The Samsung Galaxy Beam was an experiment that never really translated into too many sales, but that doesnt mean the company will be leaving it to rot without software updates.

If youre using a desktop computer, try to use the USB ports on the back as theyre more stable than the ones at the front.

This is common when you flash an official firmware on a device thats not from the same region or on a custom ROM, and the fix is pretty simple, though youll lose your installed apps and app data (but not your storage contents.)

Now, press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, after which it will boot into recovery mode. Using the volume buttons to scroll and the home/power button to select, select the wipe data/factory reset option and confirm the data wipe on the next step. Once the data wipe is complete, select the reboot system now option to reboot. The phone will now successfully boot up into the Searching OS, after which youi8530xxamf1 can restore any backups for ? you took before flashing the firmware. The test Android 4.1.2 firmware is now installed on your Galaxy Beam. Remember, its a test you run into any problems during the flashing procedure.
