Hello ! Good day! I have tried searching for answers using the search bar but I haven't found answers.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (international version). My android version is 4.0.4 . I want to upgrade to JellyBean. I have rooted my phone.
I rooted my phone using the steps in the unlockr website. I tried to find a solution there but I can't find one.
My phone is downloading a new software update. When I install it, after rebooting the phone it displays this.
- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I read somewhere that I can't update through Over-the-air update if I have clock work mod recovery. So how am i going to upgrade to Jelly Bean? Do I have to unroot my phone just to get the update?
Thanks you so much.

Maybe here's some help?
That's why you can't update....because your phone is modified. Samsung have been clever when it comes to modifications and official updates. You need to un-root if you wish to do the update officially or flash JB with Odin if you prefer unofficial

flash a stock recovery and the ota should work. You may lose root - so may need to reroot
you can use the toolkit in the dev section to do both tasks

Thanks for all the replies!
I have unrooted my phone now. But now, after checking the software update, it says that there is NO AVAILABLE UPDATES FOUND. I really don't know what's going on. It seems that it defeated the purpose of unrooting since there are no updates.

No updates means your phone provider has not yet updated . Ask your phone provider or a Samsung forum .

Really? But how does it explain that there was a software update when my phone was rooted, and now that it's unrooted, it doesn't?
I also noticed that my build changed from imm76d.i9300xxblh1 to imm76d.i9300xxblg9. Does that mean anything?
Different phone build is the answer .
But why anyone wants to join XDA to update official is rather silly in my view .
All that happens is repetitive root unroot no update where is my update why dont i have an update .
OTA updates that are blocked may update via KIES .
Simply flash a stock JB rom or download whatever rom you want via CHECKFUS and flash via Odin .

I'm downloading this Android Version 4.1.1 I9300XXDLJ1 I9300OLBDLJ1 from sammobile.com
Tell me if I'm doing it right.
I'm going to put the extracted file to the PDA section in Odin, and START it.
Would that do the trick and make it JB now?
Also, would it wipe all the data of my phone?
Sorry for the hassle sir.

Hi i bought a new samsung galaxy s2 the other day and immediately checked for updates ota. it said an update was available, so i downloaded it and clicked install. the phone rebooted and began updating but once it got to 14 percent it stopped, rebooted then said update was unsuccessful. So i connected to kies and it told me my phone wasnt compatible for updates via kies. any ideas?
Kies is useless, if you really want to update you can use odin yourself... up to you and voids warranty
Try uninstalling and reinstalling but too be honest, forget kies...
hmm. ok. any ideas on why the ota update stops at 14 percent? im on stock 2.3.4 and not rooted.
yes, because kies is rubbish....
settings - about phone - update... Over The Air update is probably not available lol ...
With odin you can flash stock updates... really simple, but get used to the phone and if you want to take the leap, its not difficult but do plenty of reading, it can a bit daunting initially...
Is there anything wrong with your phone or just hungry for the latest version?
OTA is not in use/working for many yet but is supposed to be working when ICS is released .

i9100 stock roms in the stock rom thread al you need is to match modem and csc to location and network .
Rooting has nothing to do with updates or making the phone faster .

You said you're in the US? Then there isn't a stock ROM for the i9100 for your region. I'm in the US too. You should be able to use any from Intratech's official firmware thread just fine. I flashed from XWKE7 for the UK (2.3.3), that came with the phone, to XXKI3 for Poland (2.3.5). Haven't found a need to upgrade beyond that yet, but there are newer versions available.

OTA and Kies won't work for us dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. We'll have to rely on ICS being posted somewhere here.

ahh of course :/ well thanks for the info!
got my s3 yesterday and I thought I would try to upgrade officially rather than root straight away. tried kies first but wouldn't work and then I thought I would try the update through the phone but my phone doesn't have that in the about device bit.
so my questions are is there something wrong with my phone? and should I just use odin and flash the latest stock firmware? or which is the best custom firmware that keeps all the stock functions?
my apologies of this has all been covered before.
thanks
First we need to know what firmware have your phone preinstalled.
Type *#1234# in dialer.

Your phone should be able to receive OTA updates, Kies is for most users a pain in the xxx. Best way to update is to flash the updated rom through Odin (see item 2 and 3 in my signature). For custom roms see the developers thread, there are many good rom`s with all the stock features. My preference is what you see in my banner. First read up about rooting, flashing, CWM and stuff to avoid problems
Well, since you are asking in XDA, YES don't wait for OTA or Kies. Use odin to flash original firmware.
Root it as fast as you can
Try every custom roms until you found the one you like the most.
Happy flashing

I appreciate all your answers. I'm not new to to flashing as my last phone was an S2 running wajk miui, just curious as to whether there was something wrong with my phone as it doesn't have the update in about device.
didn't want to root straight away as I'm not convinced I want to keep this phone yet, not impressed with it as I thought I'd be.

You say Kies does not work ???
No update well that begs the question is their an update for your phone .
No OTA in settings About Phone System Update that suggestions that the vendor has removed OTA updates .If so firmware updates are via Kies when the vendor decides to push them out .

thanks for the reply. did try with kies and it was updating but timed out twice so I gave up. my current firmware is BVLAF4.
So I have an alert OTA that new firmware is available but when I try to install it tells me there is a problem. My phone is rooted, is this why? I can't take it in to get looked at unless I roll off the root and reset counter which is a lot of work. Should I just wait for Jelly Bean image coming out and install the whole image. This iswhat they are talking about with "firmware" right - Jell Bean, Ice Scream Sandwich etc. I was going to download the latest ICS image from my carrier and install it but the version listed and the one on my phone is the same....a little confused. I am on US Cellular by the way. Couldnt see a forum section for it so I posted here...sort of a general question anyway...thanks.

If your rooted. Then you either update through Kies or download the firmware from sammobile and flash it through Odin.

Install Kies on your PC. Open it after installation and connect your phone to your pc via usb. Kies will automaticaly check if there is an update if there is it will download and install it even if your phone is rooted. After the upgrade you will loose root so you will have to reroot your phone.....If there is an upgrade for your phone you need it otherwise you wont be able to get Jelly Bean officialy.
This is the easiest way plus you get the official upgrade
I've been trying to update my i777 to ICS for the past few days, but Kies grays out the feature to update and says update through Kies is not supported by my device. I've tried over-the-air updating, but it says my software is up to date. I have no clue what to do. Also, I tried rooting to flash a custom ROM and get an update like that, but that doesn't work either. Please help.

Same thing happened to me but I was able to root and then flash a ROM. I'm pretty sure I used some version of odin to root it but I can't be for sure.

You can
You'll have to use Kies or Odin to update. Just update it and wait for root
. Soon its guide will be uploaded on xda forums and parthweb.com too.

I thought updating the rooted S4 (with Kies) will possibly brick the phone? Do I need to uninstall the root apps (like Titanium backup or firewall) first before using Kies to do the update?
