Next, during this tutorial you’ll find two sections, the first one present you the prerequisites that you need to follow before to move to the step by step guide, and the second one present you step by step guide with the files firmware file and the ODIN app links for downloading.
This update doesn’t receive of all users, and some of they need to wait to receive automatically this firmware, and also the officially update can be flashed only on a locked Samsung Galaxy Grand. For this reason if you have a rooted device, or it is running a custom ROM, and you want to install this official update then you need to use a manually method. Also, this method presented here will work in both cases for rooted or un-rooted devices.
So before starting the step by step installation guide follow the next prerequisites:
- A windows PC is required and an internet connection available on it. Also, the USB cord and the Galaxy Grand device need to be near of you.
- If you have a Grand rooted device, then you need to know that the root rights will be removed after the installation of this official firmware will be done.
- The warranty for your device will be restored, if your device’s warranty has been voided before and your device running a custom ROM firmware or it has been rooted before. The factory default restrictions will be reactivated, and if you want to root your device or to install the custom applications or ROMs you need to re-root your device once again using the suitable rooting tutorials.
- You won’t need to have a custom recovery image installed on your device; this method will use the ODIN app to install the firmware.
- As you probably know that, the ODIN app is a tool designed by Samsung especially for installing firmware in the Samsung devices.
- Deactivate or uninstall the security programs such as Antivirus and Firewall from both your PC and Android device.
- Don’t start the installation process, without making sure that your device has enough power left in its battery; the level of the battery must be more than 65% power left. Otherwise, your Galaxy Grand device can get a forced power off in the middle of the flashing process, and this unexpected event can brick it.
- Enable the USB debugging option from the next path: “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”. This action will make possible connection between Android device and PC via USB port.
- All the instructions and information listed here are only for Samsung Galaxy Grand model number I9082, so be sure your device is this model. Otherwise if, you’ll apply this guide for any other similar devices you can brick them.
- Backup all your important data and applications that you have stored in the Grand internal memory, even though this method doesn’t wipe the device’s internal memory, never know what can happen, and you’ll lose important information. So, as a precaution do a full backup for the Grand data, I recommend saving your SMS, contacts, call logs, market app, and note down the internet settings, EFS folder, and all the personal data.
- Install the suitable USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 device, you can use theSamsung KIES app to do this.
