Download the 4.1.2 firmware (if it is released for your region) from Sammobile.com and flash through ODIN. You'll have to re-root again, though.
Cheers!

Download 4.1.2 firmware from any link. Install Mobile Odin. Flash using Mobile Odin and check the Everroot checkbox. Once done you will have all updates and root intalled on your device.
Will that delete data like apps or contacts etc?

contacts and Apps normally not. (Only you factory reset the phone, then apps will be erased) Flashing so many firmwares but never erasing contacts.
hi, to be fear i had the same problem and all i had to do was to update the firmware using the Samsung kies...once you connect the phone to your computer, will have to open the Samsung kies and the program will automatically ask you if you want to update your firmware; and if you don't know how to get the Samsung kies you will have to go on the samsung website and check in the download section. I hope that I have been enough helpful to you and to anyone else that had or have the same problem :laugh: .

He's rooted. Kies won't update it. Kies will only update when it's unmodified, and CSC matches.

You don't need to root your phone to upgrade it to 4.1.2
Just download a 4.1.2 ROM from sammobile.com and flash through ODIN and you're good to go.

my s3 is presently running ics 4.0.4. it is carrier free. i'm trying to flash XXELLA through odin. so it checks md5 successfully but fails to open serial port and obviously i get a "FAIL". any help?
Did you install kies on your comp, kies have driver for your s3, i think odin didnt recognize your s3, that's why its failed, try installing kies first then try again

nope: it is recognized by kies (for which the device is up to date in my country). the firmware is ok, I flashed it already on another s3. the message is "cannot open serial port"
EDIT : sorry folks, I just forgot kies running; that's why the serial port was not available for flashing. now everything's fine

Hi,
Today I received an OTA update on Galaxy S II (India). It contained Android 4.1.2 (JB). Update went smoothly without a glitch.
But now, after setting "Software Update" on my device, it says, "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available."
What went wrong.?
How can I rectify the problem.?
Thanks.
Note: I have never rooted my phone with custom ROMs. Also, in download mode custom binary download is: NO. No triangle anywhere.
Mate forget about kies best way go to sammobile.com download rom u want flash using odin and enjoy . kies is rubish

who cares there won't be an update in ages so until 4.2.2 you can get it by flashing it using odin
I have flashed a rooted stock tom in Samsung galaxy s3 mini and now I can't connect my phone with kids. I wanted to ask the benefits of kies and how I can use it again.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone answer
kies is samsung's own proprietary software to be used for backing up your data,, contacts etc.. And to upgrade your firmware whenever Samsung releases newer version of Android...

Kies before connecting whether the device status is genuine or not. Since you have already rooted and installed custom ROM , kies will not recognize your device.
Kies makes it easy to transfer / backup your media files, contacts, e.t.c.
You need to install official firmware for your device in case you want it to be recognized via Kies. You can refer sammobile.com for more details.

I don't have a custom rom I have the stock one rooted. But I read that I can use kies only if I have a rom from my country. Where can I find this rom? If I root this rom by flashing superSU will kies be available?
Thanks.

After Rooting Kies will not recognize your device. You can find the firmware for your country from sammobile.com and it will be genuine samsung firmware.:victory:

I cant really find the thread with the new fix for jelly bean 4.3 I went back in the threads
until nov 25.
could u show me where it is?
General forum, at the top are sticky threads, 4.3 discussion, is the one you are looking for.
Be careful, it's very easy to brick your phone with impatience.
Also, no-one has posted the update zip so you are looking at flashing a custom Rom and voiding your warranty if you want it really bad.

I did try to flash my rom before without problems, but after I install jelly bean 4.3 the other day with Odin
I did try to root my phone afterwards, but I cant connect to Odin in download mode, I have read everything in google, what to do and nothing works so i give up that part.
thats why I just want the update.zip because I dont know when OTA will release it on my phone, and I get crazy of the issues the 4.3 has.
I just thought the update was released as a file, so I could use Odin to update it, because I read that.
If your ask was for an update from OTA in zip format then the answer is no .
But as you dont give any details of this fix then i may be wrong .
All the 4.3 information is posted including a repacked flash-able dump .

jelly bean 4.3 samsung push out was suspended, coz of huge errors in it,
they made a update fix and that one I would like to install, so I can get rid of the big errors in jelly bean 4.3.
but I guess I just wait for OTA to update my S3
I've installed just the updated kernel from MK6, which fixes 95% of the problems with 4.3

thx a lot, the problem I have now is I cant connect to Odin in download mode. its a known problem in the forums. this jelly bean 4.3 have ruin that feature, coz the way I install 4.3 was throgh Odin and no problem, so I know the problem is at my phone.
coz I try several pcs and cables, and reinstall drivers, no need to tell all, coz its everywhere. and there is many ppl out there, who have same problem and they gave up, its a shame.
Mobile Odin. Or flash a stock Rom through cwm/trwp in a zip format. You didn't say if you want it bk to stock or not.

the only thing I know is, if I need to install that zip file, so I need to reboot my phone into recovery mode and I cant do that coz my phone isnt rooted anymore and i cant root it again, coz no connection to odin in download mode.
I am not prof in all this, but this jelly bean 4.3 have really made things difficult coz of the issues it has.

4.3 does not break download mode, use odin to flash rooted rom. If it won't connect then you have some other issue, most likely your pc. Search and learn how to fix it.

Hello,
I did root my at&t galaxy note 1 device using instructions available from a thrid party website. I was successful.
Now when I connect my device to the compute, Samsung Kies informs me that there is a update version 4.1.2 available.
My question is:
1)Is it safe for me to update the version through Kies?
2) If there is a compatiable version of KitKat available for Note 1, where and how can I update it?
3) Is ROM nothing but the new version of Operating system?
Thank you
Nepo

The update is nothing new. Dont know what you were running, but upgrade is just touchwiz JB. May lose root with update, so it could just be a cycle thing. Its all a mute point if your goal was to flash custom rom. Everything custom is an upgrade from stock.

Thank you for your reply.
Kies messages is :
Current Version 4.0.4
Upgrade Version 4.1.2.
I just want to check that this doesnt brick my phone
Thank you
4.0.4 is ice cream sandwich. 4.1.2 is jellybean. If kies allows you to update then you will only have to reroot your phone as you did before.
