[Device Reviews and Information] mkdonald:
I emailed Ulefone support earlier in the week saying that now they had launched the Be Touch 2 they needed to add it to their Support page - ie at http://ulefone.com/service.html - and they replied promptly saying it was in hand... and just checked and it's there = good omen I think...

Direct link to the official Be Touch 2 support page:

http://ulefone.com/download/betouch2.html

It offers "Android version: Android 5.0 Lollipop - Build number: 20150702" - ie they have started to tell the truth - ie "5.0" - as none of us believed the 5.1 of 20150618 was genuinely 5.1!

Just about to go off and try updating mine....

This is what the download button takes one to on their OneDrive...,.

The two 'folders' are .RAR format compressed folders. I had no idea anyone still used '".rar" compression: last time I saw it was when BT used to publish their price lists in that format so they could claim publicly available, though 99% of people couldn't work out how to access. Personally I have Stuffit Expander (freeware) on my Windows 7 PC from those days so am able to access the compressed RARs.

SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED my Be Touch2 with it... but only after a bit of self MS-DOS CMD processor batch file work.

1. The "Instructions of Flashing" is a Word format document telling you the basic steps (as on the support Download page) but with a few typos, just like their batch file. Following those instructions was enough for me to get there... in the end.

2. The install.bat batch file came up with various errors about not found/permissions etc (and not the 'no matching' in their screencapture). I got around this by studying what the install.bat batch file was doing, ie three steps that I personally took on a WIndows 7 PC:

(a) running CMD.EXE as an Administrator - ie find CMD.EXE then other mouse click and 'Run as Admin...'

(b) Changing directory to run the appropriate 32bit or 64bit version of the SmartPhoneDriver installer

spinstall.exe -smartphonefeaturephone

(c) Changing directory to run the FeaturePhoneDriver installdriver

I then rebooted my PC as having installed drivers I like to do that, no idea if necessary.

I think I got a Windows "Driver update message" but no idea if succeeded or not - as I got distracted during the restart.

I then went on to follow the Step 2 as they documented.

In Step 3 they mean the "Start button" (not "Star") and they DO mean to connect up the batteried phone AFTER you click the Start.

Mine took 114S to perform the update.

When I then disconnected USB and powered on I was worried that the Ulefone logo appeared for a long time ie 2-3 minutes but it then went on to the select Country questions etc.

I then logged in with my 'testing' Google a/c and the phone went into restoring that Google a/c (c20 Apps) for about 10 minutes while with various messages, but all installed okay (see below re Google Services).

After this update Info reports as:

Android version is still shown as 5.1

Baseband version: MOLY.LR9.W1423.MD.LWTG.MP.V20.P2,2015/06/15 09:49

Kernel version: 3.10.61\root@app008-All-Series #3\Thu Jul 2 10:49:09 CST 2015

Build number: Ulefone_be touch2_20150702

Custom built version: ALPS.L0.MP6.V3.8_EVEN6752.LWT.L

Already some new 'features'/changes after a couple of restarts on new ROM:

My Summer "EE" SIM is now showing as "4G" with strong signal instead of just "G" before - but realised that was because DATA was set to use my other SIM (not 4G) in original config - ie default setup has data on 1st slot not 2nd, but my first hint of 4G showing :)

Got alert after my Apps updated that Google Play services needs updating for Maps... tapping that went to the Update page and installed OK.

The Kinguser App has vanished! (see my older posting http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61698312&postcount=32 )

I get 'App permission management is running' alert in notification - remember having this originally, but not how I got rid of it (yet).

AnTuTu 64-bit v5.7.1 reports as 44467 (was 43640 last ROM)

Root Checker reports Root Access = no access; SU = not found.

Initial impressions are that Fingerprint recognition is improved. (I set it up afresh, not having deliberately saved anything from original config myself, just Google a/c's own online backup.)
