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

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.

    Anybody have a safe place to download MTK and Fastboot drivers?

      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.

        Thank you! Are you able to edit the op with the updated link?

          jackmicron Thats a whole list. Which one specifically?

            Flippy USB VCOM (Android) - thats the one I installed & works with MTKMetaUtilityV52

                pasus Would you mind uploading it so others can have access to the file directly?

                Reboot Fastboot Mode isn't working for me.
                I can't get past "Waiting for mtk usb device... " in the MTK Meta Utility. It ends up at "device not found!"
                I enabled usb debugging successfully, I tried with USB storage enabled and disabled.
                When I start up the phone, MTK Meta Utility status bar at the bottom says usb device inserted(\?\USB#[VID]&[PID]#00018d

                But then it just times out after 1:20.

                  darth Thank you so much!! I used the Talk only Rom. First I downloaded ADB (I used this tutorial [Login to see the link]), then I followed the instructions. Worked perfectly.

                  I used Biden2020prez for MTK Drivers.

                  darth I want to block camera, music, and recorder. Can I remove it through ADB?

                    darth Can you have a choice of Hotspot/no hotspot?
                    Also will you be able to update the solution so that it will be quicker to flash instead if 45 min?
                    Thanks so much for a great job!

                    [Login to see the link] Can we get a kosher version that includes talk and text and the apps from apps4flip but without the browser?

                        Apps4Flip-Admin Nice! In the 'Setup' section, I would mention that it is recommended to first update the phone to the latest software version.

                        Would the filter work on the T-Mobile version?

                        I just realized that the phone that I have (Alcatel MyFlip 2 A406DL) is not exactly the same as the TCL Flip2/Classic T408DL.
                        My phone is running KaiOS 2.5.4.
                        Would installing a kosher ROM using the above instructions work on this phone?
