I have a friend that has given me the samsung vibrant tmobile for upgrade.
i dont want to root the phone, but want to use odin to upgrade to the latest out there
can someone point to the best latest gingerbread or whatever rom that is flashble with odin
Thanks
I only know for sure about the JFD file. There have been postings about a leaked Gingerbread rom, often in the context of people bricking their phone with it.
Whichever is stable I will use Odin to flash. If not gingerbread than froyo will do. Which is latest stable.

There is no gingerbread update for vibrant. Use kies to flash froyo. But I highly recommend rooting your phone and flashing ics.
I did a little research, and you can find out about some stock roms by entering t959uv in a search and looking at the suggestions, such as ka7, kb5.
+1 on the ICS suggestion. Any stock rom will have Carrier IQ and who knows what else hidden in it.

Hi,

HOW TO UPGRADE AND WHAT IS BEST FIRMWARE TO UPgrade ? will upgrading lock my phone? is there any way to unlock it except fake imei?
Just flash a custom rom that has 2.2 on it
No need to use Kies to upgrade.
You can either upgrade with ODIN (if you really really want the official KA6 release, read more about it, there are plenty of guides).
Or you can just install ROM Manager, flash Clockwork recovery and install a custom ROM right from 2.1. There are also guides on how to do this.

sHOULD I install KA6 OR KB1 ? and can i use AIO VIBRANT TOOLBOX ?
I think the toolbox is the easiest way for a noob to get started, especially with ODIN. Try reading the stickies at the top of the general, Q&A and development sections and all your questions will be answered.
I'm new to this rom stuff guys i read around and still can't seem to find the answer...
since the Vibrant stock fw is 2.1-Update 1
DO i have to download a rom that's 2.1?
or can i just go to 2.2.1 or 2.2?
so your on 2.1update-1 thing?
and want to get a 2.2 or 2.2.1?
Just root your phone, get rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, then flash roms. there's guides on this, their stickied.
Find em' im on phone
what I'm trying to say is do i need to be on firmware 2.2 to run roms 2.2 etc.
No. Root/rom manager/clockwork/pick your rom/flash per devs instructions. Literally that simple and almost as fast as you reading this.
The rom will wipe and flash over any existing firmware you have no matter what.
Oh ok thanks <3!
hi i used to have a captivate version and each time i wanted to return to stock there was a odin software that could do the job for me...
now i have the vibrant and i was wondering if there is a similar odin software that would factory reset my phone to stock 2.1 or 2.2
if not, would you please show me the most up to date method for going back to stock?
im running MIUI at the moment
thank you
Pretty much the same basic method. Just using different firmware.

10 posts down in this same catagory is the answer to what you cant seem to find :-/
Lol i see im late on that reply...
I'm fairly new when it comes to flashing ROM's and what not, and in October I made the mistake of flashing to the "official" release of 2.3.3 for a Rogers captivate (not through KIES). I wish to go back to 2.2, so that I can use 2.2 ROM's. I am, however, sceptical of the procedure of flashing back. Could anyone here direct me to a video, a tutorial, or tell me how exactly I would do this?
Thank you,
Balls.
