How to Flash Android 4.1.2 UHANA2 on Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310E

Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310E has what it takes to make you like it. However, it misses one thing: Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, the latest version. This variant is now ready to be installed on your phone, so make sure you grab the update!

The new OS is equipped with UHANA2. This firmware can be added to your handset after you make sure you’re using the Samsung GT-S5310E instead of any other model.

The UHANA2 can be used by every owner of this phone who lives in Chile and uses Entel PCS. The drawbacks to using this firmware on a rooted handset are as follows: root access will be revoked and the system partition will be erased. But the important files on your device won’t be lost; nothing will happen to the phone’s internal and external SD cards, either.

Our tutorial or OTA can be used for the upgrade. KIES software can’t be used. If you’re wondering whether your smartphone must have stock ROM for the OTA: yes, it must. We don’t ask for that in our guide.

When the Android 4.1.2 is among the phone’s specs, you will enjoy many new things. Such as mini apps, extended Vsync timing and a vastly enhanced keyboard. This is not all: a fixed frame of 60 fps, triple buffering and all share will be added to your smartphone, too. As will these: automatic adjustment for the size of widgets and free style widget. Pop up play, Google Now as well as group cast will also land on the device. The last to appear there are touch anticipation together with this: sync and connect email updates.
