How to Update Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812B to Android 4.1.2 VJANC1

Get ready for Android 4.1.2 making an appearance on Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812B. Your smartphone is offered this OS by new firmware launched recently for Brazil. More on this in our post!

If you’re using the Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812B in Brazil and you wish to enjoy the Android 4.1.2, a developer recently came up with new firmware. The new VJANC1 is its name and it should be flashed only on your phone model. A different model requires another tutorial which you’ll find on our site.

If this is the first time you’ve tried an upgrade, this is how a rooted device will react to it. First, it will lose its root access. Then it will end up with a deleted system partition. The important files you keep on your device won’t end up deleted. The internal and external SD cards on it will be saved, as well.

If the Android 4.1.2 JB is something you’ve never tried before, it’s time to do so. That’s due to the fact that this OS comes with really nice goodies. We’ll now introduce you to all of them. We will start the list with these: a new keyboard, mini apps and triple buffering. Extended Vsync timing, group cast and automatic adjustment for the size of widgets are coming up next. Also, the following should be added: Google Now, pop up play and a fixed frame of 60 fps. More is on the way: touch anticipation, all share, sync and connect email updates and free style widget. This new firmware won’t bring security problems with it.Galaxy-Fame-Duos-GT-S6812B

  5. Move on with this: after the Odin ends by finding your smartphone, it will display a blue sign telling you that the two are now plugged correctly. In case it isn’t, you can always repeat this part. B
