| 5 In my [last blog post](|filename|./kies-woes.md) I talked about my unsuccessful experience with Kies. Since then I bought a cheap hard drive and put it into my work machine and installed Windows on it. Kies installed fine on that windows installation but much to my disappointment I did not get an Android update to 2.3.x last time I checked. | |

| 7 Today I booted that windows install again. I launched Kies and was surprised to be offered an update to Gingerbread. That warm, fuzzy feeling only lasted for about an hour - the time it took to realize that the software update via Kies just won't work. | |

| 9 The download process starts and Kies says it's preparing for update now. But then nothing happens - the progress bar animation runs but even waiting for an hour does not show any progress. | |

| 11 Oh well - I guess it's time to start looking into custom flashing tools like Odin and friends. |
