      looks like all the good stuff is read-only. after poking around for a day I did find one useful thing:

      settings put global hotspot_entitlement_check_mode 0

      That let me turn on hotspot.

        Original Post:

        Does anyone have this phone? It looks different than the Alcatel My Flip 2 and the TCL My Flip2. According to Tracfones website it runs Android 11 and has more storage and ram than the My Flip. Is it the same thing or actually a new phone?

            To Kasher the Sonim XP5 Verizon ONLY, you need to flash the system image. This is a different process than just removing the browser app. It will fully rewrite the OS of the phone with a new kosher, browserless operating system. Since this is a process
            Here are the steps:
            1) First you need to Enable USB debugging:
            Dial ##2387##
            then go to developers options, find USB debugging, and turn it ON

            2) Once you have control over the device from adb, use the command:
            adb reboot bootloader
            which will restart the device. You should see the bootloader menu appear after a few minutes.

            3) Now your device is ready, you just need to get the image files. Download the files [Login to see the link] , and extract them all to the platform-tools folder. (root directory, no subfolders)
            4) Once its all copied you can run these commands:
            adb reboot bootloader
            fastboot flash boot
            fastboot reboot-bootloader
            fastboot format system
            fastboot flash recovery
            fastboot flash system
            fastboot flash splash
            fastboot reboot
            after a few minutes your phone should boot up, with your new, kosher operating system. Thanks [Login to see the link] for writing this.
