In a previous post I explained how to update your phone to to 2.3. Now you can update it to 4.1

Supposing you completed the prev steps in this post and you have Cyanogen 7.2 (or later) you will need this file: cyanogenmod10

• NOW CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO THE COMPUTER AND PLACE THE CWM ROM AND GOOGLE APPS PACKAGE INTO YOUR PHONE’S SD CARD.
• NOW DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM YOUR COMPUTER.
• TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE NOW SO AS TO ENTER INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
• TO ENTER YOUR DEVICE, INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME DOWN + CENTER BUTTON + POWER TILL THE TIME YOUR PHONE ENTERS INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
• IT WILL APPEAR LIKE THIS

NOW OPEN THE ODIN APPLICATION IN YOUR COMPUTER AND CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO THE COMPUTER AND MAKE SURE ODIN IS OPEN IN YOUR COMPUTER. IN ODIN, CLICK ON OPS TAB AND SELECT THE“EUROPA.OPS” FILE AND SELECT “CLOCKWORKMOD-GALAXY5-V0.7.TAR”  

FINALLY JUST HIT START BUTTON AND THE FLASHING PROCESS WILL Start
