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

[unknown] I am interested. Can you post here?

I meant contact me if i should make a guide

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?

sdmde

Biden2020prez yes!

sdmde

Biden2020prez yes and any phone running andriod as long as it can be rooted

sdmde

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

Techgen

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.

sdmde thanks

Techgen

sdmde Thanks! Are there plans to make custom Roms for other services and xp3 AT&T and Sprint? And although it can't be factory reset, can this be undone by flashing back the original Rom?

Nhaaps

sdmde Can this work on other flip phones(lg exalt)?

Reifam

Any other instructions?

sdmde

Reifam only on verizon

Reifam

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

sdmde

Reifam it does not just since the rom is based of verizon it wont work on any other one you will get band errors

Reifam

sdmde what is "rom"?

sdmde

Techgen if it’s reset it’s still kosher. I don’t have the roms or the phones if you can get me one or the other i can do it. ya if someone had the rom with the browser they can reflash it i believe i can stop that but it’s risky and any taged phone can also be reflash ed

Techgen

sdmde Ok thanks. Tagged phones usually have usb debugging disabled, so how would you be able to flash with fastboot?
