schok classic flip

hocker

hi, does anone know if the schok can have browser removed by using adb commands, and does it support apps from apps4flip.com?

You can uninstall the browser by using adb, but it takes some doing for sure (I'm very inexperienced, so I'm not sure how hard it actually is, but it took me a while to figure it out) It doesn't look like it supports apps4flip apps, but I'm going to be requesting a build now so there's something

Has anybody been able to get a normal functioning waze on this phone?

i have the schok phone
i uninstalled all the non kosher apps like browser, radio, message, etc.
i uninstalled it with adb, worked very easy.
i even installed apps from apps4flip - works perfect!

can someone with this phone boot to fastboot (press volume down and power on at the same time. it will be a small schok logo), and run fastboot getvar unlocked (from inside adb directory on pc). tell me what it says

Biden2020prez What does it do?

FliphoneBochur

Biden2020prez I'm trying it now. The phone is showing a small logo, but when I try to run the command, it just says < waiting for any device >. When I run fastboot devices it just goes to the next command line without giving me anything.

Biden2020prez

Reifam It tells you whether or not the bootloader is locked or not.

it will return unlocked: yes or unlocked: no

unlocked: no

This is the Boost-branded one. I got a new one, since my keypad went bad, and haven't unlocked it yet, since it didn't serve me any purpose to do it before...

Biden2020prez

levone1 i mean the schok classic flip, not the Schok Flip

Reifam

Biden2020prez Is that the old one or the more recent one?

FliphoneBochur prob need a better cable or fastboot drivers

FliphoneBochur

Same thing when I try booting into fastboot with adb reboot-bootloader

Biden2020prez

FliphoneBochur older

Biden2020prez I can't find a driver for this phone. Do you know where I could find one?

Biden2020prez

FliphoneBochur [Login to see the link] often tells people they need fastboot drivers. I don't think it's device specific. But I'm not sure what it is. I think you may have a bad USB connection. Does fastboot devices work on any other phones for you? Try flipping the USB Upside down? Stuff like that usually do the trick. Stronger usb = better.

A) My Go Flip V (which actually has a fastboot menu) shows up when I run fastboot devices
B) I don't have the phone to check right now (it's my friend's), but I'll ask for it back.
C) When I had it yesterday I tried flipping the cable but it didn't help. I have a pretty strong USB C cable, so I think it's a software thing
D) When I google fastboot drivers, I get stuff that are device-specific.
E) Any ideas?

zvirose

what adb commands do i use to uninstall the browser on my schock classic

FliphoneBochur

zvirose adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.browser. If you're on WebADB, run that command without adb shell (pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.browser).

bochur2000

when playing with the schok phone i found some apps that have a setting to rate or check out other apps on the play store it will bring you to the play store even if you take off the internet it seems like the play store is built into the phone just not accessable without outside help

FliphoneBochur

bochur2000 Just run adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending. (If you're on WebADB, run that command without adb shell (pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending). And it should be fine.
