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)

Think my vMouse is ready for testing: [Login to see the link]

I installed it with adb shell (like I do everything) but should work using the Magisk app as well.

adb push vMouse.zip /sdcard
adb shell
su
magisk --install-module /sdcard/vMouse.zip
reboot

Activate/Deactive: Tap * (the top one for favorite contacts)
Scroll wheel: 7/*, 9/#, volup/voldown (scroll up/scroll down respectively). The volume buttons don't send repeat codes so they need to be pushed a lot, the others can be held down.
Left click: OK
Right click: 3 (untested)

Well right click won't work well I didn't stop the 3 key from being passed through so it'll dial 3 oops

neutronscott This is awesome, keep it up!

neutronscott installed and it shows the installed module but nothing happens when i try to toggle. edit: you meant the favourite contacts key! sorry! btw - the mouse does toggle off. but it won't dissapear. any suggestions?

techy

neutronscott Is it necessary to first do this [Login to see the link] ?
EDIT: Just tried it without and it worked without remapping!

Also, can you give some instructions on how to remap the keys?
I tried just running all the listed commands, but I got an error
Gflip6_TF:/ $ su Gflip6_TF:/ # PATH=$(magisk --path)/.magisk/busybox:$PATH Gflip6_TF:/ # mkdir -p /data/adb/modules/mymodule && cd $_ Gflip6_TF:/data/adb/modules/mymodule # /data/adb/modules/mymodule # vi module.prop /system/bin/sh: /data/adb/modules/mymodule: can't execute: Is a directory 126|Gflip6_TF:/data/adb/modules/mymodule # data/adb/modules/mymodule # vi module.prop /system/bin/sh: data/adb/modules/mymodule: inaccessible or not found

I used the 1632 driver and it worked for me.

I still think a driver issue is stopping us from modifying the nvram.

Flippy

Flippy I had that issue [Login to see the link]

Never got the right answer.
I extracted all of them and then installed 2 of them (if I remeber correctly) The second one of them did some very scary-looking CMD prompt window stuff with tons of words scrolling.... After a while it finished, and I guess it worked, beacuse after that it was able to find the device.

As a help to the forums, please take note of which one(s) you install and let us know back here what worked 😊

Hi1

Hi, I installed neutron.img when I'm trying to install the full version of magisk I get a message /dev/block/mmc... is read only. any help?

Biden2020prez

Hi1 run su /vendor/bin/write_protect 0

Hi1

Biden2020prez i treid that but adb replies permission denied

neutronscott

You shouldn't have to unlock write to /system unless you plan to modify the ROM

Biden2020prez

Hi1 Are you rooted? Is magisk installed?

Hi1

Biden2020prez I don't know if I'm rooted but all I did is I followed
[Login to see the link] instructions and yes it installs magisk for me (I unlocked the bootloader as well)

Hi1

Biden2020prez so how do I root this phone?

Biden2020prez

Hi1 so you need to download full magisk from github?

Hi1

Biden2020prez in [Login to see the link] instructions are the last 2 steps this
Dial *#*#217703#*#* to bring up list of appsLaunch Magisk (stub downloader) download full version.
Launch Magisk (Press down for recent apps) and allow to reboot.

So when I launch the app and I wanna install the full version it says read olny

Biden2020prez

Hi1 and su says permission denied? It doesn't show a dialog on your phone?

Hi1

Biden2020prez what do you mean a dialog?

neutronscott

Sometimes the app unlock command doesn't run right. Try rebooting

Biden2020prez

@"NEC"#p82212 wait ten seconds

Biden2020prez

Hi1 If magisk is installed you are rooted.

Biden2020prez
