Samsung pulled the latest update (that was available via KIES)?

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?

Thanks. This is helpful if it works. It didn't work for my via kies so odin should work for me if its a tar file. And whoever asked did this deserve its own thread, id say yes because it obviously helped me out. Thank you

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

Thanks for posting. This did need a new thread. Ignore the want to be forum police for they obviously have a miserable existence.

How would I flash that file if i have a Mac?

This did need a new THREAD

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

Froyo

Where can I find the safest and newest version of Android 2.2 Froyo for Samsung Captivate?
Sorry, I am new to Android and don't know much so any pointers and directions would be great! Thanks in advance!

Post goes into Question & Answers section. If your looking for a good rom with a captivate base go with Cognition or JJ4 optimized.

Don't be so impatient. Just wait for the release. They said end of November, so that only 11 months.

Yup agreed with everyone they are all leaked. But if you want to find the closests one to stock ATT, then find the One-Click JI6 Odin by DesignGears. That is as close to stock as it gets.

LMAO So true its funny.

I did and update on my phone today and it said there was an update available. Whenever it tries to install it, it fails at 50%. Is that supposed to be 2.2 or is that just a baseband update?

Installing lagfix?

Hello, i have one piece I9000 running on 2.1 and flashed it with ODIN to 2.1 JPJG8. I now want to install lagfix on it. Can someone instruct me how to do it?

what type of lagfix do u want ? there is a simple one called 'one click lag fix' (OCLF) available in market. or there is voodoo or speedmod.. have a look in the android development section you will see them all in there

Which one to you recommend, im running on 2.1 version JPJG8? ALso, give me link...thank you.

Well checked the site you recommended and found OCLF ok...I wish to install Stock ROM using ODIN. After that can i just root the phone and then install lagfix?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 - this is speedmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823300 - this is voodoo
i use speedmod but i am not saying that is the best one, i have also used voodoo, they are similar but it all boils down to personal choice there is no best / worst
also read through the whole thread before going ahead with it, make sure its compatible with your device and make sure you know how to recover if something goes wrong.

Ok, thanks for the info bro...i'll check out your link

Lol, even I've forgotten mine because I bought it from Orange....I think all the 2.2.1 works...mine is I9000XXJPU(I've tried to flash I9000XXJPY, but failed )anyway, no need to recall back your original firmware, just take any 2.2.1 firmwares and flash it...but be careful, because there are possibilities to brick your SGS even though the risk is small....

Can you recommend any 2.2 european firmware i can flash with? I dont want 2.2.1 since i think its risky.

[Q] Froyo (2.2) original ROM for Captivate

Hello,
I live in Georgia and have rooted, unlocked AT&T Captivate (ECLAIR 2.1 update1), so when I push the update button the loading bar just cycles for hours and never does anything (because AT&T is not available for my country).
So I was wondering if someone could give the original froyo ROM for captivate. I just want to upgrade my software, nothing more.
Some advice would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gio

Here you go: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
But this is not a direct update, so you will lose your settings + apps unless if you back it up beforehand.

Thank you very much you seem to be answering every single question I have )

Is that flashable via ODIN, recovery mode, or some other way?

I'm just trying to do it ATM..
How do I use it again?

if not, its easily bypassed by using i9000 kernel + modem. JI6 will affect him the same way though.

When he said he's in Georgia, he didn't mean the U.S. state. Think Ukraine.

I wasn't sure if there was an original 2.2 original stock out as a ONE-CLICK.

Yes, I didn't mean the state, and NO Georgia is not the same as Ukraine.
I installed this one and works pretty good to me.. thanks anyway.

Didn't say it was the same, just a lot closer than our Georgia. Glad you got it working.

yeah i know. doesnt matter though. JI6 and KB1 are both actual captivate roms and as such run the crappy captivate modems. doesnt matter where in the world the OP is, if they cant run the actual captivate modem, i9000 will work.

Interesting. I was under the impression that European phones use different frequencies and that while U.S. world phones support them, they aren't the same as the primary frequencies used here. Hence, using a U.S. phone ROM on a European phone would put it at a disadvantage with a European carrier.

why don't you update via kies? it updated my 2.2.1 to 2.3.5 without any complains and it was really fast and easy.
And uninstalling/installing a program will not make samsung mad that they brick your phone for it, so no worries mate.
