I read up on some threads that you need to flash a verity disabler zip in twrp during the rooting process or whatever in order to boot again cause of the protection features in the kernel and in others i read you just gotta flash magisk..
where can i obtain one of these zips and are they universally compatible with all android devices with a verity checking thing in the kernel? a thread on here said that i would need to flash a custom kernel in order to use magisk or something cause it wouldnt pass the safetynet on a stock kernel?
so many contradicting posts and instructions for root on this device.. what do i have to do? help please?

Seems to be lots of blind leading the blind going around. You don't need no stinking zip! I don't use magisk, but I know su disables dm-verity, and if magisk doesn't I would be very very very surprised. Matter of fact, you can see verity getting patched when you install su.
Let's start with this , what are you trying to do?
And what are you trying to do it with?
What rom, stock? Yet another thing missing from most of these posts is info. You supply it, you'll get better help.
Idk. I want to go stock root and then get a room later. I just bought this phone and don't wanna do something wrong this early.
I read up that SuperSU won't work and will give errors or bootloop or something.

Reply to a post or things will get missed. And you read wrong, well, whoever had the trouble may have had a boot loop, but that was cuz they did something wrong.
Flash latest 282sr5 in twrp - simple as that. I know it works, I've done it.
I would also highly recommend you keep stock images on hand in case something does go wrong. Better yet, bu everything in twrp, except image partitions and efs - always bu before screwing around with things (naturally).
okay well i got root now, no problems other than failing to boot ito recovery from the bootloader menu using the selector buttons cause i didnt realize until after the face that booting into the OS without first going to twrp will wipe the recovery from the phone my error
but no mistakes during the whole wiping process or flashing magisk process.
now before i do this..
is it safe to update magisk manager? its prompting for an update and i dont want to update it if it will give me a problem

There are different types of treble devices you know. Only a couple GSI work on the g6.
GSI is a system image, so usually flash with fastboot.
Fastboot flash system system.img
Or in TWRP with the "install image" option.
The G6 does not have a b partition. So only try ones that say "arm A only". Meaning arm, not arm 64, and a - only, not a/b.
There is an entire section of this site devoted to it. Search "Project Treble". Without the quotes obviously
Here you go
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
Better yet here ya go
Built for the g6.
All GSIs are generic system images, so technically they can Flash on any device that has treble (with the correct CPU architecture and partitioning scheme) but when one gets built for your device most of the bugs have been worked out

I found the problem. The system partition is too small so GApps always fails. To solve it go to twrp adb push your rom, and flash it. Then go to format then system hit repair then resize and confirm. Of you are flashing a big GApps (Super) do it again. Flash GApps then Magisk (for root) then you're done
Hi guys, I have an SM-N960F dual sim exynos Note 9 and i have recently discovered this whole other element of ROM flashing known as project treble ROMs. I tried to flash a few different ones and i could only get one to work and the rest all just either bootlooped or stayed on the initial splashscreen. I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on them a bit for me and perhaps knew exactly the best way to flash them, and what firmware is best to start on beforehand etc? I found the whole thing EXTREMELY confusing especially with venfor images and kernel images etc...
Thank you for any input/help!
We can't really use the term Project Treble when talking about Samsung phones. Technically it is implemented, but Samsung being Samsung, it's quite a non-standard implementation and not really compatible with anything else.

Ive flashed a few of them onto my phone but it seems to be a bit of hit and miss as to whether they boot up or not. The ones that do have been good in terms of the size and speed etc, I even flashed a generic copy of OneUI which worked well.
I am on Pie base using the Dr.Ketan rom, so I tried a few GSIs which are supposed to be compatible with Pie base. I took them from here.
The way I flash them is:
1. Factory reset from TWRP
2. Flash the GSI as system image
3. Flash stock kernel otherwise you will be stuck on boot logo or you will get into bootloop. To flash the stock kernel I just use Dr.Ketan's rom, because the UI upon flashing allows you to choose and flash stock kernel and skip everything else.
(They mention that we should flash Permissiver also, but it gives error so I can't flash it)
So those GSIs boot up, but they are barely usable. The "System is finishing update" and "System setup will start soon" are stuck for me and never finish. Also for example in the PixelExperience9 from this collection I was not even able to add my Google account because of the system auto-closing almost all system apps that I try to open.
It might be that these things should be done in a different way, but this is my experience for now. So..... back to Dr.Ketan ROM. I was really hoping to get the MIUI GSI as daily, but it seems impossible to me.
EDIT: Lol I realised we are the same people talking on the other thread also, so you gave me the link to the treble collection.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to flash a GSI to the Dynamic Super Partition? I've been trying for a month to flash DotOS and nothing. I can get it to flash using "fastboot flash super" but flashing to system it fails. Still doesn't boot regardless, even if I flash vbmeta and stock boot. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

When I was testing out GSI I used this method:
I would just change the rom name in .bat(?) File. Everything flashed and booted fine. The only issue I had with GSI roms & AT&T was that I couldn't get mobile service.
Better to stick with one of the many custom roms made for Pixel 4/XL. I mean I'd rather use something made for my device than something universal. Cool to try out new things though I get it. DotOS is not too much different than anything else.. DotOS has a different look, a different theme/ui.. I'm referring to DotOS Android 11. I used DOT on my OnePlus 6t, before I got my Pixel 4XL. I'll see what I can find about what you are talking about here and if and when I do find some good reads I'll return and link to them in this same post. I would definitely search high and low and look around in PHH's GSI notes and see what all is in them about this sort of thing. How are you doing your install? What is your installation process step by step?
I haven't used a GSI since my Motorola phones a few years ago but I remember depending on what device installation varies. I'll see if I can locate anything and link it here and tag you if I do. Cheers.
Edit added: Turns out DotOS devs revamped the new Android 12 theme engine and plan on releasing it once they drop v5 2 of their DotOS rom!! Maybe someone will compile DotOS. I plan on getting another better laptop in six months. If it's not available for us then I'll take a few cracks at it and if I'm successful I'll first get permission from DotOS and show them what I have and if they okay it I'll post some Pixel 4XL coral builds. But that will be six to nine months away from now. Times are hard. May happen sooner..
@phenomenalblaze I found a tool thats supposedly made for this sort of thing here:
I'm usually not HUGE on using toolkits on Android because you don't learn anything that way you know. .But figured I'd share.
I thought I would just casually go through my installed apps and clean some up. I disabled the following...
1. Accessibility Suite
2. Gmail
3. Google TV
4. Google Music
5. Chroma
6. Razor Store
7. Logo+ (Uninstalled)
I then thought to myself that I would probably need the Accessibility Suite for apps that needed that as a permission to work. So I re-enabled it and it updated. I then rebooted and now the phone hangs at the Razor logo. I do have TWRP installed so I can get to that. I also have a complete backup from about a year ago using TWRP which I would like to use as my last resort. I am thinking that by disabling one of the above apps caused this issue. So, can I fastboot and re-enable them using adb? If so what is the command and the name for each app above? I am not an adb guru so the exact commands and names would help. Or if someone can think of another way to get my phone working besides a complete wipe I would greatly appreciate it! I am running MR1 stock with Magisk/art97. I do remember back in the day having a similar problem and I ended up re-flashing the ROM or something and it kept all my data but I think it just repaired the OS or something and that fixed a not booting issue. That was a long time ago so I cannot remember all the specifics but if that rings any bells for anyone as to another way I can approach this I am all ears. Thank you!
Logo+ - you uninstalled it. I dont think any others will prevent booting. If there is no logo, it will sit till it gets one. Reflash logo+ if at all possible. (I have a logo.img in my firmware, but different fone.

Thanks for your reply. Logo+ is not a system app and shouldn't have anything to do with the Razor logo when booting up. Logo+ is a 3rd party app that allows to manipulate the colored logo on the back of the phone. For example when a notification comes in Logo+ can light up the colored logo on the back of the phone or make it flash. The app is from here. I've actually uninstalled and reinstalled Logo+ in the past when updating and such with no adverse effects. I can't imagine Logo+ would be the culprit here. What do you think?
I think only logo+ is capable of preventing boot, because your bootlooping. all other apps should NOT cause ANY bootloop, because they do not access anything previous to logo+, your first step in your problem.
Try this...
Logo+ if incorrect in any way will not show. This CAN cause bootloops. No other app you mention can. Perhaps your fone took a silent update, maybe it checked for the Logo+ and 'kicked' you for messing with it. Maybe google decided not to like it, so silently ordered your fone to delete the logo you installed leaving you with no logo+, and until you can see a logo+ your fone will stay there, so try my suggestion, seems your only choice. I have been flashing chips for years so can help, just go with my suggestion, reflash ONLY stock system.img/.bin using your stock flashing application, you'll be glad you did.

I will follow your instructions but I am needing some clarification please.
The app Logo+ never came with the stock OS or the Razor Phone 2. It is a separate app made by a 3rd party. So flashing the system.img will not bring back Logo+. So should I first attempt to flash the Logo+ app using TWRP?
If you want me to reflash the stock system.img, I don't believe I have that. How can I obtain this? And could you please provide me with the steps to reflash? Should I use TWRP or fastboot and use Windows adb?
So the Logo+ is only an app. Not a zip. So I don't believe I can flash that. Should I attempt to sideload it? Can I install an app on the phone when the phone cannot boot?
So logo+ IS your prob. Personally I would never use an app to do such work, I'd edit and flash it myself, but hey, you prob know this by now.
Go to (motorola?) Razor support, look for your firmware, it may help if you have phone plugged in while doing so in case they have a detector script to detect firmware for your fone.
Regardless, grab stock offered for your fone. This should also point you in the direction of the correct flashing frmware. once you have them, get back to me.
Or look at what I found using startpage/google:

The Razer Phone 2 is made by Razer https://www.razer.com/mobile. Motorola makes the Razr which can be confusing.
I don't know how to edit and flash the Logo+ app. Can you do this for me and I'll test? The app is located here https://github.com/CurtisMJ/LogoPlus/releases.
As I understand it as soon as I flash the stock rom it'll put me back to factory settings right? So I'll have to re-personlize my entire phone from scratch. I'd like to leave this as my last resort if possible. So if we can I'd like to flash the Logo+ if you can make that zip for me.
Hi, developer of Logo+ here
I think there's maybe some misunderstanding as to what the app does. It doesn't work on the bootloader splash in any way (this can actually cause failed boots). It's for controlling the RGB on the Razer logo on the back of the device. I named it "Logo+" to avoid any legal issues with caling it "Chroma" since thats a trademark of Razer. The app is entirely user space and is not active during boot. It modifies the lights via sysfs values (with root) that are entirely in RAM so they're cleared on boot.
You can typically just put the .apk in /data/app in recovery mode to install it. I think this may have changed slightly with newer android versions.
Ultimately I don't think Logo+ is needed for or can interfere with boot. I would suggest flashing the system image as suggested for a clean slate.
EDIT: You may end up having to use your last resort backup if you're not keen to loose *too* much data. Not booting is a difficult thing to troubleshoot because there's no feedback as to what went wrong on Android. If its a data thing and not a system thing that is. You could try fastboot flash each system image part to maybe fix any corruption
EDIT2: Take another backup before you do anything though. Titanium back can extract app data from TWRP backups so you can restore your user data at least

Thank you for taking the time to chime in here @CurtisMJ. I did end up gettijg it to boot now in partition a. I went into TWRP and switched to partition a and phone boots but no longer has root or magisk. I'm not sure how the partitions work but it looks like there are two that the Razer uses. A and b. And I guess I've been using b since the beginning and since b won't boot now I tried booting off partition a and the phone seems to work as it did. All apps and widgets are in the same place except magisk and phone isn't rooted. I could reflash the system image but the amount of time to re-personalize everything will be extensive. So I just wanted to make sure I did everything I could before that. I'll try copying the apk as suggested and see if that works.
Do you know if there is a way to enable system apps when they've been disabled like I did when phone won't boot? I am in partition a right now and booted and I reinstalled logo+ and saw that all the apps I disabled in OP are back to being enabled. So I am not sure if partition a and b share the same system and user data but everything is exactly what it looks like from partition b. So it is a good chance they share everything except magisk which I guess is flashed at the partition level. Just trying to make sense. Thanks for everyone's time.
So the A-B partition layout is a thing that was introduced by google for more reliable system updates. Effectively the phone has 2 copies of the OS, including system partition,kernel,vendor etc and the phone flip-flops between them on every update, updating the "other" partition to the one its running so if it fails it can boot to the still good one. So you effectively went a system update backwards, but using the same user data partition (or Magisk kept an old copy of the system around). System apps disabled status is stored in /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml which can edited in TWRP with some effort. Magisk is likely flashed to kernel B so you're correct in that its a partition level thing.

Thank you so much for that explanation. That makes a lot of sense. My OS has been MR1 for a long time and OTA has been turned off so I guess there hasn't been any OS updates so there's been no reason to switch between partition a and b I guess. So I guess there's technically been a backup of my OS all this time with the double partition thing which is cool. And I guess I could magisk and root partition a. If I reflash the system image to partition b will that effect partition a?
I think he's talking bootloaders re: a/b partitioning, The point of A/B being if your using 'A' to boot, and you update, the updated BOOTLOADER is flashed to 'B' and when you reboot the f'n, 'B' becomes your main bootloader until next update where that update will use 'A' having been 'emptied' after the previous update sort of thing, I dont have a/b, but this is my understanding of the a/b partitioning,,,?
Opens up the options for dual booting fone with or without magisk, If I had a/b, i'd flash magisk to one and stock to the other...

I was thinking the same. I believe I have the opportunity to stick with the working partition which is a, and magisk that. And then for the partition b I could put the official lineage OS on there. My only concern is if lineage had an update does it update both a and b partitions which I would lose my original OS then. I guess I'll have to research.
I think it's safe to assume that when an update takes place, upon reboot, whichever bootloader you WERE using, a OR b, is now empty... it's staring you in the face
Just remember what we agreed on. Once you magisk your current bootloader, make a backup of said bootloader, store it on main computer, because when you flash lineage, your magisk in your current slot will be wiped. Once you have installed Lineage, you will need to boot into fastboot to re-flash magisk, and then use fastboot boot a or b for dual booting until you get an app or sumat to choose in gui what you choose to boot into
What I am thinking I will do for the time being is stick with booting into partition a which is currently not rooted and I am fine with that. At least it works unlike partition b. This is my main phone, my only phone, and I need it to work right now so would rather not risk causing issues flashing stuff. I know enough about flashing to be dangerous.
Currently the official release of lineage for the Razer Phone 2 is still not stable yet according to the forum here. So camera still doesn't work and I need the camera to work. So I'll wait until the camera is fixed which hopefully will be soon.
You stated in your previous post "sumat to choose in gui what you choose to boot into" can you clarify? Are you saying there is a GUI that helps choose what to boot into? Currently I am using TWRP to select partition a or b to boot into. It takes about a minute to load into TWRP but I wouldn't be doing it often. I don't think I really have a use for dual booting.
I appreciate the help. As soon as I am ready to proceed I'll update this post and If you're still around I'll receive your assistance. Thank you for your time.
