Update Galaxy Grand 2 DUOS SM-G7102 to Jelly Bean 4.3 XXUANC3

Galaxy Grand 2 DUOS SM-G7102 has officially received XXUANC3. This new firmware will enable you to have great fun with your smartphone. So give it a try, you won’t regret it!

The new stock firmware, released this month, lets you update the Samsung G7102 to Android 4.3. But the firmware in questions isn’t available for everyone. Use it only if you like in India, Bangladesh or Nepal. And only if the smartphone in your hands is the right model.

With its KIES logo turned off, the new firmware gives you only two installation methods. One of them is our guide; the other is OTA. If the second option is what you decide to go for, use it only if the phone has stock ROM.

With the XXUANC3 on your Galaxy Grand 2 DUOS, you will encounter lots of pros. They imply things like customization options, many new features, battery enhancers and such.

But there’s a catch to the whole procedure. When done on a phone with rooted access, the update means this: root access will be revoked. Also, there won’t be a system partition on your device anymore. Still, you won’t lose your handset’s internal / external SD cards not its data.
