Cannot find update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but I promise I have tried to find a solution prior to posting here.
This morning I have received the notification of software update I guess to JB and I have selected cancel download by mistake. Since then I cannot get the update back on my phone, I have tried scanning for the update and all sorts but nothing seems to work.
Anyone here have any idea how to get the phone back to update? I would prefer not to use kies if possible.

Hi
Menu> settings> about device> system updates?
Or maybe a reboot.

Hi tried both but no luck, thanks for response though

Keep auto update on maybe? If not then dont worry. Its probably just some bug fixes. If your desperate tho maybe you can find the stock rom updated v. And flash it in odin

You're welcome.
If it's any consolation it won't be Jellybean update as the rumour mill suggests there won't be an official JB release until late August.

Jelly bean isnt planned for any device yet. They still havnt released a bug fix update. That comes first until everythings fixed. After that then they update the os v. Its always been like that

If you couldn't download the update manually, just wait. It'll come again in a day or two.

My phone says there is an update, but the server is too busy

Is this it? Could it be the long awaited ICS?
If so, I hope the GPS bug from the last leak is fixed.
"Current software is up to date" is all I see.
Anybody else? I am in Canada on Bell, on Team Perfection rom so I cannot verify anything here.
More than likely not ics.
Way to tell us what carrier you are on, OP.
Current Software is up to date
ATT US
Pics, or it didn't happen.

nothing from KIES or checking OTA with ATT. Software is up to date.
Happened on mine the other day (USA ATT), but my guess is that is the default message that appears when you check for a software update with weak/fringe cellular service.
I attached a screencap of the message.
Trust me its not it lol

I had the same thing the other day. Happened when I received my replacement phone from At&t.

Every damn time someone's phone can't reach the server, we have to see a thread about it.
Hey at&t, the wording of that message sucks and confuses people.
It happened to me the other day.... I checked xda and there were no party-popers going off so I cried :crying: a little and figured it was a false alarm
I doubt it will come OTA. More likely on Kies like the SGSII on ATT.
Update
my Korean Galaxy note is trying to update with a 34.75MB update i am not sure what it is as my phone will not take it because it is rooted and has a custom recovery. The phone reboots to install the update but fails. Any Ideal what I can do ?

Looks like sony may be getting ready to release a new firmware for us
As for the download problem just keep trying as people had this when ics was released.
I had the feeling that this is gonna happen today This is the bugfix we were talking about!
I hope that there is the battery percentage in the statusbar as seen on the P :fingers crossed:

Edit: well that was an anticlimax, turns out I spoke well to soon and was too faced with the no software exists problem after the it download the required files which is strange in itself.
Sorry
This one was indeed planned to be rolled out today. There should be more regions available later, but it might take a few hours/days for most countries to have the update available.
well i just care about the ftf file!
I am on LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740 at the moment, so if you're desperate flash that and then keep checking to see if it starts to work, because I am guessing it must be close....hopefully
Just gonna sit here and wait for a .ftf too

I think you have to re-lock the bootloader before using PC Companion/Sony Update Service.
Also, today is the only day I haven't brought the USB cable to work with me.

Weird update?

Hello.
When I woke up this morning, my phone wanted to update. Since I've heard that there will be an update to Galaxy S2 to 4.1.1 in November, I got really excited and ran the update.
It rebooted and optimized my apps and all that.
When it was finished, nothing looked different. I checked in the "about" in the settings, and it's still 4.0.4. If that's so, then what the heck did it update???

you would have been in 4.0.3 ICS ....so the update was released for 4.0.4 in many countries.....and you would have been notified....Its a wipe free update so everything will remain the same after updating......but the performance is increased a lot.....
hit thanks....

Uhm... He said update is STILL 4.0.4 which means he already had it... That didn't help much.
And as for OP, considering we don't know which rom version you had and now which you have, there's no way to guess what your update did. Must be a very minor change.

I also got the update, but since I am running a custom kernel, the update failed.
Some people says it's an update from XWPLW to XWPLX. Did you check your build number?

Yeah, I was on the original 4.0.4 from the beginning. Non-rooted.
As for the build number, it's XWPLY now. Don't know what it was before... I've only had this phone for almost one month now, before I had an HTC Wildfire, that sucked. But this phone is crashing a lot, so I'm looking forward to a fix for that. Perhaps this update was a fix, because I haven't had to remove the battery all day today... We'll see.

Anyone get it yet? I saw a post by android on Google plus saying it will start today.

On Google's site it still says kit Kat is only available on nexus 5 currently so I'm not sure if this is reliable or not.

Well I. About to go to sleep. I'll leave my tablet on overnight and see if it downloads overnight. I hope it does. If not I'll be checking for updates every little but like I'm currently doing with my nexus 5 shipment. It kills me lol

Yup, it's rolling out, time to spam the check for updates button on my sister's N10 since mine is on a custom ROM.

be sure to pull the OTA before you flash it.
I still not get it
btw..that was quite surprising that can get update togather with new version of nexus 7 :angel:
I miss JBQ.. The OTA is being pushed yet we still have no factory images..
I have my tablet stock rooted. Updating will kill root for me right?

Will wait for someone to actually get the update

Yeah Im lurking waiting to see if someone can pull it that way before I start a clear fest myself .. lol
This is strange... Google said that once the 4.4 update is rolled out, it will make the factory images available but I cannot see them on developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Could be because they did not actually start with the OTA yet. Or did they? Anyone here received OTA?

Someone in another thread said they got it but they tried updating with out going back to stock recovery and got a no connection error in fast boot so I guess no one actually updated yet

The OTA file itself is in /cache. We don't even need the file, just the sha1 hash which will be in the filename, it'll look like a bunch of letters and numbers. If we have that we can reconstruct the URL and get it ourselves from google.

I would say that we do not get a update, they would not get us the update to 4.1.2, so i think that was the last update.
Now you have to flash costumroms
agreed

I would have to agree. It's a 2 year old device, not matter how you slice it. Unlikely to get anything beyond what we have today OTA. Happy to be proven wrong.
