is hot spot allowed with the "talk and text" kosher rom? does it just remove browser/email or other apps too?
Instructions for installing a kosher ROM on TCL Flip2/Classic T408DL
after installing the kosher rom, will the phone be unlocked to the bands that is is capable of? (if it was TracFone, will it take Verizon right away?)
Well.... I can never make it through the last step. I always receive this error when trying to flash the super.bin
Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Sending sparse 'boot' 1/12 (130964 KB) OKAY [ 4.459s]
Writing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'sparse image size span overflow.')

darth [Login to see the link]: No Browser or Email, added Voice Access.
Can you make a version with email, and a few added apps (waze+weather etc.)
What about hotspot, is it blocked?
Is software reset blocked? Or will it reset to the same software thats running (no browser)?

ChaseChiller this thread is for kosher ROMs that don't allow app installation - if you're looking for a ROM that doesn't have any restrictions [Login to see the link] created two boot images which do allow apps to be installed - and his work is linked to by darth in the OP of the currently 700+ thread that started this all.
Hi1 if you follow instructions in the first instruction you'll extract the super.bin from one of the two ROMs linked to at the end which are the talk only ROM and the talk and text ROM so obviously whichever of those two you take the super.bin out of will be the ROM you get 
darth your instructions have flashing the super.bin which by default may take 35-45 minutes - is there any reason that you haven't updated your instructions to suggest first flashing [Login to see the link] 's recovery.bin which cuts flashing the super.bin down to less than two minutes?

Flippy hotspot has not been blocked in the two ROMS posted and since the browser/email/text depending on the ROM are not present at all (as opposed to them being present in the ROM but just suspended or disabled from settings) so after a reset which just wipes user data and restores all default system settings but doesn't install anything new there still won't be a browser etc and so resets are allowed. However updates which do install system apps have been blocked.

yes because that was not released when he wrote this guide. I am sure he will include it when he updates his guide (stay tuned)

Biden2020prez maybe it wasn't so obvious to you but my question was why he didn't update the OP to include the information on recovery.img so I don't know how literally you meant to point out the obvious that when he originally wrote the guide the image had not yet been released. As far as your comment that you are sure that he will when the guide gets updated - you've been around here longer than I have so there's a good chance that you're right... my own personal doubt is because a relatively small edit of less than several minutes could save people 35-45 minutes - so I am wondering whether there is some other issue...

dovwcom I understand. It would help people, its possible he is planning on updating it, but he is busy and is probably pushing it off.
Are you interested in writing a guide? He would probably more than happily pin it to his top post.

Biden2020prez I understand - I could also try and figure out what he wants and why but it's simpler for me to ask him first - which is what I did initially and wait for when he has a chance to reply and see what he says then...

dovwcom is there any reason that you haven't updated your instructions
[Login to see the link] told me this morning that he plans to take a few weeks off from this.

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
jackmicron I used the 1632 driver and it worked for me.
