SII Firmware Upgrade Dropped out of Kies

[jpk_77]

Kies (2.3.2.12064_9) stated that a firmware upgrade was available so I started the process. The files were downloaded and the connection to the phone established. All seemed to be going to plan. Then the phone dropped out of Kies and is trying to reconnect. The computer flashed up a message that the device was not recognised. The phone is still attached to the USB and has the android icon with downloading...do not turn off target.

Is the phone already disconnected..? Not good I assume..

What should I do to recover? Can I recover????

Thanks.

Doesnt sound like its connected anymore. I would unplug, take out battery, replace and boot it up to see where you are.
You may have to flash your firmware yourself via Odin and Samfirmware.
If your phone is booting up ok you can try the update from the beginning via Kies.

I removed the battery and phone rebooted ok. No update had taken place. Tried again with Kies. Now on Android 4.0.3. Luckily download to phone had not started the first time. Blue status line had not appeared below android symbol. Thanks for the help.
