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)

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

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.

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?

Biden2020prez

lgexalter1 Sorry for the ignorance, is there something I should try? (I may figure out by the time you reply, I'm pretty good at searching things up.

sdmde

Biden2020prez try and find a guide on how to pull stock rom from meditek devices

Biden2020prez

darth That's the issue I'm having on furious gold?

sdmde

Biden2020prez does the non tracfone ones allow apk install

Biden2020prez

sdmde I don't have one and I'm not looking to spend the money. If you see one on ebay less than 25 post link

sdmde

Biden2020prez also who made the hebrew keyboard

Biden2020prez

Biden2020prez I think maybe if I get the other versions, I can furiousgold read device firmware, then we'll have the boot.img, which may work on the TracFone model. I'm only stalling because I don't wanna pay for one.

Reifam

Biden2020prez If you have time, are you able to explain the process in detail, so if someone has the other version and isn't so familiar with this topic, he can get the boot.img.
Thanks

sdmde

Biden2020prez wjat about miracle box look into that

Biden2020prez

Reifam I personally would use furious gold, (I usually use it for unlocking phones, this shouldn't be so hard though.) But furious gold costs close to $150, so for anyone else, it wouldn't be so worth it. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone else has the other models anyone.

If anyone has the device, I can probably give instructions for SP Flash Tools. But if no one has it, I won't.

sdmde

did anyone blow a fuse yet?
