Whenever I try to do an OTA on my Verizon Galaxy SIII, I get a popup that says:
Service unavailable
Check for System Updates under Settings > About device when service is available
I've been searching and searching to no avail, nobody in the GS3 forum seems to be able to help.
Can I update manually? Like a zip file? and if so, where?
Thanks

I'm having trouble with the Software Update feature and could use some assistance. I know there isn't a software update available for the Galaxy S II yet but I used to be able to go into the Settings menu ----> About phone ----> Software update ----> Check for update but now I get an error message ''Samsung Account Already added in account manager''. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

I have the same problem and when I go into Settings "accounts and sync", I don't see my Samsung account.
When I try to add a Samsung account , I am receiving the message "Samsung Account Already added in account manager''.
How can I delete my Samsung account?

Is this Software Update tool used for firmware updates through wifi/internet? Because it says no updates found (and yet there have been 3 firmware updates so far).
If not used for firmware, what does it update then?
I have found a solution: with Titanium Backup, in Samsung account, I have wiped the data and now I can create a new Samsung account.
Software updates works again .
re instale kieselguhr on your pc
Titanium Backup worked for me too... thanks for the hint m8..
My phone shows "Software Update Available" in the Notification Menu. When I clicked and tried to select country, it doesn't show India. All countries are available, except India.
If the update is available, then why not it's showing my country?
And guys, can anyone tell what all things get updated with this? Will all my data get deleted? What is the safe procedure to follow while updating?
if you are using kies to update, you can try to edit its register and change its region to "IN" for india. usually its value is "US" just change it.
Update the phone using Kies. And for differences in ICS and JB search on Google.. there are million articles on it.. Stuff like project butter, blocking mode etc
Well, i just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus From verizon because it's "unlocked" for any carrier. But when trying to see if there's any update it shows "Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try Again Later", does it matters if im not using verizon Sim card? thanks.

I believe you do need a Verizon sim card to access the Verizon software update platform. I know that when I de-activate a phone I get that message until I activate it again.
Try Using Samsung's Smart Switch software for updating.
Yu da man!
I had similar prob when I wanted to unroot my S4 "reformat" and after successful I couldn't update via OTA.... so I did it the hard way with Odin and then was happy, stuck my phone in a drawer for almost a year and decided to put it to service...... same problem again!...
After reading this thread, I realized since a new update was not available I'm getting the error whereas I didn't get it before....
I simply took my existing sim card in my activated Note 4 and put it in the S4 and wallah!... it worked! OTA!
My Verizon account didn't change anything because I didn't actually activate, just only switched sims "so no activation charges".... after OTA done, simply switched it back to my Note4 and now I have a fully updated S4 I can give away!..
Thx!

Hi. I have a Sprint LG G5 that I gsm unlocked using the hidden menu apk. I received an Android update last night of 470mb. Since I updated the phone is showing Invalid Sim. How to get it unlocked again? The hidden menu apk now shows completely different menu options. I cannot access the previous menu anymore. Please help.
Maybe your device got sim locked again?

I have same problem. Help us someone please . Thanks
The new zvc update blocks the hidden menu. Look in the sprint threads. Do not attempt downgrade or brick will occour. And there is apparantly no zvc tot or kdz yet so no fix. The only option is a 3rd party remote unlock service. That can also unlock the apn menu so you can have data also. If not you will get calls but no data or mms.
The resason for no downgrade is sprint and lg increased the antirollback increment higher so no zvb-zv8 any more.
But as history goes with sprint lgs. Everytime the anti rollbqck goes higher a firmware ussually gets released. Same seems true as for the sprint g4.
This happened to me as well, any luck finding a solution? We already have talked to Sprint, but they say the phone still is unlocked in their end, however the phone still says invalid sim.
Maybe try "Unlock UICC" under the system updates menu? I'm on factory rom with no hidden menu stuff. But had to do "Unlock UICC" even after Sprint said they had unlocked the phone for me.
When ever sprint unlocks and post lg g2 you have to also click uicc. They aprove it but its like a profile update

You need to manually update your phone because when you take a phone that's from say t-mobile and go to Verizon with it, well Verizon doesn't carry t-mobile's firmware and that's what the phones trying to get and it's being told by Verizon's server "no I don't have that." And that's why you get an error.. You need to download the firmware yourself and flash it with odin.
