[Q] how to upgrade to andriod 2.2 without using att network?

Hi,
I bought Samsung Captivate in US and now use it in India. I would like to upgrade to android 2.2 official version but am not sure how to do it without using att network.
Would appreciate your help if you can point me to any existing thread or any instructions on how to upgrade.
Thanks,
Vijay

Didn't think there was an "Official" OTA from AT&T. I know Rogers received an update but not AT&T.
If there is you would be able to get it in the Dev forum as I'm sure someone would have created an Odin 1-Click for it.

If you're that anxious to add Froyo, your best bet is to use a port of the Rogers release. I think the latest Cognition has it. Otherwise wait a little longer to see if ATT does release an update and someone will surely create a ROM that you can flash.

For how to install custom ROMs, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
For custom ROMs , there are many..
use cognition based on the Rogers official build

Thanks for your response and help. Surprised to know that att has still not launched the froyo version since its' available by Samsung directly.
I am new to this forum and the whole installing custom roms process so appreciate the links.

[Q] Rogers Captivate andriod 2.2 Upgrade to AT&T Captivate?

Hi
I am using a AT&T captivate with andriod 2.1 Update 1 (build Number ECLAIR.UCJH7)
The phone is unlocked as i am working these days in another country and using a different network. I want to update my phone to the official rom update by Rogers (andriod 2.2) which came this week.
Can anyone here please tell me how to do it and that will my phone remain unlocked or not. Also tell me if there are any issues doing it. I am not using the AT&T network so branding is not a issue.
If anyone here could please explain to me with some links to the things i need to download to update.
Thanks a lot people
Cheers
Tiwana

Cognition and Firefly are both based on ROGERS CAPTIVATE!! You can use any.. If you have an i896, then you can do an official upgrade using Kies.

For Cognition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912657
Latest version: 3.04
For Firefly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284
Latest version: 2.0.4
These are both stable, you can read the change logs from the OP in those threads. Your phone will remain unlocked, if it is already unlocked after you load a custom ROM.
The captivate has no official FROYO yet. 3 days back, T-Mobile Vibrant released an official FROYO update.
Hope this helps

Unrooting is different from restoring or reflashing stock rom.
Not seeing any Firmware for that build
Which Carrier are you using?

Im currently using Cricket mobile. Previously I was using straight talk. Can I factory reset it? If not what would be a good firmware region to download from. I live in the USA. If I can't put the original firmware on it how can I restore or reflash the stock rom. Would it be easier to just upgrade with the newest firmware?

Since you're in the USA you're never going to receive an OTA for the i9295. Your only option is to manually flash the firmware you would like to use. Just looking at the firmware available on sammobile.com, I'm thinking the German XXUDOB4 firmware should work pretty well. I had XXUCNE5 on my phone and had no problems with it living in Washington DC.

Samsung has a piece of software called Kies that can be used to upgrade your ROM.

Got your solution, i am also having the same problem, and i use At&t , please can you help if you got your solution.

Follow step 1 of OP ( downloading and flashing build PA2 with Odin) that should give fairly recent build of lollipop.
