[Q] Official Jelly Bean update galaxy s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
C

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

anyone has any problems sending emails from Hotmail on 4.1.1 from the native mail app?
receiving emails seems to be okay.. but I get a 'Sending failed' when I try to send an email.

help using kies to update

Hello. I'm a spanish Galaxy s2 user. Since I learn to change Roms whith Odin, I've tried several Roms, all of them official. Now I'd like someone to tell me how to update using Kies again. I mean, if I'm using a 4.0.3 official Rom and I want to update to 4.1 official in september-october, what should I do to do update through Kies again?
I think that I have to use a 4.0.3 official spanish Rom, but I'm not sure.​Thank you so much.
You need to use stock rom from your carrier.

Well when it gets released you can download it from WWW.sammobile.com. or you can revert back to GB with your stock firmware and wait for the ota update nearer to when its going to be released.
Have you considered shooting and updating to a jb rom now? Rootbox is stable and amazing. I would recommend it

My carrier is Vodafone Spain but my phone is unlocked since its birthday.

Thanks anyway.

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 .

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

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.

Ya ur true...... but iam talking about OTA update

OTA is out too depending on ur imei. There are couple of threads how you can force update.

Can u tell me how to force OTA UPDATE.. because i dont have pc with me
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Force update is thru kies. You just have to wait it out if you dont have a pc. There is no schedule published. so no point guessing on update. Just keep checking in settings>about device> system update
Thats y i started this thread.... to know when ota update is going to hit india.... and iam pointing out samsung for their poor customer service

this is not a samsung forum dude.. you can do that on sammy website.
