Where to find the official Bell Canada Froyo update?

I tried to update my Bell Canada Vibrant with Kies and I bricked my phone
I wanted to try the Odin method to recover my phone with the official Bell Canada Vibrant Froyo ROM but I couldn't find one yet... is there a place where I can download it?
BTW, does this ROM available in the update.zip format? I can get into the 3 buttons Download mode/Recovery mode no problem, so if such file exists I would like to try that first instead of the Odin method.
Failing that, is there a custom ROM that I can try on my Bell Vibrant?
Thanks!

Samfirmware.com has tons of ROMS. However you have to sign up as a member.
Download the XXJPU file. This is a 3 part compressed file that will need to be flashed via ODIN. You will need to check "re-partition". Also make sure you use the 512pit file. Once this ROM is flashed via ODIN, you will then download and flash the XXJL2 ROM (one file only). This was the last version Bell had. I hear KC2 is now out, which you can update via Kies.
I just downgraded from MIUI, and used this method about two weeks ago and all went well. From JL2 however, I flashed Darky's 9.5 and love the battery life and snappiness of my phone.
Although I'm not recommending you one custom ROM over another, In the past I have used Darky's 9.3, Ultimate ROM, Simply Honey and also cooked my own custom ROMS via romkitchen.org. I came back to Darkys ROM due to personal preference.
If you have any questions, or are looking for the files, I still have them on my computer and could make them available for you.

The official as in branded network rom that came with your phone unless you backed it up you will need a Google search .
Samfirmware does not carry many branded roms .
But i doubt if you will find one as nearly nobody saves them .
Possible work around is to flash stock 2.1 Eclair from samfirmware .
Then spoof registry to pretend its the correct ID and update to
Bell Canada Vibrant Froyo.

samfirmware.com does have the latest bell 2.2 UGKC1 available.. also search these forums you will find an odin flashable version. no you cannot us update.zip you need to use odin

[Q] Flash Back to Samsung Firmware

Euro Tab
Just installed the Gingerbread official firmware from forums but Kies will still not show current firmware, when I installed a ROM before it changed the format.
Is there a way to put the Tab back to stock firmware so that it works with Kies again now that we have an official release rather than using Odin
Thanks in advance

English in the English forums please.....Whatever THAT language is it does not belong here.

Anybody
Still no answer is this not possible?
Just want to put tab back to out of the box state by re-flashing the tab using Kies.
I have done it using Odin and now have gingerbread but want it to sync with Kies for downloads again.

Well I did it.
I flashed Rotohammer v4 and used bootloader patch to see if there is a protected one. But as far as I know GB doesn't have protected bootloaders.
Then I flashed the P1000XWJJ4 firmware. Works for me. If this doesn't work try P1000XXJK5.
After that KIES recognizes your tab and offers you updates again.

Gtab DOES have protected boot loaders... They are generally loaded on from those official updates you seem to like... Be careful if you decide to put custom firmware on after reflashing stock as you might find you have a brick...

Can you clarify a bit more as I have flashed the official Gingerbread from Italy onto the device and it working fine apart from Kies does not show any firmware info.
Do I just need to flash the stock UK firmware including bootloaders when it is made avalible and then it should work again?
Tab states the following version info:
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband P1000XXJPZ
Kernal 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build GINGERBREAD-XXJQ1

OK just tested again in Kies and it updated Kies to version 2
It now states:
This verision of the device can not be updated
Current firmware version: PDA:JQ1 / PHONE:JPZ / CSC:JQ1 (XEU)
Hopefully this means that when the UK update is released it will allow a force flash or something.

[Q] Gingerbread for VNZ

Hi all,
I've got an unbranded Galaxy S i9000 handset which has the stock Froyo VNZ (Vodafone New Zealand) firmware on it, would using the Kies registry spoof to XEU work fine for this to get Gingerbread?
Also, if I run a factory restore on it after upgrading the firmware will it revert back to Froyo or stay on Gingerbread?
Cheers

Not sure if the registry hack will work.
I use odin to flash gingerbread, have a read of the guide:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/
After you have installed gingerbread, doing a factory reset will not revert back to froyo.

Ah OK, so does that mean any of the Gingerbread firmwares will work? (e.g. other region's firmwares from Kies in addition to the ones like you linked to) I've read about people spoofing their region code and using the Kies supplied firmwares but am not really sure if any faked region will work on my phone's region.
What's the best way to go back to the stock firmware if something goes wrong?
Thanks for your help!

A good guide to read, to get a idea on how to install/flash using Odin. Its really important that you can get into Download Mode and recovery mode, download mode is needed to use Odin.

You could wait for Gingerbread to be released by VFNZ via Kies, no idea when that might be.

If you have a Galaxy S i9000 you can flash the JVK, JVB or JVO firmwares. The differences are mainly the included apps (daily info yes/no, some country-specific app, and swype languages), and the carrier configurations on the CSC.
You can always create the APN manually if you know the values for your carrier. I'm using JVO with XEU code right now, APN created manually.

Thanks for the replies guys, ended up downloading the JVO (XEU) firmware using Fus Downloader and flashed using Odin, works perfectly!

Be aware that JVO suffers from serious battery drain issue though..

[Q] Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.3

Iam from Germany and iam using the german Kies! But i have installed trough spooffw and UK Version of GIngerbread 2.3.3 because in Germany the GIngerbread Update trough Kies wsa not available. But today it started i saw in the internet. So i need to get back to Stock german Froyo so that the german Kies indentify it and update it but which is this stock german Froyo 2.2 Rom?

Flash back to your stock Eclair 2.1 (Choose the right file depending on your region go to this website samfirware.com), and then upgrade via Kies.

Rooting Gingerbread on my SGS
Hello folks,
first of all I really appreciate the work you put in here to satisfy the community with all the helpful apps and stuff. TY!
Well, it came to the point that I used Kies to update my Germanish SGS i9000 (O²) and the only thing I miss now is the root access to get rid of some really unwanted and memory eating apps.
I used SuperOneClick on Froyo and earlier versions which worked great but seems this is not working on 2.3.3 anymore. Well, I was reading the guide on how to install this CF Kernel but I got scared because others seems to have some reboot issues after doing so. I have to admit that I really don't have much clue about all the Odin pushes and Kernel stuff, and the more I try to understand, the more I get confused (I might blame it only on my age tho^^).
Is there anyone out here that could just guide me to the right CF download for my SGS? That would really help me alot.
Another question would be, after changing the Kernel, can this mess up upgrading to a newer firmware in the future? Do I have to install the original kernel before?
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427

I downloaded an Eclair Rom from Samfirmware.com but i cant flash it on my sgs i9000 so i decided to flash an Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVO from samfirmware. IS that an official Gingerbread or an customized?
If you want to root under Gingerbread you need to flash another Kernel e.g from Supercurio. Get ODin 1.3 and search in development section for an Kernel and flash it then you ahev superuser rights

[Q] Help me please. 2.2

Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks

anyone? :l

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition

Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck
