For a expert it is not a big thing to revert back to jellybean..itz a preliminary thing for a android expert..I can install jellybean on your grand2 again with my eyes closed..remember u can't revert back to jellybean with the help of kies..u need a flashing software calles ODIN..and also u need the firmware file (.md5)..I advise u to search over the internet "how to flash stock firmware on Samsung galaxy core?"..u will definitely learn something..gdluck

        AnonD-305470, 18 Oct 2014Kitkat is better than Jellybean. ..your experience with kit... moreCmmon there is nothing special on the kitkat update.... instead of the lockscreen music player widget... camera shortcut on the lockscreen... the black and white notification bar.... I was happy without these also.... Atleast I didn't have any major heating issues with my phone.... also GPS is not perfect... battery backup was good with jellybean.... Its not as simple as you listed to revert back to jellybean.... because a while installing the update it was clearly mentioned that it reverting back to jellybean isn't possible.... We can revert but a single mistake can heavily cost me....

I am using a ... moreKitkat is better than Jellybean. ..your experience with kitkat is bad..because, Samsung didn't properly tune kitkat for grand 2...and you can also revert back to jellybean very easily. ..I have done such things more than 100 times on various mobiles...juat you need-
          1) a pc and data cable
          2) usb driver(u can use pdnet)
          3) odin (flshing software)
          4) the firmware (u can download from sammobile.com)
          5) u should know how to enter the downloading mode (by pressing power+home+vol down button simultaneously)
          Thatz all..it will take 10 to 15 mint
          Your friend had done something wrong.but don't worry.he can again flash his grand 2 by odin

I am using a grand 2 upgraded with 4.4.2 kitkat... its the worst.... I am dying to revert back to jellybean but I just can't... Because one member on the grand 2 page decided to revert back to Jellybean and ended up bricking his device.... there is nothing special like that in kitkat... jellybean is the best.. and the main problem with motorola is that it hardly has any service centres in INDIA, so if any problem goes with the device the warranty cannot be claimed.. so I suggested sony and asus which have service centres almost everywhere in INDIA....

              Samsung phones are more costly than their actual value. This phone has poor battery backup, no HD video record or even play back, display is not even that good like moto e or other phones of same or lower value having ips display, drains out much faster than it recharges.
              -:Not recommend:-

                Remote Control and SIM Change Alert Settings don't work at all. No video streaming. So disappointing!

                      Anonymous, 16 Oct 2014Check out galaxy core prime @8.5k.......u will forget this this.I have already check the galaxy core prime... And moto G second generation is far better than galaxy core prime.. Because, moto G has a 5 inch 1280*720 hd resolution IPS display with 326 pixel density.. But prime has a 4.5 inch poor display resolution of 800*480 pls display and only 207 ppi pixel density..moto G has 8mp camera but prime has 5 mlp camera.. Moto g has 16 gb memory..but prime has 8 gb memory... Also motorola gives frequent os updates. But samsung is very very bad in update. They never upgrade their low cost mobiles

                            Is it just me or does the core not display emojis when you key them in. I have tried a thousand emoji keyboards but I keep getting those tiny boxes. It's really annoying. I had the trend plus before and had no such problems. Please help. Otherwise, I love this phone.

                                  Dont buy galaxy core...!! There are many good mobiles in this range like the asus zenfone 4 (2), moto G V2, xperia M, core is now of no use... its not a perfect mobile now... also never ho for a samsung mobile in low range.... if you want to buy a samsung mobile the GOOD mobiles start from 18k....!!
