Most probably there isn't a 4.3 update for your country available yet.

Why is everyone so excited abt 4.3 ota? Wait for a week after it is released. Search google. If there isnt any bugs. Then install it.

Updates!! Help

If You Are on 3 network in Ireland/England then please reply.
I've read that some ppl on 3 network have gotten s3 updates already and im still on the stock update, does anyone know about the release dates for the updates on 3?
Are you still running the stock firmware or have you rooted your device? For reference, if it's rooted, you will no longer receive OTA updates and will have to install them yourself.

Forget about otas and flash the firmware yourself, its the only way to have the latest firmware available.

https://twitter.com/samkiesupdates has a pretty nice overview of what phones have Kies updates available.
It really is out!
JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!
See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg
I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!
I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.
I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!
Really annoyed!!!
well that poland seems like test 1

Thanks. I just found a forum with other users experiencing exactly the same as me, so at least I know enough to get on with the rest of my life. ah well, false alarm on the JellyBean front. Sorry folks.
Thanks everyone. You guys cleared my doubts i knew i could count on xda and its members.
Should be this month, apparently... although it's hardly the first rumour with a confirmation from Sammy with no official release date.

I dont know if this polish version is really an official but i have been using jelly bean on a note II and ny feeling is that it is smoother and less bug in the note II

Will it be a new version when it's released officially?

Apparently the Polish version is a test release, (release candidate) I would assume there is a note in the terms and conditions stating it may contain bugs. not 100% sure on this.
So we could get that exact same version when it eventually rolls out to the rest of the EU, or it could be a bug fix version, either way it's obviously close to a full EU release and nothing much will be different if anything.
Personally I'm just waiting for the official EU release, but if you can't wait, there's no harm in installing the Polish version (providing you follow the relevant directions of course)
i also have the I9300XXLH1 baseband and no new updates i realy hope the final jb rom will have the multi tasking that the note II got 2 days ago

OTA Updates not working

Quite some time ago I rooted my S2 to get it unlocked. I then shortly after unrooted and flash ICS onto it when it was first due to be released. Ever since it does not ever find any updates.
Can anyone help with why this may be?
whin ics was firsted released from this site was never considered official, just leaked firmware. OTA updater will not recognize leaked software it is not stock, it was modified slightly.
You would need to find a stock ics which was releaed about mid 2012. Flash that and OTA should work.

[Q] Jelly bean update roll out

Hi All,
I wish to know how does Jelly bean update roll out work for Samsung Galaxy S3? Since i'm new to this forum, i couldn't find answer for my question. My Galaxy is a factory unlocked pebble blue one. + anybody can tell what is the best way to update the phone? via Kies or FOTA?
Thanks.
for the most part yes. or you might just root and install the official rom

Sorry, i didn't get that?
The rollout is in progress .
Exact dates for your phone ask Samsung or your phone provider ..
As this is XDA Developers we don't do official updates preferring to flash stock roms or custom .
Kies or OTA your choice when the official Samsung updates roll out for your phone .

Hi.
I just want to know JB update for Samsung depends on what? For an example, for Sony it has SI code. Sony's updates depend on their SI code? Like wise how does Samsung do?

Based upon HDSWVER codes from the phone to match a firmware on the update server ..
Updates depend upon the phone provider having supplied the update server with new firmware .
A Samsung forum may have more information .

4.1 Update in The U.K? How to push to device?

I've got a Galaxy S2. I'm in the U.K and the phone is not network locked, still waiting for 4.1? Anyway to push it through OTA?

Not until they put out an official UK release of 4.1.2. Just flash one of the available ones from the development section or using ODIN for an official release, just change your CSC if you really need to
If you dont know what you are doing, you should just wait for the official UK one to come out.
I thought it was already out via OTA in the U.K?
