[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bryanjay420:
I created a separate thread for KITKAT 4.4.2. OFFICIAL version have been realeased for Alcatel One Touch / TCL S950 Idol X starting from BUILD 1008. This ROM is official for TCL S950 mobile IDOL X but working perfectly with Alcatel One Touch Idol X because they are the same hardware (only different brand).

I am following this Chinese Thread and this russian forum 4PDA for reference.

I am not taking credits for this work. Im just sharing these to those who can't download from the chinese forums / russian forum. :cowboy:

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION

Well, I assume this is not the first time you will flash your phone.

If not... I will make a tutorial or provide links on how to flash using SP Flash Tool / Flashtool Mod.

Anyway lets start!

First you have to download the KITKAT ROM to be installed to your device. Extract it and put it a convenient location like on your desktop. Download the Philz Touch Custom Recovery and extract it to desktop. Now we are ready to flash@!

Run Flashtoolmod / SP Flash Tool

1. Load SCATTER FILE from the folder where you extracted the ROM.

2. Manually select CUSTPACK.img

3. Click the RECOVERY and select the location where you extracted the custom recovery.img file.

4. Make sure that PRE-LOADER and MOBILE INFO are not chosen (UNCHECKED)!

5. Click DOWNLOAD.

6. Turn OFF your phone (wait for the device until it vibrate) then connect your device via USB.

7. Wait for the Green Circle. Flashing is done! Turn ON your phone.

IMPORTANT!

After successful flashing, ROOT you device by flashing SUPERSU via Recovery.

Download SuperSU 2.01
