[Q] installing official JB release - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i saw the official release for JB here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-i9300-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-official-upgrade-118073/
This is the actually official release right?
Also do i have to follow their guide or can i just flash it like i would any other custom ROM? Is a full wipe necessary? (i use full wipe script from android revolution HD on mike1986 post)
Btw is there a way to do full wipe manually on the recovery page?

Yeah its official jelly bean, follow everything they say down to the last detail, also....make sure you have the international variant of the S3 because inevitably, you WILL brick your device if you flash it on any other device other than the international (quad core, GSM) version, good luck

sorry for a lame question, but how do i know if my SGS3 is international version? I bought it from ebay, which arrived from Hong Kong, however I think it is a european version (France??), I don't remember how i found that out last time. I am on a custom ICS ROM.

Odin recognizes tar files only AFAIK...if you have a zip file...extract the contents ..it will have a tar.md5 file inside it..

Re above .
Wipe phone and apply your original firmware .
Bit pointless flashing a JB rom only to remove it why not make up your mind what you want.Official Updates via Kies and OTA when they are released for your phone .
Or join XDA and flash stock roms on release . You cannot have both .

I flashed my s2 with an ics Rom from here and it also upgraded through kies and would thought this would have as its the official polish release

Thanx guys for the replies.

Hello Mr.impatient
Indian official ICS will be released this week in Kies.So just wait 1-2 more days.
I will not comment about that Indian ICS which is already here in some thread.
Indian official ICS release will not come through OTA.
It will be only through Kies.

I am just a little skeptic about using Odin (scared rather). And now that I'm on 2.3.6, zergRush exploit doesn't work due to which I'm unable to root. Hence waiting for the update through Kies.

Odin is safer than Kies in my opinion.
You can TRY the "memory crash" method when using zergRush. Just open a ton of apps and exit using the Home button instead of Back to fill up as much memory as possible (at least over 500 mb used), then use zergRush.
I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
If not, just flash a kernel that roots for you, like CF-Root or Siyah.
How the hell does it matter when you get the update.
Its the same Samsung ****!
Id say stay on GB or use CM9!
But then again thats what i think.

Stock 4.0.4 when it will be available in india.

Anyone know when will be stock ics 4.0.4 will be available in india?Still waiting,fed up of wifi issue.
You can always try the available stock 4.0.4 floating around. It is the same one way or the other

First 4.1.2 is leak.
Second 4.1.2 leak is pre-rooted.
Third I never root my phone.
Lastly I9300ZNDLK2 is official ROM and its the latest among the official release from samsung kies.
Anyone?
Bumping is against the rules .
Like many as it is a Chinese firmware i wont even bother to look .

Please be more informative next time you post a question. Are you on 4.0.4 or what? And are you running stock rom (rooted/not rooted) or a custom one?
Sent from the Matrix
If you have the ROM that you get when you got the cellphone, then you will adviced if you have a update from samsung.
If you have a Custom ROM based on CM 10.1 [Google It] or AOKP [Google it] you can update in CWM [google it] without any wipe [Google it]
If you have a custom ROM based on Samsung, you need to wipe all the data and install it via CWM or ODIN.

sry for my english.

About your first point: thats the whole problem he stated.
About the second part: you're not completely right. If the OP indeed has a custom rom, then the updates from it (AOSP, AOKP or Samsung based) must be done like the developer says in his thread. @OP: in that case you won't get a 'Software Update'-notification, but maybe your rom has the Update Me-app or anything like it, so you can flash it through CWM.
If you (OP) are on a stock rom, then you have to flash the updates manually through Odin. However, if you're on 4.0.4, there is no update because it's the latest firmware.
