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)

I plan on making a program that simplifies the entire process of rooting this phone (and maybe installing kosher roms), but that's on my bucket list for the future.

Biden2020prez the shock classic has google services (such as Google play services , Google assistant etc ) and I'm assuming the shock flip also does . Which means it's probably running android go

Biden2020prez

zvirose I has the framework installed, but no play store or google apps

EnriqueMcquade What method did you use to get the firmware link?

Does anybody know why magisk is not showing up in the list of apps when I dial ##217703##. I followed whynot’s guide how to root the phone exactly as stated (3 times) and its still not showing up. I even tried restarting the phone and it still didn’t work. does this have to do with that I installed the kosher rom?
Also does anybody Know how to install a microg for the tcl, kyocera and lg classic?

HADELSCAPS Yes, If you install the Kosher Rom, it blocks all additional apps, including magisk

Reifam

Does anyone know how to remove the video playback in the galley through adb?

Reifam

Biden2020prez I have the T-Mobile version; I don't think it is compatible.

Biden2020prez

Reifam I have no clue what you mean by this, please explain

Reifam

Biden2020prez Sorry for the confusion. I think the custom ROMs won't work for the TCL Go Flip (the T-Mobile version of the TCL Flip 2). Neutronscott's ROM still works.

Biden2020prez

Reifam Neutronscott didn't make a rom, he helped us bypass restrictions and install apps, and also many other things like getting write access to system.

And correct, you probably wont have service if you install one of [Login to see the link] kosher roms.

FliphoneBochur i cant open the autobooter on my computer do you know why that may be happening

nospamboz

I wanted to report back that today I got the 60-day carrier unlock texts from Tracfone, which worked fine for both the 8GB and 16GB T408DLs, then I went forward on rooting for the 16GB, with the 8GB for a future date. I used the python version of the autobooter on a Linux notebook, which put the phone in fastboot mode, then "fastbootd" mode for speed, permitting me to flash the neutron.img for Magisk in just a few seconds. (The flash did a "factory reset" of sorts, but the phone was still carrier unlocked.) It took a couple of boots, but I got Magisk fully installed, was able to "su" an "adb shell", write-enabled the system, then got developer mode working. That's proof-of-concept for me. I'll get more into it later.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible.
