+Title: Kies woes again
+Date: 2011-08-10
+Lang: en
+
+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.
+
+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. 
+
+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.
+
+Oh well - I guess it's time to start looking into custom flashing tools like Odin and friends.
