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 How do I disable dm-verity?
Update: I figured it out, thanks

darth

ZTEGuy Thank you for trying, Sorry I bricked your device.

lgexalter1 It was pulled directly from device (and flashed fine on my device before I shared it)

Flippy Settings>About Phone>Software information>Software version

ZTEGuy Did you get your phone back working? I can share an unmodified super. [Login to see the link]is a zip with all the vbmeta.

ZTEGuy

darth Can you share the unmodified super?

Flippy

darth Settings>About Phone>Software information>Software version

Yes I know how to find the software version. My question is what is the newest version? Mine says "Software version 03"

techy

darth Can you share an unmodified super? I tried rebooting as you suggested, and now none of my keys work 😥

ZTEGuy

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how to change the splash screen when the phone starts up?

darth

ZTEGuy Its located in product>media>bootanimation.zip I tried changing mine but for some reason I was only able to delete the current one and unable to put in a new one in that directory. There are plenty of guides online on how to make a bootanimation.zip. You can also pull out the current one and just place new pictures instead.

ZTEGuy

how do you get su access on this phone

darth

ZTEGuy Follow [Login to see the link] guide on his github. I linked it in the Original Post of this thread

ZTEGuy

okay got it

ZTEGuy

I keep trying to push my new bootanimation.zip using the command "adb push bootanimation.zip /product/media" and it keeps responding "remote couldn't create file: Read-only file system", even though I did [Login to see the link]'s instructions

darth

ZTEGuy Your not going to have root access unless you are in shell. You can try pushing it to /sdcard/ and then in a root shell try copying it to /product/media. Good luck!

darth

Hi1 Did you enable rw for system with /vendor/bin/write_protect 0?
If you did and you are still facing issues then you wont be the first: Hi1 darth ZTEGuy chaimzalman It works itself out eventually.

ZTEGuy

darth how do you copy in shell

ZTEGuy

darth I just disabled dm-verity

darth

ZTEGuy Ok good to know, I will add that to my zip...

Biden2020prez

On the cricket and tmobile versions, all 4 dpad keys can be customized.

ZTEGuy

does anyone know how to move files within the device with adb

Biden2020prez

sdmde here is an app to launch that screen [Login to see the link]

Biden2020prez Biden2020prez Biden2020prez the link has expired can you (or someone else) repost it
btw its better to use (Dropbox?) or google drive they won't expire

ZTEGuy

lgexalter1 thanks

ZTEGuy

I tried to add my boot animation but it doesn't work

SamFried

I heard that TAG is already filtering the phone...

Biden2020prez

SamFried yes, This was discussed upthread (please read all 570 posts before posting 🙂 )
disclaimer: that was a joke

ZTEGuy

SamFried I heard that this filter isn't so reliable.... (I can't say anything else on this forums)
