Here is win7 64(32) bit flashing guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4866182#post4866182

first methode mensioned on this post works very well. Only from myself I should to notice that you should load win7 in "test mode" to install attached drivers.

Personally im on win7 64 bit and using this driver.

I haven't try in win7, official wm6.1 upgrade doesn't work in win7 so i go to my "xp pc friend" and there made complete flashing - wm6.1 from samsung site and wm6.5 through mirage ...

i downloaded the games cubes then tried to update it and it wouldnt update so i uninstalled it and tried to re-download it, now it just says downloading but not doing anything and when i try to cancel it it just force closes the marketplace and re-opens it back to where i was before ive been through my phone and deleted anything to do with cubes. Because of cubes trying to download none of my other apps can update so i dont know what to do.

Is it possible to "blacklist" a wifi hot spot?

There is a hotspot near my office that authenticates through a web page instead of by wep or wpa. As I move around sometimes it is the more powerful and the wifi switches to it, instead of using one of the hotspots that it has cached authentication for. This mean I don't get email until I manually switch hotspots (or deal with the auth web page).

I picked up one of the made by seidio PT case and holster from best buy. It looks like an innocase and holster. After I got my extended battery installed I had to use a different holster because the PT holster was now too big for it. I was wondering if anybody thought the phone with the innocase for the extended battery would fit in this PT holster? Anybody try it? I know on seidio's site it says it isn't compatible with the innocase holster and if this PT holster is exactly the same then we know it won't work.

I noticed last night my phone fits perfectly in the flat cases that are used for glasses. Its got the clip too. Awsome!
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
Rooted removed oclf. Updated. Pissed.

this is BS

call tmobile.. post on their website..
[Vibrant General] jjones1983:
I'm not touching this update with a ten foot pole. More headaches than it's worth. I'm honestly getting very close to the point of throwing my Vibrant up on Craig's List and heading the way of the G2... :cool:. I love this phone but the software support is just horrendous.
[Vibrant General] Broken:
Update went smooth for me, although I used Odin to flash stock JFD back a couple days ago from custom kernel. All I did since update was root.

Were you stock JFD or something other, ie kernel change etc...
[Vibrant General] DHarr20:
where did you get your stock from
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
I was still jfd. Tpain is sending another phone.
[Vibrant General] reaton33:
Worked fine for me but I dont use custom roms either. I just have ryans one click lag fix going with launcher pro plus and root.

Gps worked flawlessly, the task manager they put in is pretty robust, and the swype voice recognition is working wonderfully. I think I may be seeing a speed increase? Not exactly sure about that.
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
same here. went to t-mobile store and got a borrow phone. -___-'
[Vibrant General] Emama:
I want to know if a completely stock phone safe to update, i know there may be tons of the same Q/A, but there is too many post that can't find.

I have one and updated without any problem, my GF one doesn't showup and update yet, but want to make sure before she press yes
[Vibrant General] playpen:
ota bricked me too

same as above updated to 53% said update failed rebooted to virant screen and nothing . now have loaner cant get new vibrant till tues.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
For everyone who had stock kernel + root, can you list what else you might have had installed on your system that could compromise the OTA?

Spotty connection?

Low battery?

Connectivity only over wi-fi at during update?

ROM manager?

Titanium Backup?
[Vibrant General] BritCrit:
Bricked my phone stock with root. It completed the full install rebooted and hung on the vibrant screen for over an hour. I also have a loaner phone (just found my G1 thank god) and I'm awaiting a replacement.

As for changes made:

- full battery

- signal connection (3G two bars)

- Rom Manager Installed

- Titanium Backup Installed

- Removed T-mobile boot images and sounds

I'm going to try to update my phone through Odin and see if I can bring some life back to it. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
So should I update then root with the new phone when it comes?
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
You can Odin JI6 tarball. Then you can use the old update.zip method to re-root the phone.

It's working fine for me. Going to check the GPS out later (I'm inside right now), but the compass is a little herky-jerky so far.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Points of commonality is Titanium + Rom Manager + renamed boot sounds (I left my boot images intact).

My battery was 78% and I was on over Wi-Fi.
[Vibrant General] jmerchant:
My phone bricked too...Pretty sure it got to something like 53% - wasn't paying attention, but it looked like half way on the progress bar, then next thing I saw was the Vibrant screen.

I was rooted, with Titanium and Rom Manager and the battery icons...

TMobile is sending me a new phone, so I'm gonna try to fix this one first and see if the steps above work...if so good, I can't wait 7 days for a phone. It seemed pretty easy to get a replacement though. Like maybe this was common with this update?
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
I don't think rooting affects the update, but in order to install both of these apps you need root. Titanium installs busybox which supports LZO and ROM manager installs Recovery. I'm wondering if either of those would affect the OTA update.
[Vibrant General] tigga9545:
i thought i was the only 1 this happened to. call tmobile i have to go get a replacement phone tomorrow and wait till next monday for my new vibrant. this is 100% bullsh**
[Vibrant General] BritCrit:
Was going to follow up with the same info. Worked for me back up and running with latest update.
[Vibrant General] jmerchant:
I just got done doing the fix and got my phone back and got updated...so now what, I got a new phone coming in 7 days...lol Why doesn't TMobile use those methods above to get you back and running...It works, why not use it?
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
I have everything but the sounds removed and it hung in the same spot. What crap!

I'm attempting the Odin fix tonight...
[Vibrant General] tigga9545:
so i did the odin fix and now my phone works perfect again with the update. now should i call tmobile and stop them from sending that other phone
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Previous to JI6, GPS test was lucky to get a lock on 3 after 2 minutes of searching. It still has a hard time getting a lock with Use Wireless Networks disabled. With it enabled, I was able to get a lock on 8 within a 1-2 seconds.
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
LOL, i don't know if I want to laugh or sad, but I got the loaner phone after this BS update too.

T-mobile and Samsung are so lame. Always.
[Vibrant General] BritCrit:
Now that my Vibrant is up and running like you I'm faced with what to do with the new phone coming in mail. I spoke to T-mobile customer service last night. There are really two options:

1) Refuse shipping and UPS will return the phone

2) Keep it and return my old phone
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
much thanks to youneek for the odin all in one link... tmo and sammy are about to lose my business forever with **** like an ota bricking a device, was rooted no lag fix ever installed and mobile ap...
[Vibrant General] BritCrit:
One other issue I'm still exists certain paid applications are no longer available on the market nor do they show in my downloads. First time having this issue with the Vibrant in the past (with G1) it was a matter of clearing the cache. I've followed the instructions below but to no avail. That said, I'll rinse and repeat a couple more times. I'm not too stressed as my applications and data are backed up with Titanium.

http://www.honeytechblog.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-market-download-system-restore-issue/
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
If the replacement phone is not refurb unit or anything then i would go with option 2.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
All of my paid apps were there except for Wunder Radio...and I can't find it in the Market. :(
[Vibrant General] FRuiTBoOT:
After you unroot your phones make sure you delete the update.zip from your sdcard. Only way I could get the new OTA update to flash successfully. Oh and I deleted all of my clockwork recovery back ups. My phone was f'd too, but like everyone says, its almost impossible to brick this phone. Always a work around.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nethris:
Hello guys, i read that there is a new official update from samsung called JI6, when i tried to check for updates on my mobile i got message "no firmware" and the massage pops up quickly i don't think that the mobile connects to any servers to check for updates, i read that this problem because the phones got played with, i and my phone is:

1 - unlocked.

2 - rooted.

3 - lagfixed.

4 - gps fixed by the easy solution.

5 - gps fixed by the hard solution, by using .zip file and loaded into the rom (it wasn't that hard).

6 - changed the camera to smasung captive's camera, by also using .zip and loaded it into the rom.

so please i need to know which one of these adjustments should i remove to get the update not the "no firmware" msg, and thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redwolf313k:
Is a random update you'll get a message you can be rooted but you need to be in stock kernel in order to get the message
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beren28:

Why not just flash the JI6 firmware through Odin? :confused:

It's available in this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2ishun:
You stated exactly

Exactly WHAT have you been doing with said phone, and did it have anything to do with tents and blankets ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vapotrini:
+1

Also, the no firmware message is pretty standard.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
This is not the same as the new update . It has been posted in general section under the title " Official JI6 update info thread "
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken:
Did you actually read the post or edit? He changed out the file for the OTA version, so yes, it is the final OTA tar.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
No I have read it recently . Only when the " Leaked " version was posted .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
There is no fix, because there is no problem! The OTA updates are sent to devices in stages. You will receive a notification (in the notification bar at the top) when the update is pushed to your device. Going to "Settings > Software Update" only allows you to update the firmware after the notification has already been pushed to your device. If you haven't received the notification yet, then of course the Software Update is going to say "No Firmware".

Why can't people read the existing posts, search for their questions first, and only if they have something new and unique to post should they create a new topic. Furthermore, what does this have to do with development?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theghazi:
Would you give an update if u are using a different carrier on an unlocked phone ?

Because I put it in stock to see and sure I got message saying NO FIRMWARE
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Everyone has the same thing as you, you are just impatient. You will get an update that shows up in your dropdown when the update has been pushed to you. Otherwise, you can follow my instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803492
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoa718:
If u open up a task manager then go to the device management and chose switch to it gives you a option to do software update no luck for me tho, but it does search for something
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Why are people still waiting for the update when you could just download it and install via odin in like 5 minutes .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULiAsuj10:
guys i'm very new to this flashing stuff...i had my WM flashed couple of times....back then i didn't care about the phone.....but not the situation now...anyways...i 'm running completely out of the box vibrant and it was gifted me....so no data plan...i wish to flash if it is safe....so do i have to unlock the phone??? while doing this or every thing remains the same.....but the software version.....enlighten me..,,please...please..... ;)))
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
i'm also waiting for the ota. I'm not flashing through Odin because i got one of those "hardware locked" phone. Don't want to take a chance of messing something up in odin or having odin hang on me. I'm sure there a others in the same boat. I already asked for two replacements and no go. Will be working on getting a third one and see what happens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Tmo is saying hardlocked phone are defective . They should replace it for you . Just request that make sure they check that th he new one is not hw locked .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
First make sure your phone is not hardware lock by shutting down your phone and try to boot to recovery . (with phone powered down) Do this by holding volume up and down + power , hold untill vibrant screen pops up twice then let go of power button . If it boots to recovery you are safe to use odin .

Now you can download the official JI6 update from the bible in the development section . You will also need the vibrant drivers . And last thing you'll need is odin .

Once you have all those and you've installed the drivers, run odin and load the JI6 tar file in the PDA section of odin . Now turn off your phone remove your sim and sd card . Now put it in download mode by holding volume up + down and plugging the usb cable into your phone . If the android with the shovel screen pops up you are in download mode . Wait for yellow com 4 to show in odin then click start . Let odin run and do its thing . The phone should reboot twice and you are now running the new update with all data still intact .

There are many guides on how to use odin make sure you understand what you are doing and are confident . Otherwise do not attempt this .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULiAsuj10:
Thank you AgentFour20.. looks like my vibrant is "not" hardware lock and i could easily got into "recovery" and "downloading" mode easily.....while in downloading mode my WIN7

downloaded two sets of samsung drivers i don't know what they were.. one more thing....

by applying this update am i rooting my phone or its just a manual update...again thanks for your help...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Those are not the correct drivers you need to go to the development section and youneek has all the files you'll need rar'd . He also has the guide posted .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alkaloid:
I can understand that.

However, I will tell you that I have been using Odin3 v1.3 Which can be found in this thread, and have had absolutely zero problems. I have flashed stock roms many times this way too. I did however have one hang when using an older version of Odin a few weeks ago.

Like I said though, I understand your position. All these hardware locked vibrants that were produced is a real pile. I feel for ya.

Apparently Google's been pushing out a market update for 2.1. Installed it and after one force close it seemed to work just fine. Update all, auto-update, suggested search, separate comments tab, it's all there.

Download from: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/319798/updated-2-2-style-market-for-android-2-1/

**NANDROID BACKUP**

adb install -r com.android.vending.apk.zip

Not sure if the zip will install through clockwork, don't see why it wouldn't. Usual disclaimer, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone, etc. Enjoy.
