Phone 2 by Razer

So here's the things that are not working for me:

  • SIM Card/VoLTE (on Verizon... others may have more luck on different carriers)
  • Bluetooth (moving or deleting BluetoothResCommon.apk from /vendor/overlay fixes Bluetooth immediately for audio (couldn't test phone calls since they don't work for me)
  • Compass

Steps to install

  • Step 1
    Download Phone 2 firmware Android Pie MR3 v3141
    Download phusson's AOSP Android 11.0 v300.i
  • Step 2 Turn phone on in fastboot mode by holding volume down while powering on Connect to computer
  • Step 3 Flash the entire phone to factory settings:
    sudo ./flash_all.sh
    
    Then login into the phone and get all updates, reboot, get more updates etc.
    Once complete, reboot the phone into fastboot again by holding volume down as the phone turns on
    Go to recovery and run a factory reset
  • Erase the current slot's system partition
    sudo fastboot erase system
    
  • Flash the GSI system partition
    sudo fastboot flash system system-roar-arm64-ab-floss.img
    
  • Check which slot you're on by running
    sudo fastboot getvar all
    
    and look for (bootloader) current-slot text it should have an 'a' or a 'b' as the slot.
  • Disable Android Verified Boot using the vbmeta.img from the Original Razer firmware posted above. Replace the @ symbol below with the proper letter for the slot you are on and run the command below to disable verified boot
    sudo fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_@ vbmeta.img
    
  • Cross your fingers, and tell the phone to reboot! It should boot into AOSP Android 11
    sudo fastboot reboot
