I recently had to update a samsung from 4.1 to 4.3 too, and i had to install about 8 updates.This is because Samsung is also pushing updates that remove bugs and security issues from their version of android.

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.

Update to 4.2 stuck at 2%

First I've tried to update my firmware S3 with WIFI and I never got the download.
Then I try to update using Kies. The download has been stuck at 2% for over 3 hours. I can't disconnect the usb cable and I can't cancel the download. What now ? What happens if I disconnect the cable ? I don't want to brick my phone, I didn't even make a backup.
what? there's not official 4.2 update for the s3 from samsung.

It has to be, I got the update by notification, I didn't give too much attention to it when I started the update but I was running 4.1, that I am sure of.
must be 4.1.2... dont think you got 4.2 official on your S3 (aint released)

nope, it's still 4.1.2! samsung has not made any official announcement to push 4.2.1 to the S3.
so just because there's an update != 4.2.1
*facepalm*
that's not the problem, the problem is that it is stuck. what am I looking at if I disconnect the cable? how do I fix this ?
it is cos there is not official 4.2 update: if there was samsung would have announced it would have been bringing it to the S3 and no such announcement was made.
and now it all sounds fishy!
You can get the latest firmware from sammobile and flash it via Odin

It's not. He only said it was 4.2 because he thought so.
I unplugged the phone this morning and it's fine, didn't lose anything.

This is what the update was about.

[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.
Thanks for the reply

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.

Note that, This firmware is on test-mode and being tested by Samsung, its build number is I9100XXLSJ, but is seemingly stable and not far from the final version that Samsung will be rolling out soon

Lucky you.

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.
