Galaxy S2 Plus I9105P is this close to show you what its real worth is. We will provide a tutorial that will update your phone to official Android 4.2.2 XXUBMG8 OTA firmware.

Requirements

Throw your eyes upon the requirements below:

• flash the right set of USB Drivers for the phone on your notebook;
• charge the battery;
• turn on USB Debugging;
• make a backup;
• download official Android 4.2.2 XXUBMG8 Jelly Bean zip on the comp;
• turn off every single program that is on your handset and on your laptop to protect them from trouble of any kind.

Should the Galaxy S2 Plus be a rooted phone, the update shall take the root access away from it. For that to be reversed, you can root your device one more time after you finish all the steps in this guide.

Important instructions

To own a successfully updated Galaxy S2 Plus I9105P, your next role is the following: unzip the file you downloaded just now on the PC; wait for this file to pop on the screen: I9105PXXUBMG8_I9105POXABMG8_DBT.tar.md5. Then, if all's well, you can begin the download of an app called Odin on your comp; file name for this app is Odin3 v3.07. Its content should be unzipped and then you should power the smartphone off.

Enter the handset into Download Mode by performing these tasks: press and hold, at the same time, Volume Down + Home + Power; once you get a warning message, you have to release all those keys and instead press Volume Up. Return to the laptop; there, take the Odin3 v3.07.exe and launch it. Then plug the smartphone to your notebook. Next task: tap "PDA" from Odin and then opt for this:

I9105PXXUBMG8_I9105POXABMG8_DBT.tar.md5

Then load this file into the Odin application and, if Re-partition is checked, deselect it, then tap START to have the update firmware start its installation on the phone. Once the handset reboots, you will know that the flashing went without a glitch. So wait for a Samsung boot animation to appear and then unplug the handset from the notebook.

Your smartphone shall boot into Normal Mode. The tutorial is over.

Even if it's over, some of you may experience trouble. So, should Odin display a message that says "Fail", you need to do as follows:

- unplug the phone from your computer

- switch the Odin off

- take the battery of the handset out

- put it back in once six seconds of waiting are over

- redo the tutorial.

Another problem may happen: Odin alerts you that your phone is stuck in boot animation after the installation of the firmware is over. Here is what to do if something like this arrives:

- power the handset off

- enter it, again, in recovery mode

- choose Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- confirm the action

- wait for the task to complete

- go back to the device's recovery main menu

- look for Reboot System Now

- opt for it

- have patience until the first boot is over.

Go to your Galaxy S2 Plus I9105P and to the Android 4.2.2 XXUBMG8 official firmware. Now explore the possibilities your phone is ready to deliver.
