How to Update Galaxy S2 Duos TV GT-S7273T to Android 4.2.2 UIUANC2
New stuff is coming up your Galaxy S2 Duos TV GT-S7273T phone’s way. And it can be summed up in several words. But allow us to tell you more about this in the next couple of paragraphs!
When Android 4.2.2. Jelly Bean UIUANC2 came out this month for the Galaxy S2 Duos S7273T, Brazil was the first country to see the new official firmware. So, if you’re using this phone on TIM, try updating it to this new OS. The firmware also has an activated KIES logo, meaning that the KIES software can work as an upgrade method; however, we do request using this option only if the phone uses stock ROM.
The Jelly Bean’s novelties consist of, among others, a new set of download notifications and a USB debug white-list. Other goodies look like this: Bluetooth audio streaming made better and low battery bug fixes. An option of long-pressing the WiFi Bluetooth icons in Quick Settings in order to be able to toggle the on/off state is also on-board. A new set of sounds for wireless charging and a totally new Gallery app will be offered, too.
The upgrade will wreak havoc on a rooted device. The first to go though damage will be the root access. After it gets revoked, the phone’s system partition will be erased. As far as your handset’s important data goes, you will not see it deleted. Fortunately as well, the internal and external SD cards will be saved.
Don’t forget to only use your handset for the upgrade. When the new firmware ends up on a different smartphone, it is going to be bricked.
