[Q] Stuck no NAND write - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone - first post
Just tries to update to Jelly Bean using the Polish 4.1 and Odin. I have a UK Galaxy S3. In Odin, it started to progress through Nand write but then just stopped and didn't go any further. What do I do?

Flashing jelly bean beta on non rooted phone?

As the title says pretty much. Can I flash the latest jelly beam firmware leaks from Sam mobile on my galaxy s3. I currently have flashed the 4.0.4 latest firmware using odin and want to know if it's just the same process for the latest jelly bean leaks or have I got to root and go down that path. And if I have why? I'm a bit confused I've tried to read different threads but can't find the exact answer. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Actually you can flash the jelly bean OTA unrooted. It requires you to have LH1 modem on LG8 ROM. If you have that then you can just flash the OTA package in Android recovery.

[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

Does your phone power on at all? If it does I would recommend booting into recovery mode and performing a factory reset. If this doesn't work you can flash the latest firmware to your device using Odin from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T679&pcode=TMB#firmware. Let me know if you still have questions .

You could just do a flash of a stock firmware you can download that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/stock-official-firmwares-i9100xwlsm-t2226063
or you can search for one that fits your taste (be it JB or ICS) on google.
Use odin to flash the firmware you downloaded. You can snoop around the forums regarding on how to use odin to flash a stock firmware.
I tried this stock firmware with odin (I9100XWLSD_I9100OJVLS6_I9100XXLS8_HOME.tar)...also tried factory reset,clear cache and delvik cache..but nothing worked mobile is still rebooting..
Help me please..

Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, download the 3 part firmware linked to in the thread, flash it with Odin in download mode (this will wipe your phone). Then either flash stock firmware for country/carrier if you want to stay stock, or re-root phone & restore nandroid, or flash whatever custom rom/kernel you want to run.
