This phone just needs a normal treble A/B arm64 OS.

Two posts earlier in this thread are some quick links to flashing information.
The email immediately previously to this has information on flashing a
binary android 10 system to this mediatek phone, focusing on Android
10. It turns out the Android 11 and Android 12 images also boot.
Images beyond Android 10:

One way to flash and backup this phone is by using the FACTORY
FLASHER. I downloaded SP Flash Tool from
https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool and expanded it to ~/pkg
.
NOTE: New versions of SP Flash Tool will upgrade the boot download
agent (a boot software package with an extensive rpc i
So, I got another cheap phone, the cheapest I could find, (a used ZTE Tempo
X N9137), but it's locked so that only the previous user can open it. I did
discover this though:
- phones with a qualcomm chipset have a special mode called emergency
download, that provides for reading and writing all the

Consider that similar to ethernet/wifi HW mac addresses...
Except for a hands-on chec
Although hardware IMEI may be difficult to change, GrapheneOS (and perhaps
others) have a way of intercepting system service calls which enable users
to supply the values.

maybe i should give it some time and plan to try magisk. if magisk
works easy, maybe i can use root access to image the partitions that
way. too bad about the open source rom not immediately working.
maybe if i come back i can explore it with more time, maybe try the
exact revision mentioned in t
- flashing with the windows tool worked great to return it to a normal state
- the oem flash zips include images of all the partitions and
additional data, unsure if that includes nvram, could check with other
tool
- the quack release also did not immediately seem to boot right, but
it did dump me

gdrive worked when I built it from source
I had to pass an empty query string to see drives I did not own:
$ ~/go/bin/gdrive list --query ''
It's great to have a way to batch download a google drive. gdrive does
past revisions in a manual per-file way, unfortunately, but it could be

after installing roar, the device is bootlooping and won't enter
recovery mode or normal mode or power off. it will eventually exhaust
its battery.
i think i need to run the windows flashing tool to resolve this. it
has a number of confusing options with minimal documentaiton.
- escaping "no command" seems to require removing the case that came
with it, for me. then the buttons work.
- fastboot doesn't report clearly when it lacks usb permission, it just hangs
- i'm installing the release of the open source os.

calling with the google voice website, and these also said the number

I can't verify if that is still reasonably easy to do, have not set

Important stuff.

Point of sale tracks the IMEI, being able to change
that for any/all phones is useful, such as for giving
your phone away to others.
Point of sale tracks the SIM, but unfortunately a SIM
is probably still not generateable onto blank cards?

Magisk is said to work out of the box on the phone. Magisk is some
kind of open source rooting system or something.

This phone, which I have kept in airplane mode and not used, just gave
a notification tune. There are no notifications on the lock screen.
This is an experience I have with other phones. I purchased an OTC
phone and never brought it out of airplane mode, and I did not have
the experience with it

I have this phone. It's more rugged than my existing phone.
I'd like to maintain it with sequential images of the storage and
firmware, in the hope of keeping it revertible to a stable state when
it gets funny.
