Future upgrade to Jelly bean on rooted S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noob question probably with a simple answer but i am a little confused so i'll ask.
I recently rooted my S3 and flashed the latest omega rom and siyah kernel, all is good for now.
I am on Android version 4.0.4, my question is when Jelly Bean is released and i want to update to it how do i go about it? Do i need to flash stock rom/firmware and upgrade via kies/OTA?
If i flash a Jelly Bean rom just now will my android version change to 4.1 or will i just have the jelly bean rom running on ICS
If someone could please explain it would be much appreciated, thanks.

U need 2 flash stock/official rom to get OTA updates from Samsung.
And if u flash Jelly beans then it wont be running upon ICS.
Ur version will change to 4.1 if u flash JB

Custom rom will also be JB based .

When jb is released you just download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash with odin. No need to go back to stock.

Flashing jelly bean beta on non rooted phone?

As the title says pretty much. Can I flash the latest jelly beam firmware leaks from Sam mobile on my galaxy s3. I currently have flashed the 4.0.4 latest firmware using odin and want to know if it's just the same process for the latest jelly bean leaks or have I got to root and go down that path. And if I have why? I'm a bit confused I've tried to read different threads but can't find the exact answer. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Actually you can flash the jelly bean OTA unrooted. It requires you to have LH1 modem on LG8 ROM. If you have that then you can just flash the OTA package in Android recovery.

If you're talking about stock ICS 4.0.4, you can get it by searching on sammobile.com
Before you do, I hope you've read this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28388184
If you're talking about a custom ROM based on 4.0.4, there's an index of ROMs in the Android Development section. You can look at the various 4.0.4 ROMs there and take your pick.

Did you try OTA update? I upgraded mine to 4.0.4 a month ago. If you want to be stock, 4.0.4 is available OTA or via Kies in most parts of the world.

Yes you can directly upgrade to Jelly Bean from Ginger Bread (2.3.5)
you need to keep in mind that the ROM is a leaked one and it has bugs and you might also have battery drain if you dont tweak it.
you can use the thread below to install it
Code:

Also keep in mind official jb is expected out any day. Why flash the leak when you can flash official soon enough.

Yup if you are not experienced and don't want to waste your time on struggling with bugs then better install ics 4.0.3 and wait for official release of JB

There's also:
www.samfirmware.com
I think there you'll gonna find what you want.
Or you can do a downgrade for some stock, and update using Kies.

Why? Just flash latest stock ROM and that is it. Better yet, use a custom ROM like neatrom. They work better than stock ROMs.
