Well most website doesn't say this but you must authorize the desktop and login to iTunes.  What I did is to allow iTunes to connect with my account and after that I start to upgrade the iOS.

For Celcom users, carrier upgrade will be asked upon complete boot up. This will remove the MY before the Celcom!!
