While almost all Samsung devices of Galaxy Series are getting upgraded to the newest firmware version, there is one more device recently added to the list. It’s the Samsung Galaxy SM-J120ZN Smartphone. Of course the firmware is being rolled Over The Air, but following the below given manual update method, the users can also flash the new Lollipop OS on their Samsung Galaxy SM-J120ZN. The firmware build is named as J120ZNDVU1APK1 and is being rolled Over The Air in New Zealand and Australia this month. But as usual it might take little time to reach your Galaxy handset as it’s rolled in installments..
Being an official update, the rooted and tweaked Smartphones will be revoked to the stock android OS and hance the users have to root their Samsung Galaxy SM-J120ZN again. But if you are using the manual update method, then it will be quite fruitful for you and the firmware can be flashed on your handset without further delay. Remember, BlogZamana will never be blamed for any sort of issues or bugs if created in your PC due to the ODin update method.
