How to Upgrade your android to 2.2

Galaxy 5 and 3 with 2.2

I am going to give steps for how to updagrade your Samsung Galaxy 3 (GT-I5800) and Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5503) phone OS Android 2.1 (Eclair) to Android 2.2 (Froyo). I tested these steps myself. So feel free to use. It will surely work for Asia / India users.

The Hardware Requirement are:

  • Windows PC.
  • Samsung Usb cable
  • Absolutely a Mobile either Galaxy 5 or 3

The Software Requirement are:

  • ODIN Multi Downloader.
  • OPS file
  • Firmware file

The OPS file and Firmware are varies depends upon your Handset. First download the required files.

For Galaxy 5:

ODIN – http://www.multiupload.com/MUBOZPEOS3 or http://www.multiupload.com/LFJRACWNQ2
OPS file – http://www.multiupload.com/8RHO5C274Y
Firmware – http://hotfile.com/dl/123845000/31b1ad6/I5503DXJP8_I5503DXJP7_I5503OLBJP7.rar.html

For Galaxy 3:

ODIN – http://www.multiupload.com/LFJRACWNQ2
OPS File – http://www.multiupload.com/SOMN2EWF0J
Firmware – http://hotfile.com/dl/114560665/a896f1d/I5801DDJP2.rar.html

Password for all rar/zip file is : samfirmware.com

Before start Backup your contacts and everything. Because Upgrade will delete everything from your mobile not from sd card.

How to start mobile in downloading mode

Steps:

  • Clean your existing data. Goto to Settings → Privacy → Factory data Reset
  • Remove your SIM and SD card
  • Run that ODIN exe. Some times it requires Admin privileges.
  • Power off your mobile. Start your mobile as Downloading mode. For that Press Volume Down + Home Button [Center Button] + Power Button
  • Connect to USB. Now ODIN detected your mobile in COM port.
  • Check the “One Package” Check box and Check all boxes in Options.
  • Select your OPS File.
  • Select your firmware. Extract that rar file and select tar file with in that.
  • Click start button.

      Are you already upgraded to 2.2..? or you going to do..? which network you are using.. may be its seems to be gprs issue.. For upgrading to 2.2 these steps are fine..

    thanks bro…. the steps highlighted are perfect.

    just an experience:
    froyo was up, the internet connectivity went.
    to fix it: setup manual apn settings and you are back in action

    froyo was up, wifi went off in a days use
    backup your phone, root it with superoneclick and your wifi is back too.

    thanks, to this blog.
