Upgrading Samsung Galaxy Tab2 to JellyBean

To my surprise, the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 PT5100 I bought was having Android ICS. So started the experiments on how to get it upgraded to JellyBean.

First what I tried was using the Samsung Kies software available in my laptop for upgrading the firmware, but that was not even recognizing the device!

As any good user of Microsoft Windows does, I too uninstalled Kies completely and installed again the latest version downloaded from Kies download link . Started the new Kies application thinking that will magically upgrade my Tab to JellyBean. But life is never that easy when it comes to Samsung Kies software.

It started giving the error "the ordinal 9272 could not be located in the ..."
After some research - came to the possible solution of installing the latest '.Net' framework
.Net Framework

 The moment I see such 'for programmer' error message from any software, I know things will not be smooth. Here also, on restart Kies started giving another error "

The ordinal 7426 could not be located in the dynamic link library mfc90u.dll"

This time possible solution was updating the VisualC++ libraries from here VisualC++ download

Also have a look at this Microsoft discussion thread discussion forum.

Luckily the problems with the Kies disappeared now(Frankly I was expecting to see couple of more cryptic error messages). But the Kies proudly reported that my Tab is having the latest software and no upgrade is available!

With this I stopped my efforts to upgrade the software using Kies.

But luckily the next day , a notification appeared in Tab indicating that an "Upgrade is available", I jumped and accepted the notification before it disappears. In around 20 min the device was upgraded to Android 4.1.2 JellyBean. Looks like we can still believe in miracles in this world!

A request to Samsung -

If the intention behind creating Kies is helping the customers in tasks like upgrading Firmware, then there are multiple areas which needs improvement. Starting with the first perception point of executing the software successfully. 

But if the intention is teaching customers about what kind of 'ordinals' are in the mfc dll then it is doing the job beautifully.
