Just ODIN the lastest Jelly Bean (4.1.1), not the 4.1.2 leak and you should be good to go

How to do it. . If done Odin, my device will be rooted or not?? Sory for noob question I am totally new to Android

flashing stock 4.1.1 via Odin won't root your phone
but don't flash 4.1.2 coz it is pre-rooted

Remove the external sd card and reboot. Check for updates again. It should solve your problem.
Hit thanks if I have helped.

No it didn't help. . . Still same. Now planning to concentrate on flashing option. Thanx awl

I am happy as my problem exist no more,
Before going for flashing option, by chance I get my device encryted and encryption works!
I don't know how but now everything is ok, back to normal, check my updates from device, it shows normal in device Status. Thanks to everyone.

Kies, Odin, Mobile Odin, CWM. Take your pick.
Unsure about any of them? There's a search function, and it's not just there to look pretty.
Just be sure to take note that you have an I9100G (according to your spammy signature) before doing something silly.

Update is as said via KIES the over the air FOTA service is not yet fully rolled out hopefully it will be ready for the imminent release of ICS Android 4 .
The latest version may not be available for your phone . In which case update via the stock roms post .

update
some website shows ics officially update realesed on 10th march?
So? They're clearly wrong, and if you would take a few seconds to search, you could have found official clarification.
By the way, sticking a question mark at the end of a statement a question does not make.

[Q] How to trick the phone manufacturers?

Hey guys,I hope to solve my problem.I read threads regarding this but couldnt understand.
So here it is,I got a micromax A87 phone a month ago,then I rooted it.I removed the manufucturers RAM hungry apps.Everything was fine,but from yesterday on call(both incoming and outgoing) I cant here the voice,but they can hear mine.Though I can hear them on speaker and headphone.
So now I want to give to company service center so what should I do?
1.Flash the phone with custom rom or
2.Unroot and install all those preinstalled manufacturer apps
I would like to do the second method.So my question is in which method I can fake that device was not rooted so I can reclaim my warranty? suggest if there is another method and how does the manufacturer come to know if i rooted the phone?
Try a factory custom rom. Then remove root. Most manfacturers dont care though.

Well put them back then. And then find a zip or an app that unroots the phone.

Unroot your phone and give it to service center.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
There are two solutions
1.you could find another member with your phone and get the apps that you deleted and unroot and give it to service!
Or
2. You could flash stone random rom and brick you device completely and give it back to service saying that it won't start up and hope they don't find out!
Personally I'd suggest you go for 1

U have a hardware problm
Why would they count the number of stock apps
Just unroot
And do a hard reset
Dun worry

try updating it to 4.0.3 which has better battery performance
which rom did yu update to.
Som roms have alot of customizations which will run down the battery fast if not set to manual start. like email, sync and a few other apps.
Hey, what a wonderful help . Im using 4.0.1. I really got a feeling that my ROM drain my battery. To be honest , I have some knowledge about computer , could you simply guide a little bit on how I can switch my ROM from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3 ?

I just tried to update it by going to setting and hit software update and then it says the phone got the update file and tells me that the phone will be rebooted. However , after the booting it says the phone failed to update and suggested I use something like kies or visit Samsung Service center

Simply flash a rom based on 4.0.3.
Is flashing risky ?

Alright, so I had efs problem two days back. No imei and network. So I restored to stock and problem was sorted. But now if I try to install and i9100 based stock jb port, I end up with a black screen. Even other roms ported from i9100 cause the same problem. Any kind of help would be great.

Failed on odin
Failed in Odin? Click the link in my signature and follow that.
Just a hint, if you want to get help, you need to give us something to go on.
What have you tried to fix it already? What is the current status of the phone? Ie, does it boot, or can you only access recovery or download mode? 'failed on Odin' could mean anything.

Don't have to call me 'sir', I'm just an ordinary bloke like you LP7 is not specific to any country. So it will work with philippines too. To find the firmware you should flash, search on Samfirmware.com for the correct phone model, country, and carrier you're on. Then, flash it in Odin. If it fails again, click the link in my signature and then follow those for troubleshooting steps. There's no "magic fix", it'll take some effort on your part.
