    How to flash I8160NELK3

    • HOME_CSC: Use HOME_CSC to update the same model and region while keeping your data. Back up anyway: a failed update can still require a reset.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I8160NELK3 is Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) firmware for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, released for Ireland (3IE), Italy (HUI). Samsung built it on 2012-11-21.

    No. A newer build for GT-I8160 is available: I8160ZSLK2. Install it instead of I8160NELK3 unless you need this exact version. The previous build was I8160NELG2.

    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 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.
