Hi!
I'm from the community 4pda.
We ported TWRP.
Instructions:
1. Install ABD drivers from AdbDriverInstaller.exe
2. Put your device in FastBoot mode (turn it off, than, hold Volume Down + Power button.
After Alcatel One Touch Idol 2S logo appears, release buttons)
3. If you did everything correctly - Alcatel logo will stay on screen.
4. Plug in phone via USB.
5. Run check_device.cmd. If Ok, you can see "9e0eb10 fastboot" caption at bottom of command
window (digits can be other). If you see this caption - follow next step, if don't - check
adb drivers from #1 installed.
6. Run flash_recovery.cmd to flash TWRP. All done. To boot into TWRP turn off power, and hold
Volume Up and press Power.

All Hello again, due to the fact that the backup rolled forward to the 4.3 runs not all perfect, we publish all the action that needs to be done, that would change the ID of your phone with 6050Y 6050A on the Canadian version.

Done that, but my phone doesn't want to load the UI. :/ Still showing "ALCATEL onetouch" / "smart move.".

Edit: Just a restart, and everything is OK, except NFC - there's no option to turn it on. :/

Thank you for giving instructions GR4YN & me helpok
P.S. Sorry for my English, I skipped classes in school.

Faced with such a problem that does not go to the settings in security. It happens that it downloads from the forum, instead of wasting money. But because of an error in the settings you can not install applications from other sources. But this problem can be solved. Es Download the guide, go to settings, flipping naholim application settings, apps and already there, put a checkmark to remove / install applications. I tried to download the camera fv-5 pro, and so properly set. Installed, it works.)

PS: I can't install apk (setting stops when i click on "security"), so if anyone understand how to do it, i will post it here.

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Failed closing /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/bg-name/misc (I/O error)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

etc.

Any idea how to fix it?

I found out what the problem with the TWRP flashable Kitkat image was. It is missing firmware files in /vendor/firmware, more specifically the keymaster files. So secure storage doesn't work, which secure settings needs.

I'm trying the change to 6050A and then the download via the super slow Windows software right now ;)

This is a nice mid-range phone and I got from Orange Poland with agreement. All works fine and fluid. Even during benchmarks it is barely warm. 7.5 mm thickness (Galaxy S4 dimensions) and very slim LCD bezel. Double click screen to wake device. White status LED etc.

03_p00.jpg


Detailed specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/alcatel_idol_2_s-6134.php

In short:

  • 5 inç 720p IPS screen
  • Snapdragon 400 4 x 1.2 GHz / Adreno 305 GPU
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 8 GB Internal (5.5 GB available) + microSD (64 GB Lexar 600x UHS-1 microSD tested, working after FAT format by 6050Y)
  • LTE 150 Mbps, 802.11n Wi-Fi Dual, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, A-GPS/GLONASS
  • 8 MP Camera with Flash and Full HD Video
  • Android 4.3 Installed (4.4 Update Possible)
  • 2150 mAh non-removable battery

Official support website http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download/idol_2_s.html where you can download manual, quick user guide and two important apps.

Smart Suite for managing your mobile. (microUSB connection or Wi-Fi)

Mobile Upgrade Q for checking offical upgrades.

Some downsides:

  • MHL not supported, only Miracast
  • OTG not supported
  • FM Radio works only mono
  • Non removable cover


SIM Unlock

Mine came SIM locked. So I searched some and found a YouTube video that unlock is easy with FuriousGold device. Same person has an online code generator. I have no connection to them but I tested and it worked. Also really cheap only $4.9

http://www.oneunlock.com/en/tools/solution/alcatel-sfr-vodafone-motorola-unlock-codes

It all finished within seconds. I filled form. Operator code is written on product box, on top of IMEI code. After getting email I saw 4 codes and entering only first one was enough.

If you don't have a problem with SIM lock you don't need to do it naturally. But I detected it whenever installed a different operator's SIM card. There are only 5 trials and use them wisely.

Also if you want to play by the book, Orange Poland website asks you to go their office or call helpline for unlock and payment will be 77 PLN which makes nearly $25.

WARNING: When you unlock your device they have a right to say product warrany is invalid.


ROOTING

Again you don't need to root but I used to have programs like Titanium Backup, Xposed Framework, Viper4Android etc so I wanted to find a solution.

ATM the only method I know that works is Towel Root Only install it and click button. Matter of second and done. After that you might want to install SuperSU or Superuser app.

After rooting, there is a possibility that Alcatel official device updates won't be compatible. In that case unroot might be necessary. I haven't tried but SuperSU app has an Full Unroot option. Please let us know if you tried.


CUSTOM RECOVERY

ATM I could not find CWM or TWRP suitable for this device. Perhaps it is not necessary since there is no custom ROM / CM package. But I am sure custom recovery can be compiled.

UPDATE: Thanks to Decker.Kaluga, we have a compatible CWM recovery now. (I have not tried yet.)

    What did you try to update with, since there's no official update ?
    And I have a backup of the 4.3 rom, you can restore the system partition with it

    Managed to update with alcatels PC tool. (Took 8 freaking hours to download)
    On update - I'm using the 6050a which currently has kk. I managed to capture the ota from the tool and I'm gonna try releasing a zip for 6050y (AFAIK the hardware is the same, so should work fine if build.prop is edited accordingly. )
