NEC has there been any progress getting apps on this phone? the guy who was supposed to have a filter for it told me it's not ready yet..... i've successfully suspended the browser etc... btw i've had quite a number of times that the phone freezes up on me and needs to be restarted by holding down the power key for 10 seconds. has anyone else had this problem? also i noticed that assisted dialing has it's moods....
EnriqueMcquade I've managed to capture the flip phone firmware link via ADB while running the software update and uploaded the file on Google Drive, so here's the link: [Login to see the link] This includes the "boot.img" file.
Biden2020prez EnriqueMcquade Thanks! Do you mind giving instructions ( I want to try on a Cricket and T-Mobile version)
Apps4Flip-Admin EnriqueMcquade What you did is great, the only problem is that the firmware update that you got only contains patch files instead of the actual filesystem for the system partition which is what we need to modify to remove or install applications. Thanks for trying though.
jessiesmith EnriqueMcquade Is the firmware for unlocked phone or locked Tracfone? Is there a difference? Can I load your firmware into a locked tracfone?
EnriqueMcquade And i've managed to load magisk onto the flip phone via a patched boot.img i used from the firmware using the Magisk app on my Fire tablet and fastboot. But i also can't seem to get magisk app to work on this phone.
darth EnriqueMcquade Can you create an update zip to install the Magisk app and sign it with the cert included in the zip you shared? adb reboot sideload gets into sideload mode
Biden2020prez lgexalter1 I have been working with [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] on this phone. We managed to flash a patched boot img, but magisk didn't install, like EnriqueMcquade . A few people are working on a few things, and I think we'll be able to crack this phone. There is a way to patch the tmobile and cricket variants' firrmwares through meta mode, but I couldn't do it with any publicly available technologies (with mtk meta there are a few partitions that flash, but not most). I have high hopes though.
darth lgexalter1 Same way as EnriqueMcquade just use a device with a very similar chipset and kernel (like the at&t calypso)
EnriqueMcquade EnriqueMcquade It's too complicated for me, and possibly the recovery is going to think the zip is not verified.
Biden2020prez hk675 South Florida told me that Purifone made a filter for the T408dl, which is available, and they are coming out with one for the 4058 phones soon. I am assuming it is available at most locations.
ZTEGuy I will have to check with my local TAG location. But I'm assuming that means you can flash custom firmware on this phone, maybe someone on the forum can make a fully kosher option like the Sonim XP5
Biden2020prez @ZTEGuy#7208 You can, and people are working on it. The person I spoke to said he is pretty sure it's a custom firmware (although some filters aren't btw - like lg classic)
