[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.

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

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

How to install Stock on S5 Active (G900A)?

Hello Guys,
the story is: i've just bought Galaxy S5 Active with some custom ROM installed (TMS5), rooted.
the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)
the problem: i'd really like to have stock firmware on this one? Can You please tell me what are the options for me?
Thanks,
Jazzhoo
Update:
Guys, for anyone that is thinking about unrooting or installing the newest software through OTA.. i'll give You an advice.. don't!
some time has passed since i bought S5A with TMS5 3.0 custom soft, i wanted to unroot and install stock. thankfully i've found no way to do so.
i'm really happy to have root/custom so i can personalize my phone as i want! and i don't need to use crappy unrooted stock!
peace guys!

[Help] Update Phone: On G900AUCU3BOC4 Android 5.0

Hello Everyone,
I got the At&t version of the S5, but I do not use At&t and cannot update my software.
My phone is currently on G900AUCU3BOC4 which is Android 5.0 which the bootloader got updated and it's harder to load.
I want to know if anyone can give me the .tar file or whatever to flash with odin so I can update my phone to the latest software that At&t provides. It would be nice if you can provide me some instructions since I am a pretty noob at flashing and don't want to brick my phone.
I been exploring XDA forums before, but apparently there has been a massive update since I been here and a lot of things has changed and I cannot find what I need.
Thanks again.

Look for the guide by shortydoggg. 5.1.1 is linked there.

sm-g800a s5 mini

I need some help I have a sm-g800a Samsung galaxy s5 mini from at&t. I wanna get some some custom roms and recovery in it. What do u need to do get around the all the red tape associated with att. What time to I need to spend to get this done. Please help. I wanna upgrade too.

The answer is literally in EVERY release post of a custom rom.

There has to be some way. We can get around this. What about if I flashed the unlocked version's firmware on it?
