Without the updated recoveries you'll just boot into an Asus logo.

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

That is called recovery, and it is how updates get installed.

isn't that a failed update though?
After seeing postings about a Verizon Galaxy S III update yesterday, I checked using "About device -> Software update" in Settings this morning.
A 30 MB download started and the update completed in about 5 minutes. Software Update says it was an update from LF2 to LG7.
Yeah and kills universal search and you cant disable the remote diagnostics if youre stock and not rooted.
Also several users have confirmed it will break root. They all were stock rooted with stock recovery.

I am on the Stock rom, rooted and bootloader unlocked Using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, EZ-Unlock, and CWM. Re-Locked bootloader, disabled root, took the update. After the update completed, CWM asked to disable the new boot image, selected yes. Rebooted, got a message saying the update failed, however it installed and I am at I535VRLG7. I was able to restore root, and unlock bootloader without any problem..
How do I keep the phone from taking the update?

You will probably lose root and have to redo. Might cause issues worse than that

Did you unlock your bootloader? If so did you read the BIG WARNING?if not go back and read it. Generally once you root you don't want to give vzw a chance to unroot you. If you unlocked your bootloader It could brick your phone.
So generally don't take ota updates! You wait for the devs to check them out First and modify them for us.
As far as i Can tell this ota just takes stuff away from us And installs some vzw remote access crap. ( with that on your phone you will have to go back to stock if you just call customer support for help)

The update itself has useful stuff (a new radio which fixes no sim issues), but we have that already and it should just be flashed by itself, imo.
Well got my first no sim with the radio epic fail.. So much for fixing that maybe just a push to get that bootloader relocked

Did you do it via OTA or flashed the radio? I'm hoping you flashed invisiblek's in Odin. That one was actually the wrong version.
Flashed the radio with Odin

Flash the CWM version. invisiblek accidentally bundled the previous radio in the Odin package. Not sure if it's updated yet.

I can confirm it works. Just did it this morning. I believe it kept my unlocked bootlader too, kinda hard to tell though. The custom sign doesn't show up on startup

Grab the stock firmware and odin flash.

There isn't any guide to unroot you just flash an unrooted stock ROM via Odin and that is it.

Did you watch the video to see if it is for Verizon version of the S 3?
Use the verizon stock firmware instead of the international one and flash using odin as mentioned in the link.

Ok, I check my phone in setting and click about device. My phone is on I535VRALG1 any of these leak will brick my phone? I wanted to make sure this process works for me. Those version are different than my device version.
Leaks don't brick phones people do.

You still can root your 4.3 with saferoot.
We also have safestrap to work around the 4.3 locked bootloader, but I'm not recommend it yet, cause it's not yet stable.
