official update blocked - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i have 2 phones S3.
Today i got a message on both to download the official update firmware.
The first S3 the download process was broken due to server connection problem. The update was not downloaded and not installed. Now if i try to check for update i found no update avaiable...
The second S3 was updated successfull and i have a different firmware version.
How can i unblock first S3 to get official update ?
thank you

[Q] Official Jelly Bean update galaxy s3

Good morning
I'm new to this forums, please be gentle. I bought my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Amazon and I'm now wondering when I'll get the official jelly bean update? I know Three (UK) has started rolling it out, but I'd have thought that Samsung would have an update for unlocked phones ready beforehand?
Anyone can advise how/when/where to get the official update? will I have to install Kies? or just go to settings-->about phone-->software update?
Cheers

Ull get it in the nect few days

Your updates will come soon. But if you want to update it manually with the latest JB versions.. you can go to sammobile.com and flash via odin. no need for root

You have to wait till the update servers become less congested or you can download the firmware from Samfirmware and flash it

Why so eager to update to JB?
Have you seen the countless complaints from software reviews on the Market about how this and that doesn't work in JB?
Sounds like the developers need more time to iron out bugs to adapt to JB.
Guess it doesn't matter if your phone is just for ****s and giggles, but beware if it's your practical phone.
Many of us have been running JB for months with few or no problems .

Update via Kies or Odin, I have had this message every update sometimes days after an update never had one OTA work for me.

Hi delsus.
Kies has been a pain for me so far as when it connects to my phone it won't show the current firmware version and give me the option to upgrade. I wanted to try Odin (I haven't rooted my S3) but I wondered if it would void my warranty in any way if I flashed the official UK unlocked update. Do you have any idea?
Thanks

[Q] rooted S3 can't update official JB

I rooted my Galaxy S3 the other day with the intention of installing one of the JB rom's out there. I thought as my S3 was not locked that the official JB update would be a little way off yet. Yesterday I find the official JB being pushed to my phone. It went through the update process and then said it could not update because my phone had been modified. I checked the rom version and it is now 4.1.1 so it seems to have actually updated everything apart from the interface which is still ICS.
Is there a way to get around this? If I do a factory reset will that wipe the root? Or can I do something to hide the root from the update?
All advice much appreciated.

Thanks for that. didn't realise the interfaces were the same. Was expecting a bit of a facelift but then I guess it's what's under the hood that counts.
It did say it couldn't update the software because the phone was modified so I am wondering what, if anything I am missing.
One thing I did notice pretty much straight away was the battery seems to be running down quicker. Could be my imagination of course but I will test it over the next few days to be certain.
flash any stock Rom and change csc

Rooting will not stop you from updating OTA through KIES. It wont update through direct OTA.
Update via Kies or download the DLJ4 and flash with odin.You will have the same result

Four hours after idiots stop asking XDA when will they get JB update and not before .Twenty third repetitive Indian to ask this question today and not search .
F44444 all to do with XDA this question ask Samsung or your phone provider .

Yes it is out. It will be available on kies and ota. If you're impatient check sammobile to download and flash it. Use CSC as INU.
Mods can please close this thread.

[Q] orange romania sgs3 OTA update 25.01.2013?

Hey guys. Got a message about some 7 mb ota update today. It downloaded, got to the point where it said something like phone will reboot in 30 seconds to install the update. After 30 seconds, whenbit should have restarted, i get a pop up message with software update saying that checking for updates or something, the message you get when you try to manually update software and it is looking for possible update. I restarted the phone and i get the same message. I am on stock 4.1.2 ELL1 from orange romania, rooted

You cannot update as your phone vendor / country has not pushed out an update yet .

I got that OTA message without doing anything, so i think the update is available in my country. If
Not, why did i get it in the first place? It was a message from the software update server, wasnt it?

Ok. Then why does kies say i have the latest version of the software? Shouldnt any OTA update be available via kies also?

Orange Romania customizes the ROM in a way that can not get OTA updates. I don't jbow anyone whi could make OTA updates with ORO firmware o Galaxy S/ S II / S III.
Just make them euth kies. Maybe you need to restore the firmware from kies if you get that error wher you have a new version available but you are up to date.
AFAIK ORO did not released another update. Their latest is LL1
