Android update fails Android 4.2.2 update fails on my Alcatel One Touch Idol S . The hardware is hardly the issue since it worked smoothly on my wife's phone which is exactly the
same model.

Specifically, Android installed version is 4.2.2/01001 . The update has the
exactly same version number (but there are real differences after the update
on my wife's phone, new features).

I did nothing specific before attempting to upgrade besides installing applications, the phone is not rooted.

I can download the update. When I press the install button, my phone restarts,
but after a few seconds I got the message


  Finding update package ...
  Installation aborted
                 Error !

  Android system recovery


with the following choices


reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data /factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from storage
fota status operation


What shall I do? I tried wipe cache partition, with no success. The only
difference I can see with my wife's phone is that mine is equipped with a
micro sd card. 

p.s.: I have seen
Update to Android 4.0.4 fails
but this is not a duplicate.
If you don't mind factory reset/wipe the phone and try updating again (back-up data before doing so). It should do the trick. But before trying above method, also try this because I doubt that the device is lacking memory resources on both SD card &amp; internal memory. Try to make some free space in internal memory/external memory (400 MB-500 MB must be suffice).
