Find a stable Android Oreo ROM zip and the corresponding GApps (Google Apps) for ARM architecture.
Search for "LineageOS 15.1 SM-J200G XDA" if you want to proceed. Always read the last 10 pages of the forum thread to see if the download links still work. And remember—back up your IMEI before you do anything else.
This is the most common custom version for bringing Oreo to older J2 models.
If you find a website claiming to offer an “Official Oreo Update” for the J2, it is either a scam, malware, or a custom ROM mislabeled. Samsung abandoned this device in 2017. To get Oreo, you must void your warranty (which is likely expired anyway) and flash a custom recovery.
The installation process requires patience and technical know-how, but for many Galaxy J2 owners, the effort is well worth it. As one user noted, after installing LineageOS, their Galaxy J2 finally felt usable again.
Some beta builds exist that push the device even further to Android 10.
