Has anyone encountered problem while trying to update firmware tru OTA and receive notification from Samsung saying that 'access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try again later'?...is this normal? Or its just temporary problem?

Search would have found this is a basic question asked daily .
The answer in very simple language is that the server is overloaded .
Problems with Samsung OTA updates contact Samsung or your phone provider .

My problem started when I got a notofication for an OTA update whilst away from a WiFi hotspot.i told the app to remijd me in 3 hours amd have not been able to ipdate OTA since. Seems like more than just a server problem to me.

Yup, me too had this problem for a week. Made a trip to Samsung service center and had it fixed by the tech support. The tech support offered to flash a latest copy of ICS without telco's bloatware. I took it :good:
I encountered a similar problem mate. Per Casanoaa's advice, updated my firmware using Kies and it worked like a charm.

FOTA will be slowly rolled out if the present test works .
jje
For me it has changed since 2 days ago. When i check for updates it says: Samsung account has already been added, but there's no firmware update yet. Can't really say if it's functional or not yet. Form what i understood there were a few northern countries which released FOTA.
How it has been changed for you? What yo have done?
I have 2 Galaxy S IIs, One I9100 and second I9100G
On I9100G update from mobile works fine on 3G data network, I updated my 2.3.3 to 2.3.6
But on my I9100, I am facing this problem of connection failed...
I have tried many things, factory reset many times, but this issue not solved...
What you have done to solve this issue?
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.

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

Rooting has nothing to do with factory image .
This is XDA developers we dont use official methods preferring to update when Samsung release a stock firmware not wait months for vendor updates .

this may sound like an absolute NOOB Question but i had a rooted S3 and for some reason it was acting terrible
i therefore downloaded a stock firmware from sammobile and flashed it using odin
i was just wondering if i can still get OTA Updates or Kies
i ask this because when i connect it to kies it says "your device does not support upgrading through Kies" ( this is when using the USB cable that came with the phone, but if i use a USB cable that goes with any other phone it says "Current version Etc"
many thanks Jack

So are you some kind of a wizard ? he didnt state that he was using jellybean. ANY WAYS.
Op, if your using a stock firmware from sammobile then yes you will receive OTA updates.
EDIT : If your device doesn't get detected from kies you probably didn't choose the correct firmware for your phone or the CSC is wrong follow this video to restore it to completely http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_8Tga_yKywc
You need to download the firmware for your region, then kies will detect your phone.

I flashed the firmware BTU, my S3 is an unlocked version, international and i flashed one of them (not JB)
Please jb now!!

I did the exact same thing. Flashed BTU then kies gave me the same error. You need to change your CSC to BTU also. Then you will be able to upgrade via kies or OTA. Be warned though changing the CSC causes a complete wipe of all data and apps etc.

I always just flash the generic UK FW and always get the OTA notification in the notification bar.
Another question:
I have a branded S3 (so not unlocked) and ive flashed the stock LH1 ROM to it, so now my CSC is unbranded (but matches my country)
so my question is, will i get OTA updates in the future?
After connecting to KIES i get the "this is the latest firmware version" message, so not the "your device does not support upgrading through Kies" message.
This means its OK?

If it's stock firmware for your specific device and region, it will work.

I have an unbranded one and I have never got an OTA notification I have to update through Kies (or Odin) never found the problem, went to a service centre and all they said when I show them the error OTA throws out is to reflash (well of course they said they would do it)
Sorry for hijacking he thread

Sorry to be a pain but how do i change my CSC? Also, BTU has to be the one im using because all the other options are Ukrange, vodafone Etc :')
I've noticed when you root your device you will not get the ota because your device status is modified

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.
