i would like to kno how to get the ota update! cuz i havent received it =/
i know how! yay
to the guy above me,
this is how..
its not OTA.
i had KIES, you need kies MINI.
download kies mini, it'll download like 6 drivers for your phone, and when you connect it'll install it, and it should connect and tell you theres a upgrade, mine just did and i got it

I'm having a problem trying to use Kies Mini. First off I tried opening it up as administrator and without administrator privileges, I have Windows 7 64 bit running on my laptop, and every time I try it the program will start up and as soon as it recognizes my phone a box pops up saying {MiniApplication Has Stopped Working Close Program} I tried doing a factory reset and it still does it. I tried disabling my Anti-Virus and Firewall also. I used it to update to J16 and it worked fine for me then, but soon after that it started doing it. I have the latest version of Kies Mini. It started doing it even before it updated to the new version. I have the JK6 ROM on my phone now, but if I decide to go back to JDF I won't be able to use it to get back to J16. My phone is completely stock except for the JK6 ROM, I'm using Touchwiz. I don't have regular Kies on my laptop at all either. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I'm kind of a Noob to all of this and I don't want to do anything that will **** my phone up. Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me with this. Please.

I'm running JI6 which I got through Kies mini 2 months ago.
Now, I just clicked the KMini icon on my laptop and it says it's D/Ling a new version.
The old version was1.0.0.? something something? ...95
this new version is : 1.0.0.10104_1
What is up with this? Does this mean there is an update to my Vibrant or to the kies software itself? It says to plug in my phone but I'm hoping for advice first.
What happens if I do plug it in?
Thanks guys.
That was simply an update to Kies Mini and it could mean anything from a bug fix in the Kies software to getting it ready for pushing new updates. I noticed this update a little while before JK6 was leaked.

Where did you download kies mini from. When I go to samsungs site to download kies mini, it asks which model number vibrant I have, there are like 4 vibrant models to choose from. What do we in USA on T-Mobile use?
its not that new, been there for at least 45 days
Okay, thanks guys. Any idea what happens if I plug my phone into it again? Like, how big will the explosion be?

SV, I linked to it from here at XDA. I think it was in the Tips & Tricks sticky. It worked great for me. (This was after the OTA update wiped me out & I went & got a new phone...) But now, I don't see it there anymore. I have both kies and kies mini. They both worked fine for me; mini for the JI6 and regular kies for all kinds of other stuff.
Here's the link to the big kies I used if anyone wants it...

It seemed to work well. But the xda thread said to uninstall it before installing mini, so I did. Might reinstall... Big program though...
I've have to US T-Mo Vibrant, and never received an OTA update. Any way to force update. I can't get Kies Mini to recognize my phone. Even after USB debugging. Ideas? Still running JFD in both.
Have you tried manually installing the USB drivers and using Odin?

Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed and yes you can force the update manually by using ODIN.
Let me know if you need help finding the drivers. or updating the rom.
Kies only works with stock launcher .if your using a custom launcher it wont work..

I never used kies but Odin is painless.

There is a few post in development that contain the "official" T-Mo update. As far as Kies goes, my educated guess is you do not have the Samsung drivers installed. Also in the Development section is the "bible" that is pretty curent, it's basically has all the info you will need. Ji6 update, Odin, instructions, proper drivers ect... a MUST read for all newcomers IMHO.
Help you out:

Post back if you need anything else.
make sure you go to the usb settings in your phone and select kies mode and you need to be using touchwiz in order for it to work

I was on the same boat as you. Never got an OTA update. Contacted tmobile online and said to use my sim card in a different phone and make like a 2-3 min call. After that, put it back in your Vibrant and should notify you in 24-48 hrs. That didn't work so I spoke to a different rep and sent me to a Kies site (even though the first rep said it wasn't recommended). I just used Kies Mini.
What step are you stuck at? I got it working through Kies Mini, but it took a lot of trial and error. Did you take out your micro sdcard before plugging in? Read the small print at bottom of the Kies Mini Guide if your phone doesn't recognize on your pc.
im using windows 7 it keeps on telling me that i need usb drivers. When i go to the samesung website to download the kies for windows 7 pack w/drivers, it sais that they are not the right ones, it sais that they are not the right drivers
There are a bunch of driver links actually posted here in these forums. Use the search for AIO toolbox I think - there was a link for drivers there.
Samsung drivers should work fine??
are u using kies or kies mini
the regular kies is for European phones
the tmobile vibrant needs kies mini
i have windows 7 too and once i installed kies mini my drivers were fine
Kies Mini Download; http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...24222256530/Kies_Mini_For_Vibrant_11011_4.exe
Download, install, and you should be good. Since like the above poster said, you may not be using the appropriate Kies version...

No no kies stop dont!!!!!!
REPEAT REPEAT DONT USE KIES, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!!
IM DEAD SERIOUS, MANY A VIBRANT HAVE BEEN BRICKED USING KIES UPGRADE INCLUDING MY FIRST VIBRANT!!!!
JUST DONT DO IT, VERY VERY DANGEROUS!!
^ He (the OP) only wants to install Kies to obtain working drivers, not to upgrade with it. At least I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

That doesnt make much sence.
You can find the windows drivers right here in the stickies or just look around alittle bit in the developement tab and you will find them.
Edit:Lol i just went to the stickies in dev. And the drivers jumped right out at me in about 2 seconds after i posted this....and you can thank bay_wolf for that
I hear ya.
Also I am not sure why so many people don't use the Toolbox. I mean it has Odin, the Pit/Tar files, the drivers, even simple read along instructions. Whe i first came here, that was what so many suggested and now it seems like a forgotten, albeit still extremely useful, relic.
Shortbus, I even think you were one of the ones who told me to use it.
Dont ever use kies. It was made by kindergarden programmers. Worst program ive ever used.

hi, I have an x10 mini pro, i've been used to flash custom roms on it and if something goes wrong i was always capable of moving back to froyo using pc companion's repair option, but i've been trying today to go back to froyo because a friend of mine bought the cell to me but she doesn't like Cyanogen mod cause it has bugs, so i plugged the phone to pc companion but it doesn't connect my phone, when i press support zone it doens't recognize the device, if i press how to connect a popup comes out, i follow instructions but the "final" option is to update pc companion, but i have the latest version. and that's it, how can i go back to froyo? im currently on gingerDx v021b.
does anyone has the files for flashtool or guide me on how to go back? thanks

You mean eclair, not froyo
I think you have to go into update phone or something in pc companion then do it from there, it doesn't matter if it recognizes the phone.
If that fails you'll have to use SEUS or flashtool, I'll try finding the files for you
I haven't used PC Companion in a while so I can't give you much advice

No luck in finding the files so far but you could follow the guide here and make your own ftf file specific to your operator and country - that will work best aside from PC Companion

i'm gonna try, i think latest pc companio (2.1) doesn't have the repair option, cause i remember with older ones i was able to choose repair even with my phone unplugged...
something else, when i open seus, a loading bar apears "checking for updates", but it never gets to the end, just half way and a popup appears: "AN ERROR OCURRED, APPLICATION WILL CLOSE". and it closes... can you help?

Hmm, no I can't seem to. try running it with admin privileges and maybe XP compatibility mode if you're on vista or 7
