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.

      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

          EnriqueMcquade It's too complicated for me, and possibly the recovery is going to think the zip is not verified.

            EnriqueMcquade Thanks! Do you mind giving instructions ( I want to try on a Cricket and T-Mobile version)

              the t408dl can be filtered at TAG

                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.

                  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

                  @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)

                    Purifone exclusively makes custom firmwares to kasher phones

                      ZTEGuy That's why he said he is pretty sure it's a custom firmware

                          hey peeps,
                          picked this device up at someones request

                          a few of us are working on a custom recovery for it, and unblocking app installs. hope to have some updates soon

                          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.

                              Apps4Flip-Admin I know but problem is, the actual firmware of this flip phone and it's variants including TCL Flip Go and TCL Classic are nowhere to be found on the internet, I tried to search for the firmware using the firmware version, and no results. The only way we could get the firm ware is either contact TCL or someone that could dump the firmware of this phone using JTAG pins.

                                lgexalter1 yes u can pull firmware with custom recovery
