help!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I updated my Sgs3 through pc kies. Everything just went great. It successfully updated. But nothing changed visually. About device still shows android 4.1.2 . And when I try update through my phone now it shows latest updates already installed. But before updating it through kies. It used to say something like " update service is for those who order" I forgot the exact text but something like that used to appear. Have I screwed my device? Am I going to get updated when it's officially announced for s3?

Not every update changes the android version. In fact 95% of updates DONT change the android version. It's the Samsung build number that changes. Eg XXEMB1 ETC

You wont get new feature's until 4.2 update its not yet released .

"help!!!" is not the correct title to have. The title should describe your problem.

How would we know when you don't even tell us which region you live in? It was 4.1.2, but we don't know which.

Same issue for me since the first time with this phone. No trouble, it works fine. I don't know what is ERI !
I want to know if this is normal, Or should there be a version displayed under ERI. I have no issues with the phone, all functions are normal. But i think there would be some issues when the phone while roaming.
Don't think mine has ever showed anything there, bit like never showing my phone number.
All works perfect and if yours does I would not worry too much

Its normal .
But if your phone starts speaking Polish then worry .

It is normal and it was same in ICS but you did not note it in ICS
Same!

Hey there! Well my boyfriend have the same issue! The "problem" is that when he wants to update the software, appears "ERI not avaible". So if he wants to update firmare, he need to do in with Odin because trought OTA (from device) he cannot do it...
Sorry my english sucks.. i know

Very simple answer .
JB has been released for Poland only.
No others have been updated .
More details contact Samsung or try a Samsung forum .

https://twitter.com/samkiesupdates has a pretty nice overview of what phones have Kies updates available.
It really is out!
JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!
See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg
I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!
I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.
I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!
Really annoyed!!!
well that poland seems like test 1

Thanks. I just found a forum with other users experiencing exactly the same as me, so at least I know enough to get on with the rest of my life. ah well, false alarm on the JellyBean front. Sorry folks.
Thanks everyone. You guys cleared my doubts i knew i could count on xda and its members.
Should be this month, apparently... although it's hardly the first rumour with a confirmation from Sammy with no official release date.

I dont know if this polish version is really an official but i have been using jelly bean on a note II and ny feeling is that it is smoother and less bug in the note II

Apparently the Polish version is a test release, (release candidate) I would assume there is a note in the terms and conditions stating it may contain bugs. not 100% sure on this.
So we could get that exact same version when it eventually rolls out to the rest of the EU, or it could be a bug fix version, either way it's obviously close to a full EU release and nothing much will be different if anything.
Personally I'm just waiting for the official EU release, but if you can't wait, there's no harm in installing the Polish version (providing you follow the relevant directions of course)
i also have the I9300XXLH1 baseband and no new updates i realy hope the final jb rom will have the multi tasking that the note II got 2 days ago

The best is that you go to sammobile.com
There's a page for firmware
Search the respective firmware and download it
Usually the firmware's size is around 850mb
Flash it via odin
There's a lot of tutorials for how to update firmware via odin

Why is everyone so excited abt 4.3 ota? Wait for a week after it is released. Search google. If there isnt any bugs. Then install it.
