Enjoy Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread on your Galaxy Fit!!

---

After a looong research, & after not finding a gingerbread ROM for Galaxy Fit, I had almost given up my hopes to see 2.3.3 gingerbread on my Galaxy Fit. Well... almost!!!

Finally managed to get my hands over OFFICIAL Samsung 2.3.3 firmware for G-Fit. Samsung will eventually release 2.3.3 for Fit in India but that will probably take a long time. But if you don't want to wait, following is the way...

This is the very SHORT guide for Advanced users only. Do your own research & understand every step before you do it. I will probably update detailed steps when I get some time.

1: Goto samfirmware.com Galaxy Fit page:
Login - www.SamFirmware.com

2: Download the 2.2 FROYO firmware labelled S5670XXKB1 (This is a russian firmware but you can easily change language to English)

3: Flash the firmware over your current one with help of ODIN. Follow the guides at samfirmware.com

4: Install the latest version of Samsung Kies 2.0.0.11044-11
Link: Download Samsung Kies 2.0.0.11044_11 Free - Search, browse, download and manage apps for mobile devices - Softpedia

(Install on a OS other than windows 7, as firmware update does NOT work on win7. Xp worked for me.) You may also have to isntall .net framework 4 & windows media format 11. Search for the links on google.

5: Connect your Galaxy Fit with S5670XXKB1 & Kies will popup message a new firmware is available.

Firmware details : S5670XXKPF (GINGERBREAD.XXKPF)

6: Follow the steps to update firmware through Kies.

7: Change the language back to English from Russian.

Update: Official build 2.3.6 is now avaialable. Refer to following thread:

Steps to change lanuage on android 2.2/2.3:

Goto Settings -> Locale & Text -> Select language (First option)

The option has white background with letter A on it.

Steps to root your 2.3.3 Gingerbread :

Note. SuperOneClick or any other similar apps don't work on 2.3.3 yet. At least didn't work for me.

Before going through the process of rooting you have to download a small file named upd_1.zip

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

1: Once you have downloaded the file copy it to your SD card. For ease of work copy it in root of SD card.

2: Switch off your handset and wait till the vibration is over.

3: Now switch the phone in recovery mode. Press and hold Power button + middle menu button together to start in recovery mode.

4: Once you are in recovery mode you will get lot of options on screen. In recovery mode touchscreen does not work, so use the volume up/down buttons to toggle through options. To confirm options press the middle button.

5: Go to the second option i.e apply update from SD card.

6: Upon selecting the second option you will need to select the fileupd_1.zip. Press the middle button to apply changes.

7: It takes 2-3 seconds to install the update.

8: Once the above step is complete, reboot your system from the first option.

9: As the phone reboots you will have super user in it. Your phone is rooted now.
