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
Hi, i've been waiting for my phone to tel me of the update to 2.3.6, its been a few weeks now and I still haven't got it
Is it worth updating? And does it give any new features?
If not then I will stick to 2.3.4
Thanks
BTW my bootloader is locked, and running in the UK but bought from the US if this makes a difference?
Hi!
I'm on the new $30/4G Monthly TMO plan and running the UGLV3 firmware on an AT&T Note SGH-I717. I know that in January TMO released new firmware UVMA1 and I'm wondering if anyone has tried to load this on their AT&T-branded Note? The reason I'm asking is because once I loaded TMO UGLV3 and a TMO modem the AT&T Note the phone really flew, fantastic upload and download speeds and pretty fluid response, so I'm wondering if the updated firmware is even better.
Again, I'm not asking how to do it (I'd use Kies) just if anyone has tried.. my fear is that the serial number check that Kies uses obviously won't match the T879 model and Kies will fail to load the firmware, but again, before I go through all that I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!!

First of all, hi.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active I9295 with android 4.2.2 and I've seen on internet that 4.4 is out, but not for all devices.
I didn't received any notification through wi-fi, i checked for updates even using kies but no result.
I just want to ask.. can I update using another 4.4 version ? (from nordic countries or germany or etc).. without carrier-locking my phone ?
Do you recommend me any official 4.4. rom that would be compatible with my phone ?
And, not at least, are there any improvements in battery on Kit Kat ? (that's the reason I want to update, my battery sucks).
Right now I have baseband I9295XXUBML3; VERSION NUMBER JDQ39.I9295XXUBML3, KERNEL VERSION [email protected] #1.
Please answer as soon as possible.
Thans !
nobody ? >.>
Same situation here... same specs.
Nobody ?

It is safe to flash any other i9295 firmware. When the firmware for your country is released you can just reflash.
I'm still not sure.. are there any reasons to take the risk ?
I've seen a lot of people complaining about wi-fi and having to flash modem separately.. and so on.
So, it is 100% safe ? and are there any improvements which deserve the risk ?i
Hi,
i got this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764500
works like a charm, for me.
I'm still on 4.2.2 as well as there has been no official update for me yet. Yay for Eastern Europe.
From what I've heard 4.4 should handle the battery a little better and microSD cards a lot worse. Apparendly Android 5 (Lollipop?) will fix the SD card trouble, look a lot more like Ubuntu Touch (rumoured Q4 2013 :silly: ) and will only take a few months until it is out (rumoured Q4 2014). So you can flash twice or wait and flash once. It depends on how you use your phone, though I doubt S4A will be getting Android 5 as an official Samsung update.
The flashing guides are good enough to minimize the risk either way.
Official OTA came for this firmware.. Kies didn't find any update btw.
I'll come with an edit or something else after it finishes.
// So far so good.
Everything works like a charm, battery looks promising, can't tell until a full charge.
Love white battery indicator.
Not big modifications btw, i'd have loved if they put S5 UI...
i have a device with basically the exact kernel, baseband version and build number, but i have no OTA update, and kies don't find any update, any idea why ?
baseband > I9295XXUBML3
kernel > 3.4.0-2015525 [email protected]#1
build > JDQ39.I9295XXUBML3

if i flash it with any other i9295 firmware, will my phone be carrier-locked or something?

No. The firmwares ate optimized for specific regions, but they do not lock you in to a carrier. The major difference between the different versions will be the modems and the APN settings, so you may find that you get better signal with one version as opposed to another.
Hopefully somebody else can chime in and share their experience.
I want to download an update i saw on the sam mobile website.
So i can download and install any official firmware for i9295 on my phone, regardless the baseband, version number, etc? Right?!
My current carrier will still be working right?

what did you flash?
First I flashed the 4.4.2 firmware then after boot loop I found this fix on xda http://[Unbrick] Fix All For Samsung S5 AT&T (SM-G900A) Lollipop 5.1.1 but I think the problem may be caused by my device is still on 5.0 So security is enforced?
Yikes. Um.. my best guess here is that you will need to ODIN in the 5.0 firmware and take it from there. I may be wrong but that is where I would start to look.
Yeah that's how I flashed everything else, thank you for the reply I thought that was the issue in the middle of explaining everything I did to you, I appreciate it thanks for pointing me in the right direction
