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

Hi Guys,
I recently updated my GS2 to ICS via Odin as my network( Vodafone Ireland) had not released it yet. Now I have a constant notification to register for software updates. Anytime ive tried doing so it fails. I had ignored it think that it will fix itself once my network releases the upgrade.
However, ive just found out that Vodafone Ireland launched ICS a few days ago. Any idea what steps i need to take?

I guess you mean this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Follow his instructions to the letter
ok there are 2 things going on........
1: either you mean the icons that show up after you flash ics stock rom
2: or you want to update officially by your carrier / OTA update.
if its option 1 just click the samsung thing and than skip it will go away, other icon you have to signin and it will check for ota update and say u have latest blaa blaa.
needless to say u need tobe online for both
Hi,
Again I'm not sure if people understand so I'm obviously not being clear. I have an unrooted SGS2 which I updated to ICS before my carrier launched it offically. I now have a constant notification to register my device update but whenever I try, I get the error "Software Update. Processing failed".
I have attached a scrnshot of the notification.
Any help is appreciated.

That's for OTA software updates. Now that you've already flashed via Odin (and probably not a firmware that matches your actual CSC) this probably won't work anymore, which is why it fails to process.
You can safely ignore it, or if you want to get rid of it, you can root and freeze the Software Update application with Titanium Backup. (there are probably other ways to get rid of it as well)

Use CheckFUS to figure out what the actual firmware is for your region, download that, and flash via Odin.
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.

Hi All,
I have an unlocked UK non-rooted phone that I recently restored to stock firmware (DLJ4).
I understand that the UK BTU is out and so are people receiveing this update through Kies/OTA yet or is it only on sammobile? I'd rather update OTA than through odin but I havent't received the update yet - it still comes up with the latest updates are installed.
Any ideas?
Cheers
why dont you want to update through odin? Takes literally 3 mins
Never updated by Kies before in my 6 months using this phone lol. You might wanna connect to Kies and check. Sometimes the OTA doesn't push through
If your phone codes match the firmware on the server you get it .
If you no longer have matching codes due to flashing stuff and then trying to revert to the Samsung route basically you are wasting your time .

youre on a stock samsung rom? Just flash the new stock samsung rom over it in odin, wont lose anything
Yeh I am. Oh I thought whenever you did a flash through Odin it factory resets it?
But still - I don't get why I can't update ota.

Nope - only when you unlock the boot loader. So if you've done that already, you're fine.
I'm on dlj4 too - I can't see a 4.1.2 update that corresponds to this - can I use another? I'm unlocked and rooted.

I had to update the CSC to BTU using CSC select from the play store. Common problem when flashing BTU firmware with Odin apparently - defaults to Kor which prevents OTA from appearing.
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?

I don't know how to do that, i just whiped my phone and it worked like a charm
Hi folks please be gentle with me if I have got this all wrong and posted in the wrong place.
I am based in the UK.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT19000.
It has never been modified in anyway and I have performed all updates as notified.
The other day I got a notification that there was a new firmware update.
I did a OTA update which downloaded but failed on install at about 25%.
It recommended I use Samsung Kies with USB connection.
I connected via Kies and Kies reported that a new version was available.
I clicked to download and it appeared to do something but it was still reporting a new version available.
It reported current firmware version as: PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK1 / CSC:MK4 (VOD)
It reported new firmware version as: PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB1 (VOD)
My phone says it has Android 4.3 installed.
Can someone briefly explain what this is all about and what the update actually is.
If I do need this update any help as to why it is not installing by OTA or Kies would be helpful.
Your update appears to be failing to install. In phone settings select factory reset, which will wipe all your data, photos and settings from the internal storage, then try the update again.
If it still fails then follow the guide in general forum on how to flash a firmware with odin, you can download the latest UK Vodafone firmware from sammobile.com.

I called Samsung service centre this morning.
They did a remote control of my laptop and phone.
It appears that I have Android 4.3 on the phone which is the highest that the S3 can handle.
The engineer wasn't sure what the upgrade waiting was but checked to ensure I had the latest firmware for the phone.
The Samsung engineer was really helpful and friendly and worked at my speed not his as most tech guys do.
Thanks for your help.
I had the same issue, the update being shown in kies is correct. Just verify your phone status by going into settings 》about 》status. If the status of your phone is shown as official then its ok, otherwise reset the binary counter to zero using triangle away and flash the latest version via odin.

There is an update just released for Vodafone uk it is the PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB1 (VOD) version, most likely it is a server overload problem if a lot of people are trying to update at the same time, give it a few days then run kies again, it will update eventually.
Or you can download the NA5 version from here, download Odin from my signature and install it that way
