MTK MRE Support
Despite this phone's design as a basic flip phone, MRE (.vxp) apps are supported.

By simply putting .vxp apps on the phone via USB mass storage mode, the phone will recognize them as MRE apps and you can open them using the file manager. Considering the icon that normally shows an MRE logo is a red X, this feature may have been meant to be removed. The size of the phone's font does cause some issues with certain games, but this doesn't affect many apps to an extreme degree.

Serial UART test points
There are UART test points on the phone's PCB near the headphone jack. This UART port is enabled and appears to work, but RevSkills' MTK flashing interface doesn't support MT6276 phones and "Miracle Thunder" box software gets stuck on 100% trying to dump firmware using the UART interface.

Dumping Firmware
The firmware of this phone can be dumped with "Miracle Thunder" box software and a standard micro USB cable. Note that the software incorrectly defines the flash chip as being made by Samsung, which may be why it produces a corrupted file (bad dump).

This may not happen in newer versions of the software, but that hasn't been tested or confirmed.

To dump the firmware, press Start on Miracle Thunder software, hold the # button on the phone, then connect the phone to the computer.

Firmware
There is only one known dump of the Doro 626, and it is corrupted. For this reason, a download link won't be shared as it is useless for both repairing a bricked phone and content extraction.

When a good firmware file becomes available, it will be here.
