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)

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?

FliphoneBochur

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

whynot

HADELSCAPS if you're having trouble with adb try using a root file explorer like [Login to see the link] and delete it from there (you may need to use [Login to see the link])

israelgold

can i install apps without installing a rom?

FliphoneBochur

israelgold Yes. By flashing neutron.img. Details on that in the other TCL thread.

Biden2020prez

FliphoneBochur this thread, no?

Reifam It's not like that. You can update your software then flash his boot img

Archie

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?

Can anyone update his ROM to the new KEFH update, so the calender gets fixed?

Jumptoheaven

Reifam he didn't make a Rom. He basically just tweaks the phone to allow apps and roots it.
This also has the consequence of blocking ota updates.

Reifam

Jumptoheaven So is anyone able to tweak the new version?

Reifam

Biden2020prez Does the recovery ROM that he posted allow OTA updates?

Biden2020prez

Reifam It's not allowing or blocking them.

The phone blocks it as a security when you root your phone. If you only flash a custom recovery I don't know for sure whether the phone will block updates or not, but I think it may download the update then fail to install. Don't take my word for it

jessiesmith

Reifam no, it will block it.

Reifam

Biden2020prez So how would I be able to update my phone?
