Kies, Odin, Mobile Odin, CWM. Take your pick.
Unsure about any of them? There's a search function, and it's not just there to look pretty.
Just be sure to take note that you have an I9100G (according to your spammy signature) before doing something silly.

Update is as said via KIES the over the air FOTA service is not yet fully rolled out hopefully it will be ready for the imminent release of ICS Android 4 .
The latest version may not be available for your phone . In which case update via the stock roms post .

update
some website shows ics officially update realesed on 10th march?

So? They're clearly wrong, and if you would take a few seconds to search, you could have found official clarification.
By the way, sticking a question mark at the end of a statement a question does not make.

Not receiving any updates

Hello everyone, I'm new in these parts.
I live in Morocco and I purchased a SGS3 about two months ago. I love it !
The only thing is, I'm not receiving any updates since I had it. When I look for updates from the phone it says that no updates are available.
When I try to use Kies to update it tells me I'm running the latest firmware, although my phone only got the I9300XXALF2 !
Am I doing something wrong ? Or is it a country problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Why should you have an update has your phone provider updated the firmware ???
If not you are on the latest ask your phone provider .
Or join XDA Developers and flash latest stock firmware .

OTA Update Issue

Hi guys,
Got an update that I had an OTA update waiting. This is strange as I'm on I9300XXLH1 which I think is the latest right? Also my phone is rooted so I thought I wouldn't get OTA updates? Was originally a Vodafone branded phone, i applied ROM through Odin.
So i hit update and it downloads (17.61MB), screen comes up with the usual update message and says:
Update details (17.61MB)
Improved stability
and gives me Later and Install options..
Hit install and phone reboots and then seems to go to CWM screen:
"CMM-based recovery v5.5......"
With some options like reboot system now, install Zip, wipe etc...
Down the bottom it has some text about finding and opening package then says it "failed to verify whole-file signature
installation aborted.
I choose reboot and phone boots fine but then I get a blank update box. I hit close and it goes away.
next time i check for updates there it is again.
Any ideas on this?
I believe it is a modem update.

You can't apply it because your rooted. Either update through Kies or download the firmware from sammobile and flash through Odin.
You can also flash the stock recovery back. That'll let the ota go through.

As mentioned if your device is rooted the update will fail. If you are keen to uply that tiny update flash stock rom n check through kies if that update is available. I changed the csc on my device a from AFR to BTU. It wiped everything as I knew that and my device back to stock as well as got the new lh1 modem update. Currently on stock rom will wait until the official release.

I had the same problem, just update it via Kies
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Root is not the cause for the failure, not having a stock recovery is.
Also if you use KIES beware that there is a good chance it will wipe your internal SD
Thats not true, neither of the statements you made were true... CWM supports OTA now. And Kies doesn't format your internal card...

Kies has formatted my internel sd every time I have ever used it on the s1, 2 and 3.... so..... what am I doing wrong?
and also it depends what CWM he has installed, if he has Chainfires (from cf-root) then OTA's will fail maybe if he is on Koushes latest build (which he clearly isn't) then it would have worked.
Edit: Chainfire has just informed me that the reason most OTA's fail in CWM is that it has signature verification set to ON (like stock recovery) and as the recovery image signature will not match if you are on a custom recovery the flash then fails.

But multiple posters using the last CWM say OTA update failed to install .

That'll not be the Indian firmware na? So, no more official updates, no warranty
1. For official updates u r still waiting, if u eager than change to LLC and switch back to Indian firmware when launched.
2. For your warranty issue before taking any issue to ASC flash back to Indian Firmware. It takes a couple of mins.

As far as I know that samsung don't give any official update to over that firmware which is flashed by odin, that doesn't matter that if you flash a official firmware of any country or of any other country.

U can change ur CSC to get OTA.
But if you are reluctant to all than best is u wait for Official Update for India and you very well Samsung always delay updates for India.
Even in next few days for India you will get firmware LLA or LLB while for Spain its already LLC.
Now its your option you wait for OTA for an older firmware or update to latest.

Can I update my rooted 4.2 to 4.3

I recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy s4 on 4.2 and just noticed today 4.3 pushed down on my phone as available. If I update will I brick my phone or should it work?
You will get an error message because your phone is modified. No update for you, you will have to flash back to stock unrooted.

I'm glad somebody here is willing to help you, but it's important to note that you're posting in the wrong forum. This forum is for the S4 Active available on AT&T and internationally which is a different phone than the regular S4. The forum you are looking for where you will get better help related to your device can be found here.
Ha! After my answer I went straight to Sammobile and started searching for 4.3 lol, now I realised that he asked about S4.. thanks for clearing that out!
