jessiesmith I see your post is missing:
fastboot flashing unlock, I need to run this otherwise it won't let you flash recovery2.img

My post is not missing anything. Please read it carefully. It is not for people with locked bootloaders.

jessiesmith Then I ran
fastboot reboot recovery

Phone screen shows "Android Fastboot", with several options.

I am assuming this is a typo or you don't remember correctly, you probably mean it shows "Android Recovery".

jessiesmith On bottom of screen, I see a lot of error messages about "Invalid argument", "failed to format /cashe", etc. I ignored it b/c yesterday on another phone, I was able to continue even with those messages.

Correct, don't worry about those, they are recovery logs, not really errors (this is the other reason I am assuming you are in recovery and not Android Fastboot; Because Fastboot doesn't show those logs).

jessiesmith I then ran
adb push super.bin /dev/block/by-name/super
I used a different image name, but I don't think filename matters as long as the image is correct.

yes, the file path
/dev/block/by-name/super is very important, but not the file path to the super on your computer is okay for any valid super img.

jessiesmith I then ran
adb push super.bin /dev/block/by-name/super

You seem to have missed an important command (see my post you replied to - you need the chmod command).

jessiesmith After reboot, it show me the bricked screen "Secure Boot Failure! dm-verity corruptiopn"

It doesn't say your phone can't boot. It says that software cannot be trusted (as authentic factory images).

You have the option to press the power button to continue booting, or else it will turn off.

From my experience, sometimes I need to hold the power button for about a second, but not two long. Or try holding for 1 sec, let go, and hold for another sec. Then let go and wait, maybe it will boot up.

jessiesmith Keep running these commands:
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

Good, those are important.

jessiesmith Fastboot cannot access the device.

So probably you need to install fastboot drivers, check the link in [Login to see the link] original post. I repeat again that if you read my post, it explains that it is for updating roms, not installing for first time.

jessiesmith On phone, I clicked shutdown, it just show me a bunch of error messages and won't shutdown.

If I guess correctly it will shut down, but you need to be patient (and wait a few more seconds, then it will shut down).

jessiesmith CMD run mtkfastboot.exe, plug the phone into PC, phone screen shows ""=> FASTBOOT mode..."
On another CMD, ran:
fastboot flash super super.bin
Hopefully this will unbrick it.

Good luck!

[Login to see the link] hi thanks a lot for these roms. is there a way to prevent the button on the outside (sos?) from activating the mouse. this is causing me a lot of problems. thanks

Ok, so I'm going to be a massive מפוניק and combine all my posts into this one with all of the changes I would want to be made.

Website

• [Login to see the link]:

  • Easy Method 1 also works on the LG Classic, the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme, and any Schok phone. (Those are just a bunch of phones that I've installed apps on from storage. I'm sure there are others.)
  • In Universal Method, add to switch USB mode to charge only on the LG Classic (And File-Transfer on some old Kyoceras)
  • Add the Alcatel Go Flip V and the TCL Flip 2 to Universal Method (*#*#33284#*#*). (In ``, so the stars don't disappear)
  • You could just copy the ADB setup instructions from the Guide to WebADB page, and paste them in the App Installation guide.
  • It says by Uninstalling Apps that for all other phones: "simply perform a factory reset," but,
    A) On the LG Classic, there's also an Applications Menu,
    B) On any Schok and Sonim phone, you could uninstall any app from the main launcher, and
    C) You could just use the method on Odds n' Ends (though you could say to run pm list packages -3 to only list installed apps).

• [Login to see the link]:

  • Could you please add holding down the volume down + power to take a screenshot (on most phones)?
  • "Navigate your phone during a phone call on LG Flip Phones" also works on most non-LG Phones.
  • I think the commands shouldn't have adb shell in the beginning, because the rest of the site has WebADB commands.

• Other Pages:

  • On the [Login to see the link], the ` at the end of the voice access commands should be removed.
  • The [Login to see the link] page should be updated with [Login to see the link]'s new ROMs, and mention auto-booter.
  • The link in the old [Login to see the link] post, links to a TCL, so it could be removed or updated because it's not accurate.
  • The new [Login to see the link] post's banner is a picture of an LG Classic, so it could be changed to the right phone.
  • By the first step in the [Login to see the link] page is missing stars. (It says ##2387## when it should say *#*#2387#*#*. (That was in ``)

Forum

• All rules threads should be combined, so people coming to the forum don't have to be overwhelmed by or not look at the 3 [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link].
• About stickied threads, [Login to see the link] could be unstickied and added to rules. Again, it would be better for new members to now have to have so many stickied threads when they come to the forums. This suggestion is a judgment call for the Admin if he thinks that Official Lines of Communication is that important.
• The [Login to see the link] thread could be unstickied because it's done.
• I think you should add the [Login to see the link] to the site and unsticky it.
• The [Login to see the link] post could be unstickied because the forum search has gotten much better. (I don't know if the admin implemented something, but it's much better than what it used to be.)
• Could you please sticky the [Login to see the link] thread? I think it's useful for new members.

I'm not trying to be a control freak; I'm just trying to get things to be neater, remove misinformation, inform people of tricks they might not have known about, and make the experience on the site and forum better.

If [Login to see the link] sees and implements (or at least acknowledges) the requested הערות and changes in this thread, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry for the slight ocd!

getting stuck after 3.1
C:\Users\17186\Downloads\TCL\platform-tools>fastboot flash super super.bin

jbriones95 Interesting video. Theoretically, you are right that you got a $20 phone that's customizable, and a $350 one that isn't customizable. But the TCL Flip 2 was also locked down. We spent hours and hours debugging, working, injecting, and researching until we found a way to intercept a firmware update and patch a boot img, which still didn't work, until we utilized magisk's overlay.d to reverse a prop on boot. And even flashing the boot image was tough, [Login to see the link] tried just about every MTK Tool until he was able to boot to Fastboot using MTK Meta. The TCL Flip 2 was also non-customizable.

If we would hack the Fig Flip II, then we could also customize it. It will probably be very hard, but it may be possible.

In terms of that Helix comment about Alibaba, here are more details . [Login to see the link], and also [Login to see the link]

I am disappointed that they don't support microSD card. I would expect more for the price.
