How To Install ReVolt Jelly Bean ROM On Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 [GUIDE]

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is the smoothest OS to date. Galaxy S2 users can enjoy Android 4.1 Jelly Bean through the ReVolt JB custom ROM. The credit goes to XDA Developers’ member johnhany97. The ROM is based on CynaogenMod 10 and AOKP. This ROM brings an OTA Update Center application, working maps and much more to the device. However, there is more than likely to be a few bugs as it’s not the official firmware update from Samsung.

The instructions for this guide will work on the GT-i9100 model of the Samsung Galaxy S2. They may lead to undesired results on other models and devices. Reading the guide over twice would be a wise thing to do before actually trying the instructions. You should disable any security software that have a chance of interfering with the process, and backup all the personal data on the device. You’re going to follow the guide at your own risk, as iJailbreak won’t take responsibility for any damages if something goes wrong with the device.
