Arter97 kernel has TWRP baked in and it works great.

Does that kernel work on PIE

Yes. I'm on Razer Phone 2 Pie MR1 running the r7 variant of the kernel

Download the image file and fastboot it to both boot_a and boot_b

If the bootloader is already unlocked then no, but if you have to unlock your bootloader it will wipe the phone.

Hi guys,
I'm wondering how can I flash this kernel, cause once I download it from GitHub it's a folder not a.img.
Is there somebody who can help me?
I would really like to install a stock ROM cause mine sadly is branded.

Go to Arter97's post in the "ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, Other..." section, where you can click the "Arter97" link that will take you to the right place.
From that link you should be at the "aura" folder. From there, go to kernels, then to latest([r9] as of this reply) folder and download the img file, not the zip.
For every update after that, grab the zip and flash it in TWRP. You should also make sure your bootloader is unlocked as per the Razer Dev site's instructions and that you've used their official PIE MR1 firmware images to convert your phone to the global variant from whatever brand yours is.

How do you fasboot?

Don't take this wrong, but if you are asking "How to fastboot", i would not do anything at the moment. Search XDA or Google for that matter and learn about fastboot, and what you are doing when you perform fastboot commands. You can mess up your device rather quickly, then you will be asking why and how to fix. Take a couple days and understand what we mean when we say fastboot flash xxxxxxxx. These commands are basically flashing files like the OS, boot system, etc. I am not a dev nor do i know all the system partitions and all the proper or technical lingo. But i do know if you flash the wrong img/file from the wrong device or for another device, it will bork your device.
Again, not trying to bash, but asking this question will not get many replies, if any at all, especially how to perform a fastboot command. Do the research, then you can read on the device thread, for your device, and understand what is meant.

no force encrypt on nexus 6p running mhc19i

Hi, can some one give me a guide on the nexus 6 p running mhc19i for no force encrypt, with either a system root that will allow me to remove apps, or a systemless root that I have to go through recovery, and is there a recovery for this version at this time other then the stock one

To decrypt you need to format the userdata partition:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
This will obviously wipe your storage so back it up to your PC first. You will also need to flash a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption first otherwise the stock kernel will just encrypt again when you boot after formatting. You need to use TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU to get root. I have detailed instructions in my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
yeh, is there a custom kernel for mhc19i

Of course, there are many. Have you actually looked?
yes, I have looked, but most of them have an aroma installer, I am totally blind so I need one I can flash through fastboot as there is no talkback in aroma or recovery mode. Even the stock no force encrypt would be helpful thanks.

You can flash any of them via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll just end up with the default settings. Why don't you just flash TWRP? Then you can install it the intended way.
I can flash twrp through fastboot, but I am totally blind and use a screen reader, so I would have to have some one around to use the twrp interface, since there is no speech there, so I need a kernel or modified no force encrypt boot.img I can flash through fastboot

Ahh, I see, that is definitely a difficult situation. So basically as I said, I believe any of them can be flashed via fastboot, but it isn't without its own work. You'd need to download the kernel zip, extract it, place the boot.img into your working directory (your fastboot folder), and use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command to flash it to the device. This will give you a kernel that doesn't force encryption, and you could then go on to use an app like Kernel Auditor to tweak the settings once you've booted into Android. How possible is this for you?
well I downloaded fk-r12-anykernel2.zip and unzipped it and there was no boot.img inside, so, can you send me a link to a boot.img for his kernel or the stock with no force encrypt, and am I missing any features by not flashing it through recovery, don't really care, just asking, but if you can please send me a boot.img for the verison I posted earlier in the thread.
Thanks so much for your help

Apologies for the late reply, been a bit busy with my family. It looks like Franco is one of the kernels that doesn't have the boot.img directly inside the zip. There's probably a way to extract it but it's beyond my expertise. I'm in the process of extracting the boot.img from some other popular kernels for you now though, I'll update here once I have some uploaded. It might take a while because my upload speed is woefully slow.

Actually, it turns out none of the kernels have an easily accessible boot.img inside the zip. Things have changed since I last unpacked a kernel. I'll see what I can find out for you.

No Stock ROM can not be flashed via twrp, only the OTA zips can be flashed via stock Recovery. This is the link to the fastboot ROM.

As I mentioned above. Moreover you can flash UnSU and then root using Magisk. Magisk allows hiding root detection for Safetynet.

I unlocked the bootlader and rooted the phone before giving it to my wife. During that whole process, fastboot had no problems recognizing the phone (obviously). Then my wife tried to update via the OTA which got her stuck in TWRP. I'd like to reflash the stock ROM, but the problem I have is I can't use fastboot to do commands line by line (as shown in the link above) since "fastboot devices" doesn't show my phone anymore. I was able to get her going on a custom ROM for now, but I'd like to put her back on the stock ROM so we won't encounter this problem again. I've reinstalled the Motorola driver several times, but no luck. ADB has no problems recognizing the phone when in recovery. One thing that happened recently was a big update to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if that is the reason for my fastboot issues.
I intend to give it a go on another computer once I get the phone again from the wife, but any advice until then would be appreciated.
Thanks. I've installed a custom ROM but im not happy with the results (specially the poor camera performace). Will this "undo" everything? I mean, stock apps, stock widgets, etc etc? (don't care if the bootloader stays unlocked and the warning moto message while booting). I know this may be a stupid question, but like Homer would say: "it's my first day"

Just a follow up to my previous post, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Motorola driver and ADB on the original computer, but for some reason it still won't "see" the phone in fastboot. I was able to install ADB/Fastboot and the Motorola driver on a separate computer (also Windows 10) to get fastboot to recognize the phone so I could issue commands to reinstall the stock firmware. I noticed, though, that the following commands FAILED when I entered them:
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
I'm not sure what those were for, but the phone seems to be working fine on the stock firmware now.
I flashed the one in the retail folder and it says ret-EU in the settings so flash that one

Missing emoji when returning to stock

I recently flashed my 6T to stock from EvolutionX and locked the bootloader, and somehow in the process, it seems my keyboard isn't able to display or type any emojis. The steps I followed are:
HTML:
1. fastboot reboot bootloader
2. fastboot boot twrp
3. flash latest OOS
4. reboot bootloader
5. fastboot boot twrp
6. flash OOS
7. boot system
8. reboot bootloader
9. fastboot oem lock
10. boot system and setup (sign in to google, etc)
Is there any step that I missed, or any way to recover this without rooting/unlocking again?

Reflash your ROM through stock recovery ..
You're missing the reserve partition cause you've flashed through twrp..

I have a T-Mobile device, which I converted to Global and finally installed a custom ROM. For any updates, I have to follow the same route - go back to T-Mobile, then global and then any other ROM. Can I use this utility to go back directly to Global from custom or would I still need to first flash T-Mobile ROM?

Technically, this process would be the same as a conversion. Just see if you need to backup any other extra partition, like persist.img or other.

thank you so much for this, ive been stuck or soft bricked for the last 4 days and this might just be my out.
Hi, thanks for this! Now I have a question, I have latest OOS with Magisk, but since upgrade to 11 i have System UI crashes and serious lags and freeze, I did 4 factory resets and its still there, I want to reflash all from 0, can I use this?

backup persist.img and modem.img just in case, and you should be ok to go.

@infected_ Considering that I am coming from an unlocked bootloader, will this method re-lock the bootloader and is this carrier-branded compatible?

Safe to use for Verizon OP8 5G UW or is this a method to go Global from a carrier-branded version?
infected_ said:
backup persist.img and modem.img just in case, and you should be ok to go.
PS: i'm going to upload the fastboot rom without the self extracting method to be easier for users.

sorry for another simple question; I haven't done system level things with Android in a long time. Where are instructions on how to backup those files? I did a little searching, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Thanks! Now I realize that even though I have an unlocked bootloader, I don't have root access. Now I have to figure out how to get that. Sigh.
And...I see much conflicting information on how to root my bootloader unlocked T-Mobile version OnePlus 8. Any advice/pointers to info on the best/easiest way to root it?

[Guide] ROOT OP8T OOS (A13)

Here's the patched boot.img for OnePlus 8T Android 13 KB2005_11_F.13 and F.15
Bootloader must be unlocked
(Have the img on your PC)
Instructions:
1: Reboot to bootloader "adb reboot bootloader"
2: Run CMD "fastboot flash boot" ~name of img~
Profit!
You're now rooted.
I've also attached the stock boot.img just in case anyone wants it.
Boot - Google Drive

Thank's

I highly doubt there'll be another OTA until next month. Check with the developer of the unofficial orange fox recovery, he'll most likely release a new version for A13. If not, I'll pull the boot.img and patch it again and post it here.

Lol don't tell me you've bricked it!!! You can probably flash the stock boot.img and that might fix it. Otherwise you'll have to use the msm tool to reflash the firmware.

Well if you're worried about bricking it then before you start making modifications, be sure to have the latest msm for it on your PC, and also take a full backup using Orange Fox recovery, and also have the stock boot.img on your PC. And if anything goes wrong just flash the stock boot.img. And if that doesn't fix it then restore the backup, and if that still doesn't work then you'll have to do a complete restore using a msm tool

No problem. If you run into any problems just let me know and I'll do what I can to figure out the simplest solution
I flash this boot.img and work like a charm easy root. Don't forget to post boot for next updates for KB2005. Thanks
Can these instructions be used for the KB2007?

If it's Android 13 11_F.13 then yes. But Orange Fox has a working recovery for A13 on our phone. So you can always flash Magisk that way if you want

You did flash unmodified boot.img before trying to update? Well, honestly idk why it won't install. Maybe you should try a different method of installing the update, like manually installing it
