Hello XDA, I have an Alcatel C1 and its a lower price Android from AT&T. I am a major custom rom lover and can barely stand to leave a phone stock, But i cant seem to find any sort of attention to this phone from forums. I have it rooted (using kingo) but there isnt any sort of Custom Recovery or ROM for this phone. I see lots of people with this phone and also wish that there were more attention to this phone. I was looking around and there is apparently a phone called Alcatel "Pop" C1 that is the EXACT same thing and it has roms and attention, but it doesn't help cause that phone is not AT&T and doesnt have 4G like this one does. I really would like to see this phone get lots of roms and attention like the AT&T Fusion 2 did, and if people are willing to build a Recovery/Rom for this phone, ill gladly test it. Thank You!

Actually yesterday my friend bought a cheap handset which resembles Iphone 5 from its look../...but runs some-kind of android (i guessed it because it has tomcat angrybirds....games within it...i think IOS dont support those games.) in it. My friend will be soon throwing it out because this is a temporary adjustment as his phone was dead all of a sudden./....
Now to the matter./... i was planning to buy it once his emergency is over so that i can flash it with some newer android and custom roms../...i wanted to know whether it is possible or not./...am aware that the information i provided about the phone is soo raw....if yuo could guide me how to get the software and hardware details of the phone i would be happy./...and then we can see if i can flash it/....
eagerly waiting to hear from you
Thanxxx

I know there probably are like 50 other threads of people asking the same thing, I've looked through a LOT of them, none of them actually tell me anything useful I want to hear. So, as the Title says, I'd love to know if there is actually any type of update, or way to update the phone to ICS or JB... A lot of people keep saying no, but some others are certain there is a way, I've found a couple of root options, but they all seem shady. If anyone knows how to work out this phone, to get a higher version of Android, I'd appreciate it, if the need to root happens, then some advice about it would be appreciated...
Phone: GSII SGH-S959G from Straight Talk.
Thank you
I have the same phone and been looking for a ICS rom for it, no luck so far. I did root mine and mod the original rom just fine. Over all it didn't add anything to it but I wanted to use the titanim backup app and others who need root. I know straighttalk phones are always a little behind others sold by att and bigger companies, so maybe someone will come up with a rom soon. May check cyogenMod see if they support it.

Yeah I've seen that not everyone put time into Straighttalk phones, and so far there is still nothing. I won't lose hope though!
I don't think you are in the right thread:

ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

There's a thread for the phone you have in this forum; look in the Straight Talk thread and you'll find the help you need.

I want to get rid of it cuz I have no idea what is what it can do or why it's even there I'm not a big fan of mods and if I were to mod anything i would do an extreme amount of research of how to install and uninstall with cm I have no idea what's going on

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck
darkecojack send me a PM bro, I'll help you out with what you need to do step by step, even willing to help you over the phone if you want...
Hello, new to XDA........I have been scanning thru all the discussion boards and i dont see my model # around.
Thanks Angela
Well, guess it may be time to get my hands dirty. I've used a number of resources from the wonderful Dev's here at XDA, to help my friends, family and myself. I believe our biggest hurdle will be the first one and that is to get a custom recovery that won't just get overwritten by the bootloader. I once had to use a 'Bump' to get one on my LG G3. I will begin with research..............................
Hi I have search all over for about a month and can't find anything to make this phone what I want so wanted to see if maybe someone could steer me in the right direction. I am very much into all of this and wouldn't mind going to next lol.... If someone out there could maybe help me to find what I need to make my own twrp for this phone and advice on how to come up with root and bootloader unlock sounds like a lot to ask but I think this phone has awesome potential if myself or someone could take the time to figure all this out... Thx in advance hope to hear from someone soon

I bought the Grand X Max 2 & used it briefly as my main phone, I bought it as a temporary phone to hold me off until I could get the S8+, I still own the phone & still use it when home to keep from over working my S8+, I keep my old phones & old tablets use them for somethings to minimize the wear & tear on my new good expensive phone & tablets processors, anyways so I still use the Grand X Max 2, it's actually pretty good phone, the ZTE Z Max & the ZTE Grand X Max & Grand X Max 2 were all great fast smooth running phones, especially for their price tag, I found all kinds of hacks & mods for the Z Max, I didn't find any for the 1st generation Grand X Max Plus or it's successor the Grand X Max 2, I found this extremely frustrating.
I also have a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-907VL that I bought as a temporary phone & I couldn't find anything tips or tricks or hacks or mods on that specific S6 model, I couldn't believe that there was nothing on a Samsung S line phone, now I will only buy phones from Verizon or AT&T or unlocked phones straight from the companies website, my preference is unlocked phone but if I come across a real good deal then I will take it.
