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 ROM 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 ROM labelled S5670XXKB1 (This is a russian ROM but you can easily change language to English) 3: Flash the ROM 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 install .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.
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. So don't try them. Before going through the precess 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. Based on source article: How to Root Gingerbread 2.3.3 on Samsung Galaxy Ace Blog Media take

hey ppl gingerbread update is out as u knw. but its kinda jerky. gotta frnd in samsung mobile r&d. though gingerbread has made my phn superfast and battery efficient it still has lots of hangs and black screen issues. also wifi acts dumb and messaging is a misfit. i tracked back to froyo using my friends help( actually he did it all i just watched with fear of getting my device bricked) he says to avoid gb on fit
Its cool to upgrade from Froya to Gingerbread, and I haven't any problem in my Phone. Lil bit changes are there comparision to Froyo 2.2 Is any problem with you.? Tell me anytime at arjun.chazz@gmail.com. Thank You - Chazzy Arjun
