Each time you want to make or apply an OS update, a tool which is
stored and running in the phone’s internal system is searching for the
upgrade and then is taking you through the installation procedure. We
are talking of course about the official software releases and not about
custom ROMs, or unofficial firmware. But, during the following lines I
will show you how to download an app which will offer an update
possibility apart from the classic OTA (Over The Air).
The tool is designed and developed by Samsung, for its devices,
meaning that you can’t use the same on different handsets. It’s an
official application, so don’t worry, you will not lose the warranty, or
something like that, by using it. I am talking about Kies Mini (I will
show you from where you can download it), a program which is coming with
many features.
In order to take advantage and to receive the updates coming from
Samsung, you should have the latest version of KIES Mini downloaded and
installed on your phone. The tool is coming with drivers that will let
you install and apply beta firmware, which otherwise can be flashed only
by using Odin (another program developed by Samsung).
Remember that in case you already have Kies installed it is a good
idea to check if there are updates available. Also, check for this each
time you have the opportunity. Now in order to be able to download Kies
Mini you should have access to a Windows / Linux / MAC running computer,
to your phone and to its USB cord. Also, on the PC you must have
available an USB port and don’t forget to temporarily uninstall
Firewall, or other security programs from your computer and from the
smartphone.
Then, all it is left to do is to get the actual tool. So, download Kies Mini from here and place the file to the computer. Then, you can copy the program on your phone and check for OS updates.
