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)
yeti 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
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.
EnriqueMcquade 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.
EnriqueMcquade lgexalter1 But if you want to use TWRP for this phone, you need to implement some sort of navigation using the phone's dpad because TWRP is designed for devices with touchscreens.
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.
ZTEGuy Biden2020prez There is a way to patch the tmobile and cricket variants' firrmwares through meta mode he said it is easier to add apps on those variants, so maybe he did that
Biden2020prez lgexalter1 I'm curious if this would work. the regular magisk build bricks android 11 phones, (which is fine b/c there's a workaround), but I'm curious how this script works. Anyway, I won't be able to try.
Biden2020prez lgexalter1 Did you use the main channel or canary channel? [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link]
darth lgexalter1 Same way as EnriqueMcquade just use a device with a very similar chipset and kernel (like the at&t calypso)
ZTEGuy can you put a tracfone plan on a walmart family mobile phone (since walmart family mobile is owned by tracfone)?
