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)

Reifam sometimes the prop that allows apk installs doesn't catch and you need to reboot again.

Anyone tested any versions of the phone on verizon yet? If so, which one. (Not total by verizon, unless that works on regular verizon too). Will the rooting work on that version?
Also, anyone know if there is a way to root it from a Mac (with mtk utilities) not PC?

Hi again. Thanks to [Login to see the link], I now have my keys back. However, I'm still in the same place where I started. I still can't change the keys. Seems like I can't write to system.
I suspect it may have something to do with

neutronscott flashboot flash lk lk-neutron.img
mount -o rw,remount /
rm -rf /system/app/Chromium
reboot. see if it's gone.

but I can't figure out how to run those commands.

techy

[Login to see the link] where do i get the lk img from?

roncat

roncat

chaimzalman

shaztzi

Jackbeast When using ADB you have to type ./ before the command.

Jackbeast

meir still getting that error [Login to see the link]

Flippy

Jackbeast I think you have to start the powershell from within the adb folder

meir

Flippy
Jackbeast Exactly.

techy

lgexalter1 So can you post it?
Or maybe neutronscott would you be able to explain exactly what to do.
Sorry that I'm hogging up this thread, but I would really like to get this working, and I suspect that many others are waiting for this too.
Thank You

chaimzalman

techy I second this

Jackbeast

is it possible to flash a diff rom after I did one of the kosher versions

meir

Jackbeast Yes.

techy

lgexalter1 I tried it multiple times...
I think you're right; I'm just trying everything since I can't think of what the issue can be.
I emailed you the log output from mixplorer, maybe you can take a look at it and try to see if you can figure out what is wrong?

chaimzalman

lgexalter1 Tried this many times but it didnt work for me either

neutronscott

Did you run it as root?

I'd rather not share the lk again. Flashing lk can brick device.

chaimzalman

neutronscott definitely did. Would you be able to send/share it to my email [Login to see the link]? Thank you!

techy

neutronscott i believe i did. See here techy

techy

neutronscott you've mentioned in the past that there's a way to do it using magisk. Would you be able to elaborate?
