Samsung has begun distributing the Android
4.1.2 update OTA across the globe for a little
while now. But if you haven't received your
update and are getting a little impatient, you
can install it right now using the Flash
program "Odin," which is not at all difficult to
use. Find out how to download & install Jelly
Bean for Galaxy S2.
To snag Android 4.1.2 on your Galaxy S2, first
you'll need to install Odin and Samsung's
stock ROM (international version). Sammobile
offers both as downloads, but because it can
be painfully slow to download them from their
site, we're offering them to you on our servers
as well. Here you can download Samsung's
stock ROM, and here you can download Odin.
Obligatory warning: AndroidPIT cannot be held
responsible if you follow our instructions
incorrectly and end up damaging your phone.
Here's How to Install The Update on Your
Galaxy S2:
1. Download Odin and the firmware on your
PC (links above) and extract the files, placing
them in the folder of your choice.
2. Secure your smartphone with Ultimate
Backup because you are going to need to
return your phone to factory settings and clear
all caches. Theoretically, it's possible to install
the update without wiping your device, but
there's risk that your phone then won't run
smoothly.
3. Turn off your device. Then start it in recovery
mode by holding the volume up, home button
and power button simultaneously until a small
green Android appears with a menu above
him.
4. Use the volume buttons to choos "wipe
data / factory reset" and select it with the
power button. Scroll down to "yes" using the
volume button and select it with the power
button again. Then repeat the procedure with
"wipe cache partition."
5. Choose "reboot system now" using the
power button.
6. Turn the phone off again.
7. Restart phone in download mode (home +
power + volume down).
8. Start Odin on your computer
9. Click PDA and add the unzipped firmware
code:
I9100XWLS8_I9100XXLS8_I9100FOPLS3_HOM
to PDA
Leave everything else unchanged and make
sure that the "repartition" box is not checked.
10. Connect your Galaxy S2 to your PC via
USB cable. In the top left of Odin, you should
now see a box which reads 0:COM 12 (It may
also read a different number besides 12).
11.Click "start" and wait until the green
"PASS!" button appears. Wait until your Galaxy
S2 has restarted before you disconnect it.
12. THAT'S IT!
If your phone gets stuck during the boot
process, do not panic! This often happens
during the Flash process. Try pressing the
power button down until the Galaxy S2 turns
off, then repeat steps 2 through 4..
