The JB update just started rolling out in India a few days back and this method helps you update your Galaxy S3 to the official JB release using Kies(Easiest and the safest way) Though people over at this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33921598#post33921598 ) do say the servers are sometimes down and I personally think this was take a LOT of time.
Also, This should work in India, GS3 owners in other countries(GLOBAL + US VERSIONS) can give this a try to check whether they have the update or not. No harm done either ways.
I'd like to thank jshashwat93 for this method as I saw his post on the aforementioned thread and that's how I got my update.
NOTE: This method is pretty safe until you don't remove the phone from your computer while it's updating in Download mode. So if you do somehow manage to screw up your Device, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Here's how it goes:
1. Disconnect your phone from the computer, if you have it connected and start Kies.
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
3. After this is done, you might want to restart Kies, and from here on, we shall get to the Update process.
4. Go to Tools->Firmware Upgrade and Installation.
5. It should ask for your Model No. Enter: "GT-I9300".
6. Now it should ask for your Serial No. as Shown in the 2nd picture attached.
7. Now power off your phone and remove the back cover and then the battery.
8. The battery compartment has the IMEI number and the serial number near the Barcode. You require the Serial number.
9. The serial number is written as "S/N: XXXXXXXXX". That's an 11 character number. Write the "XXXXXXXXXXX" in the Serial Number field in the Kies pop up. (Do not write the 'S/N:/ Part)
10. Non Indian users, this is the step that makes it or breaks it for you, the next screen shows you whether or not there is an update for you and from here on, the software will download some files(Shouldn't take long)
11. After a few agreements, you should see the software now asking you to attach your phone in Download mode.
12, Make sure your phone has at least 80% battery because I am not sure whether the battery is charged in Download mode or not. And this step might take a while. The phone, from here, SHOT NOT BE DISCONNECTED or you will spoil your phone(Brick i even. Don't know the consequences)
13. By now you must havee seen that all settings and apps will be erased(In one of the agreements) so it's better to back up your data. ALTHOUGH, here's the interesting part, after my update, I saw all the apps and EVERYTHING was carried forward as it is so cheers to SAMSUNG for that.
14. ALright, Power off your device and press and hold the VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON to enter the download mode.
15. The phone should now display a warning(Check image). Press the volume up button to Continue.
16. You are now in download mode.
17. Connect your phone to your computer and start the installation(The onscreen instructions will guide you. I couldn't post screenshots because I have already updated my phone. Sorry)
18. Sit back and relax this may take a while I left it overnight and slept like a baby(LOL). Though make sure, YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE
19. You should have Jelly Bean after the update is done. No need to restart or anything as for me, it was already rebooted. And all my apps were carried here. Works absolutely perfectly. CHEERS Samsung
NOTE: This does not void the Warranty because it's been updated through Kies. So if something DOES go wrong, and you can't find a way to solve it on XDA, you can always get it repaired. Still, Don't blame me if the guy won't repair your phone.
Have fun with your new Update. Cheers
If I helped in anyway, Which I hope I did, HIT THE THANKS BUTTON INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT!!!!!!
Doesn't work mate.I tried it and I am from india. Nowhere is jb update available in india......also kies is the weirdest app ever...says no update...I tried everything you just mentioned...God knows if indian users will get it in this month or maybe next year(4.1.1)...as of 4.1.2 and multi window ,its like just give up,samsung is too busy to roll out updates...

Can't be. I live in Pune and I updated it just yesterday. Its working just fine for me. Try to see if your lies is updated or not. And probably it hasn't been rolled out for your location. Samsung, at least in the US releases OTA updates specific to locations. Might be the same case here. Oh and this only works on the stock ROM. What error are you getting?

I'm Indian too man. And I am on 4.1.1 just updated last night. I guess ota is rolled out to specific regions at a time so their servers don't crash so I don't expect people getting otas soon. Kies by default doesn't give an update either. This method is the only way to get it right now if you have it
got it...finally updated to 4.1.1
gauravdm said:
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
Its on step (2), it says "Latest Version installed". So, would this still work, if i try to update?

Also, when I'm putting in the model no. and the serial no., it gives the following error:
"The model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed"
Can someone help and let me know what the error all about?

Yes it will work.
You entered in Caps "GT-I9300" right?
See the screenshot. And check whether you entered the Correct Serial Number. All should be in caps and do not add the "S/N:" in the beginning.
So did anyone in Kolkata get the OTA update?
Also, this method probably woks but due to my slow internet connection, I don't know if I can stare at my phone that long being in download mode.

It works partially for Poland (T-mobile). It found an update, installed it, but the 4.1.1 for polish T-mobile version is surely broken. I haven't got bar at the top of the screen (the one with battery usage, time) and I couldn't set wallpaper (only black screen as background). I'm not an expert with this but I think it have something to do with odexed/deodexed ROM in the update.
I had the same issue when tried to manually install first leaked JB OTA. Good thing I could root phone and restore backup.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS METHOD!

I am just downloading a new version of KIES, very slowly - maybe able to update to froyo through this?

Downloading as well anyone know what the changes are? Wonder if it has anything to do with 2.2.
the New Version is 1.5.3.10093.31
still on ........74_45
lets see if i can get the newer one

yay! it is downloading....
odd I can't get into test mode in the new kies.

I feel like a n00b but what is test mode?
Kies offers an update, but on the downloadcenter.samsung.com has ...7_2_6.
Waiting for when it is available from there.
here the version #1.5.3.10093.31 still downloading so not sure what changes there are.
Done updating. A little change on the GUI. No firmware update offered yet.
yuppp mines updating toooo
I'm stuck on 1.5.1.10074_2 and I'm not being offered an update.
first change " test mode is gone " no more ctrl + alt + u + p
I have a error message after update...
"Provide value an 'System.static.RescourceExtension' threw an exception
...and the bldy Kies-CRAP is crashing
I am soon back to to Apple, Samsung is just good in selling hardware!
Test mode is removed in new KIES builds to avoid norty little rapscallions accessing shonky EFS smashing builds like JPC for instance lol
Thanks for the heads up... Downloading now!

I'm not being offered the new Kies too! Maybe it's a location thing.
Perhaps it's still possible to enable test mode in registry, and they just diabled the keypress. I'm updating now, will check if there are other differences (like disable the registryhack, that would be evil)
EDIT: Registryhack still works fine (changing HIDSWVER and ProductCode is still enough to "trick" it). They added an extra check on the CSC (which is also displayed on the update screen now). I can't test wether or not test mode is activated or not by changing the registry, as I don't know any firmware that currently is available only in test mode...
I wonder if someone could explain to me what this update means and how is it possible to get 2 updates whithin 24hours.

Why is it whenever i try to share with the community any new update , people seems not to believe me. I am not a developer , so how can i change the build of my phone. The only thing am good in is to use odin to install firmware on my phone . But this new update am short of word myself.
Was it anothe OTA update?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes of course , I got it this morning as soon as i switch on my phone
Has any body else got any of these updates?
I have just tried going menu/settings/about/software updates/check for updates/ but it returns with "no update available". If that was not how you got the OTA update please give the exact steps you did so others can try this out. I am in the UK on O2 running stock KF3.
If nobody else is getting these updates then my _guess_ is that you are some how getting test updates reserved for Samsung staff.
And no I don't have any inside info into thier numbering system.
Yep one person only the whole wide world gets the update . Something wrong if it was a proper OTA update many more would be posting .
jje
I agree, i believe the OP is telling lies
plain and simple..
intratech in his post# (in this thread itself) has shown that he has captured baseband version I9100KH3 but i am sure OTA is not the way right now to get this update
The OP has been flashing firmwares here and there and claiming he is getting it from OTA.... white lies black lies...all lies
It is possible that the OP is some how getting test updates reserved for Samsung staff and for Samsung testing. Samsung are not intending that these OTA updates go to his phone.
I went to the samsung website and the latest firmware download is Kies_2.0.2.11071_128.exe dated the 24th of August 2011.
I am not at home to install and test this out.

possible...and weird
Maybe my phone is mainly build for samsung update eventhough i am not samsung memeber of staff. All what i know is i have got the update via OTA this morning . I have not hacked or do anything to my phone .
I believe the update is a Samsung problem as KH3 is replaced by KH5 that was a single user OTA update .
Plus OTA has never worked for most users .
jje
This all sounds way too odd for me.
Firstly, the OP gets KH5 then suddenly he gets a DUMMY firmware OTA.
Either something is wrong with Samsung OTA updating for this device or its all a crock of s**t.
No one else had anything like this so my advise is perform a system dump and give someone that knows their stuff to look at it like a developer...PM them perhaps?
If not, I dont believe it.
Did anyone else got these OTA update? I got it today (I am in India, have a GT-P3100). It just mentions "stability improvements" in the prompt before the OTA is applied. Things do seem a bit faster now.
One welcome improvement was this option to change the screenshot QuickLaunch softkey to other things like Applications/Search/Camera or get rid of it altogether. Anyone else found any extra tweaks yet?

Other than that everything seems fine.
did it have english language?

Yes it is English.
IR Blaster / Peel does not work though as the P3100 doesn't have IR Blaster.

I flashed it on my P3113. Peel complains it is incompatible (As the model number changed to P3100 which doesnt have Infrared)
Additionally there is a phone icon on the homescreen which P3113 cant really use (lack of hardware) although you can disable that.
Not perfect, I'd wait for a proper 4.0.4 for P3113.

For me using Kies wasn't necessary. I was using the device while connected to Wifi and it downloaded the update via OTA on its own and asked me to apply it. You may want to check "Update" settings to make sure OTA is enabled. FWIW, I also had a Samsung account setup (for Samsung Dive), not sure if that affects things.
just a quick question!
i got my tab2 P3100 (4.0.3) monday morning and saw the update notif, but dint update to 4.0.4, cos i wanted to check how good i was getting battery wise etc.
Will update probably this Saturday.
My question is will this 4.0.4 work on P1000? i do know that the arch is different, but since the update installs Peel w/o the India P3100 having IR, is there a possibility that this may work?
My device is rooted, ive downloaded the new fw through Ota, but when the system reboots it comes to cwm, how can i apply the update?

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152
Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

Can't get installed. It is a 2 step update and I got a 402 error on the 2nd update. Thought from searching that I could use the built in Verizon Software Update utility but getting an incompatible Firmware error from it. The new versions aren't up on Kies yet and trying to Odin back to the previous is erroring out (though trying once more now).
So at this point I'm stuck until they release the latest through Kies or I find a chunk of time to get on the phone with Verizon tech support.
i get an error also. i even factory reset my device to see if itll go through and still a no. "Update failed, 402"

What a useless ***** on the chat. she's so stupid i don't understand how she got a job at support.
Unfortunately I suspect we are stuck until they either update the Verizon Update app to recognize the new firmware versions or Samsung releases it through Kids..... I don't remember what the normal delay is between OTA and Kies but suspect it will be a week or so.

I don't know, my 14 great old can be pretty sharp I even caught that the first time spell check "corrected" it, guess it decided even after two times I still didn't want to spell it Kies....
So here is the latest. After chatting with a helpful Verizon rep, they said that due to the device having been previously rooted (even though I had uninstalled root prior to updating) that might be causing the issue and that I'd have to talk with Samsung. The Samsung rep said that yes, the reported baseband is 5.1.1 so that is likely causing the issue that it took the 1st OTA but not the second. Unfortunately they can't update it through Smart Switch (their Kies replacement) and said I'd have to take it into a Samsung service center in a Best Buy since they'd have the tools to get it on the right firmware. Heading there today or tomorrow so will report back.....
i went to bestbuy and the samsung guy tried to be very helpful but he couldn't, his programs dont show an update for our devices yet. He wouldnt believe me when i told him im suppose to get 5.1.1. Note pro 12 doesnt have 5.1 theres no way note 10.1 is getting it is what he told me.
Then i inserted my phones sim into the note 10.1 and we checked for an update, he saw the error and he saw that there was an update 5.1.1 available for download. We tryed to update it again but it also failed.
So i went home after spending 1 hour at bestbuy without success.
The tech I met with ran a diagnostic and identified that I had a "binary mismatch" which requires 2 hours to fully reflash the device. He unfortunately didn't know how to do it so I have to go back when the more experienced tech is working.
I think we are all in the same boat. I received and installed the first OTA update, then the second one failed with the 402 error. I tried Kies and it states that I have the latest firmware. The 402 error seems common with Verizon OTA updates. I may try a trip to Best Buy also, but I don't think that the update is in full effect yet. One positive for me, the tablet seems a bit better after the first OTA received yesterday.
I was told once they get the update on their computers they can push it to any device. Hopefully thats the case.
I wonder if we can odin back to the previous version we had. If it works it'll be all stock without any root history. Maybe it'll work that way.

Tried Odin with 4.4.2 but ran into the same binary mismatch. Assumed it was from a changed bootloader, but not technical enough to know.
Likewise think that might be a path forward once they publish the firmware, but no sign of it yet (I know it normally takes a week or so to see it show up on SamMobile)
How did you root? Has anyone had success with this? Is your tablet still usable?

I got the update. It was available through Kies this morning. Installed without any problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if it will install and save me a trip to Best Buy today

Haven't yet. After the headaches of getting it installed may take a breather before rooting. Here's a good summary from the P605 thread (obviously skipping the first couple of flashes and starting with the permissive kernel flashing) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-note-10-t3215876/post63187053#post63187053

My bad...my question was how did you root before the update? With towelroot? Does that make a difference or was it just a bad update from vzw?

Mine was rooted with towelroot. The first update wiped out root. The OTA error for the second update can happened whether you are rooted or not.
