Install Official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OTA Update To Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Model; Firmware Available To Southeast Asian Countries

Samsung is currently on a roll when it comes to releasing official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update to its plethora of mobile devices.

Most recently, the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, which is the flagship device more known as the LTE variant, received the over-the-air update, making it possible for their owners to install official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware to the device. The OTA update via XXUBMG5 firmware should now be available to Galaxy S4 users in Southeast Asian countries.

Samsung Galaxy S4 owners from Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines can already install official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware once they have the OTA update. However, because it is an unbranded firmware, unlocked Galaxy S4 LTE variant from any region of the world can also have the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update, but only through the manual installation process.

According to International Business Times, the official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update will fix bugs issues as well as provide improvements on the performance of the earlier version of the firmware.

Before you proceed with the process of installing 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update to your Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone with LTE through the manual process, there are few things to remember:
