Hi Guys I own a SG3 I9300 the international version. I have read many forums and site which say that the official update 4.1.1 or jelly bean is availabe for SG3. However, when i connect my phone to the computer and open Samsung Kies it says that my current OS is up to date which is ICS 4.0.4 .
The model number is GT-I9300 , version 4.0.4 , baseband version I9300XXLH1 etc...
Oh i am in Sri Lanka by the way is that the reason becuz i have the official rom installed not custom though it is rooted .

https://twitter.com/samkiesupdates has a pretty nice overview of what phones have Kies updates available.
It really is out!
JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!
See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg
I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!
I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.
I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!
Really annoyed!!!
well that poland seems like test 1

Thanks. I just found a forum with other users experiencing exactly the same as me, so at least I know enough to get on with the rest of my life. ah well, false alarm on the JellyBean front. Sorry folks.
Thanks everyone. You guys cleared my doubts i knew i could count on xda and its members.
Should be this month, apparently... although it's hardly the first rumour with a confirmation from Sammy with no official release date.

I dont know if this polish version is really an official but i have been using jelly bean on a note II and ny feeling is that it is smoother and less bug in the note II

Apparently the Polish version is a test release, (release candidate) I would assume there is a note in the terms and conditions stating it may contain bugs. not 100% sure on this.
So we could get that exact same version when it eventually rolls out to the rest of the EU, or it could be a bug fix version, either way it's obviously close to a full EU release and nothing much will be different if anything.
Personally I'm just waiting for the official EU release, but if you can't wait, there's no harm in installing the Polish version (providing you follow the relevant directions of course)
i also have the I9300XXLH1 baseband and no new updates i realy hope the final jb rom will have the multi tasking that the note II got 2 days ago

Is this normal or my phone does not get the OTA??
baseband no: XLFB

You'd probably find, that you've got Android ICS (4.0.4) which is what the phone came with.
That is how everyone is feeling.
Jelly Bean is still being developed and is not as stable as ICS, and that is why you have to root your device and flash a custom ROM, to the phone to get Jelly Bean. Other than that, your phone is pretty much up-to-date, seeming as ICS is the latest stable build, for the Samsung Galaxy S III, worldwide (Sammy)..
I'd suggest getting your phone rooted/flashed and that you choose a custom ROM, you find your phone much more attractive, then

Right, maybe it's because there AREN'T any, that are compatible with your providers.. So, get a custom ROM, that way, you're pretty much always up-to-date.. And before you get snippy, calm down and actually state, what you want AND need..

Stock rom does not void warranty .
Custom rom or root does void warranty but can be removed .
Ask phone provider for your update or use CHECKFUS .,
Sim Locked does not mean branded it means locked to a carrier .

I have an "update" that keeps popping up on my new GS3 on SFR and I don't want to do anything unless it's JB. But I was told you could only really get the update through Kies and I really don't want to install that program.

Like you, I never use KIES. I think this update (JB on SFR) is available OverTheAir. Connect your phone on WiFi and check via Settings/About devices/Firmware update. Lot of improvements on JB. It is very smoth operating system compare to ICS. You can update via ODIN if it's not available OTA. (Official ROM doesn't increase the counter).
Another way although a little harder.... you could download the Rom of Sam's firmware and flash it via Odin. If you have a mac or linux computer you could use a virtual machine considering you have the hardware or you could use a friends PC
Hope this helps

Actually, since I wanted to get rid of bloatware, I was thinking of just ignoring this update and finding myself a JB ROM that is more Vanilla perhaps or at least stock GS3 or Nexus.

Hi Guys
My friend is having the same problem however he doesn't have a SIMcard just yet. turned on his device and connected to wireless, checked for updates and it reports with no updates available for his device...bought the device in Australia. he doesnt don't get a SIMcard for another 2 weeks. Will he get updates once he insert his SIMcard or will he have to update via odin?
i was under the impression that Samsung will update their devices and then push it to our service providers to then push the update out to the user?
is this even correct?
Thanks
U can get the update even without sim card. Just download Samsung Kies on your laptop and connect your phone and upgrade the firmware using Kies.
This will do the update to jellybean

lol :silly: im not sure you know whats going on....
I have a NEW Samsung Galaxy S3 bought from Kogan Australia...
Out of the box it came with Android 4.0.4
I know jellybean (4.1.1) is available for the S3
FIRST i checked the phone for updates...Said my phone was all up to date.
Then plugged in my phone using Kies....Kies said the same thing.
Then went and had a look at the model number (BTW Kies didn't ask me for model number it figures it out on its own)
Turns out i got a GT-I9300A
Then searched the net for a Samsung galaxy GT-I9300A...Nothing came up.
Then decided to comment on XDA because i thought someone might know whats going on.
Found out i was wrong!

I had the same problem as you when I bought my s3 two weeks ago. I am from the philippines and the s3 I bought had a different region (kenya). Kenya is still pending on jellybean update. I could not update via OTA. It always says that it is up to date. Tried kies, same thing. I decided to flash via Odin the Samsung official firmware 4.1.1 from sammobile, choosing my country among the list. After flashing I did a factory reset which then registered my s3 to my country. All is well now as I am registered to my local network and can receive OTAs. And warranty is not voided.
Note : be sure your s3 is GT-I9300 unlock. HTH.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was my s3 was factory sim unlock (open line). I did not mean bootloader unlocked. If you have used different Sims then your good to go. Don't unlock the bootloader if you're going to flash official firmware, to keep warranty.

There is no JB update for Iran yet. If you want to have your JB experience then you have to download other countries' firmware then flash it manually. I suggest the UK-BTU version or rather go for Poland-XEO which is 4.1.2

Hello!
My friend's I9300 is still stuck on Android 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.I9300JKBLH3.
I want to flash him an updated version using ODIN. I want it to be from the country that get updates the fastest, so he would always be updated as he don't know how to use ODIN, and he is afraid.
So, what is the best build to flash right now?
He needs Hebrew to be available for the stock keyboard. No need for full UI translation.
Thanks!
No country gets fastest update .
All you can say is Europe generally in front of the rest of the world .
Exact roll out varies .
Hebrew would be your first item for a firmware version .
