[Q] software update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

recently I've been getting a notification that new software update is ready for my phone but when I try to install it the operation
stops at 28% and then I get that the update failed
I have a rooted galaxy S3 GT - I9300; but without the stock messaging app (It was deleted when I accidentally restored galaxy S2 stock app on my new S3 )
what should I do? I keep getting the software update notification that wont go-away until I install it and keep getting the same result.
every help is appreciated.

OTA doesn't work on rooted phones. Use kies or unroot

[Q] [Question] Android 4.1.2 Requesting to Update Push Service (GT-I9300)

Hi,
I've been notified several times to update the "Push Service", but when I touch to install it through the notification bar it just goes back to the main screen and nothing happens and there's no download at all.
I have an SIII GT-I9300 with unbranded 4.1.2 JB and rooted.
Any idea why is not updating it?
Thanks,

[Q] Non-UK purchased S3 Modified Error

Hi all
I have a user at work who purchased an S3 in the US and has since been using it fine in the UK, but now when trying to update the software there is an error of - This device has been modified no updates available, also when using Kies I still cannot update the software for them:
- The S3 has never had an SD Card, and still doesn't have one
- It has never been rooted, simply used out of the box
I've tried booting it into safe mode and wiping the cache but still no joy
Thanks

[Q] Galaxy S3 I9305 KitKat 4.4.4 Stock Rom strange rooting problem

Hi there, guys! Yesterday I upgraded the rom on my Galaxy I9305 FROM 4.3 to 4.4.4 KitKat with Odin on my laptop, after that I rooted it also with Odin. The 4.3 was release for Orange operator and now it is German 4.4.4 if it matters. So after the root and starting the phone a message appeared supersu cannot start or so, which is normal, so I've entered in Google play and tried to update supersu', but it only give me an option to open it, but when I do it crashes with the same message. Tried to install it manually from the phone memory, but without success, it tries to instal, but then it shows that the app is not installed. The app supersu is in the device/system folder anyway and cannot be deleted ( I tried with hard reset). So I've tried to reroot the phone with odin, but none of my laptops recognizes the phone anymore, it charges, but that's all a message that the hardware cannot be regnized appears. I have another Galaxy S3, that connects easly with all my laptops so I'm guessing that the supersu app is involved. And YES I tried to reinstal the drivers and Samsung kies. I've rooted LG, Sony and my other Glaxy s3 which is i9300 enough times to know how to doit again, but never had that kind of a problem. I hope that someone here can help me. Thank you!
There was that one thing that I didn't try, that did the job finally: I Installed the supersu app but this time from the system/app folder, after that it tried to disable knox but without success, so I have rebooted the phone, but then supersu app was unable to start again, so I installed it one more time ( it works only if I install it from system/app folder) and this time disabled knox successfully.After that the connection with my laptop was piece of cake. That's all, this thread can be locked!
