    Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The download is 443.341 MiB; keep about twice that free on the computer to unzip it. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 must be on bootloader binary N (23) or lower.

    This build uses bootloader binary N (23). It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 running binary N (23) or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 1 other build of this model uses the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
