Help Not on SPRINT, can't use KIES, how do I get froyo?

I have an epic 4g but it's not on sprint, I am on Iusacell, another carrier in another country, it is a sprint phone of course, has the sprint logo and apps all over the place, only it's not..

I also can't use kies, so I dont know if I will be able to get froyo over the air once it officialy comes out, I did get a few updates from sprint, like the recent voice to text or whatever that was, which was useless for me as my carrier doesnt provide that service, also when I got the phone, like 4 or 5 weeks ago, when i first turned it on, it prompted me to do a few upgrades as well.

Does this mean I will be geting froyo this way? I am not sure how sprint handles the upgrading process, is it done via their network? or via the internet? or is it samsung and not sprint who take care of it?

In the worst case scenario that I am not able to upgrade over the air, is there an easy alternative? Like downloading the new rom onto the sd card or something like that?

Thanks!
 
Ok, I will look into that, thanks!

by the way, why do my posts keep geting moved to another forum? they are Epic 4G related!
 
Iusacell?
Are you currently in Mexico?
If you happen to be in the U.S when the rollout begins, you'll probably be able to update via the Sprint signal since its an official sprint phone.
 
Someone at xda will create an update.zip for it. Copy to the root directory of your SDcovery card, put the phone in recovery and apply the update, after a factory reset of course.
