I happen to have the TCL Flip Go. Amusingly, it seems that TCL's support team is in the dark on these phones as they tried to tell me they don't have the capability for Dev Mode or USB debugging - even after sending a picture of both enabled.

    I have the tracfone(total wireless) model. I'm using Linux tho so i cant seem to get the mediatek thing to work even in wine.

    The guy wouldn't tell me

      has there been any progress getting apps on this phone? the guy who was supposed to have a filter for it told me it's not ready yet..... i've successfully suspended the browser etc... btw i've had quite a number of times that the phone freezes up on me and needs to be restarted by holding down the power key for 10 seconds. has anyone else had this problem? also i noticed that assisted dialing has it's moods....

        NEC I haven't had that freezing problem. And we're kind of stuck in terms of apps.

          And i've managed to load magisk onto the flip phone via a patched boot.img i used from the firmware using the Magisk app on my Fire tablet and fastboot. But i also can't seem to get magisk app to work on this phone.

              EnriqueMcquade Can you create an update zip to install the Magisk app and sign it with the cert included in the zip you shared? adb reboot sideload gets into sideload mode

                  EnriqueMcquade It's too complicated for me, and possibly the recovery is going to think the zip is not verified.

                    EnriqueMcquade Thanks! Do you mind giving instructions ( I want to try on a Cricket and T-Mobile version)
