Is it a Galaxy S or a Galaxy S 4G? Either way, I believe you can download Kies Mini from Samsung and get the update that way.

I hope I didn't misunderstand what you were looking to do. The only OTA or Kies update you can get from Samsung is still Froyo. It's the KD1 update.
If you're looking to update it to Gingerbread, there is not an official Samsung release yet. You would have to install one of the many leaked versions or custom ROM found in the Dev section of this forum.
Good luck

To add on, you need to have the bootloaders from a leaked ROM to run GB properly. Afterwards, just root by flashing drhonk's GB kernel and flash your custom ROM through CWM.

Samsung galaxy gio

Hello i have new samsung galaxy gio and i want root. I read that i need samsung galaxy gio drivers so how do I get them?
Just install Kies. But if you want to use Odin you'll have to close Kies.

Yes, but SuperOneClick doesn't work with 2.3.x
Rooooot!
Since nobody wants to help you here, I'll help you. Go to this thread and follow the instructions, it works like a charm for Gingerbread running 2.3.3 or 2.3.4.

search the info is here
Whatever is out there is not official, What you really want is a custom ROM. I recommend infused or serendipity VII, check out the development forum for more info.

You could try to download the ics Odin dump and flash it onto your device. Your post doesn't contain the model number so I couldn't find the specific one for you. (Wifi or wifi +3G)
Wifi+3g
Model No. GT-P3100
You could try downloading a launcher and then finding a similar interface as to the ICS one.

Here is a 4.0.4 (probably)leaked firmware found on xda:

Your device has also an active sub forum in which you can find custom roms and other stuff.

There are many guides on the dev forum. Specially look on the Blaze Bible as it gives links to those tutorials..

There is no official firmware for 4.1.2 for the blaze. The last official is 4.0.4. If you haven't done it yet, I would upgrade to 4.0.4 before rooting, but rooting with 2.3 is on there as well. As soon as your rooted, make sure you have the proper recovery flashed for whatever firmware you choose! The Bible is the best place to start! Any questions, let us know!
