Here now but I will make you aware of a very good news that the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos (SM-G355H) Smartphone users can further update their Smartphones to the brand new Android 4.4.2 XXU0ANI7 stock firmware in selected countries. The countries where this new firmware has gone on live are Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines (Sun Cellular, Open Line, Smart & Globe), Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. If you are a user of the said device and residing in any of the above mentioned countries, then you can upgrade your device further to the new firmware via both OTA and manual update methods. Remember, this update is meant only for the countries we have mentioned above. Now question arises, how to update? Very simple. Since it’s an OTA update, the firmware will be pushed to your device and then you can flash it in your device by downloading it and following the appearing instructions on your scree. But users who are not endowed with the OTA firmware are recommended to follow the alternate method i.e. manual update. But for manual update you have to focus on certain criteria. Have a look on those below.
