No use I would say,No wifi.
Plus the possibility of bricking phone .
I would wait for a month or so.
Optimus One is getting an update so hopefully 551 would get one too.

KIES !!!!.You gotta be joking.KIES is the most ridiculous software ever.It doesnt even show the KA7 update .And since Ace got the gingerbread update and the release of native gingerbread phones,Samsung has clearly made a distinction of who will get updates and who wont.Dont keep your hopes high.Samsung is more interested in gaining new customers than keeping old ones. Last Samsung phone for me .

Hey I was also waitin like u guyz. But then I thought any update I do from outside may make my phone just a junk box. So I recommend that u stop searchin on web about this and email the samsung customer care or service center. They will tell u if the update is available in ur country. If it is then u can go to there center and they will just take 15 minutes max and update ur phone. And it will have no problem.I just got it updated a month ago. And its workin just fine.

how can i update android 2.2 to 2.3 for samsung galaxy 551
You cant till official update is released and 551 is not in line for official updates. So never maybe.The only guy developing on CM7 update had his laptop crashed so the project is suspended.Samsung's rfs and recovery sucks .

Really and which country has the gingerbread update ?I am really curious.
Me too... Altough I fear he was talking of the Froyo update
Galaxy Mini which has same hardware as 551 and it received the 2.3 update yesterday.
Galaxy Fit received it's update 3 days ago.
They also have quicker update release
551 has very few updates and it is sorely neglected by samsung.
If you have any knowledge of modding ,help us at XDA.
I am creating custom frameworks .(Check my blog)
We have to assume samsung wont give us gingerbread.
ha gys!!!!! i own galaxy fit i got 2.3.4 update from "http://www.tsar3000.com"
and i found gingerbread update of galaxy 551 is also there.....try this link

Does anyone know if I can trust tsar3000.com? (I'm cautious when it comes to something that voids my phone's warranty and I might not be able to reverse the process of rooting).

There are the same fW's as samfirmware .No 2.3 .551 has been chopped off the update cycle .It's official and 5 new phones have also been announced .
That's a pity... I bought the phone with high hopes about being able to port level editors for my game(in c++) to it without much of an hassle ...
Guess I'll have to learn Java or buy a new phone then ._.
You can program in eclipse easily .If you know C++ java wont be that hard. Lets hope Willing Magic of XDA ports 2.3 to 551 .Currently he has problems with init.c
hey you all understand that Samsung is not even original 2.3 update brings to gingerbread? I do not even gio, Fit, Mini & Ace have been received, and why not 551? Samsung Galaxy 551 is in my opinion not in the eyes of samsung .. that means they no longer sell the device and no longer to update .. So all mail to Samsung, the more people we send the crazier they make who knows, there is an update! I'm in confidential!

Someone you know and gangstar HD on this unit can download and Need for Speed SHIFT? link plz!
One friend told me that by installing an european version of Kies, you will be able to update to 2.3, since there they already have the update
I tried downloading from the UK site of Samsung, Kies, and it still no signs of Gingerbread ;(
What he meant was ,flash an european firmware then you may get a KIES update .It's better to flash the european gingerbread anyway
Sounds crazy, but HE SAID THAT. I had my doubts, because by my IP Kies can detect in which country I am, and can also use the GPS of my smartphone to know my location.
Anyway, is it possible to flash the european Gingerbread ROM?, it wont brick my phone?.

It is possible to flash the Gingerbread ROM .
No guarantee however that it wont brick the Phone .That depends on your ability to follow instructions , the stability of your USB cord , USB port and your phone's micro USB port , stability of windows , and so on . However usually it flashes without hassles .One in 10 phones doesnt support gingerbread and may have display problems .

European GB is already out .The rest of the world will get it by March 2013 (Thats the official date when Samsung removes support for Galaxy 551 . )
Hey guys' can you teach me how to root my galaxy 551 in safe way? I saw on youtube a galaxy 551 phone using gingerbread 2.3.4.."nakaka ingi kasi" please thanks
My phone is already out of warranty, so I don't mind rooting it. But if anyone has already tried this ROM and there are any known issues, then please let me know!

Yes it is right .Gingerbread 2.3.4 was released on 20th september .The 2.3.6 was released later in November
However I dont have any trust for files(Stock Firmware) uploaded on any website except sammobile.com ,sampro.pl and checkFus .
If you want to upgrade make sure you read the instructions carefully .
Also You will need XEO-KPG version of Gingerbread 2.3.6 just to be on safer side since ,it is the only confirmed version which works on all Callisto Phones
Check my Odin Tutorial Here for flashing/upgrading .
Like mentioneed ,the first 20 seconds and first 5 files(out of 9 or so) of the flash will determine the working of the phone .
Here comes Samsung with yet another phone in the Galaxy line. This time it's in the form of the full QWERTY Samsung Galaxy 551.
With a 3.2 inch screen and a full slide out QWERTY keyboard, the Galaxy 551 is a nice mid level Android phone f... Read More
