The update is not official according to samsung you will only be able to get ota from att only if you have not deleted any system apps.

Actually I use XDA with the Pantech Burst ! I wanted to first update my phone and then put apps on it as I cant put apps onto it again and again !!

What it seems like is that the update may not be available for your region. The only thing you could do is call att and see if they will push the update to your device or wait for a someone to make a system image.

If you dont have Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP) then you can simply download and instal the update zip package through stock recovery. If you can't download because of modified system settings then use TA to make it official
Do u mean Triangle away? If yes then that also does not help. It downloads the file but fails to update. Any work around on this?

Can v flash stock recovery through cwm recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk
Yup, I mean Triangle Away. The update shall be downloaded but the update zip can only be flashed through stock recovery. AFAIK entering into CWM immediately modifies your system settings to Custom and update zip wont load on a modified system. I am not sure whether you can flash stock recovery through CWM.
Hmmm... I went back to stock to get the updates.

you can update to kitkat but for that wait for it
also if you have rooted then you can try ota root keeper or have to flash 4.4 through odin when available

don't worry it will surely reach to u
even my frnd has not got it yet
i was stunned bcoz after so big wait i was frustrated and was going to root and flash cm11 and it showed up and started downloading
It's downloading right now through Kies, its about midway. Will report back how it goes.
Also, please use the 4.3 discussion thread and Indian S3 Owners thread. No need to make another thread!
EDIT: Flashed, works fine. Although it's taking a huge amount of internal storage, I think I'll do a factory reset.
just upgraded and very fluid till now

Official 4.1.2 Build

Hi
I have been using Nightly 4.2.2 for a while now but seeing as 4.3 official is on its way I would like to flash back to 4.1.2 so I can OTA it.
This is going to work right?
Anyway I have been trying to find a GBR in this link, although when I bought TAB it would factory reset to Germany and I would simply change the language on setup....
Is there a GBR or do I need to go with a GER one, cant see either in this link

Appreciate your help

You can flash a stock firmware and receive OTA updates normally.
To download the corrent firmware check this out - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/

Flashed with a united kingdom download and now it is in perm loop on boot
This was originally a Germany version although why should that matter it's still the same device?
Please help
Attempting a flash data now

Make sure the model is the same.
No matter the firmware, if the model is the same the firmware should work.
Try to reflash again.

You cannot update a rooted device via OTA - it'll download, but it won't install. You have to unroot to install it, and I don't even think it works. - Better flashing it via Odin, then re-rooting.
