Block Factory Reset on TCL Flip 2

Flip Phones
1

I enabled USB Debugging on my TCL Flip 2 T408DL (Yup, luckily it never updated to the new software so I was able to).

Now, how can I disable factory resets to prevent it from going back to unfiltered?

2

What did you use to filter it?

3

ADB - I just uninstalled the browser and disabled the OTA software packages.

4

Uninstalled or disabled?

5

Uninstalled the browser and disabled the OTA packages

6

If the browser is removed through root, resetting won’t bring it back

I think you need to be rooted and then you can uninstall the browser for good.

I dont want to root it, I just want to do this quickly. Rooting is annoying

Also, uninstall/disable the email app as well. It has an IAB and it opens a browser when clicking a link.

Any guides to rooting TCL Flip 2?

You sure you uninstalled it. IIRC you could only disable not uninstall. If you disabled it it isn’t safe cause with a few clicks you can re-enable it in the settings.
