I currently have the following software versions on my Fascinate:
Firmware : 2.2.1
Baseband version - S:I500.04 V.EB01
Kernal 2.6.32.9
Build number - SCHI500.EB01
Will these versions block my ability to recieve OTA updates in the future?
Yes it will. You need to go back to eclair.

OK, I am one of those that knows just enough to be dangerous. So Eclair being 2.1 or EA28 or something else?

EA28 is the latest update of the stock 2.1 Eclair that came on your phone.
If you were to flash back to the stock OS/Software your phone would update itself via an Over The Air (OTA) update and you would end up with EA28.
EA28 could be updated to 2.2 (From Verizon) when it is officially available.
Hope that helps
There is a recent thread "How to restore OTA updatability" in the Q&A section and it explains what you need to do.

After installing Bionix 1.6 w/ JI6 i patch back the stock backup but the phone still showing T959UVJI6 in the baseband version....
in the phone information
is it normal? that meen that i have T959UVJI6 update?
Try and Odin back to Stock JI6, JI5, or even JFD. There are roms for all in the dev section.

That is normal, Bionix 1.6 is based on JI6.
Sorry about that, didn't quite understand your question. As Master has said for the reasons stated above you have the latest and greatest (unless you want to put Eugene's 2.2 on there).
So you flashed back to stock using Clockwork? Something's fishy here.
What do Firmware version, Kernel version, and Build number say?

i had the stock version rooted, i flashed with the Bionix 1.6 and then i used the Clockwork to bring the stoke backup....
and when i check it is showing:
Firmware version 2.1update1
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number ECLAIR
Baseband Version T959UVJI6
So just to make sure, when you hold down the Home button and it brings up the recent Apps menu does it have a Task Manager link at the bottom?

This is normal. Flashing back to stock will not change your kernel or baseband. Only using Odin to get back to stock will do that.

This. ^ Basically if you flash a new base band and than use a nandroid to go back to a different backup you will still be on the previously flashed base band because nandroid does not back up kernels or base bands. Only odin will get you back to a previous base band

Then you are NOT actually on JI6 and as the two previous posters have said, you are on the stock JFD, but with JI6 baseband. Sounds like you need Odin.
well apparently I got a notification for a update on my phone :/
build number I have at the moment: 2.0.2.A.0.24 (the first dual-touch kernel i believe?)
Baseband: 2.0.49...
could this update be the actual global generic .435 update?
I havent tried to update yet, as im using the Eternity 2.1 and it's not for the current build number :/
could it really have been that slow for me to get the .435 update around to me? xD
it's a bit strange, as I didn't think it was possible when you flash to a different build, to recieve the updates anymore? Or is this a update for Japan as i think that where the Dual-Touch kernal came from?
and another question...
is it safe to run this update or is SE gonna brick my phone with this? xD
Obviously since Eternity is nothing more but a very-very-very customized 2.1 ROM which relies on Stock Firmware it's only logical to me that it will notify you for new updates!
Of course if you update you will go back to Sony-crap UI and applications and stuff so don't do it!

No problem
Or you could just flash to 2.1 .435 and root it from flashtool 2.6. The new ROM is actually better and smoother, but it your choice
Yesterday i Got the same message.....Update available
Build No : 2.0.2.A.0.24
But after updating there is no change in build no...
It is same as before....Only thing is it re flashed...
.435 is the newest FW to my knowledge and Eternity is still running on the old firmware .24
The update is probably for the upgraded FW or just a random push for an update to some bug, who knows lol. I do know that jst about any time you update through SE you unroot your phone and more then likely will reinstall SE's ****ty UI.
I flashed the .435 FW and run Blue Sparks V5 wich is built on the .435 FW and it works great.
Just wondering if this is possible, I read that someone was on 8105 build and got the OTA update. I have upgraded to 1.7.0 but having issues and wanted to go to the offical 2.2. Can I just downgrade to 8105 and get the OTA. Does that work? Or is there a STOCK 2.2 rom i can install?
There's a thread on this already somewhere with all the instructions and links to download the official rom. I wish i knew the exact topic so I can link you to it.... goodluck!

I went from DJ_Steve's 1.70 straight to Stock 2.2 with no issues. I flashed the 309 stock Dell recovery via Fastboot and used the stock 318 Dell update package. Google these terms in XDA and you'll find the downloads and more detailed instructions
When I was on StreakDroid 1.6.1, I wanted to go back and compare to stock 2.2, so this is what I did:
QDL Tool to get back to build 305. Download 318 package, click on it. Done.
PS: http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg (this worked on my USA version of the AT&T Streak, for reference)
Is T959UVJFD the latest stock rom for Tmobile's Vibrant?
No, JFD is the stock rom Vibrant originally shipped with. It is Android 2.1
Since then Samsung has released two updates. JI6 and KB5. KB5 is 2.2.
I suggest reading the guides before you do anything. If your phone is completely stock you can download Samsung's Kies Mini onto your computer and upgrad to stock 2.2 via kies mini.
If you want something custom, check out the dev section but deffinately read the guides and ask lots of questions.

Thank you! I'll try Kies Mini and get it to KB5. My friend wants complete stock with root.

Make sure your friend doesn't have any roms installed or voodoo or anything like that before using kies mini.
also if you want root, you should look in the dev section for "stock kb5 deodexed and rooted"
Kies mini will update you to kb5, but it is not rooted.

I think Ka7 and Kb1 were leaks, nothing ever official. I might be wrong, I think the only official ones were JFD, JI6 and KB5. I may be wrong though.
Can these be installed via Rom Manager?

As far i can remember, ka6 was the first "official" froyo for the vibrant, it was available through kies (thought it was ka7, but now I remember clearly it was ka6) then another update through kies was kb5? Kb1 was a leak?
So 3 updates i guess

Not that it really matters but KB5 was official and released direct from Samsung via Kies Mini. It did not come OTA via T-mobile but it is the latest official non-leaked ROM direct from Samsung.
I have a rooted AT&T One and applied the 4.3 update as a ROM, like I've done previously and for the radio update a couple months. My wife has a stock One and got the OTA update. I notice that she has a later baseband version than me:
4T.20.3218.13_10.12.1718.01L
Mine is:
4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04L
Is baseband the radios? How can I update the baseband to the latest via a recovery flash? What file should I be searching the forums for?
Thanks,
Steve
