Here, in this post I will describe the complete procedure about updating your phone to latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDKT3. For the reader's convenience I have written every step in a clear and simple way.

Please note that the update mentioned here is official update only for India. Remember, updating will not void your warranty. But doing it in a wrong way may brick your phone. So, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The below mentioned method has been tested and worked 100% on my Galaxy Fit.

Step 1. Dial*#1234# to check your firmware version.
Step 2. Download the firmware files for Galaxy fit.

2. Extract the flash program file to obtain two files:- BENI v1.0.ops and Odin.

3. Open Odin executable file.

4. Click OPS and select BENI_v1.0.ops from the files you have downloaded. Now tick "One Package" to enable One Package field. Now click One Package and select the file S5670DDKT3_S5670ODDKT2_S5670DDKT2_HOME.tar.md5

Leave all other fields.

It should appear like this:-

5. Now wait for about one minute.Meanwhile switch off your phone.

6. Now open your phone in download mode by pressing volume down and home button and while pressing these two buttons press the power button until your phone switches on. Now your phone will turn on with a yellow coloured triangle displayed on screen.Below the triangle "Downloading" will be written. Now connect your Samsung Galaxy Fit GT S5670 to PC and wait till the device is ready to use.

7. The "Com Port Mapping" box in Odin will turn yellow as soon as odin detects your phone. Now, once again make sure you have followed the steps correctly. Press "Start" button. The odin timer will get started.

8. Do not disturb the phone and PC during the updating process. When updating is successful, you will see the message "PASS" in the top left box. In my case, it took nearly ten minutes to complete.
