Upgrade Samsung Galaxy 5 to Ice Cream Sandwich

How to upgrade to Android 4.0.4

This time I come with Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Hope you are all already upgraded your galaxy to Froyo by following my earlier post. Others no worries its the time for 4.0.4. The upgradation of 4.0.4 is much easier than earlier and no more complicated steps.

Important:

This is not a official firmware from samsung like 2.2. Its created by CyanogenMod. I personally tested myself in my mobile most of the things works fine so feel free to use.

Requirements:

A windows PC
USB cable
Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5503) mobile 😄

Download the below files.

ODIN – S5570_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.38.exe
OPS file – EUROPA_v1.0.ops
ClockworkMod Recovery – recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxy5.tar
Firmware 4.0.4 – update-cm-9-20120608-MADTEAM-galaxy5-signed.zip
Google apps – gapps-ics-small-20120429.zip

Before start Backup your contacts and everything. Because Upgrade will delete everything from your mobile not from sd card.

There are two phase

Boot your mobile in recovery mode
Install firmware and Google Apps

Clockworkmod Recovery:

For this you need ODIN and recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxy5.tar.

Steps:

Copy Firmware and Google Apps files to your sd card. We will use that in next phase.
Power off your mobile and Start your mobile in downloading mode. For that Press Volume Down + Home Button [Center Button] + Power Button.
Run that ODIN exe.
Connect to USB. Now ODIN detected your mobile in COM port.
Check the “One Package” Check box and Check all boxes in Options.
Select your OPS File.
Select recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxy5.tar
Press Start button

Now your mobile is automatically restart. It will show you a recovery screen.
