Download files:

Odin3-v3.12.7

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean XXUCNK4

Procedure:

Step 1: Download and extract both of the above files to a convenient location on your computer. After extracting the firmware package (.zip file), you’ll find the .tar.md5 file in it:

Step 2: Now switch off your Galaxy Camera 2 and boot it into downloading mode.

Step 3: For doing so, press and hold the ‘Power button + Shutter key’ simultaneously until you see a warning message. Then leave all the keys.

Step 4: Keeping the device as it is, connect it to your computer using the micro USB cable. Now just press the Zoom Right key to continue. This will directly land your Galaxy Camera 2 into downloading mode. Refer to the screenshot.

Step 5: Next open the downloaded files on the computer and launch the ‘Odin Multi Downloader3-v3.12.7′ software which you’ve just received after extraction. As soon as you open it, the ID: COM section located at the top left corner will turn light blue. Also, an Added message will appear in the message box window. This will confirm that your Galaxy Camera 2 has successfully connected to your computer.

Note: If such a thing doesn’t happen then it’s more likely to be a problem with the device-specific drivers. Confirm whether you’ve properly installed the device drivers on your computer or not. You can install them manually from the links given in the Pre-Requisites section. If the problem persists try changing the USB cable or even the USB port.

Step 6: Now click on the Options tab present on the Odin window. There you’ll see Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time options. Tick only these two options and leave all the other options as they are.

Note: Do not tick the Re-partition option as it may increase the risk of bricking your device.

Step 7: Now, click on the AP button on the Odin window and browse to the firmware package file (GC200XXUCNK4_GC200OXACNK4_GC200XXU_HOME.tar.md5) and select it.

Step 8: Now initiate the installation by pressing the Start button located on the Odin window.

Note: The device will automatically boot itself while the process goes on. Do not disconnect the micro USB cable as it may interrupt the flashing process.

Step 9: Get relaxed and wait for few minutes to get the installation completed. As soon as it completes successfully, you’ll see that the ID: COM section on the Odin window is turned green with the message ‘Pass’ below it. Also, the device will automatically restart. This will confirm that you have successfully flashed the Official Android 4.3 XXUCNK4 Jelly Bean firmware on your Galaxy Camera 2 GC200. Now you may disconnect your device by safely removing the micro USB cable.

Note: If the process fails or if Odin gets stuck or in case your device gets into a boot loop, then close the Odin window, remove the battery from your Galaxy Camera 2 and re-insert it. Again go into downloading mode and implement the same procedure as given above.
