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)

Biden2020prez Can you share the file location? adb shell pm list packages -f com.android.documentsui

Biden2020prez

darth Don't have the phone on me, but I will.

(So I am assuming I shouldn't update?)

di2020

in system > Product what is "remove_apk_file" ?

I have it in /system/priv-app/DocumentsUI

darth

Biden2020prez I no longer have that folder...

Apps4Flip-Admin

Can someone extract that apk and post it here, I want to do a bit of reverse engineering and see if we can figure out why it was removed

darth

Apps4Flip-Admin My phone I am working with now is updated... But [Login to see the link] is the DocumentUI from the LG Classic

Biden2020prez

Apps4Flip-Admin [Login to see the link] - Here is my system/priv-app, if someone wants to compare. Inside is a folder documentsui, with the apk and odex/vdex

Biden2020prez

Apps4Flip-Admin Maybe they removed it because it wasn't flip compatible. (you couldn't press)

di2020

i only have updated phones but more are coming next week

Biden2020prez

darth A bit off topic, but you are able to successfully deodex apps from LG Classic? can you deodex fphome? I want to modify it. Send it to [Login to see the link]

darth

Biden2020prez [Login to see the link] After comparing the previous priv-app with the updated one, the only difference I found was DocumentsUI was missing

I made a mess of mine. See final pic: [Login to see the link]
Maybe I will find an exposed pin but otherwise I don't expect to buy another unless I can help darth get into the bootloader. just looking it seems KCOL0 does go to the DRAM chip but I can't find it's layout. It's KMFN60012B-B214
edit: seems KCOL0 is already grounded but also I could've ruined it.

darth

neutronscott edit: seems KCOL0 is already grounded but also I could've ruined it.

Does this mean that it cant be forced into brom mode? Where do you think KCOL0 is? [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link]

Oh I had my picture upside down. and I was looking at a 6735 datasheet. Not finding 6739 layout

neutronscott One test point below the volume buttons does go to vol down. I tried seeing where the other went as it's likely the key. it's circuitry is right above it though. having a hard time testing it without a magnifying glass but perhaps just have to ground other side of the diode just above it? :/

Can you be more specific about which point I should try?

Tremendous help. I found an LG manual that mentioned AE6 but thought it was higher up. I raked through that area and it did not ring out. At a loss again.
