7. Check that the box division do not be coach

8. Click on Start and wait a few minutes

9. Once Odin displays PASS!, the operation is over!

The only concern for Samsung, the S4 which was not particularly distinguished from its predecessor seems to lose some of its originality. If we consider that its main strength was its unspoken features, then we can now all opt for the S3!

Update: the firmware does not offer French (English), otherwise, it is stable, the network works, and no slowdown is lurking. Some irrelevant applications have been invited, but nothing can be uninstalled. The functions of Galaxy S4 are well. Again, this remains a pre-release, and if you need your smartphone every day for business or other reasons, we advise you not to install this version and wait for Android 4.2.2 official.
