Wrong forum.
Btw,to fix that,you need to flash stock official ROM via odin.

Did you root your device, or modify it's software in any way ? If so, you won't be able to get the update, at least not using the official way.
But if i were you, I wouldn't even want to update to 4.3.

OTA Updates not working

Quite some time ago I rooted my S2 to get it unlocked. I then shortly after unrooted and flash ICS onto it when it was first due to be released. Ever since it does not ever find any updates.
Can anyone help with why this may be?
whin ics was firsted released from this site was never considered official, just leaked firmware. OTA updater will not recognize leaked software it is not stock, it was modified slightly.
You would need to find a stock ics which was releaed about mid 2012. Flash that and OTA should work.

[Q] Jelly bean update roll out

Hi All,
I wish to know how does Jelly bean update roll out work for Samsung Galaxy S3? Since i'm new to this forum, i couldn't find answer for my question. My Galaxy is a factory unlocked pebble blue one. + anybody can tell what is the best way to update the phone? via Kies or FOTA?
Thanks.
for the most part yes. or you might just root and install the official rom

Sorry, i didn't get that?
The rollout is in progress .
Exact dates for your phone ask Samsung or your phone provider ..
As this is XDA Developers we don't do official updates preferring to flash stock roms or custom .
Kies or OTA your choice when the official Samsung updates roll out for your phone .

Hi.
I just want to know JB update for Samsung depends on what? For an example, for Sony it has SI code. Sony's updates depend on their SI code? Like wise how does Samsung do?

Based upon HDSWVER codes from the phone to match a firmware on the update server ..
Updates depend upon the phone provider having supplied the update server with new firmware .
A Samsung forum may have more information .

U can't install jelly bean update in other countries.
U have to do it manually with idin software.

no update, no sim
Hi Guys
My friend is having the same problem however he doesn't have a SIMcard just yet. turned on his device and connected to wireless, checked for updates and it reports with no updates available for his device...bought the device in Australia. he doesnt don't get a SIMcard for another 2 weeks. Will he get updates once he insert his SIMcard or will he have to update via odin?
i was under the impression that Samsung will update their devices and then push it to our service providers to then push the update out to the user?
is this even correct?
Thanks
U can get the update even without sim card. Just download Samsung Kies on your laptop and connect your phone and upgrade the firmware using Kies.
This will do the update to jellybean

lol :silly: im not sure you know whats going on....
I have a NEW Samsung Galaxy S3 bought from Kogan Australia...
Out of the box it came with Android 4.0.4
I know jellybean (4.1.1) is available for the S3
FIRST i checked the phone for updates...Said my phone was all up to date.
Then plugged in my phone using Kies....Kies said the same thing.
Then went and had a look at the model number (BTW Kies didn't ask me for model number it figures it out on its own)
Turns out i got a GT-I9300A
Then searched the net for a Samsung galaxy GT-I9300A...Nothing came up.
Then decided to comment on XDA because i thought someone might know whats going on.
Found out i was wrong!

I had the same problem as you when I bought my s3 two weeks ago. I am from the philippines and the s3 I bought had a different region (kenya). Kenya is still pending on jellybean update. I could not update via OTA. It always says that it is up to date. Tried kies, same thing. I decided to flash via Odin the Samsung official firmware 4.1.1 from sammobile, choosing my country among the list. After flashing I did a factory reset which then registered my s3 to my country. All is well now as I am registered to my local network and can receive OTAs. And warranty is not voided.
Note : be sure your s3 is GT-I9300 unlock. HTH.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was my s3 was factory sim unlock (open line). I did not mean bootloader unlocked. If you have used different Sims then your good to go. Don't unlock the bootloader if you're going to flash official firmware, to keep warranty.

There is no JB update for Iran yet. If you want to have your JB experience then you have to download other countries' firmware then flash it manually. I suggest the UK-BTU version or rather go for Poland-XEO which is 4.1.2

[Q] Kies doesn't recognise curent firmware version.

Hi to all.
I seem to have a problem with samsung kies. I have a GT-I9100 international with android 4.0.4 and i read that an update to jelly bean might be available. Connected my phone via usb and it connected with all the features working accept the showing of the firmware option and option to check for updates. Note that i have already updated the phone using kies once. Can anyone help me with my problem here.
Thanks

I think we've been thru this already, but well:
JB update is not rolling yet.
I think I get your problem, but I just don't get your question.
Tried update/reinstall kies?

I updated/reinstalled it but still doesn't work. In fact this happened to me when i was on android 2.3.6 but somehow it went off by itself.
I get many of those problems with kies.

np.
Now, you gotta clean your device's drivers from your pc. All you need is a clean uninstall right from the root and all should be fine.
Re-Download Kies from the samsung's site and let it update, reboot your pc and plug your device.
Might also wanna check another usb's socket/cable.
Hi,
I check here for the official updates for Samsung, and when I check it here, it still says there no official update yet released for SII.
Samsung has released Jelly Bean update for SIII only.

4.1 Update in The U.K? How to push to device?

Not until they put out an official UK release of 4.1.2. Just flash one of the available ones from the development section or using ODIN for an official release, just change your CSC if you really need to
If you dont know what you are doing, you should just wait for the official UK one to come out.
I thought it was already out via OTA in the U.K?
