The device will reboot to recovery mode (CWM) and do nothing.
I'm guessing the CWM is the problem here.
Is there any safe solution for this? I don't want to wipe or backup or anything if possible.
Is there a way to just reverse the root?
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLF2
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
Thanks for the help.
Just make the update with kies and reflash root with odin after update

How do I update firmware on Kies? I looked everywhere for the upgrade firmware option. Can I do it over wifi?

No, I have Kies and I use. I just can't find the upgrade option.
For christ`s sake choose, if you want root forget about Samsung or stick with Samsung and forget about XDA. You can`t have it both ways :silly:

Please come back again when you can read. My problem is definitely not with rooting.
I'm having an issue with upgrading the firmware through the phone.
I would like to listen to you when you get off your high horse.

If you are rooted and you want to keep root delete FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk.in system/apps, you will not be bothered then with OTA`s.. For upgrades go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash the rom you downloaded with Odin v3 3.0.4.and reroot afterwards or flash with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root. See item 2 and 3 of my signature.

OTA update works with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.4 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
It will fail signature validation and then give you an option to install anyway...

Well, you obviously can't flash a stock FOTA with CWM, you need a stock recovery (Don't know why) and then you can flash FOTAs..
Try flashing firmware using Kies, or downloading it from http://sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Both will work

Well Kies does reboot the phone to download mode before it updates the firmware but I think this is where it seems to be failing for most people, after getting to download mode it does nada and the update fails.
Just use Odin to update.

Flash KE2 full Root flash KE2 kernel only .
Risk about 99% safe and about 99.99% recoverable from a problem anyway on SGS1/2

I'm asking if I have rooted my phone , can I update my phone with Offical Updates using Samsung Kies in future?!
Yes you can, but you'll need to root it again after updated.
Kies will tell you you can't. You'd have to do that through odin.

Why is that so? I have upgraded from rooted KE8 to KF3 via Kies. Kies won't detect your phone if it is rooted or not as long as you are on Stock ROM. Although, it's a different story if you are on a Custom ROM.

Hi guys, I'm a new Galaxy S3 owner that is french no brand i9300XXDLJ2 with 4.1.1 stock, now I want to update to 4.1.2 but i dont want to lose all my things, I'm wainting for OTA message that I haven't get yet.. I though to flash through clockwork the OTA but I don't know where to download it..
Is it possible to update flashing the OTA of another country? If yes, could someone post it with a link to download? I need the no brand or Vodafone version, thanks to those who'll reply
sammobile.com has I9300 firmwares. And yes, you can flash firmware from other countries. Flash them using Odin. XDA does have CWM versions on General section. Search. All files will stay as long as you don't wipe anything.

OTA update usually fails to install .
Kies may update if it sees correct codes but as you are modify phone it may not .
You would be beter reading the faqs and guides first .

no, you'll have to decrease the binary counter with Triangle Away (requires root), then you can flash a stock ROM with Odin.
please, before you do anything stupid, read a TUTORIAL, because everything i'm saing is extremely superficial!
Why would you root then throw away all the benefits of being rooted by installing official updates?

You don't have to use big letters on us! We can read! Now, since you shouted at us, I'll be shouting back. No, you can't! You should stop using Kies anyway! It's cr*p!
Hi. I want to 1. delete everything on my phone like was on the day whe i bought it and 2. come back to official android 4.2.2 and get updates like before root. Now i have 4.2.2 XELKB Carbon. How can i do this ? And you thing official 4.2.2 ill be better then XELKB or whats different between this and official ?
There is no "official" android 4.2.2 for the S3 yet, you'd have to go back to 4.1.2.
Look for Odin guides on how to flash Official ROMs, they are all over the forum
tomorrow, by odin
Help me understand whats different between all of 4.1.2 here ( so many ) http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and which i should choose ?

Going back to original state means unrooting your phone and installing your correct stock ROM. Go to sammobile.com download the correct stock ROM. I.e. was it branded before you rooted your phone? Or is it i9300 (unbranded international version). One you got your ROM download Odin. Don't worry about the versions for your stock or Odin. Turn your phone off. start Odin on PC. Connect your phone to PC put your phone in download mode (power+volume down+home). You'll see your phone connected in Odin. Select PDA in Odin. Then select the downloaded ROM from Sam mobile. Click start. It'll un root your phone and install the original ROM. Once installed you may need to go into recovery (volume up+home+power) and wipe cache. Once booted normal your phone will connect to internet and starts updating it self.
Caution: download the correct rom for your phone.
Run into any prob. Let us know here.

and don't ask questions in General
So where can i ask ?
For now i want to delete everything what i have on my phone ( internal storage ). Everything like i bought but i want to stay with my ROM for now. How can i delete/clean everything ?
in the Q&A section, if course.

Also, I have read questions on how to completely wipe the phone..the MegaWipe zip will do it for you..just have a ROM to install on the ExtSdcard when you use it..
What if i dont have ext sd card ?

If you're in a country that doesn't natively have the GT-i9300, go for whatever the latest version available. Any of the european ones really.

If you don't have a exSdCard. Connect your phone to pc and upload into internal card.
For complete wipe I personally use twrp recovery. It has simple option of wiping things. Then also help to install anything you want. You can also find odin version of any rom you want as rootsu said above. But remember flashing rom increase your binary counter.and always read about the rom you want to flash if it is compatible with your phone model or you can end up with a brick.
