I’m using an unlocked tcl pro with Verizon. I want to flash a rom on to my phone but I know that I will lose everything on my phone if I do that. Is there a way to flash a rom while preserving all my text messages. It is there a way to back up all my text messages while using the original firmware? I know I can use apps to backup my texts but I didn’t think I can install any apps without changing the ROM is that correct?
Correct. You will lose your messages. It’s unfortunate, but the only way…
If you can enable debugging there might be a way to do it through ADB I’m not sure.

Good point. using adb backup ( i don’t remember exactly what the commands were, and iirc it didn’t backup all the messages)
Not necessarily depends if you unlocked your bootloader already and depends which rom, if you are trying to flash @Darth it is impossible but any stock rom should be doable just don’t run fastboot flashing unlock.
Which rom are you trying to flash?
