Razer Phone 2 generally works fine with this Android 11.0.

Things that may (not) be working:

  • SIM Card/VoLTE (on certain carries such as Verizon)
  • Bluetooth (moving or deleting BluetoothResCommon.apk from /vendor/overlay fixes it)
  • Compass

Steps to Install (Windows & Linux)

  • Step 1: Unlock bootloader
    Follow Razer's instructions

  • Step 2: Download firmwares
    Phone 2 Stock Firmware and phhusson's AOSP Android 11.0 v300.i

  • Step 3: Enter fastboot
    Hold down volume button while powering on
    Connect to computer via USB

  • Step 4: Flash phone to factory settings
    Windows: flash_all.bat
    Linux: sudo ./flash_all.sh
    Once complete, reboot the phone into fastboot again by holding volume down as the phone turns on.
    For the following commands, remove sudo if you are using Windows.

  • Step 5: Erase active system partition

sudo fastboot erase system

  • Step 6: Flash GSI on system partition
sudo fastboot flash system system-roar-arm64-ab-floss.img

  • Step 7: Check active slot you're running on
sudo fastboot getvar all

Look for (bootloader) current-slot text, it should have an 'a' or a 'b' as the slot.

  • Step 8: 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

  • Step 9: Cross your fingers, and tell the phone to reboot! It should boot into AOSP Android 11. It may take some time for its maiden boot though.
sudo fastboot reboot
