How to upgrade from Android version 2.3 froyo to 4.0 ice cream sandwich? Is it possible to do an upgrade from different version shift to more higher version?
Â
Hi
I have researched about Android 2.3 to be updated to the new Android 4.0 and I found out that there are phones or tablets that are capable to doing it. But because of the advance structure of Android 4, there is no assurance that it will totally work. If you will upgrade to 4.0, the UI or user interface will be changed. However it will still depend if your device is capable of the update.
For further assistance regarding the update, might as well to keep in touch with the device manufacturer to have a better understanding about updating your Android 2.3.
Hope you will find this helpful.
Cheers
Upgrading your phone to a much higher mobile operating system version will depend on your handset. The upgradability of a phones operating system is determined by the manufacturer and they set the highest possible version of the Android mobile operating system that can be installed on a model of a Smartphone. One example of a Smartphone that is limited only to a certain Android version is the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300.
The Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 Smartphone ships with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is the original operating system that starts the phone when you buy it. The device can be upgraded up to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Higher than that like the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop, the phone may become unusable or some functions may not work. Installing an operating system beyond the limit of a phone’s supported version requires a special program that will do re-flashing on your phone.
In your case, since you want to upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, you need to check your phone if it supports upgrading up to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. You can visit your phone’s official website and check your phone’s upgradability. Another way is to visit GSMArena Phone Reviewer then search for your phone’s model. It will show you the highest possible version of Android that you can install on your Smartphone.
