Hello friends, I am glad to find this website dedicated to flip phones!!

Just for the record, as the original poster stated, Alcatel GO Flip V is not a KaiOS phone. Every other Alcatel GO Flip runs KaiOS, but Alcatel GO Flip V runs Android.

In order to enable debug mode, enter the code *#*#33284#*#*

Installed apps do not show up on the built-in launcher; therefore you need to set them as Key shortcuts. (Or install a launcher and set it as a key shortcut.) (However, the Apps4Flip Launcher does not run.)

I have enabled USB debugging and can access the phone via adb however the usual command to uninstall doesnt work "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 ..." It gives me the error: [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]. Also the browser has a different package name not com.android.browser and Im not sure what it is, does org.chromium.chrome make sense to be the phones browser?

lgexalter1 There is another package called com.android.webview that sounds like the webviewer...

OK so the package was called org.chromium.chrome and I was able to get rid of it with the following command " adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 org.chromium.chrome "

darth try "pm list packages browser"
That should get the browser package name.

FliphoneBochur Did you read the previous posts in this thread? Did you try disable-user?

Raboisai, I just realized that this phone doesn't need an APK signature; it could even install unsigned APKs. Basically, if anybody could find a way to uninstall (not just disable the package but fully remove it) the browser app package, you could install an APK with that package app and it would appear on the main launcher.

FliphoneBochur
which phone?

FliphoneBochur Needs root.

Does anybody know how to unlock the bootloader of this phone?

FliphoneBochur Probably: Boot into fastboot (either: abd reboot bootloader or press volume down + power on or volume up + power on), and fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot oem unlock)

Biden2020prez I should have been clearer in my question:
The phone comes up under fastboot devices, but when I try either of those commands, I get
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Does anybody know of another command that would work? Google's not giving me any answers...

FliphoneBochur Hmm... some phones have a weird fastboot. I am guessing we will need to get into EDL mode.

Biden2020prez Not that again! 🤦‍♂️

FliphoneBochur 🙂

FliphoneBochur Try fastboot getvar unlocked. Maybe the bootloader is already unlocked...

Nope. unlocked: no It's fine. I don't need root access.

I just discovered (by accident) that you can take a screenshot on this phone by pressing the volume down and power buttons simultaneously.

FliphoneBochur as in virtually all android phones

Jumptoheaven Then could you please ask @Apps4Flip-Admin to add it to Odds N' Ends? Thanks!
