So I read about the update while at college. Came home, backed up my phone, and opened KIES to grab the update (I have used KIES previously for wired tethering, so everything was setup already.) Unfortunately, I got this message:
Model Name: SGH-T959
Current Version: PDA:JFD / PHONE:JFD
The device's version cannot be updated.
I called Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."
Beside the idiotic response of how KIES won't even work for my phone (yes I know it isn't "officially" released for USA phone but that doesn't mean it won't work...), it seems like Samsung has pulled the firmware update. Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch a bit early?
Okay, although Samsung has pulled the update from Kies, the update itself is still available from http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...T959TMBJI5_T959UVJI5_T959UVJI5_UV_TMB.zip.enc.
Download it and flash with Odin.
You really thought this deserved its own thread?
I went to publix and bought some eggs. Should I make a new thread?

You need to use Stuffit to unzip it first. Search for a program that unzips .enc files.

Old Kies vs. Upgraded Kies
I downgraded Kies to 1.5.1 (i believe) and upgrade magically appeared when running 1.5.3 no upgrade so I dont know if sammy pulled it or not. BTW I prefer egg beaters.
No this doesnt need a new thread, as almost everyone who tried the JI5 update said it was nothing special, and THERE ALREADY IS A THREAD FOR THIS UPDATE lol. The fact that Samsung pulled it also states something. If you want to flash a bad firmware, feel free this doesnt need to be here in its own thread.
I can imagine why, so many people.called samsung, maybe thats why it got removed

so I've been playing around with my aria for a couple of weeks and turned my nexus back on thats rooted and sure enough I have an ota update available for android 2.2, which I already have on the phone.. possibly stupid question, if I update will I lose my root even though I did it bootloader method?
and I thought custom roms even if its stock didn't get ota's

Thanks for the link, it helped me, too.
You guys preaching to search (which I'm not against), I just wanted to point out that you linked to an entirely different site. Thus, had the OP searched *this* site, by your own admission, he/she might not have found what he/she was looking for. Interesting...
My 2 cents here...I had a rooted nexus one froyo 83b WITH a custom recovery.. which supposes to block the frf91 update..n guess what it didn't..my nexus rebooted..it didn't even reboot to recovery it just did a soft reset n when I it back on it had frf91 with no root access..so I'm like wtf?? So I tried to reboot to the custom recovery and yes..you guys guessed with...it went back to the original recovery...

No sir, the update was officially released on the 10th, that page and how to was published late yesterday and I just got around to posting it.
I'll be installing later tonight after work
The Bell Vibrant is a GT-I9000m not a SGS-T959 and thus not compatible with our Vibrant.
Flashing this will be the same as flashing any GT-I9000 ROM. Your key mapping will be wrong and your GPS will not work.
Would this update/firmware work on US Vibrant? I'm asking because I'm curious you know they always said curiosity killed the big cat

Wonder if this will be the OTA? Hopefully we'll know soon.
IF this is the OTA, would loading it via ODIN be identical to getting it via OTA or would anything be missing/different?

I just connected my odin flashed KA6 leak vibrant to Mini kies and got "latest version" 11/01/19. Earlier this morning I got unregistered device in mini kies.
I am wondering if anyone has the original firmware for a rogers samsung gt-p1000r? Since hotfile got shut down, all the links have gone dead, I was hoping someone here had a copy still downloaded? Initially I would just load a rom(root it) , but I want it back to OEM before I do what I was going to with it...
Thanks for looking all.

For those of you wanting the recovery file for AT&T either because your phone has stopped working while rooting or just to keep yourself covered, here you go. Credit to @br3w3r as he spent a lot of time last night helping me get this done when my phone stopped working.
YOU MUST USE THE ODIN FILE LINKED HERE. ANY OTHER WILL NOT WORK.
Trying to use any other will result in a model mismatch failure.
Download the June firmware here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688242
Necessary version of Odin - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688248
Credit to @Venom0642 for the updated links!
Standard process. Open Odin, put your phone in download mode, select the firmware as AP, hit start and let Odin do it’s thing. Saved my bacon when I got stuck with an issue last night.
very much appreciated, i couldnt update due to being on a different carrier then at&t. Im still on the original firmware when the phone came out.

Yeah, my bank isn't fond of these types of payment methods either. And honestly, pulling out my phone is no easier than pulling out my wallet. And my wallet won't shatter if I drop it fumbling around. Either way, same amount of steps. It's a cool novelty but that's about it (to me personally). But if anyone does test it, I'll definitely update the post to say definitively one way or the other for those who love Samsung Pay.

I would wait for someone to post one specific to the 930A. This is for the 935A and as far as I know they're not interchangeable. So I would wait for a post on the 930A (which I'll do if I find firmware for one and someone verifies it works), or wait for someone to verify this worked on theirs.

I think he means after flashing back to this firmware. I have seen other users posting that it seems to result in Samsung Pay working but haven't seen anyone claiming to have actually used it. I'll update the OP once someone states they got it to function at a store after flashing back to stock.
So far, having root for certain disables it unless @sy7hf7tgtgrf found a method that no one else has yet.

Haven't tested at a store yet but will try to soon. I am on the stock firmware you uploaded so no root here.
I've noticed that somethings aren't fully working correctly though.
A lot of AT&T's modifications seem to be missing.
For one I can't really setup my Visual Voicemail now, and some sections in device settings are a bit different.
Pretty sure all is fine though.

It actually had the opposite effect for me funnily enough on VVM. I never was able to get it working after buying the phone and it was a pleasant surprise to find it working on this firmware. It had always given me an error about contacting AT&T because it seemed my plan didn't support it (though it did). Never followed up though as I very rarely use the phone for calls. Also was happy to see a toggle for LTE was added instead of having to dig in the settings to turn it on or off! All the stock AT&T apps seem to be there for me, though I'm not sure on the modifications. It's noticeably faster in Geekbench than it was the day I bought it, which leads me to believe maybe this is indeed stock, but before AT&T messed with it much. I hope you can get VVM working. But do keep us posted on the results of Samsung Pay in store!
