about flashing Ace 2 (GT-I8160) without .OPS file

amkahal

Hi guys, i'm facing a problem with my new galaxy Ace 2 Phone, it has a foreign firmware that does not support RTL (right-to-left) Languages such as arabic, so the solution is to flash an Arabic-Enabled firmware, i have the firmware file but i don't have the .OPS file needed by all Samsung phones to flash correctly, can i flash it without this file ?? or anybody has another idea about this situation ? thank you in advance.

i didn't try because this way is not guaranteed and can brick the phone.
any other solution?

No. It actually saved my phone. :p
I have installed a custom rom and got a bootloop (soft brick if you want), so I went into download mode and flashed it to the stock GB and installed in less than 10 minutes.
I think Odin is directly connected to Samsung so no worries, you have a higher chance to brick it via Kies 'cause Kies might crash anytime ;).
