You could try EE4 take the EP4D ota then maybe the FP1H will pop up.

DO NOT accept the update with a rooted phone, if you must install the update "officially" you need to Odin back to stock unrooted, check the forums if you need help with that it is stickied.
Your other option is to get a CWM flashable version of the rom or just the radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560117
If you want to keep your phone rooted and just disable the annoying ota popup notification you can do this: http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/d...s-ota-update-very-easy-but-requires-root.html

Thanks !!
Thanks cliMAKtic !!!
This is the answer what I was looking for. By the way, should I use cwm to ugrade to FP1 radio? Can I use odin? I have EP4 Deodexed / Rooted on my phone, which was loaded by Odin.

Odin flashes .tar Odin packages
cwr flashes .zip files via recovery
You just use the right tool for the job.

This is true but it can be a little confusing since occasionally odin packages (md5.tar) are downloaded in zip files and need to be pulled out, but yes files flashed through CWM are in .zip format.
This is just the FP1 radio update (.zip format) I pulled it from the link above. Download the file, put it on your sd card, go into CWM, wipe cache and dalvik, go to mounts/storage, mount /system, go to install zip from sd card, install it, and thats it. Note that it takes a while to install so don't pull your battery thinking it froze, just let it finish.

Is the UCLI3 update known to soft-brick phones w/ CWM?

I just got an update notification for build UCLI3. Is it safe to upgrade to on a phone with Clockworkmod Recovery installed? Some people are saying it boots into recovery, but then says "update failed" once rebooted.
TL;DR: Has anyone seamlessly updated to UCLI3 on a phone with CWM installed?

almost any update to a phone that doesn't have the stock recovery wont update due the fact that the update thats being sent out is processed differently with stock vs cwm and twrp
an no its not good to update with non stock recovery

I did. I didn't know whether or not the "update failed" message kept the phone from booting normally. I don't exactly have an hour or so to check.

So, would returning to just the stock recovery, then doing the OTA and re-installing CWM work, or do I need to do a factory reset as well beforehand?

I got the update notification as well. It downloaded and rebooted to CWM recovery without installing. Rebooted to system with no problems.I did an ODIN revert to stock and checked for updates, it downloaded and installed properly. Then reinstalled CWM via ODIN.Then rooted with flashable SU zip. all seems fine so far.

[Q] revert back to stock- USB port damaged?

Hi guys,
my rooted 4.2.2 rom'd gs3 has a finicky usb port and will not charge. I need to return the phone for a warranty exchange, but is there a way I can do that when the usb port is damaged and is not recognized by the pc? thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried mobile odin app.

1. Mobile odin, however I've personally never used it. There are probably guides out there somewhere how to return the phone to stock.
2. You may still be under samsung's warranty period, they don't care if your phone is rooted and will fix hardware problems. They will flash the most recent stock rom and firmware they have to your phone so you'd have to re root it.

I have not tried the mobile odin app (did not know it existed). I will try that and post back results in a little while. Thanks everyone

Its pretty straight forward. It does cost you a few bucks but its always nice to have and support a great developer.

I downloaded the 1.2gb file which was supposed to flash the stock ROM and lock the boot loader, but all it did was wipe my current ROM? Can anyone help me understand what I did wrong? Thanks again! I used the mobile Odin app and it all seemed OK ...md5 sum was good too

Thanks for your help I was able to get a usb connection enough and I used Odin on my laptop. The only problem I have now is that the custom unblock symbol appears when I boot up the phone. Any idea how to remove that now that root is gone? Ignore the following words...my phone won't let me edit them out. Thanks again.
Edit: it looks like the file I used was a 4.0.4 image. For return purposes is it fine if it's the older version? There should be no signs of root now. I'll keep checking for updates though

I would, if you have an ics rom they will be able to tell something is off. It should accept an OTA update. If you can odin again, use the vrblk3 image and accept the ota to vrbmb1. It may not be updating due to to the jump from ics to the most recent base. That will make sure you're completely back to stock, with a locked bootloader, and a stock recovery.

I was trying to return my Galaxy S3 to stock to return it to Asurion.
Now I can't boot into recovery. I can't boot into the phone. I can only boot into Odin. I've tried recovery and things in guides and it fails in Odin.
I try booting up the phone and get the Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Except this doesn't work either!
