    I have successfully managed to filter this phone permanently even after reset it is still kosher I modded the launcher so it can work without browser if anyone wants a guide contact me

      sdmde Yes, that would be helpful, it might also work for the xp3/xp3 plus, and maybe even a starting point for expansion to other phones.

        sdmde If you want help writing it up, I can help

          Wow! That's huge. Does that mean someone can filter it himself and have the same level protection as TAG?

            Techgen It is a modded os if i had xp3 i can probably do it

              sdmde Oh, ok. The os of the xp3 is very similar to the xp5, so I'm sure you can do it if you had it.

                    To Kasher the Sonim XP5 Verizon ONLY, you need to flash the system image. This is a different process than just removing the browser app. It will fully rewrite the OS of the phone with a new kosher, browserless operating system. Since this is a process
                    Here are the steps:
                    1) First you need to Enable USB debugging:
                    Dial ##2387##
                    then go to developers options, find USB debugging, and turn it ON

                    2) Once you have control over the device from adb, use the command:
                    adb reboot bootloader
                    which will restart the device. You should see the bootloader menu appear after a few minutes.

                    3) Now your device is ready, you just need to get the image files. Download the files [Login to see the link] , and extract them all to the platform-tools folder. (root directory, no subfolders)
                    4) Once its all copied you can run these commands:
                    adb reboot bootloader
                    fastboot flash boot
                    fastboot reboot-bootloader
                    fastboot format system
                    fastboot flash recovery
                    fastboot flash system
                    fastboot flash splash
                    fastboot reboot
                    after a few minutes your phone should boot up, with your new, kosher operating system. Thanks [Login to see the link] for writing this.

                      Any other instructions?

                      sdmde how does having a certain carrier effect the filterablity of the phone?
