Hi Guys, can you please help me updating my Samsung Fascinate Verizon phone, it's currently running @

Firmware version : 2.1-update1
Basband version : S:i500.04 V.EA28
Kernel version: 2.6.29

I really need help badly, since i'm not located in US, and everytime i try to update it, it says Check for software update when service is available.
but i can't get the service since it's a verizon phone and im not in use, and it's not activated anymore, i'm just bypassing the activation screen by pressing *83786633..

Please help me update the phone w/ the complete instruction, i want to have at least 2.2, so that many apps would work cause lot of apps work w/ 2.2 or higher.

Please someone help me, i really don't know what to do and i'm having a hard time understanding the forum post since im not that aware w/ the abbrivation thats being used.

Help me please.

Thanks a lot.

**if you are willing to help me "mam,sir"

i will surely appreciate your help and i will never forget it.. please help me tnx. anyone please.

Is that number you said you are using to bypass the activation correct? When I try putting it in, it says the number must be 10 digits.
