  • Instructions for installing a kosher ROM on TCL Flip2/Classic T408DL

is there a way to flash back to factory rom

helpful tip to get to home screen while on a call turn mouse on click on the top of the screen it will pull down notifications scroll down using the volume keys and click on manage which will be on the bottom on the of the notifications and then hit the back button on your key pad and it will take you to the home screen
to get back to call again use mouse to click on notifications and click on your call

    avi1 Thanks for the tip!!!

      darth Does the text option block picture text?

        I'm getting the following error while trying to open MTKMETA Utility
        _![Application expired and can't run any more!, please check the developer for new builds**]
        anybody with info?

          is the first post updated with the latest ROM/instructions?

            My phone occasionally freezes up (after a while it unfreezes) anyone else had this issue and have a solution?
            Even when it happens the volume keys still work as well as the SOS button in the back.

                lgexalter1 There's a cute little program called Runasdate to run a program using a diff date, I've had it for a while, but I never tested it on MTK meta, Here's a [Login to see the link]
                It might not be necessary because there's an updated version, but if someone's having issues, or just a good app to have in your toolkit.

                  hi, I'm filtering a few TCL phones now I wanna use the faster way .

                  darth Quicker method (But potentially leaves room for more exploits) :

                  any one sew any problems with it or is it the same good as the longer way.

                    lgexalter1 thanks I'm not sure what you mean do I need to do something more then what's instructed?

                          kolelguy The result will be the same no matter which way you do it. If you do it through the quicker method it involves putting on a modified recovery on the phone which could potentially be an exploit. I think lgexalter1 was just saying that being that you made it sound like you were doing it for other people (because most people don't have multiple flip phones) to make sure whoever is going to have the phone cant try exploiting the recovery you can just reflash the stock recovery after you flash the Rom onto the phones.

                                will it have any effect on unlocking the phone ?
                                will it unlock the phone automatically
                                can the phone be unlocked after that
                                will an unlocked phone stay unlocked or become locked

                                    hk675 it won’t have an effect

                                      is there anyway to change the shortcut or remove the cursor it keeps on popping up, or flash back boot.img to original
