Quite some time ago I rooted my S2 to get it unlocked. I then shortly after unrooted and flash ICS onto it when it was first due to be released. Ever since it does not ever find any updates.
Can anyone help with why this may be?
whin ics was firsted released from this site was never considered official, just leaked firmware. OTA updater will not recognize leaked software it is not stock, it was modified slightly.
You would need to find a stock ics which was releaed about mid 2012. Flash that and OTA should work.

Guyz to me it seems that Samsung releases OTA update all over the world except ME because I haven't got an OTA since June 26 here in
Kuwait
Is this normal or my phone does not get the OTA??
baseband no: XLFB
Build date: Jun 26 00:30:10 KST

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

As in branded GS3?? If that's what it means then NO
Then just flash an up to date Rom with Odin, or a jb leak and be ahead of official

No need for CAPS, IS THERE?!
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 .

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

Hi to all.
I seem to have a problem with samsung kies. I have a GT-I9100 international with android 4.0.4 and i read that an update to jelly bean might be available. Connected my phone via usb and it connected with all the features working accept the showing of the firmware option and option to check for updates. Note that i have already updated the phone using kies once. Can anyone help me with my problem here.
Thanks

I think we've been thru this already, but well:
JB update is not rolling yet.
I think I get your problem, but I just don't get your question.
Tried update/reinstall kies?

I updated/reinstalled it but still doesn't work. In fact this happened to me when i was on android 2.3.6 but somehow it went off by itself.
I get many of those problems with kies.

np.
Now, you gotta clean your device's drivers from your pc. All you need is a clean uninstall right from the root and all should be fine.
Re-Download Kies from the samsung's site and let it update, reboot your pc and plug your device.
Might also wanna check another usb's socket/cable.
Hi,
I check here for the official updates for Samsung, and when I check it here, it still says there no official update yet released for SII.
Samsung has released Jelly Bean update for SIII only.

Not until they put out an official UK release of 4.1.2. Just flash one of the available ones from the development section or using ODIN for an official release, just change your CSC if you really need to
If you dont know what you are doing, you should just wait for the official UK one to come out.
I thought it was already out via OTA in the U.K?

are you trying OTA or Kies upgrade... it only means not yet available in your region.
you can try upgrading using odin.
