[CLOSED][Q] Kies does not support update for S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung just released JellyBean for Unbranded UK phones. My phone hasn't recived the update through OTA. So I connected my phone to Kies on a Windows Laptop and a Mac and they both said that "Kies does not support update for my phone". Does anyone know why? My phone is rooted and I haven't flash anything.

....because you are rooted!
Just flash it with Odin....much safer anyway!

Ohhh, I thought Kies worked if you are rooted. Thanks, downloading the firmware now!

Hi.
Will Odin cause any warranty issues if I use it to flash the official UK unbranded Jelly Bean on my S3 that hasn't been rooted?
Thanks

[Q] Remove Brainding Z2 drei hutchison

Hey guys,
I just got my phone and I like it so far.
But I want to remove the drei hutchison branding, since I want to flash a new rom and remove the apps.
How can I do this?
Also, if I break my phone, how can I flash back the drei hutchison branding, I can't find any on the interweb.
Cheers

[Q] Why wont my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 update to lollipop

So, lollipop is out and my brother and boyfriend have both updated their note 4 to lollipop but mine always says that it has the latest software update already (mine is 4.4.4). I have also tried updating via kies but it says the same thing. The only updates I am getting is for the Samsung Link.
My phone is unlocked not sure it makes any difference and my brothers phone is unlocked too.
Thanks
Mine too didn't get update so I go to download and flash it with Odin ,,, it's works tooooooo fine and better than before

U can find ur here

850F Where's my lollipop?

There are a few things I really don't understand. I have a UK sim free alpha on 4.4.4 which is being used in Portugal. I've seen lots of people with 5.0.2, but the update doesn't show on my phone, OTA nor via KIES. Does someone knows why this is happening?
Thanks
May be because you're using a UK varient in Portugal?
Or you modified your phone? Root? Custom recovery? This also prevents OTA...

You can also flash 5.0.2 via Odin, so you don't have to wait for the update to show up...(your KNOX will not be triggered using Odin to flash original firmware)

Won't update

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Alpha and it won't update from Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat. I've tried it through the settings and Kies with no success. I really don't want to root this device. What are some solutions?

I am not familiar with the Chimera tool, have you tried flashing firmware with Odin?

Have you tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset in recovery?
When you flashed firmware with Odin, did it pass? (Flashed okay with no errors)

Definitely try flashing this filmware though, the one listed above.

If you don't know already, at the bottom of post #2, you can download "samfilm" which will help you download the firmware much faster.

The method above does not work - still stuck on splash screen boot up logo.
What made it brick
Just try and flash bootloader file... And then maybe a different firmware...

could you provide me on what version of bootloader? and how to find it out?
Try to flash the latest one. Download the rom and then extract it and flash via odin.... No harm in trying if everything else failed
