firmware update to 4.2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in Ireland and am rooted using CF method on 4.0.4 with litning rom installed.
Can someone link the firmware update package for me for the 4.2 update please?
I want to retain my root obviously, but I'm told I will lose it after I update...is this the case?

Sorry mate but 4.1.1 is barely released for SGS3, so 4.2 is coming earliest sometime next year. So nobody can't provide you link for that

help using kies to update

Hello. I'm a spanish Galaxy s2 user. Since I learn to change Roms whith Odin, I've tried several Roms, all of them official. Now I'd like someone to tell me how to update using Kies again. I mean, if I'm using a 4.0.3 official Rom and I want to update to 4.1 official in september-october, what should I do to do update through Kies again?
I think that I have to use a 4.0.3 official spanish Rom, but I'm not sure.​Thank you so much.
You need to use stock rom from your carrier.

Well when it gets released you can download it from WWW.sammobile.com. or you can revert back to GB with your stock firmware and wait for the ota update nearer to when its going to be released.
Have you considered shooting and updating to a jb rom now? Rootbox is stable and amazing. I would recommend it

[Q] installing official JB release

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

If you're so anxious to get Jelly Bean on your phone, why don't you simply flash a JB based custom rom?

Ask those using 4.3 in the General thread what the changes are . But it is only an early test leak .
Most parts are missing from this leak. Is worth a flash but don't get your hopes up.
4.2.2 vs 4.3 leak
tried the 4.3 jb leak but its very disappointing, though some says its just a leak or test firmware.
but still, i preferred 4.2.2 leak better. :victory:
So you think should I wait until original firmware update comes for S3 ?? Leak test firmware is disappointing for you ? So dont you suggest test firmware ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Don't know what is disapointing in the leak! I have it and working very good till now. It has s4 icons and for exemple the calculator is the s4 one too.
What are the differences between the leak and original what is gonna change or add ?? And after I flash leak can I take original update I hope so it doesn't be problem

Leak is a beta or RC version of the rom. Many things will be tuned up on the official rom, but till then you can test it with the leak. What will change is impossible to know since we don't work for samsung but probably most things will be under the hood.
Cheers
Thanks Can I take the original update when I flash leak firmware because I am in Turkey

There is no 4.2. The search most probably shows news anticipating 4.2 or custom roms. The gs3 and note 2 jumped straight from 4.1.2 to 4.3
