Good luck getting them to tell you. Interestingly in settings > Phone settings > security there is a list of Trusted Sources, and also an option Install From storage, which says not allowed when you click on an APK.

    Maybe with Root Access we can add trusted sources

          Does anyone here have experience using SP Flash Tool? This phone has a MT6739CH chip and Im trying to download the firmware off the phone but Im having issues with finding/creating the scatter file.

            We would love to take a crack at this phone but unfortunately we don't have one yet.

            In terms of the software and hardware though how is the quality? Is there any button lag, is the software fluid and fast? How does it compare to an LG Classic or Exalt?

            I just had our secretary order 3 of them for our developers. Let's see what we can do.

              There is no button lag. When you disable apps the icon disappears and the other ones shift in the grid (unlike the awkward blank space in the classic). Buttons are good and has plastic in between them so you shouldn't have the buckling issue that Ive had with the classic. Has extra buttons which could be utilized if we got button mapper working. I havent actually used the phone as a phone yet but the texting has kt9, I havent found a way to add to the dictionary. Any other specific questions?

              Thanks for the response, it sounds like a high quality piece, so once they come and our developers get a crack at it we will see if we can start loading up some kosher apps on it.

                Apps4Flip-Admin Yeah, it's pretty high quality, maybe even nicer than LG Classic. Charges with USB-C.

                    Biden2020prez Yes. It seems like it goes into download mode (with volume up) and immediately goes out, judging by the device attached and the device detached pings from my computer.

                        Biden2020prez I tried that. It didnt work. This is what it showed:

                        Waiting for device
                        Seemingly the device is going to preloader instead of brom, the fix to this should be some vol+/- pressing when plugging in. Issue is I cant find what to press and Im scared its something else because there are so many physical buttons (eg keypad works in recovery)

                          Yes, this is pretty similar

                          darth I'm trying to create the same error you have (didn't have it). Please post the full adb commands you used to get that error

                            It's an interesting error. I think it usually happens when someone tries to install an update to an app but the original app didn't uninstall correctly.
