am thinking of changing back to LineageOS for /e/ is a bit too close to conventional ROMs, regarding the user surface. But actually I don't know the newer versions of LineageOS.

I dont know if it is available, but for another phone I´ve tried dotOS and was pretty nice, at least on the surface, didn´t dig too deep inside the OS but it seems like a good option, also it has optimization in its DNA
is there a tutorial to root your device on here
I've checked youtube and some online articles, but almost ROOT is limited to MIUI 12 or MIUI 13.0.5 or below, if anyone is sure of rooting my system, please share the corresponding youtube link or the corresponding online article
I'm in a hurry and need it very much. If you can help me find it, please let me know as soon as possible,[email protected]

Advice in this case.
Don't root if you are in a hurry
Bootloader unlock is at least 7 days waiting
Backup before and restore after format is again a couple of hours
Brick is a couple of weeks or papermate

I don't have any data and can format at any time,
I hope to achieve ROOT as soon as possible, Maybe 7 days can also wait or over 7 days,

Why should I root?
Because I'm very disgusted with the monitoring and security software that comes with the mobile phone system, I don't need these software and management, I am use to assured of Google's management, and don't need mobile phone security App,

There is a lot of information how to unlock and root your Xiaomi device.
So I won't give you a detailed guide.
- Start with bootloader unlock
- While waiting 7 days, study how to go further and download everything you need.
- Like ADB, Twrp or Orangefox, Magisk, Custom rom and optional Gapps
...................... Studying before next actions is necessary to avoid a brick ..........................................
- After 7 days, unlock
- Flash with fastboot, recovery (Twrp or Orangefox)
- Reboot to recovery
- Follow flash and format instructions of desired Rom
- Flash Magisk for root
PS
Please don't shout anymore for root in a hurry
