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)

I fixed my problem using the adb from platform-tools. I'm not sure why that works, but it does.

EnriqueMcquade

Do anyone have the original, non-rooted firmware for T408DL that i can use to revert the phone back to its original state?

EnriqueMcquade

lgexalter1 i ment a firmware that has the file system unchanged because i was trying to remove root from this phone.

EnriqueMcquade

lgexalter1 but does it take out the apk installation?

breakingnews

lgexalter1 it worked!!!!

mkw

Biden2020prez

mkw

Biden2020prez thanks

mkw

I tried doing the filter but I got stuck by the part of typing the adb code because I didn't know how to go about it, can someone help me (the steps that needs to be done for this part)?

whynot

mkw after opening the command prompt window, copy and paste the lines and hit enter after each line

Could someone help me I don't know how to what to do after I'm on fastboot mode when I want to type in ADB it says waiting for device I have the TracFone version and it's unlocked already (used it for 60 days with them)

darth

Google 'how to use adb' there are many guides online. The basics are is that it is a command line/prompt program. You need to open command prompt or powershell on the directory where you have adb downloaded. Once there you run the commands.

darth I know how to use ADB I use it a lot but I don't know how to use fastboot properly. When I was in fastboot I typed in ADB fastboot flashing unlock and it said searching for device and it didn't show up any message on my phone screen.

meir

And you need to write ./ before each command

whynot

meir you only need to do that in powershell. to use command prompt type CMD in the file path bar in the folder that adb is stored.

neutronscott

fastboot is not adb fastboot

a-one

neutronscott in ADB I typed fastboot flashing unlock

a-one

neutronscott when I'm on fastboot mode I can't use ADB it doesn't work and can't connect to my phone

Biden2020prez

a-one i had that issue in an old windows. Maybe 7

lgexalter1 I installed the drivers from the A4F website and it doesn't work

darth

a-one You installed the mtk-drivers and the fastboot drivers? You need to have fastboot drivers installed in order for fastboot commands to work. Adb will still work but fastboot wont without the fastboot drivers.

williammredman

a-one Make sure you have device manager open. When you first enter fastboot mode, you should see an android device in other. Quickly right click it to upgrade driver software > Browse from my computer > Let me pick from list of devices > Mediatek > Android adb interface or android Bootloader. If you don't see mediatek, make sure the mediatek drivers installed correctly, do the steps above but stop at browse my computer, click browse and choose the folder where the mediatek drivers were installed/extracted too.
