Update 09/19/20: I have made a thread with custom ROMs and instructions how to install them, located here Update 09/09/22: @neutronscott Who has done the important work to hack this phone has a wiki with all the important information about this phone. His work can be found HERE , Update 09/01/22: Thanks to @neutronscott we now have the ability to install apps! Original Post: Does anyone have this phone? It looks different than the Alcatel My Flip 2 and the TCL My Flip2. According to Tracfones website it runs Android 11 and has more storage and ram than the My Flip. Is it the same thing or actually a new phone? Tips about this phone: Enable ADB: *#*#DEBUG#*#* ( *#*#33284#*#* ) Disable Apps with adb: Browser: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 org.chromium.chrome Texting: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.mms Secret Codes: Launcher list all apps: *#*#217703#*#* Barometer Calibration: *#*#1013#*#* Carrier Choose: *#*#22384#*#* Testing Settings *#*#73884647#*#* Enable APN editing: *#*#9663223#*#*

Very interesting. Doesn't look like Kaios, so I am assuming it's android. There is only a picture of the homescreen I not sure. I may get it, amazon $20 https://www.amazon.com/TracFone-Flip-Prepaid-Phone-Locked/dp/B09X7F2GCG I'm just scared it'll be super slow b/c it's alcatel

Biden2020prez Same thoughts. Although the Alcatel flip V which was Android for Verizon was significantly better than the KaiOs devices with the same hardware.

This may be a stupid question, but how can it be Alcatel and TCL?

I am very tempted to buy it... Im assuming I'll buy one. For the record, out of stock on tracfone, in stock on Amazon, and also in stock on total wireless for more expensive

I bought one. Will post back once I receive it and go through it...

I wonder if it would have this issue appsphoarflip (maybe someone can teach me how to properly quote)

Biden2020prez I dont think so. Its supposed to be running an AOSP Android 11 not Android Go.

darth From that post I can't tell what @appsphoarflip said Either: The schok is android 11 go, and all android 11 doesn't include the necessary apis. Or: The schok is android 11 go, and android 11 go doesn't include etc.

Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

Hi1 Did you enable rw for system with /vendor/bin/write_protect 0?
If you did and you are still facing issues then you wont be the first: Hi1 darth ZTEGuy chaimzalman It works itself out eventually.

60 days was up yesterday. Finally SIM unlocked & ready to party. 🙂

I noticed the email client doesn't have an Exchange/Active Sync option like the LG Classic Flip does. I wonder if it'd be as simple as pushing the Exchange2 services APK to it & giving permissions? That's worked in the past for me.

I can rip it from an AOSP 11 ROM if someone wants to try.

darth

I just got the 4058L (uscellular) and pulled super and flashed onto t408dl and all seems to be working fine...

Jackbeast

does anyone now if it works on hot mobile (israel) after its unlocked

a-one

Jackbeast probably YES because I used it in Israel with triple tel and it uses the hot mobile network

mailech

is there a option of copying and pasting without voice access?
and is there a option to add words to my t9 dictionary
and why does the phone come without emojis?

Jackbeast

a-one and after 60 days service you called up tracfone and they unlocked it no problem?

darth

Jackbeast You can unlock it after 60 days online [Login to see the link]. It does work on Hot, although I dont think it has all of the bands so you may not have as good service.

I try to install the custom ROM linked in the OP, followed the steps, ran MTKMeta 'Reboot Fastboot Mode', plugged in the turned off phone, but it seems that the device is not found.
any help with that?
PS, the phone does turn on for a few seconds with the TCL logo, but then turns off. (the battery level is at around 90% charged).

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance..

darth

AShayish Make sure you have mtk drivers installed. Also try plugging the phone in after the battery was removed for a couple seconds.

joey

AShayish btw make sure u have the TCL T"408"DL model, I know more than one person who they got T406Dl by wrong description...
