Procedure to Update Samsung Galaxy S with ICS Android 4.0.3 Firmware:
- Download the ICS Android 4.0.3 Complete Package in your computer and then you need to connect your phone to the computer. After this, copy the Downloaded zip file as it is without renaming or extracting in your phone’s SD CARD. After this you need to disconnect the phone just in case if its still connected.
- Now, turn Off the phone so as to enter the phone in the recovery mode. The recovery mode can be entered by pressing Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button. In recovery mode, select options “Wipe data/factory reset”, “Wipe Cache partition”.
- After this, select “install zip from sd card” > “choose zip from sd card” and then choose the ICS Zip file which you have placed in your phone. As soon as you select the file, it will take up to 15 minutes to apply this firmware update. Please note that you should not restart or interrupt the process of firmware update or this may make your device unstable.
- Once the process gets done, the phone will reboot and reboot too will take longer time than the normal one, it may take even 10 minutes on the S Logo as it’s the first boot. As soon as the phone gets booted, there you go. You are now on the latest version of Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 firmware.
Note: if your device is continuously getting restarted on its own then you need to repeat the whole process which is mentioned above so as to update the phone.
