You could flash it via Odin, or alternatively flash your stock ICS rom again and then update via KIES (just don't root before using KIES)
EDIT: KIES or OTA

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Download the OTA 4.1 Poland firmware & flash it through Odin. That's it, you are good to go. Then you can root & install CWM.

You will only receive OTA`s for the rom of your region, if you want that just flash the Indian JB rom and do not root, If you are rooted OTA`s will not be installed as you have a custom recovery. You can however update with Kies, but you will loose root. See item 3 in my signature how to flash with Odin.

thanks for the help
Okay first of all as the title says, I'm new to the android OS. I successfully rooted my I9300 4.0.4 by reading and using the toolkit 5.0. So now I'm rooted with stock ICS. My question is, will I still be able to update into jelly bean build LJ4 via OTA or Kies? Will someone please enlighten me on this one. Thanks in advance.
Friend i think when we root ota update is blocked.but yes you can update it via Samsung kies.but you will loose root .
Also you can get yourlatest firmware (jelly bean or whatever) from samfirmware and flash it.

OTA: no
Kies: yes but you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Odin, you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Mobile Odin, you can keep root (pro version)
Hey thanks for the quick response for the both of you. Will try on kies first then sammobile if I'm not succesful. Will be any complications regarding your suggestions? Are those firmware from sammobile official?

yes, sammobile has official versions as well as leaks (marked with a orange sign), hence make sure you get the correct version.
There is also a neat guide to flash a rom in the stickies incl. a video.
Also you can try an option called "ota survival" in super user app.
But it do not works for all devices.
My ICS 4..0.4 was rooted using CF Auto Root by Chainfire.
After an update to JB 4.1.1 root access was no longer available.
Does anyone know if I can use the same method and files that I used to root ICS on the JB 4.1.1.
Thank you for your advice.
yes, you can
I did it!
