New Kies mini is here. It shows that JI6 is still the current version. For about 5 minutes my hopes were high just to crush hard.
Theres a discussion on the 2. 2 update that comes from the new kies mini at t-mobile forums.

I'm at work now but I loaded up Kies on my home VM, but you need the damn phone to check for updates, lame. Hopefully it's real. It would make whoever said that the update would be pushed on the 22/21. We'll see.
Yeah i opened Kies Mini 3 times before it updated to the latest version. I havn't plugged my phone in yet because i have my phone rooted with a custom rom so i aint trying to mess nothing up. Im just waiting on that guy to see if he posts them pics. Itll be cool if its true but we'll see.
I've checked it with my phone, no update, and been calling BS in the thread over there.

I'm running JI6 and removed my root and found no update.
I updated Mini Kies but bet it's just a precursor is all. Takes him "10 minutes" to post a screenshot with Build and other info. That sounds like a winner..

I would of been ok if he could of typed the build info I asked for. because I'm guessing he doesn't know how the build sequence works and would of botched it up saying it's build JH7 or something else that wouldn't be right.
That Dudes known for lying though, so it wouldnt be too surprising that he would be lying again. And your right it shouldn't be too hard to look at the build number and kernel and just type it if her weren't lying.

When he replies with the build of the Kies program, he's a moron.
You "I hate kids" haha, love it.
Yep and all of the computer problems and unable to post pics. As I said with his last thread about Froyo being out Ban him but one of the useless mods over there said no rules were broken.
Should we all click the report button on his first post?
I don't like the mods there. They don't accept criticism to others, and they never find nothing wrong with stupid posts like "ZOMG FROYO!!!!!". It's stupid.
He Lied like Always. Whatever then.
yea.. wow.
Anyways, at least we know that Kies was updated, hopefully this means that Froyo COULD be around the corner. Or like someone else said that it might just be an update to their already ****ty software.
that was me that said just to update their ****ty software. On Twitter they said we will have an update by the end of the year.
I read that thread for a minute. Seems he tried to say that he was running Froyo/JI6. Some people will do anything for attention. Oh hey BTW look at me.......

Sorry but I am skeptical about this OTA. So I'd like to start a poll on who has actually been prompted and/or received it.
what are you skeptical about ? it existing ?
what would make you skeptical of this ?

The fact that only 1 person has received it.
I haven't gotten it, but I'm not sure I'd even see it since I renamed otacerts just in case they did this.
I guess I'll wait a little longer to be skeptical...considering only 1 person on THIS forum says they recieved it. That doesn't mean only 1 person recieved it.
Plus, with all the users here running custom roms already, how many of us are even going to see it pushed to thier phones ? I know it won't come up on mine at all because of that.
We'll see...maybe it's real, maybe it's not but I think it may be a little early to think otherwise.

Not really. For about 5 days the only guy that had received the first OTA update was a writer at Phandroid. It eventually got pushed out to everyone.
So what is the motivation for photoshoping the screen shot?

I think the OP is just trying to see if anyone else gets it. If someone does get it and doesn't have clockworkmod recovery, be sure to logcat so we can get the file.
If you have clockwork recovery you should be able to accept the update, because cwm won't flash it but the update will stay on your sdcard.
if any of you want, ill be more than happy to demo the damn thing with a damn webcam as proof the screenshot isnt photoshoped.
I don't know if anyone seen this but Verizon tweeted something earlier today too about sharing your data connection....it seems to fit the update giving WiFi hotspot. I could be a dummy but I believe the guy. Hopefully more people will see it soon.

You can't guarantee anything. I know this because you don't even know how the process works.
1st Step: Samsung completes update to be released.
2nd Step: T-Mobile checks it out, makes changes.
3rd Step: Over the air update.
Also check it out, if it goes on that website, it will be here, and you can flash it yourself.

It's so easy to flash? Eh whatever.
T-Mobile has probably already been working with Samsung, so that shouldn't take much time at all. For T-Mobile to roll out the updates (to everyone) will take probably around a week or so. (I don't know why they would delay unless they need to make changes.) Like say they start Monday, some people will receive Monday, Tuesday, etc, until everyone has it.
And yea, I'm not sure if samsungfirmwares.com is an "official" site. In fact I'm pretty sure it isn't. However, a stock rom for 2.1 wandered it's way onto their before, and I mean, the rom before t-mobile even put their hands on it. So who knows.
I say to everyone. Hope for this to be real, BUT! don't expect it.

But unless you're working in samsung's mobile division and actually have a clue, I say good day to you sir, and stop being the pessimist of the forum.
flameinthefire is just upset because he's been having a lot of problems with his Vibrant with battery and all that since he has made so many threads about his problems in the General forum.
Even if there is a OTA, you can manually push that update without waiting for the OTA as long as someone has the link for it. Just put it onto the root of your sdcard, rename to update.zip then boot into recovery and Reinstall Packages. Good to hear about this though, I'll stick to my idea by saying "I'll believe it when I see it" so I won't be disappointed if this is false. I'm hoping that it is true, but we all hoped the same about CM6 when that thread was made back in July because Gunnerman decided to post a thread about it to get people anticipated for it. (Not blaming anyone but it causes a panic in the community)

It is not even close to being an official site.
Samsung would never purchase such a domain name to use, and even use WordPress on top of that especially with a free, ugly theme.
I already knew this begin with weeks ago when this site started getting mentioned on here, but if this site were official. I would think that there would of been more 2.2 news and release dates to come with those news too. Like I said, if it were to have been official. Which I am not saying it ever would of been with such a domain name, and using WordPress.
One more thing to note, Samsung would also never create a site at Google Blogspot/Blogger. They seem to have actually hosting somewhere else now though (they did not weeks ago).

Hold down on volume. (Keep holding this until you get to download mode.)
Plug in USB and tap power button for a couple seconds.

FYI, I'm a T-Mobile employee and just received a mass email from my DM who was emailed from our Samsung Senior Territory Manager about the maintenance fix for the Vibrant. It's scheduled to roll out on the 20th.
As most know, there is an update coming to fix numerous issues effecting GPS, Google maps, Outlook, lagging and freezing, etc. This will be that update.

I wonder if the leaked Rom floating around on Samsungs website is the fixed Rom?
If thats the case then its a patch fix and no mention of 2.2 huh?

I bet it is, just a quick patch. 2.2 will be mid next month I'm guessing. I bet the leaked rom is it, or very close too.....
And as a reminder to everyone, just because you pick up your phone in the morning and you have a nice dialog stating that tmo wants to push you an update, don't get excited yet. Don't install it until you have read from the devs here that it safe to do so. Remember, with the G1, some of the later updates made it harder to root and whatnot. The devs here will have answers very quickly (often within hours), so here is one place where you do NOT want to be the very first person with the update.
I'm just sayin'
Skip
smashpunks: where do you come up with such a guess? nothing indicates they have/havent started with the update, how far along they are, if they ironed the bugs, or anything. lol people like you are funny.
mrgibbage: you cant stop that, if and when an update is released, who knows if it will break root. if it does people will flash and an influx of "how do i root ota" will begin. even with a sticky readin "no root for ota"
The way it worked on the G1, was sure, the update was released. But not everyone "gets it" at the same time. You would get a notice on your phone that a new update was ready to install. But you did not have to install it. You could cancel it (or maybe you had to reboot your phone). In any case, you do not have to take the update when they push it.
Maybe things are different on this phone, but it seems to me it would be a safety hazard if they "forced" you to update when they say. Think how much it would suck if you needed to call 911, and you go to grab your phone and it said "standby while we take control of your phone for the next fifteen minutes".
I'm not worried about it. 89% chance of it being the one we have leaked out now which roots the same exact way. I don't know why people refuse to flash it if they can. It's really good and I don't feel the slightest need to work my nerves with something that doesn't work right like most or nearly all of the roms in the development section. Stock+Root+Bloatware apps removed=waytogo.

Nice to have a date. Given the proximity of the release, I agree that there's a good chance that the leaked rom is exactly the same update that's going to be pushed.
I'll be happy as long as it gets fixed by December 12th, 2012.

Hi everyone, first time posting!
I just received a notification that T-Mobile has an update for my Vibrant. Did anyone else get this? Could this be the GPS fix everyone's been talking about? I'm installing it right now!
I tried to manually update it but I got the same old message "no firmware! "
It didn't end up going so great... It hanged on the Vibrant screen after the update. Doing a nandroid restore right now.
Lol. Really?
My first post so here it goes.
I just finished downloading the update and its not 2.2. I have noticed a few slight changes though. First being that websites seem to open faster and scroll smoother, it could just be me though. The menu that is brought up when you are using the browser is different and has a brightness control on it.
There is a new HD camcorder application and a task manager application. I have only had it running for a couple minutes. In not sure if there is a gps fix cause I'm in my basement so it its rare for me to get any signal down here.
I also just found out youtube videos have a HQ button on them now.
Just checked with mine and I get the "no firmware" as well.
looks like JI6 then?
So how do theses OTA updates work? Does everyone get it at the same time or does it update few people at a time? Anyone know?
Will I get any update if my phone is rooted and has lag fix installed?

This seems legit. People on both Android Forums and T-Mobile Forums are reporting the update. Can't be a troll
I'm already on JI6 so it's all good!
GPS has been OK with this version, over WiFi it's really not going to work well for some reason. Jumps around all over the place.
Tracking has been reliable overall. Using it with the Root Wireless app to track my network coverage it was very quick to lock in.
Samsung posted this on Facebook as well.
The Gallery is still problematic.
Reception has been EXCELLENT, overall if this is what we would have gotten back in July people would have been much happier.

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.

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
