I just unplugged and plugged back in my phone and got this from lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 028: ID 04e8:685e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100
Phone [Galaxy S II] (USB Debugging mode)

then ran your update-usbids, then ran lsusb again and got this:
Bus 001 Device 029: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100
Phone [Galaxy S II], GT-I9300 Phone [Galaxy S III], GT-P7500 [Galaxy Tab
10.1]
