As for requirements, you need to do as follows: use the variant which is both carrier and factory unlocked, make backups via our instructions, flash USB drivers on your PC, charge the device’s battery and turn on USB Debugging.

How to update I9100P to XXLSS Jelly Bean 4.1.2 firmware

  1. To update your phone, you need to begin by saving the on your notebook, then unzipping it; this is one of the most important file extensions you should be left with: .tar.md5.
  2. Then you have to save Odin tool 3.07 on the same laptop and look around for Odin3 v3.07.exe. Now turn the smartphone off and enter it in Download Mode by performing the following tasks: simultaneously press + hold Volume Down, Home and Power, then wait for a “!” to come on the screen at which moment you should press Volume Up.
  3. Once the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100P is in the Download Mode, you can run the Odin tool .exe as Admin. After you do that, your next tasks should be these: plug the smartphone to your comp and look around for “Added!!” and an ID:COM box in yellow + a COM port number; this means the connection has been completed.
  4. In case these two signs are nowhere to be seen, you will have to flash the USB Drivers again; or try with a different USB port.
  5. Now opt for a couple of files that will appear after you click on the following buttons:
    – PDA, then opt for a .tar.md5 file;
    – Phone and after you do that, be sure to choose a file with MODEM in its name;
    – CSC, after which you should opt for a file containing CSC in its name;
    – PIT and choose a file which contains a .pit extension.
  6. After the above is performed, you need to continue by doing as follows: check mark F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot; if you opted for the .pit file, you need to also select Re-partition.
  7. But if you didn’t see the four files above, you should leave the Re-partition box unchecked and click START to begin the flashing of the XXLSS official firmware.
  8. The installation will be over soon and your Galaxy S2 I9100P is going to restart and then display PASS. Now is the moment you’ve been waiting for: you can disconnect the handset from your laptop. The phone has been upgraded to the Android 4.1.2 XXLSS Jelly Bean official firmware, which is in the device’s About Phone section.
