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)

Thanks, I like it too 😀 ! I only have the TracFone (family mobile) one.
What do you mean by modding?
If you're asking if I went into the tespoints I didn't.

darth

Biden2020prez I meant rooting

Biden2020prez

darth I'll test it on the tracfone one just in case
Do you know if it's possible to use furious gold remotely? (in case someone else has one)

I'm sceduled for anydesk today with him.
Also, if anyone wants, I have flash files for the other versions of this phone, but I don't think it'll help because I think you can only use the with furiousgold.

sdmde

Biden2020prez can i have boot .img

Biden2020prez

It's an OSP file, and when I tried to 7-zip extract it was password protected (probably so only furious gold people can use).

darth

To unlock bootloader: using [Login to see the link] reboot into fastboot, then using fastboot: fastboot flashing unlock will prompt the bootloader unlocking.

Biden2020prez

darth Thank you so much for this!!!

neutronscott

darth dang after I broke mine... isn't fastboot mode enough? We can fetch and flash partitions right? I'll maybe go get another one now.

Biden2020prez

lgexalter1 Nope

darth

lgexalter1 I have found MTKClient doesnt work with this phone. I dont think its a driver issue. I have tried both in windows and linux.

darth

lgexalter1 I have been trying to use mtkclient but I cant get the phone into brom mode. When I used mtk meta I was able to get the phone into fastboot mode but even with mtk meta it wont successfully boot into brom mode. SP flash tool and mtk droid tool recognize the phone but cant do anything with them, if I understand correctly its again because of the lack of brom mode.

darth

The issue here is how to pull the boot.img? Every guide I found online hasn't worked because darth. Is there any main stream phone that has a mt6973 and a 4.14.xx kernel? Maybe the recovery would be similar enough to use?

sdmde

Biden2020prez on alibaba they sell lg exalt for 100$

Biden2020prez

sdmde probably fake

sdmde

Biden2020prez its used not refurbished

sdmde

these kosher phone people dont even unlock the phone they just change the imei which is ilegal

darth

neutronscott We can flash. I dont think we can fetch with fastboot unless we fastboot into a custom recovery and use that to fetch.

Biden2020prez

darth Is there a custom recovery for this model?
