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

Hi, I started using the TCL phone recently I hade a few problems that I found solutions for maybe it can be beneficial for other so ill post it here.

First my data didn't work I was thinking of asking here but didn't get to it until I once connected to a free Wi-Fi and when I disconnected from it the 4g LTE symbol came up. So if you have this problem try connecting to Wi-Fi.

I also didn't like that the voice access was making a notification all the time. I found that when you klick with the mouse on the top of the screen there will be a drop down and there is a button there notification settings if you click that you can allow and disallow any notifications.

this also helped me get rid of the T9 notification that came up every time I wanted to type.

(the drop down is also good to know where your batterie is up to)

Hope it will help out anyone with this issues.

      kolelguy You can disable the voice access activation button in voice access settings which can be opened by saying: "Open voice access settings"

      yesterday I flashed a phone with option 1 beta and it worked but today when I get up to step 3 to flash super it shows on the adb command rebooting into fastboot okay and next line says waiting for any device and on the phone it shows android fast boot with some options. when i restart the phone its like I didn't do anything. also on step 2 part 5 it only takes a second and shows all the vbmeta finished. what am I doing wrong?

        joe1234 VBMETA is supposed to go very quick. So that sounds fine.

        When you run fastboot reboot fastboot in step 3, did you also run fastboot flash super super.bin? And then fastboot reboot? it seems from your question that you skipped the step of flashing super.

          Biden2020prez Check the second post of this thread, I just updated my guide to switching roms. Let me know if it works for you.

            joe1234 You should fastboot reboot fastboot then once the phone is in the new fastboot screen with more options run fastboot flash super super.bin

              Biden2020prez Is there any other method than switching the date on the computer, to get MTK Utility to work?

                darth when i did fastboot reboot fastboot it got to the fastboot screen with options i was not able to paste fastboot flash super super.bin on the command. right clicking didnt do anything, it just said waiting for any device.

                  Reifam Someone (maybe techgen) mentioned a software called runasdate which didnt work for me. Otherwise I needed to change my date. Why don't you use autobooter?

                    Ahh.. smart of you to check.

                    Basically, it's a python script compiled with PyInstaller, a safe, open-source tool to compile Python code into a single executable that can be used without python. Due to PyInstallers's popularity, there have been cases when people used it to pack viruses, and therefore any executable that contains the PyInstaller bootloaders get flagged.

                    This code was taken from mtk bootseq, and enhanced by [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link], and I.

                    What you can do if you want to be careful, is install python and run the code yourself. The source code is inside Lionscribe's zip. Just install python, get pip, and pip install pyserial, then python autobooter.py.

                      darth thanks for everything! any plans to update apps option 2?

                      joe1234 I just tried this on another phone that I needed to update the rom and I'm having the same issue.

                      lgexalter1 after pasting fastboot reboot fastboot it says waiting for device and then I cant paste anything else. when I open a 2nd terminal and paste fastboot flash super super.bin it says waiting for device and nothing happens.
