Hello friends, I am glad to find this website dedicated to flip phones!! is there anything i can do with Alcatel go flip v? afaik it is running android aosp and not kaios can i root? i tried installing the launcher posted here via bluetooth , but i cannot install also there is no option to select installing apps from unknown sources can i use adb to install apps ? is there any way to install custom rom? how to unlock from verizon, i dont see any unlock network code option even if i insert different sim

Just for the record, as the original poster stated, Alcatel GO Flip V is not a KaiOS phone. Every other Alcatel GO Flip runs KaiOS, but Alcatel GO Flip V runs Android. In order to enable debug mode, enter the code *#*#33284#*#* Installed apps do not show up on the built-in launcher; therefore you need to set them as Key shortcuts. (Or install a launcher and set it as a key shortcut.) (However, the Apps4Flip Launcher does not run.)

I have enabled USB debugging and can access the phone via adb however the usual command to uninstall doesnt work "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 ..." It gives me the error: [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]. Also the browser has a different package name not com.android.browser and Im not sure what it is, does org.chromium.chrome make sense to be the phones browser?

[unknown] I could be wrong but org.chromium.chrome sounds like the webview not the browser

lgexalter1 There is another package called com.android.webview that sounds like the webviewer...

OK so the package was called org.chromium.chrome and I was able to get rid of it with the following command " adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 org.chromium.chrome "

darth try "pm list packages browser" That should get the browser package name.

I just found the package: org.chromium.chrome, but when I try uninstalling it, I get: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR] Any ideas?

FliphoneBochur Did you read the previous posts in this thread? Did you try disable-user?

FliphoneBochur Needs root.

Does anybody know how to unlock the bootloader of this phone?

Biden2020prez

FliphoneBochur Probably: Boot into fastboot (either: abd reboot bootloader or press volume down + power on or volume up + power on), and fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot oem unlock)

Biden2020prez I should have been clearer in my question:
The phone comes up under fastboot devices, but when I try either of those commands, I get
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command') fastboot: error: Command failed
Does anybody know of another command that would work? Google's not giving me any answers...

FliphoneBochur Hmm... some phones have a weird fastboot. I am guessing we will need to get into EDL mode.

Biden2020prez Not that again! 🤦‍♂️

FliphoneBochur Try fastboot getvar unlocked. Maybe the bootloader is already unlocked...

FliphoneBochur

Nope. unlocked: no It's fine. I don't need root access.

I just discovered (by accident) that you can take a screenshot on this phone by pressing the volume down and power buttons simultaneously.
