Today I finally upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich platform. The first thing that rankles me is the fact that I had to use MS Windows to upgrade the firmware due to the fact that Kies cannot be run under Linux! Anyway, here are a few issues that I encountered during the upgrade:
1. Kies could not recognise the phone. This was solved by keying in the dialer *#7284# > USB > select PDA. (If PDA has already been selected, then select MODEM and then PDA again.)
2. During the installation of the firmware, progress bar suddenly became 0%, Kies complained that the phone is disconnected. However there was the warning message "Do not disconnect target" displayed on the phone. All was well again after rebooting the phone and rerunning the firmware upgrade. Weird.
But it was an interesting process. I learned a few dialer codes and some shortcut buttons which I will detail in the next post.
