[VIBRANT FROYO] The official update thread
Froyo for the Vibrant is supposed to start pushing out today. Presumably the initial batch will be pretty small. If you get it, sound off here! If you don't have it yet, keep yer trap shut.
Oh, and a reminder that where you live/are has nothing to do with when you get the update.

Got mine this morning through keis mini! Dunno if it's on OTA - and yes - it is KA6 - which is weird because KA7 just leaked out - but what the hell...

Ok so im assuming then that i am doing the process wrong by going through settings>software update to check for the update?
Cause every time I choose the option it keeps saying 'No Firmware"
Do I need to use this Kies thing to do the update?
And is it an app for the device or a program for a computer? - 01-21-2011, 12:49 PM #10 I think going through to phone to search for updates is for OTA updates, and so from what i read its only available through kies at the moment.

Then Kies will read your phone, tell you theres an update and you can choose to update or not. - 01-21-2011, 12:50 PM #11
I see, thank you very much for your help, it'll be a while until i get access to a computer that i can make this happen with. Was hoping that it would be done directly through the device, but i guess not.
If anyone knows of a way to do it straight through the device, please let me know. - 01-21-2011, 01:35 PM #12

- 01-21-2011, 01:49 PM #14 All of the Samsung Froyo updates here in Canada went through Kies. The diffrence here is that I don't have to be personally notified that there is an update. Samsung just posted on their website that froyo is available for all of Telus users( they then announced that Froyo is avaible for Bell "" Rogers ""). All I did was to open kies and plug in my phone-installed the 2.2. Originally Posted by Mobius360

Kies is tempermental - try reconnecting the device. Also, make sure that you have the option set under "what would you like to do under USB connect" to "choose" so you can pick the "Keis" option there - I had to connect and reconnect several times this morning to get it to recognize my phone.
End conclusion - Keis is Cancer

- 01-21-2011, 02:30 PM #22 Phil are you on a windows 64 bit computer? If you have a 32 bit pc-use that one instead, kies should run better. Plus don't forget the drivers. Originally Posted by Phil Nickinson

It sees the phone just fine. Problem is it sees it as an "unrecognized device." Originally Posted by Ronindan
