Well the phone is from Europe i assume ?? if so i would just go for 2.2 froyo (JPY) or 2.1 Eclair (JPU) as upgrades have been officially released, and they wont think anything of it if you have one of them... where as a custom ROM would raise some eyebrows lol.

Hi im on samsung Galaxy S vibrant from Bell.
Im sitll running 2.1 as no update has come through Kies for me for 2.2
I am using Kies 2.##.
My current firmware version is: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 (BMC)
If you are impatient you could download JL2 (latest official Bell upgrade) and flash with Odin.
Otherwise...make sure you have latest version of Kies, etc...never used Kies myself so I can't help you troubleshoot that a whole lot
or bite the bullet and root the phone, use some custom ROMs
It's a little scary at first, but well documented and safe/stable nowadays
Lots of good options like Darky's, Ultimate etc. I've recently been playing with Doc&Stef's RomKitchen which is stable and well documented

Could be that you are not using a Bell ROM. JM1/2 is a European ROM. The Bell 2.1 roms were jg2 and jh2. When you boot the device does it flash a screen with "GT-I9000M "?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

hello every one iam just got my S I9000 ( not plus ) i want links for tutorials about how to root my phone and get the newest baseband and i want link for the best kernel and rom ( best rom in graphics/speed/games )
thanks in advance
First of all, there's no such thing as the best rom - it's like trying to compare apple and oranges and saying one's better than the other. I usually recommend people to start with stock-based roms (so no AOKP or cyanogen mods) simply because it's closer to the stock rom and usually to flash.
As for rooting your phone, if you are already planning to flash a new rom, there's not much point in rooting it now. All custom roms are rooted. If still want to learn to root (which might actually be a good starting point), you need to tell us what firmware you are currently on.
thx for replay and my firmware 2.2.1
and my baseband t959uvka7

thats not an i9000 thats a tmobile vibrant...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm goood
Trying to flash a I9000 rom on a Vibrant will most likely brick the thing. Better to start looking in the Vibrant section instead. Good thing Paul spotted it.
his mob is tegra ?? he have the same mob like mine and i dunno where's my section !!! should i just search for any vibrant t-mobile section ??
Here u go m8

Are you asking for the One Mini 2 or a Samsung Phone? Odin is only for samsung devices.
Regarding your answer(in terms of the One mini 2), there is a stock rom in the developement section and a CM12.1 based rom as well.
