Thanks for this guide, however I'm keen to know what is different in this update? Looking at the firmware details on sammobile, it seem this firmware is specific to southeast Asia, will flashing it cause problems for the rest of us?

Hi, my phone came with this already installed through my carrier 02-UK. The Ace 2 runs so smoothly on this & just add the MoboPlayer "picture-in-picture" video pop-up + Flipboard + Speaktoit Assistant & you have a mini SIII, without the ridiculously large handset!! lol :five: Graham - London

If only one file found (tar.md5) you are supposed to put it in the PDA section.
