All, today here in indonesia, there was notification to update my phone software, so i clicked update then it started to download "update package" with about 22MB.
when the download finished, i click update then the phone rebooted.
the next screen is look like android robot which it's stomach opened and there something in it's stomach. below that robot, there's a update loading process.
when the process is about 20%, the robot was fall down and above the stomach there's a red warning sign then the phone rebooted again..
I was scared that my phone would be bricked i thought, but it didn't..
but when my phone startup, it's said software update failed..
maybe anyone can explain what's wrong?

No firmware details so a look in my crystal ball says its a rooted phone .
OTA updates will not install on rooted phones . Flash stock via ODIN .
jje
sorry forget to tell, it's yes that my phone rooted.. i'm using CF root 6.3 with CWM..
5 minutes ago, i did full unroot using superSU and i try to update again.. but no hope, failed again..
the update detail said it's only improve stability..
if you tell me to flash using odin, then how to download the update package manually?
sorry, i'm noob here with worst english, haha..

I also face a same problem, malaysia cwm 5.8.4.5, also tried with kies, halfway keis said `time out`, where can we download the update n flash with odin?
I had a similar problem, I had to move the update.zip out of /cache/fota/ and then use cwm to update it.
Had to re-root too so you're prolly better off just installing it all via odin.

I finally got the LFB update OTA today after waiting for 2 weeks and I downloaded it but when I tried to install it, it stopped at 30%, rebooted the phone and gave an error message saying that it can't do the update and that I should use KIES.
I'm rooted with no mods installed or flashed apart from a few pushed apps into /system/app.
I've had an OTA update before and that installed fine but I wasn't rooted at the time.
I know i can flash via odin but id rather not.
Any help appreciated.

Kies sucks to be honest, it worked well on the S2 but on the S3 it doesn`t . What you can do is go to a service center and have them update it, flash with Odin as you said ( wich is the fastest and safest way btw) or wait for an OTA update. Or maybe retry a couple of times with Kies.

I think you misunderstood me. I haven't used kies yet. I've been trying to update via the OTA update and whilst its in 'download mode' (the one u get when flashing with odin) installing the update, it stops at 30% and the droid icon lies down with a red triangle on it. Then the phone reboots and gives me the error..
Btw, if I flash the latest firmware over my current stock LF2 via odin, will it wipe everything?

Sorry, wasn`t quite awake this morning Nothing will be wiped. The best thing you can do is to flash the rom yourself with Odin.

I think I'll pass on this update as Ive read around that they've removed the local search functionality when you long press menu on home screen.
Just gonna wait for a mod and then update.
Thanks for the reply

Root is not the issue. I am rooted with CF-Root v6.3 and it says so in the main thread that v6.3 supports OTA updates.

how to update camera firmware
After I root and install 3rd rom, my siii rear camera was bad, 'camera fault".
when click *#34971539#, there was no anything but "camera firmware standard", then jump to home screen, display a dialog box,"factory test stop".
Don't damage the hardware of the camera? But it has got well ever after I reset and dual wipe. I want to camera firmware, can I?
It's coming home, it's coming home, local search is coming home
Just in from my moan to Samsung Mobile UK:
"Samsung Mobile UK Hi Andy, Howard - the most recent software upgrade for the GALAXY S III in the UK included the inadvertent removal of the universal search function. Samsung will provide the correct software upgrade within the next few days. Thanks ^George

GTFI!!!!! :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
So my phone was rooted via CF Root 6.4. Didn't flashed any ROM or stuff. I once (accidently) checked for the Software Updates and there was a 0.17MB Update available and it instantly downloaded that! Then it rebooted and installed the OTA Update. I had random reboots ever since then. But just today it rebooted but won't load any further!! It turns on and gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" logo then turns off. I can access the CWM Recovery for just like 3 seconds when it gets rebooted again! I CAN however go to the "Download Mode".
My requirements are simple. What firmware I should re-flash via ODIN? LINK ME ONLY!!!!
I also heard the CHECKFUS thing??? what the hell is that? Will my phone be okay?? :/
Reply please! Anyone who visits, please leave ur response!
You'll be fine if you can get into download mode. Google sammobile and download a stock ROM from there and flash via odin

Why dont you tell us..which region are you from??
Checkfus is a pc app which will search its servers for your firmware once you specify it what you want...

Sounds like a pooched bootloader / recovery. If you can get into download then don't worry, Odin will be able to sort your problems. As people have said you flash over the Stock with Odin and you will have recovered the device to a workable condition.
Where do i get such confidence...I have soft bricked a few devices in my time.

So what you're saying is that if I flash the Stock JB XXDLH4 Firmware even at such a condition, the phone will be all good to go? I don't wanna risk this phone at this time at all :/
Flash any stock ICS rom via Odin .
Alternative flash stock ICS rom for your region .
Download rom for your region via CHECKFUS .
Does not matter if its an old version to get the phone working .
There are older firmwares here as well .

Shouldn't I just download the one I previously had on my phone? XXBLH1?
I live in Pakistan but this phone came from Europe or somewhere else. Its not a Pakistani version where I live. Should I install the XXBLH1?
You can install whatever you want .If LH1 worked then install that .

Guys, i installed the firmware, but the problem still exists,
it reboots automatically as it is showing the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen, (it sometimes proceeds to the "Samsung" Logo" but thats all. it reboots again.)
the firmware is installed fine from odin, it gives no problem while installing the actual rom as well, but it just reboots after a few seconds.
One more thing i tried to install backup from the CWM i made earlier, but it too restarts when i go into recovery mode after a few seconds.

Downloading Now...
lets hope for the best...
thanks for the help EVERY ONE... i am really appreciating this
Good day,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, which I recently unrooted. I followed this guide to unroot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613
I used Odin3, v1.85. The file I put in the PDA section was downloaded from the site in the guide and was the following: I9300XXALF5_I9300PROALF1_I9300XXLF5_HOME.tar.md5
I did run into some problems while attempting to unroot though, a few times I started the process in Odin to find it had failed after the first quarter of the bar was filled. I think this might have had something to do with my pc ejecting my phone whenever it felt like, but I'm not completely sure (the rooting was done on a different pc by someone else). Of course, because of that I couldn't properly start my phone and it gave me an error message about the firmware not being correctly installed. I persisted and eventually I got it working, though no idea how I managed.
Now, before the root and during the root I had Android 4.1.1, but after the unrooting it went to 4.0.4. Whenever I try to search for an update, either via WiFi, 3G or even Kies on the pc, it says there aren't any new updates. Device status is normal, and custom binary download is No. Bought my phone in Belgium, if that matters any.
Screenshot of the about screens in attachment. Is there anything I can do to get it to update, preferably without the use of Odin?
Please be gentle, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and I'm not looking to reroot.
Thank you for reading through!
just connect your phone with computer and update via samsung kies
else, download the firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmware/ for your country and flash using pc odin

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I however already tried with Samsung Kies, and it says there isn't an update there too. I tried finding the latest firmware on the site you linked for unrooting, and it came up with the file I mentioned in the first post, which resulted in 4.0.4. I'm kinda hesitant to flash again, since I encountered problems when I unrooted.
EDIT: Just tried with Kies again, and it tells me it is the latest firmware. It says something like this:
PDA:LF5/PHONE:LF5/CSC:LF1 (PRO)
Root your phone again
And install mobile odin
Then wipe data and cache using Mobile Odin
It will factory reset
Then you will see that your device status becomes normal
Then go to super su settings and choose full unroot

Thank you! I will try that soon, when I have time. Just a question though, is there no need for Triangle Away with this method? I remember using it for the unroot before.
I think you should also use triangle away to reset the flash counters

Guess I'll post it here for people who happen upon the same problem.
Got it fixed, using this guide:
androidcritics.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-official-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-xxdlib-firmware/
Basically just used Odin to flash the file downloaded there (I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5) on the phone, worked after the second try. I think my problem is that my computer decides to eject my phone whenever it feels like.
After flashing 4.1.1, it found and installed 4.1.2 update, so I think it's fixed now.
Thanks to everyone who helped. Cheers!

ODIN to update your phone

Try a Samsung/ Kies forum .Or a Samsung service centre .
Or join XDA Developers and flash stock rom via Odin .

Check device status in about phone - status and see if its modified..if its modified u cant update your phone via phone or kies..since modified kernel will stop the updating process...download the ota update file from sammobile and flash it via odin

Hey guys, Samsung finally released another update for the Galaxy Ace and i want to download it
I did recently root my phone + extended the internal storage
But when i try and do a software update with my phone it downloads but then it reboots and goes to the installing part it won't install and shows a notification saying Failed
I then tried to upgrade with Kies, and all it did was stay on 100% on the downloading components part, nothing was happening to my device
So then i Un-Rooted my phone and then tried the two steps above same thing happend
Now i am thinking to whipe my phone and re-try it?
Also could you answer these:
1. If my phone is rooted will it affect firmware upgrades / will it rooted make firmware upgrades fail
2. Do i need to put it on Download mode?
