Help Root New update MR2 !!! - Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello everyone
I wish some one can help here
Razer Phone 2 got new update today with a lot of improvements. ( that's why i want update)
Build number : P-MR2-SGT-RC002-RZR-190918.3666
The problem is if the phone is rooted it won't update until you restore or flash factory image because uninstall Magisk won't help.
So i flash my phone to 9 Pie and install the new update but i cannot Root it i try many times with no luck.
And the weird thing every time try to root and fail the phone go back to 8.1 Oreo not the 9 Pie !!!

Ok mine is August security patch but mine is a prototype. Did you try patching just the boot.img with magisk, then rename to boot.img and fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?

Yes i try the arter kernel way 3 times not work too phone stuck on boot logo.
arter kernel work on the previous update like magic but this new update is not work.

@kountry83
Ok i think the problem is with the slot A/B.
The previous 9 Pie is install on A slot and when you update the update use the B slot.
I Root 9 Pie it show the slot is A.
When i update and try to flash the patched boot.img it show B slot.
also check Magisk says : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Devices with A/B Partitions
Due to the fact that these devices have two separate partitions, it is possible to have the OTA installed to the inactive slot and have Magisk Manager to install Magisk onto the updated partition. The out-of-the-box OTA installation works seamlessly and Magisk can be preserved after the installation.

@khaled1881
Try flashing arter kernel or patched boot image to slot a and b.

I used method #2 to capture the OTA link. You'll have to search for the link and then you can copy it and share with us here if you don't mind?
Which firmware are you running when you get the update??

Nice . Did you Root the new MR2. For me still cannot root.
Is the Boot image from MR1 same the MR2 ? Because if it is the same i think we can Patch the image and root.

Systemless root XT1572 Security update

Hi,
Yesterday I went back to factory image of MM for XT1572 EU, then I flashed Beta-Super-SU 2.62 for systemless root.
This morning I have a message on phone about security update publish the 9 February..
What I have to do to apply it ?
I was thinking, go into Super-Su, then stick "fully unroot" ( I wonder if after I have to flash back the normal boot image and recovery ? since Super-Su had patched the boot for root..)
Any advices ?
Thanks

I'll go for a secure way, and IMHO I'll go stock (you can flash stock w/o wiping user data) and after that, apply the OTA.
I think you have to reflash boot and stock recovery.

Just go to supersu and stick unroot completly.
During the install of supersu, the original boot.img is backup. When uroot the supersu restore the boot.img and the recovery.
Then I update succefully the system I will put again TWRP when I back at home.

How to go about updating Nexus 6p angler-MMB29P(root/twrp) to MHC19I

My Nexus 6P is rooted and running Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) (supposed to be systemless but not sure anymore)
I have unlocked the bootloader and have twrp as my recovery.
I have exposed framework with some modules installed and working (notification bar clock now shows the seconds and stuff like that....)
So I recently got my Nexus 6p and the first thing I did was root and install twrp via adb and fast boot so I could use exposed framework. I would like to know what my options are in receiving ota updates? I have the Android security patch from January 1, 2016 and I just got an Android system update notification that includes a newer security patch from February and I'm not sure if I can get a specific ota that is flashable through twrp or if I'll need to back up my stuff and flash stock or if there's an easier way to do this because I'd prefer to not have to set up everything all over again.
If you need me to provide any further information about my device just tell me.
---
I'm currently on build MMB29P and I have checked the Google dev page on Factory Images for Nexus Devices
And apparently MHC19I is the newest.
use flashfire

I have all the OTA zips listen in my index. As previously mentioned you can use Flashfire to flash them without having to undo your modifications.
But with flashfire you will still lose all of your modifications like xposed apps? You have to redo it all? Anyone have a direct link to the new feb security update?

I've used flash fire back on my s4 so this is good but
Should I disable my exposed modules before I flash with flash fire as i can also reinstall exposed along with the ota? It's my First time using exposed because my s4 has a locked bootloader.

Downloaded modules should stay intact. However, I am not sure if the OTA update has library changes, that may affect Xposed installation. Anyhow, simply flashing the Xposed Installer zip will suffice.

Thanked you!
Will the latest google image for the 6p already have the security patch in it? I dont see a changelog or a timestamp so I cant tell if its just the old image.

No need to thank, just add this to your knowledge for future reference. That will be more than enough for me.
Which security patch are you talking about, specifically? The latest Google factory image as of now, contains the March security update. You can read a more detailed article here: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-03-01.html

Ok i just used flashfire to update with the image file. Made sure to follow the instructions and even got it to flash xposed for me after.
It all went smoothly. But upon reboot it looked like it was doing an android app update but it stopped and everything seems like it was before. The security update didnt work. Still says january.

Well then you just flash the system partition only. I would say, flash the OTA zip.
Wait! "with my matching build" ? Which build did you download?

Yes. You will need to pick MHC19I factory image, and extract the system.img from it. Flash it, and also the vendor.img too.
Every thing worked out I had downloaded the most recent build and exposed installer flashed through flash fire everything seems good so far.

Picking the current build is simply reflashing it. To update, you will need to flash the system.img from the latest factory image.

i have no idea! it states i have 1gb RAM too so i have a feeling the output details on this screen are borked.
Secuirty android version is 2016 november so just ideally would like to confirm if i try flashing 6.x it would work?
or do i need to work out how to downgrade the security version first?

Heh, I have noticed that. I think I'll just wait for November patch, then use AIO Tool.
A: Yes, you'll recieve official OTAs as long as you have stock recovery installed. But there are chances that after rooting if you install any OTA then it might brick your mobile.

Does it mean, that there is a chance, that after installing OTA update (with root), my phone may got bricked/bootloped/etc.?

Nope the recovery will find the zip as tampered as the zip signature verification fails. The only way is via custom recovery, but the stable release is almost here so thats not recommended.
