How Can I update My boost SPH-m930 (Samsung Transform™ Ultra) Mobile Device to the Latest Official Android OS Updates / software update without activating it? The software / build number: gingerbread.eg29. The current software version is FC29 launched 5/9/2012. The usual is updating it "over the air" but i can't do that if the phone is not activated. I had the wifi running, but it seems that the software update doesn't go thru wifi or internet. So please help me on this.... thank you.

Not a problem. If I can help in any way let me know.
i guess i really need help on this. my phone have a 2.3.4 version android. i see some threads talked about the 2.4.6 version. they said to easily update my phone's software over wifi is to have this version, but i can't find anywhere on how to update this too. i just wanna update the phone to the latest software, everytime i tried to update it, it just say that the software is currently up to date, please help me on this. i tried the link you gave me, but the process kept on stopping in the middle of the it. i might burn my phone if i keep on doing it... or am i just dum? hahaha

I could be wrong and will see if I can find out but I don't think you will get the update with out activating the phone.
Boost is who pushes the update and you wouldn't be in the system. Never heard of any where Boost releases their updates for download.
The phone carriers are the only ones who care if you root your phone. So if you are not going to activate it the only harm is the risk involved with rooting.
If you are woried about it being
rooted all the time, you could root your phone change the base band, update the phone with one of the stock 2.3.6 roms and Then remove root. You would be up to date and still stock.
I will warn you that it is addictive. Once you learn how to root and flash these custom roms, themes and mods look tempting.

Oh yes it is, very addictive. I have just about modded my phone to the gills. Don't know how much more can be done with this phone. But I will always try more.
