I was wondering is there any RP2 ROMS like Lineage os or other ROMS? Or not yet or it's not possible to make for this kind of phone or maybe i didn't search more to know what's going on??
No specific ROM for RP2 but you can install GSI ROM after unlocking your bootloader.

Okay Thanks for the info, But i'm trying to root my phone on mr2 i can't find any thread that shows how to root mr2 with steps ??
I'm on MR 2 as well. Follow these steps :-
Unlock bootloader.
Flash Arter's kernel from bootloader mode. Then boot into TWRP recovery (comes with Arters kernel) and from there flash latest Magisk zip to get root.

Yes it does you have to flash the global version NOT the AT&T version.

Have you tried flashing Arter's kernel then reboot into system before trying to root?
If that works then maybe it's the rooting that's bricking the phone?
Which version of Magisk are you trying to flash?

The problem there is no steps that shows what to do I'm just using my own steps, and I'm not using any Magisk I'm just trying to flash Arter's kernel.
Maybe explain what steps you are doing and what errors you are getting then?
Can you put the phone into bootloader mode? Is it unlocked? Do you have adb and do you know how to use it?

Honestly it's easier to root phones today than it ever has especially the RP2.
If you are truly unlocked this should only take you minutes to do.
First things first. Open a terminal where you have ADB / FASTBOOT installed or if you setup the attributes properly just open a terminal.
Type adb devices and it should give you your serial number of your phone. If not adb isn't installed properly.
If so, type adb reboot bootloader and phone will boot to bootloader.
Type fastboot devices and again it should give you the phones ID. If not fastboot isn't installed properly.
If so, type fastboot flash boot and the name of your arter97 file.img this will also install TWRP.
After installation from bootloader menu scroll down to reboot recovery and it should boot to TWRP.
Click cancel then swipe to allow modifications. In TWRP menu select INSTALL then choose where you've saved the magisk 20.3 file on your SD or internal drive.
After installation reboot system then install magisk manager if not already installed. At this point you're rooted. Have a great weekend!!
Good luck! :good:
Make sure you have unlocked your phone, suggest following razer official instruction.(new xda user cant post outside link, search it)
1.Unlock the Bootloader 2.Unlock the Bootloader Critical Partitions 3.Flash official System Image
And please note unlock will erases all user data on the Phone!
After unlocked your phone you can flash arter97 kernel or f(x)THaxxorX TrinityKernel. Both of them contain TWRP, install Magisk Manager and flash Magisk in TWRP. Get rooted.

The fastboot command to flash a boot img is

Also, make sure you're using the Razer recommended USB cord and ADB/Fastboot.
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/
Cables
When connecting your Razer Phone to a computer for any development, it is advised by Razer to not use the in-box USB Type-C to Type-C charging cable for flashing. The supplied cable is specifically engineered for fast power delivery, not for data transfer. Razer recommends you use a USB 3 Type-A to Type-C spec-compliant cable for any device flashing.

Hey, I recently got a Nexus 6, and instead of installing CM as I usually do, I'm going to try rooting and using Xposed. The trick is that I use Linux exclusively, so I can't use the one-click installers. It's a Nexus, so unlocking is a piece of cake, and I know how to use adb and fastboot to install a custom recovery.
From there, I'm not totally sure what to do. I downloaded the SuperSU zip from chainfire, which I'll install from twrp... Then... Do I need to install busybox or something? I guess I'll have to side load xposed after that?
Also, not sure what the update path will be after that. I guess rooting will break OTA... So what do I do?
Sorry for being such a newb! Thanks!
to root..
fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader
fastboot flash twrp recovery
flash the latest supersu zip within your new recovery
then just reboot, and you have root.
to update, you can flash any updated stock rooted rom, or you can update via fastboot.

I need to understand how to update to the new Stock merged partition. Have been reading general advice in various threads that we need to flash new China developer rom. Can someone elaborate regarding how to do this and where to get this rom? Do we need to re-root? Do we need to reflash recovery?
I see that many new MM roms are using this new Stock partition like Matoxxi's newest RR rom. So want to know. Detailed help is highly appreciated... Thanks...
+1
I too would like to see a proper procedure..
This is what I personally did. Was on extended partition. With TWRP as recovery.
1) Flash the cwm r11( or any working cwm) recovery. Needed to flash the repartition zip!! Don't use TWRP. Did this once and had a dead phone. Reboot to recovery. You'll be on CWM.
2) Flash the back to stock partition zip. Choose the one with "el pierro verde" in it.
3) Flash TWRP recovery. Boot to recovery.
4) Flash the 5/12/17 miui zip. This is the ROM which merges the partitions. At this point the partitions are not merged yet!
4.1) Boot the phone up. Reboot to recovery
5) Repeat step 4. Now the partitions are merged.
6) Flash any ROM that you desire.
Of you are on stock partition with TWRP skip steps 1-3.
Good luck.
If you are on MIUI ROM, install 5.12.17 first to merge partitions and then 6.2.4 via Updater app. Xiaomi.eu version is tuned for europe/outside china, Google Apps are included in rom.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960690691
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676696
Or you can just MiFlash 6.2.4 chinese developer rom factory image from en.miui.com.
Thanks for the details. I did try this out, am on original stock partition... Flashed 5.12.17, two times as per step 4. Rebooted but the partition remains resolute at old stock and does not merge. Am using twrp 2.8.7. Tried this twice, no success... Need advice... Thanks
The only quick way to setup the new partition for now is to fastboot flash the Chinese Dev ROM, as you yourself already stated. You can flash it by fastboot flashing it using Mi PCSuite and choosing the Beta ROM.
On my experience, after the flash I got my bootloader locked ("fastboot oem device-info" resulted in Device unlocked = false), but I can simply unlock it through fastboot without any problem.
From that point, you can easily flash any custom ROM.
Or even MIUI V6, with manual, per partition fastboot flash rather than using MiFlash/Mi PCSuite because of different partition layout; V6 and lower got two boot, modem and system partitions for TDB, while the new has only one.

Can you boot the phone after the first flashing? Than reboot to recovery and try step 4 again.
Have a look to
http://en.miui.com/thread-209941-1-1.html
there you can find a zip (cancro_merge_partition(2).zip) and the guideline how to use. For me it worked fine.
It does the repartitioning through fastboot by executing 1 shell script. Afterwards you might want to update your recovery rom to an English version.

I believe you have to use default Mi Recovery. One time flash of 5.12.17 was enough on my Mi4.

It got auto updated? So did you flash stock recovery? Or used twrp
I downloaded 6.2.4 into my phone and then choose the file to update from miui itself, and it will reboot to twrp recovery and install. After fully install and reboot. Only then it will have merged partition and MM miui. And back to stock recovery automatically.
I just fastboot 6.2.4 rom successfully... Now will flash twrp...
And made my first big mistake going in for 6.2.4 beta... It has locked bootloader and a load of Chinese **** you can't make sense of and have to forcefully bear it. Please can anyone help me to unlock the bootloader without begging to the ****ty miui folks?

First of all, if you planned to stay on MIUI MM, you don't have any options than requesting an unlock permission to Xiaomi.
If you just want the merged partition and prepared to flash any custom ROM or MIUI V6, enter fastboot then send this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The reason is that when you unlocks the bootloader through fastboot, it automatically wipes out your phone. IDK why, but possibly inherent to Android's design for security reasons.

OEM Unlocking button? You meant on the Developer Options? That button is currently useless with no function at all. If you want to ascertain if your bootloader is unlocked or not, try sending
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
via fastboot. If the "Device unlocked" comes out as true, then your bootloader is already unlocked.
Ooooor just try to flash any custom recovery/ROM. If it works, then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Yeah, it might be set to true once you had flashed another unsigned image to the eMMC (or when you disconnect the battery, IDK), probably for the warranty checks :q.

Worked for me
Thank you very much.
ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide insteadDownload and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting upb -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.
Don't forget to flash to both slots to get everything to stick.
Its pretty hard to fail safetynet. I've flashed many different things on this phone and never failed it.
JeSUS! FINALLY! After trying out that other method of rooting, installing twrp and magisk (by using patched images) THIS worked.

Unlock bootloader by holding the volume up and volume down buttons while the device is powered down, after connecting to a USB ota cable.
If you unlock your bootloader, your warrenty is void.
not much detail needed here really, just Flash the recovery.tar to AP file in Odin and you can use fastboot

This works on my device, but use at your own risk, as if used wrong this could cause you to brick your device.

yeah, this is the stock recovery patched so you can use fastboot, the reason i made this is because some people were having trouble with the touchscreen on twrp, as a general rule twrp is better

i need to perform some checks to make sure my adb drivers are all functional before giving you a full answer, but assuming that your device is pre rooted with magisk and you want to flash zips try this
Magic ToolFlash lets you flash ZIP packages directly from your Android device
Magic ToolFlash is a unique Magisk module that allows you to install flashable ZIP files from a terminal emulator app on your phone.
