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

darth I understand that. What I'm trying to figure out is if the ROM is "bad", is it at all possible that it would exhibit itself in this manner? Or is the only way a "bad" ROM presents itself is the inability for the phone to boot or app that crash, etc. rather than an intermittent voice network issue.

        flipperk I dont modify anything that should effect the service. But I have never tested it so I cant say for sure it has nothing to do with my Rom.

              Any updates about, if the kosher ROMs of the phone will update to have the KEFH software version?

                darth is there any way that I can help you to help me with this? cant have the kids running around with a browser on these 4058W phone. Thanks! Also, is there a way for me to revert back to the factory ROM on this
                "bad" kosher phone (I have another 4058W with factory ROM).

                    will this guide work for the 4058g?

                      does anyone know how to add an app to the rom before flashing it

                          zlate The installation of these Roms deletes all installed apps.

                              "Run Auto Booter".
                              In command line, I ran mtkfastboot.exe, got error:
                              Found MTK Preloader Port on COM4
                              Running MTK Fastbooter on COM4

                              Entered fastboot mode on port COM4
                              Traceback (most recent call last):
                              File "lion.py", line 97, in <module>
                              AttributeError: 'Thread' object has no attribute 'success'
                              [46576] Failed to execute script 'lion' due to unhandled exception!

                              However, even with that error, when I plug in the phone, it did go into fastboot mode.

                              I was able to proceed to run these commands:
                              fastboot flashing unlock
                              fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
                              fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.bin
                              fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.bin
                              fastboot flash boot boot.bin
                              fastboot reboot fastboot

                              BUT, the cmd window stuck at:
                              Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.001s]
                              < waiting for any device >

                              On the phone, the screen shows
                              [Login to see the link]

                              Which option do I select? It does not matter which option I select, the CMD fastboot is stuck on < waiting for any device >

                                  jessiesmith Dont select any option. You are in the right place. Just close the cmd window and reopen it then run the commands to flash super.

                                      Mine got up to 26%
                                      Phone screen show: Write Data > 26% Time: xxxxxxx
                                      After that, it took several minutes to progress to 27%, then it is taking a long time again

                                        Remember, my mtkfastboot.exe error out on phone 1st boot, so the mtkfastboot.exe CMD window stopped.
                                        Then, if I run mtkfastboot.exe again (in separate CMD window) and immediately run "fastboot reboot fastboot", phone will reboot into "=> FASTBOOT mode..."

                                              jessiesmith Once phone is in "=> FASTBOOT mode..." then you should run fastboot reboot fastboot once the phone is in fastbootd like in the picture you shared then in a new CMD window (nothing to do with mtkfastboot.exe) run the command fastboot flash super /path/to/super

                                                  Got it flashed with one of the ROMs that have Waze.
                                                  When I open Waze, top screen just show "preparing navigation voice 0%", and stuck there. The map would not load.
                                                  I am somewhat new to this, maybe i need to post the question on other thread.
                                                  Also, I read there's a kosher app store, is it really possible to install the app store onto the phone, and then install other apps from the store directly intead of downloading the apk and manually loading it.

                                                    jessiesmith Not sure where you read that there is a kosher app store, but there isn't (last I checked).

                                                    Also this kosher rom blocks APK Installation so you wont be able to install any apps.
