      ZTEGuy I had similar issues darth I didnt look into it much but if you resolve the issue please let me know

      It seems to be turning on and functioning, just the screen keeps looping white except for a small strip which changes as the phone turns on. I have tried flashing it with both the prepaid and postpaid softwares. the Verizon software upgrade assistant tool fails to recognize the software version of the phone.

        ZTEGuy Are you using a standalone version of QFIL, or the QPST one that Yeti posted?

        I am using QPST

        Did you install the Qualcomm Drivers?

        (If you have another computer to try it on, that may be helpful. It took me 3 computers until I got it working - But I had a different error)

        Yes I did install the drivers

          Hey ZTE guy, before plugging in your phone to the USB cable try running QFIL as an administrator on your computer and then connect up the phone.

          What are the benefits of flashing to the F119 firmware for an F019 phone? I'm currently using an F019 as a backup phone while I wait for a new Pixel Pro and i've become rather smitten with the classic flip phone design. I would love to be able to at the very least install slack and/or sync to google for my contacts so I can read messages sent to me by work colleagues.

            Yeah that's a pretty big benefit :xD

            Hi friends,
            I've been able to get my F019 connected via QPST to show the QDLoader 9008. I can even get the build type ready to go as well, but I'm not able to get the QCN backup to work.

            I can see in the status it's saying, "Invalid SPC Code, ignored".

            Curiously, 00000 is not working. Does anyone have any advice? I bought this over ebay awhile ago and it works well with my verizon sim on a prepaid account. Could it be the last 4 digits of my IMEI ?

            Edit: are you guys using windows 10 or 11 for this? I'm wondering if there's some sort of driver conflict going on.

              Can anyone help me disable the browser on the f119 version?

              Has anyone mounted system as rw? How?

              FATANG i think i know why they removed it in the newer software versions.

              Hi all, I recently received one of these from Verizon as part of their wave of replacements for old 3G phones. It's has a F119_R035 build number. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get WebADB to connect to it. I used the ##2016## code to enable developer options, and in notifications "USB debugging connected. click to disable USB debugging" appears when the phone is connected via USB, but WebADB just gives the "Please authorize the connection on your device". I was able to bring up the Developer Options Menu once or twice after going to "click to disable USB debugging", but now I can't even get back into that. I just get a message saying "please enable developer options first", even though I already did that. I'm hoping I didn't mess something up and will need a factory reset to get it to work.

              On a side note, there's something I noticed. While looking around the phone for a flashlight in the tools, I was disappointed that there wasn't one. Seems kind of weird that a standard feature like a flashlight isn't available on a phone with a working flash. However, there technically is a flashlight mode for it. After entering ##2016## , the menu that comes up has a manual test option where you test all of the phones features. One of those is a flashlight, and if you tap it and and don't select "Test Pass" or "Test Fail", it will probably stay on as long as you want.

              Please excuse the low image quality.
              I'm not sure why they didn't just make it easily accessible from the tools menu. Maybe they just didn't want the LED to burn out.

              You must flash the firmware fembycat posted

                Biden2020prez Hmm, I hadn't considered downgrading to a previous firmware. I guess I can give it a shot and hope for the best.

                I just remembered that a while back someone from tag told me they stopped doing etalk because some phones wouldn't turn on after.
