You could update you Rom on the official way.
Install Samsung kies on your pc and connect your device with the pc. Kies should guide you through the update.

You can also

If kies says that there is no update available it means that the ics update is probably not released in your country.
You could wait till its official available or take the unofficial way and flash a custom rom.

use unofficial ways like installing cyanogenmod.. the kies update comes with touchwiz wich sux for me.. dont know about you...

Gingerbread update from Froyo..

can i upgrade my froyo into gingerbread without even rooting my phone?. when i connect my phone to a computer, and then the samsung kies tells me that there is no any firmware version upgrade available for my phone.. anyone can help?
depends on which phone you are using. if it is a captivate on att the lady said that when the update is available you will get an over the air update message
You will only be able to update your phone without rooting when the manufacturer and your carrier decide you can
my phone is Glaxy i9000 S. not the captivate nor wifi. the SuperAMOLED one.
and how will i know if my manufacturer and carrier if they allow me to upgrade?

Or you can alternatively downloade the gingerbread rom for your region/country's device from www.samfirmware.com and flash it manually using Odin Multidownloader ...

[Q] Help updating Galaxy S3

Alright so i recently got a Galaxy S3 and rooted and flashed a leaked jellybean ROM onto it. Now that the official jelly bean has come out i want to update but i cant because kies says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". so next i tried FOTA but that didnt work either: it said "Your device has been modified, software updates are not supported".
And of course i downloaded triangle away and that didnt work, ive tried flashing the official jelly bean update but it didnt boot so i was forced to restore from my modded backup. And ive re-installed kies twice.
any help would be appreciated.
my device is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T with vodafone australia currently running the DLH9 hawkish premium light ROM.
Cheers.

I would think your best bet would be to go back to the Galaxy S3 ICS stock rom and then use Kies to update it from there. A lot of the official updates will refuse to do anything if /system has been messed with.

[Q] Help required for Noob!!!!

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to android world.
I have purchased unlocked Optus Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) from Australia and currenlty i am using it in India with Airtel. My mobile is installed with ICS 4.0.4.
I want Offical Jelly Bean firmware in my mobile.
Can i install Official Jelly Bean Rom released in SPAIN? Will it lock the the mobile after i install this ROM?
Or If i need to wait for Jellybean to realese in my region, Did i able to update Australian Version or Indian Version of Jellybean ROM or only the OPTUS version of ROM through Samsung Kies?
Please help me on this request.
Thanks,
Arun Panneerselvam
yes, you can install the jellybean from spain and no it will not lock your phone.
The choice is up to you. You try one of the custom roms on this site or wait for an official version through kies.
Updating kies may not happen this year because the roll out for jelly bean wil be uneven, no one knows what countries will get and when or if they will get jellybean at all.
Before installing you have to root your device,
then check and search on internet for your original rom (it could be useful if you need to send it to assistance in warranty)
If the phone is branded usually official updates came from carriers ,and often they need more time to release update after the unbranded is released since they want to put on it their customizations

What the devil are you talking about? You don't need to root in order to install the stock Samsung Jelly Bean firmware.
