So I snagged one of these from ebay, NIB KAZ-F119
yeti but is not present on the postpaid unit (KAZ-F119) version F119_R024.
This is an eTalk post paid unit but the software version (build number) is F119_R030 and it's never been updated via Takumi nor Verizon. Any thoughts on this?
It lists:
Kernel version: 3.18.71-perf (gcc v4.8)
Hardware Version: F1_MB_1V2
Android Patch Level Dec 5, 2019
Android v 8.1.0
yeti Launch the Engineering Mode app by inputting the dialer code: ##825864##
This isn't working for me with the phone plugged in or not plugged in to my computer, even with a SIM in it (never a Verizon one). Is there another way to do this? I set it up as MTP under the >USB connection menu since the dialer code wouldn't work. Maybe it's build # specific?
yeti I bought a second eTalk off ebay, a postpaid model and when I popped my metro by t-mobile sim in and ran the Search networks tool, I was able to associate the device on Metro and have been using it as my daily driver for the last few days.
Can confirm for the F119 T-mobile SIMs work, it also works with a Tello SIM and a Redpocket SIM (CDMA/GMST), they seem to be unlocked from the factory. The only snag I had was a need for an extra reboot after swapping SIMs. It goes a little wonky after recognizing the new SIMis different than the old one, but everything is fine after the 2nd boot.
yeti a cool hidden key shortcut settings menu I found.
It takes a minute to get to this:
Menu>Tools & Settings>Phone Settings>Key shortcuts
yeti I added in a background to the drawer to improve contrast and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
Neat.
