Updates!! Help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If You Are on 3 network in Ireland/England then please reply.
I've read that some ppl on 3 network have gotten s3 updates already and im still on the stock update, does anyone know about the release dates for the updates on 3?

Are you still running the stock firmware or have you rooted your device? For reference, if it's rooted, you will no longer receive OTA updates and will have to install them yourself.

Call Three. They are a bit notorious for slow sendout of OTA updates.

Ya i noticed haha, thanks

I rooted so can't comment but don't forget anyone on 3 but through carphone warehouse or phones4u will have unbranded handsets. Only 3 store or three.co.uk are branded

Forget about otas and flash the firmware yourself, its the only way to have the latest firmware available.

[Q]{UPDATES}

HI ALL,
Im in South Africa with 4.0.4 XWLPO firmware and just got a push notification for software Update. Anyone on the same firmware got the same?
Presumably a load of other South Africans. Why?
Lol yeah dont need to make a whole new thread cus you got a update :/
The update is only 9MB and doesn't wanna install OTA. Will sit it out on kies to see if it updates. But I know SA is not getting 4.0.4 our country sucketh candle sticks when it comes to firmware updates. And they ask why we install unbranded firmware...
Warranty is Pointless in SA is my answer.

LPO was removed from official releases due to missing local search and probably other mistakes, so I would recommend to update it.

4.1 Update in The U.K? How to push to device?

I've got a Galaxy S2. I'm in the U.K and the phone is not network locked, still waiting for 4.1? Anyway to push it through OTA?

Not until they put out an official UK release of 4.1.2. Just flash one of the available ones from the development section or using ODIN for an official release, just change your CSC if you really need to
If you dont know what you are doing, you should just wait for the official UK one to come out.
I thought it was already out via OTA in the U.K?

[Q]What do I do about new update from Verizon?

I had the latest rom installed from here and now there is an update from verizon that fails to install(Phone rooted). What should I do or is there a newer build availble to us rooted users?
You would have to un-root, update, and then re-root. That is the fastest way.
You are getting an update from vzw for your s4?

How would I un root? And no, it is on a S3.
There was some mention of an upcoming update in this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/42938-heads-up-att-verizon-s-iv-owners/
Just checked myself and don't see any new Software updates.

Your questions would be better asked in the S3 forum, then.
I would not take any updates. Verizon and Att are surely going to block loki and you could be stuck without a root method.

Most probably there isn't a 4.3 update for your country available yet.

From what Google says its been halted in the UK to iron out serious bugs

Why is everyone so excited abt 4.3 ota? Wait for a week after it is released. Search google. If there isnt any bugs. Then install it.

I got it OTA. Downloading it and then installing it manually will still work.

Unfortunately my computer situation is a little troublesome atm so would just prefer the OTA. I still haven't got the OTA. I wonder if it's different phases or so?

Is that a safe way? I'm a bit wary and always prefer the OTA. I'm happy to wait for it to drop if it's in phases as i'm not in a rush. I was just wondering why my phone isn't able to find the update through the system update?

The ota is downloadable through the app. Then you go to system updates then press menu and select local then pick the file. You could also rebrand to an eu or global firmware this way

Thank you I will give this ago if the OTA doesnt come soon.
Performance took a slight hit coming from 10.0.9 for me. Don't bother, you're not really missing much.
@Major75
Download to your phone from the official update UK website. The instructions are at the bottom of the page.
