Does anyone know any way of filtering KaiOS phones?

I think most people like staying far away to KaiOS phones. :grinning:

I have like 10 of them which is why I just want to figure out how to filter them instead of throwing them out…

Tag definitely filters some KaiOS devices.

KaiOS is a partial android system, and doesn’t have all the features that filters typically depend on.

I never tried dumping firmware on a KaiOS device via mtkclient. I wonder if it could work.

Not all their phones are MTK. I was able to pull firmware from some of the Qcom ones, there are (some) firehoses available on bananahackers

Were you able to write modified firmware back and have it boot?

Throw them out and enjoy a less-stressful life…

Yes, that is what I expected.

A post was split to a new topic: Kosher ROM for nokia

Custom ROM is probably the only way
