Recently I have installed Android 2.2 (Froyo) on my old Samsung Galaxy 5 (I5503) phone. Officially, Samsung doesn’t provide this update here in India. Here is how you can do it.
1. First of all download the Froyo 2.2 firmware, ODIN Downloader and OPS file from the links given below.
2. Connect your phone and make a complete backup incase anything goes wrong.
3. Factory reset Galaxy 5 by entering *#*#7780#*#* in the dial pad.
4. Extract the files from the archive downloaded above and fire up ODIN Multi downloader.
5. Select Images and the OPS file and check Auto Reboot and Protect OPS as shown in the image below.
6. Close ODIN and disconnect the phone from USB. Power off the phone and remove the battery.
7. Reinsert The Battery and Press the following buttons together VOLUME DOWN + CENTER HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON (END CALL). A downloading screen will popup.
8. Connect the phone with your PC using the original Data Cable and wait for Windows to install the drivers.
9. Fire up ODIN and make sure the settings are same as before. Your phone will now show up connected in COM Port.
10. Now press Start from ODIN and wait for the flashing to begin. Galaxy 5 will reboot once it is done and you will have Android 2.2 running on it.
Kindly reset your Galaxy 5 using Step 3, if anything doesn’t works well after the upgrade.
