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.

    has anyone had a problem with this phone not getting all messages from a mess conversation?

      when i try downloading the mtk media it comes up that its expired

        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.

        ANYBODY know why when i click the number 1 with the mouse it stays down?

        bochur2000 Try running the program in command prompt and tell us the error. If the error is No MTK Preloader ports found, then unplug your phone, take out and put back in your phone battery (after waiting a second), plug your phone back in (without autobooter running), so a popup from windows comes up saying MTK preloader (or something like that), unplug the phone again, take out the battery again, put it back in, run autobooter, plug the phone in, and it should work. Please let us know if it does.

          Forgot to mention before: I have two T408DLs, one 8GB, one 16GB. Used images from [Login to see the link] (neutron.img for boot, recovery2.img for recovery). On the 16GB, first neutron.img gave Magisk root, so I could backup the original recovery via dd before flashing the new one. On the 8GB, first recovery2.img gave adb shell with su, backed up original boot with dd before flashing new one. Now have backup original boot and recovery. (There might be a better way to do it.)

          (Recovery2 is a good back door in case any mods goes south.)

            I am trying to create a solution for the lack of a functional dialer on this phone. I have started editing an existing dialer that I found on github to make it functional on this phone. If anyone else could make edits or suggestions it would be appreciated. [Login to see the link]

              HADELSCAPS We can't really help if we only know it shows "an error message". Maybe some more details?

                HADELSCAPS Just remove the app with root. (I'm pretty sure it's /system/app/Chromium/Chromium.apk)

                  I am trying to sign into a wifi network on an unfiltered TCL Flip and when it brings up the browser screen and asks me to enter the access key, not the whole screen is visible (the phone screen is narrower so I can't get to the first box of the access code). Any idea how to zoom out or get the mouse to scroll so I can access the whole screen? If not, how can I connect an external mouse to do it that way?
