Yeah, I don't understand why so many people are having issues with kies...
Can't even get KIES to open. Getting a MainStage error and it just closes out.
U basically see the post at droiddog. Go the kies samsung site, dl it n do not click on update when it ask you. Then you connect your phone from "samsung kies." Then u should see an alert for firmware update. Tadaa
The gps is amazing now.

Kies isn't even released for the US market so this cannot be the official method of installing the update.

If it's been released via Kies, Samsung has done this on purpose. I had some issues with Kies but I ultimately got the update. The new Kies has some
I do see a difference in GPS functionality, it seems more accurate. Just give it some time though

Not only is the update no longer available, but I talked to Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."
Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch?
Not that switch!!! Nooooo!!!!!
even though it is pulled, hope it means that OTA is coming very very soon
My stock (but rooted) T-Mobile Vibrant just start getting an OTA! What could it be? Froyo perhaps? I'm undoing my lagfix just in case.
Did you get any previous updates before this? Because this just could be the ji6 ota, which is 2.1.

Wow~ I'm going to try it through Kies Mini.
Kies Mini stopped seeing my phone altogether after the last update. Windows just sees it as a dumb thumb drive (cause the drivers are installed, ofc).
But if someone who's phone works can post if Kies mini even tells them there's an update available that would be nice.
It usually gives the basebane of the update, and that can/would tell us what it is.

And of course Kies Mini chain crashing everytime I plug my phone in (Win7 32-Bit).
Well... Uninstalled again, lol.
The OP is suspiciously M.I.A., though...
EDIT: Kies Mini on XP 32-Bit says JI6 is the latest version. Cool tactic (starting the thread at 2am), though...
Everyone who wakes up will be running to this thread.
I searched twitter with no results.
Thus, op is not getting froyo.
There is a report of a user getting the 'DM arrows' over at the t-mobile forums. Not saying this is anything, but it could be. Or maybe not. But, then again...maybe.

When I came into my store yesterday our demo Vibrant had 'DM arrows' showing but had already been upgraded. I went ahead and "told it" to upgrade. Nothing changed.
The phone already had the upgraded market as well, so I don't know what's up with these showing up.
A short story
At home, I have this big ol' gang of dogs. They all want me to throw the tennis ball. One of the dogs is a little smarter than the others. He has learned from experience the throw might be a fake out. The rest of the dogs NEVER learn and always go running off after the phantom ball. The smart one just stands there waiting and continuing to watch. (Or maybe he checks his Twitter feed; I'm not 100% sure.)
When I really do throw the ball, he is the one who always gets to it first.
The moral of the story is: Keep an eye on the smarter dog.
(PS... I think that damn dog just hacked my credit card... unless one of you guys just sent me 800 pounds of cubed Kobe beef...)
Just Bricked my Phone
I got this DM update and said yes , install, reboot , etc... The install "failed" and rebooted. Now I can't get past the Vibrant screen and logcat basically shows me a kernel panic/fail and keeps repeating itself.
I had rooted my phone and had Ryan's OCLF installed and configured. Any ideas how to get back to stock firmware and try again ?
What version were you coming from? 2.1? If so I bet the kernel failed updating and 2.1 and 2.2 kernels are not compatible with each other.
Coming from 2.1 ... hoping I can push a stock firmware image to my sdcard and boot into recovery - searching for links in the forum but no luck yet
Engadget Confirmed it but for Canada not US
Samsung Vibrant and Fascinate get Froyo in Canada
I am about to faint here, they have finally posted the KF3 update on Kies! Plug your SGSII's into your PC and update!! Doing it now...Hopefully the camera focus during video recording is finally fixed!

Man, searched for my cable for like 10 minutes, connected, THERE IS the update available, but Kies says "recharge the phone" and does not let me proceed proceed with the update. It is end of day here on the east coast of the USA, phone is at 20% power. Gonna be one sleepless night for me

They released an update for Kies about two weeks ago. Are you using the latest version? Also, I don't know where you got your phone but some of the Expansys USA phones were from Eastern Europe if that makes a difference.
Because I'm anal, I rebuild my phone from a factory reset when I update it. It was kind of cluttered anyway. Since I've got to go through the whole setup process I'll post any changes to apps and such as I'm slogging through it.
I know this has to have been covered in the past, but I'm struggling to understand it. I know if I update through Kies, I'll lose root. Is there a way to download this kernel and push it through Odin and not lose root? Sorry to rehash this again. Thanks.

Actually how can you tell if it's UK or Eastern Europe? All my instructions came in English and both the device and manual use british english. Anyway just plugged in again and said I had latest which was KE7/KE4

When you plug it in Kies it should tell you what version your phone is in brackets at the end of the firmware version. Mine is (XEU)

The box would have been in Polish and when you turned the phone on it would have been set to Polish too. From what you described, you've got a UK phone. It's odd though, that Keis sees your phone's firmware but doesn't offer an upgrade.

I forgot to boot my mac into bootcamp. Kies for Mac is beta and hence does not offer firmware upgrade, only the PC version does.

I have the polish version also, and Kies has KF2 as the latest firmware. I tried it twice, but I had lots of problems with data and voice connection on Rogers in Canada. I hope the KF3 will fix this problem, when it is available.
Isn't kf2 much recent build than kf3? Wondering what is the advantage of updating to an older build.

Hello, I am currently on build number 2.1.1.A.0.6. I connected my phone to pc companion today and it notified me of a update! Anyone wanna take the plunge and let me know
can't you just backup you current settings on xrecovery and try the update yourself and report here?
it might be the 2.1.1.B update that'll make you go to baseband 6X.
Definitely not the GB update.
fake, i think.
just one day passed after ptcrb check. cant be the new fw available.
besides, se said 2.3 wont bi available for branded prones, generic only.
it may happen after you use the custom kernel
once i freshly flashed the .b.1 firmware
and i used Z`s kernel
the next day my phone come with a message that there`s a software update for me and can only be processed by pcc or us
i was really happy cause i think its the GB
but when i connect my phone with my pc
it says the new firm ware 2.1.b.0.1 can be used ...
its really funny
Phone is bootlooping, I will look for gingerbread on SEUS

No thats some #%@#$.... They never said it won't be available for branded phones, it will maybe not be available... In the Netherlands all branded phones will get the update Hi, Vodafone, KPN, MTV Mobile etc... all big providers... There is a good chance that some branded phones in other countries will also get the update And yes, SE NL confirmed it...

Sure it can be a new firmware.
It might be the 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware.
And all major Swedish carriers (3, Telenor, Telia) also confirmed Gingerbread update for their branded X10's.
So the old statement that Sony Ericsson said about, only generic kits would get the update has been debunked by many carriers around the globe.
have any rogers customers updated to this yet.
Just curious as to what the baseband is
rogers from what ive spoken to them about they wont have any update from 2.1 > 2.3. and it seems they have no plans in doing so. unless they change their minds which they'll have to work too hard to put all their crap in on an "outdated" device to them, which they wont.
I am on Rogers and have an umodded phone running 2.1.1.A.0.6. It says I am running the latest software in both SEUS and the PC Compansion software so I don't seem to be getting this new update you speak of.
ya, with rogers as well... if u speak to one of their service reps or tech support any information they give you regarding an update to Gingerbread I would take as hear-say since they just dont know... you'd need to speak to someone working quite a bit higher up to get a real answer.
I just debranded my x10 yesterday to a generic, running the latest updates, waiting for Gingerbread to come out now so I can update to that.

I'm a Rogers client, just plugged my phone in to check this and there's no update available for my x10.
At the Rogers SE Play launch party in Toronto I was told that GB would be available to us by now, although I wasn't supposed to say anything about it outside of that party.

Hi,
I think we should all tweet https://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileUS for gingerbread update for vibrant.
If we all do it then they will be flooded with tweets and it will be hard for their support staff to work properly on twitter .
Tweet atleast once.
Thanks
Are you serious?
Go mess with T-mobile not Samsung.
They dont pay for support, they dont get one.
You know about kies mini right?

Why would we bug T-mobile when the last update to KB5 came directly from Samsung through Kies Mini? The carrier wasn't involved at all.

Wrong, the carrier has to request that an update be made, and T-Mobile requested that kb5 be released, but T-Mobile doesn't like doing ota for the vibrant. So the did kies mini, and T-Mobile requested kies mini be made.

If Samsung is so much in favour of us then why don't they use intentional build leak method.... and when T mobile cry they can always say they never released anything...It is SAMSUNG fault for sure.
Bug them
samsung galaxy s has gingerbread all europe and almost all over the world except usa/north america. Even galaxy mini get gingerbread this days....so....i think t-mo is the problem.

No it isnt, they have updated the SGS outside the US in a very timely manner, the problem is that the carrier controls updates to their device here in the US and must request and pay Samsung for one, Regardless of delivery method it is Tmobile who controls it. Why would Samsung waste time & money on making an unofficial update for the vibrant? If Tmobile doesnt want it they have better things to do with their time that will make them more money, hence no leaks. The other carriers I am assuming have already paid for their updates, hence the leaks. Now whether or not those updates are released officially are up to the carrier once again, either via OTA or otherwise.

Again, why did Samsung release KB5 through Samsung Kies then? T-Mobile themselves on their forum has said they have nothing to do with kB5, it is completely optional and up to the customer to apply via Samsung Kies and not through T-Mobile

Again, you're missing the point. T-Mobile requested the update, but refuse to do an ota for it (hence it being optional). If T-Mobile hadn't requested kb5 be made/released, we wouldn't have gotten it. Period.
Tmobule HAS t request the update, then T-Mobile gets to decide when the update goes live into the public's hands.
And kies mini? That WAS created because of T-Mobile. The ota for ji6 failed so miserably, they needed a better way to release the update and also keep liability for breakage off of T-Mobile.

It's not so much an argument as making sure someone knows the company to properly blame. I love Tmobile but truth be told they are terrible with updates. Not to say the other carriers are much better, I just wish we had less carrier BS in the states and actually got updates like the rest if the world =/
