I find some forum, but is not in english, that have firmware and mod for alcatel flash plus 2 to root is called forum.mantab.me. If any one can translate and try it...
I think this thread can help all the users like myself that has left without support from alcatel. They even close the comunity forum for flash plus 2 in the official site.

Hi, has anybody been able to download the required files to root this phone?, the 3GB/32GB model it's selling right now at 69.99€ on Amazon Spain (limited stock), for the price the hardware specs are really good.

Ok, so I finally bought one unit, at that price it seemed a good deal, in fact the stock flew in no time. After searching I've found this link that seems to include everything necessary to root the phone with OS ver 1006 (the author has included download links), but the procedure seems to be a bit complicated and it will wipe all data :

The procedure seems legit and other users confirm it's working in the comments, but for now I'll stay with the phone as it is, unwanted system software can be disabled using adb hide, so I have been able to put everything more or less to my liking.

However, I've noticed a few things that I don't know if can be fixed/improved :

-The fingerprint sensor doesn't work when the screen is off, so you have to double tap the screen or press the power button, ¿is there a way to fix this?.
-The phone heats in a very noticeable way when charging with the included adapter, for now since I don't need fast charge most of the time (I charge the phone at night), I have switched to a standard 5v charger, charging time increases by 2x but it stays cool.
-Screen on time from my testing is acceptable (between 4 and 5 hours), but not great, I'll do some more tests but I have the phone running right now with minimal software installed.

Overall I think that this is a good phone, however it must be taken into account that it is unlikely that there will be any more updates for it.

Hey bro rooting method on YouTube video works. I just did it. Just that step 23 and 24 should be other way around . step 24 first and then 23. If you do step 23 first, your phone will go into red state and it will not boot. This video has the link to twrp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vj_BY6xJdA

I tried this method for rooting on TCL 562 3GB/32GB. Rooting works fine. However, after rooting, the call function is NOT working and shows IMEI as invalid for both SIM1 1 and SIM 2 if you dial *#06#. Any idea how to fix this issue.

I have not had that issue. Try factory reset. When you do factory reset you have to 1st reinstall supersu and do restore from back up. From the back up folder you have created before the root. What is TCL 562? Is this flash plus 2? I bought mine in Philippine. Maybe the device is little different. I just checked and TCL 562 and Flash Plus 2 are 2 different devices. They both have same specs, but I think the OS is little different. The Flash is affiliated to TCL but they make their own mobile devices. Best thing for you to do is just factory reset and see if your sim cards work.
