Looking for official Jelly Bean OTA file - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My wife's phone received the official Jelly Bean OTA file yesterday and now her phone is totally FUBAR. I've factory reset it 3 times now and each time different things stop working. I'd like to get the official OTA file and re-apply and then factory reset it one more time. Does anyone have the file or a URL to download it?

Thanks but those all look like they have been de-odexed or rooted. I was looking for the "virgin" OTA that comes straight from Verizon. I want to see if that makes the phone work again properly before adding in the variable of rooting it.

They are. You may want to look at section 5 of that guide again. The first download is the official ota

Ok thanks. I think I need my eyes checked too. Anyway, I downloaded it and applied it to my wife's phone. Still having the issues synching the Google contacts on the two accounts we use to store contacts. FWIW, I am wondering if VZW has pulled the update. My SG III was bugging me for since Friday to apply the JB OTA and has finally just stopped. My wife's phone on the other hand is totally non functional even after applying the full wipe version of JB.

Keep the downloaded OTA on your /sdcard, but DO NOT INSTALL it! There is some dev work being done on the newest "leak", and I can tell you, things have changed. Avoid complications, and just sit back and hold tight to the OTA you found until we (erm... the devs) have tested this, and can get us back to stock.

Yes. The new leak is very much final ICS for us. And, as jim mentioned, it will lock us down even more with no way to return to GB. Unless that doesn't matter to you for some reason, I would stick with the first ICS leak found and posted in the general section. Then you may flash a ROM made from the new leak if you wish to experience what the newest leak has to offer. Or, you can decide for yourself what's best for you..

That statement is not entirely true. You can install it being rooted. But, if you have ever had bootstrap/BootMenu installed.. or have removed any files that get patch checks, then it won't install.
Well where is the first leak? I'm lookin not finding, the one i found they said i had to rsd flash to searet or mearet but rsd would not flash with the files the site gave me, my bootloader says failed n evertime i rebooted is goes to bootloader, but i'm not a novice n fix that prob, so if anyone has a att edison ATRIX 2 n installed the first leak give a how to please, do i have to flash bck to 2.3.5 cause i did dat got the ota to 2.3.6 tried the update n still nothing, i just wanna get of GB it's cool but everyone is upgrading n I'm stuck waitin for moto dev to stop scratching their ass n give us what we want :banghead:

Best way to update??

Okay, I read on here every day on my cell and can't find the answer to my question. I, like alot of people have a stock, rooted, unlocked phone and want to update to the latest OTA. I would like to, if possible, do this without Odin.
I was wondering if they're was a file like Scott's stock Rom that could be dirty flashed over stock without any problems? If there is no other way, I plan on using Odin to get back to stock after I relock the bootloader, take the update, and then reroot, unlock, etc.
The big reason that I would rather do it without the computer is that I am on the road 90% of the time and don't have access to a computer. I depend on my phone for GPS as well as entertainment, so being without my phone isn't an option for me. Are there any options?

I am the same way and would like to do it without going completely back to locked/un-rooted/stock. I was able to find a ROM that Scott just updated with the new VRALG7 from verizon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892670
This will apparently update your phone to the new baseband and leave you stock/rooted.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I read that, but there are some bugs. I wonder if anyone has tried a dirty flash?

Did you just wipe cache and dalvik cache or do a full wipe?
What I ended up doing was a full wipe and flashed CleanROM 2.5, which is based on the new VRLG7 updates. Then I flashed the new VRLG7 radio form here:

You just want to make sure you don't accidentally lock your bootloader and reboot since you will get the Verizon unauthorized software message which is also fixable but..

Okay, I purchased mobile Odin pro, what is the way that I need to do it? I have not seen a guide for that application. Also, will I lose everything on the phone and have to restore everything if I do it this way?
EDIT: I think I can probably wing mobile Odin, I can't find the new image file to flash. Does anyone know where to find it? I looked on Samsung updates . Com and couldn't find it.

Can I ask why you guys want the update anyway? I'm also on stock/rooted/unlocked and all I did was freeze the apps called 'sdm' and 'fwupgrade' and there's no chance for it to update to the OTA. I hear all it has is dumbed down search and a Verizon remote-help sort of thing.
It blocks a security issue and is different framework from what I understand. I would lock the bootloader, unroot, OTA, and then redo everything but will not be around a computer until tomorrow at the best.

After reading the posts on Scott's CleanROM 2.5, that's what I am going to do this weekend. I will feel a lot better knowing I received the most up-to-date software from Samsung as the framework and then customize my phone the way I want. Plus, that's what a lot of the more experienced posters have been recommending, and for a noob like me, it would be dumb for me to not take their advice.
Thanks for getting back to me about the cache wiping question!
No worries, good luck!

[Q] New stock OTA update. Anyone know what it is?

This morning I woke up to my phone telling me that there was an update to install. I have installed cwm and rooted my phone but am still on the stock rom (less buggy than others) so the update wont work. Does anybody know what this update is, Could it be the JB update? I was just curious if it was worth taking my phone back to stock to do the update?
Thanks
Its a new baseband/radio update and it updates the AT&T apn settings. Nothing major. Its been covered a few times in general and q&a areas.

Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

Whenever I try to do a Software Update on my phone, the screen turns black and then a second later a notice pops up saying "Unfortunately, settings has stopped". I am running CleanROM 3.0 on an Android version of 4.0.4.
If there is anything else to mention please let me know.

I have to disagree, this will not help. Color Green is trying to check for OTA's via Settings/About Phone/Software Update
Color Green, why are you trying to do a software update on a custom rom? Scrosler (CleanRom dev) removed the file that allows you to check for Verizon OTA's. Pretty much every dev does something similar. This happens on purpose so you do not receive constant OTA prompts. If you want a software update, Odin to stock and accept them. No custom rom will allow you to successfully update via OTA.

Ahh ok. The file that was removed is "sdm1.0" and there's possibly another file as well. Even if that file was present and you were able to "receive" an OTA prompt, it would fail because you have a custom recovery installed. That same custom recovery you used to flash CleanRom is the same one preventing Verizon OTA's from automatically installing.

Never ever OTA on a custom ROM.
Just like previous guy said, if you want to OTA you need to Odin back to stock. There a guide in the development section called "how to root and more" or something. Follow section 6 of that guide to Odin. It's a very simple process. I'm pretty sure you lose root, boot loader gets locked and your custom recovery goes away.

yeah....you'll have to wait for the dev to cook in the 4.2 upgrades......the first ones to ever get the upgrades implemented is AOSP/AOKP roms because they're essentially barebones android, but with some added tweaks
in the case of the jump from 4.1.1/4.1.2 to 4.2, not much is being added except for the new camera with fully functioning libs, fully upgraded gapps, a new 4.2 keyboard w/ gesture typing, and a few other things as well as polishing up things that are already present that needed polishing from 4.1.1

Sneakin' the update

Currently stock unrooted 4.1.2 for some tests. When I odin'ed back to 4.0.4, I went to settings, about phone, system updates: check for updates and it popped up per usual saying I had an update. I said yes and it preceeded to download. When it had finished it asked another pop up asked to update with the freshly downloaded software. Where does that downloaded software get stored? I wanted to download the new 4.3 system update so I could copy it to my computer and get to investigating but after I download it, I do NOT want to update my phone with it. Wary of anything to do with it because it has locked down and bricked a lot of peoples devices now. Links, pointers, suggestions and all greatly appreciated. Just saw some of the members discussing the dwv blocks which turned me on to this idea.

OTA updates save to /Cache/FOTA after they are downloaded. Btw, we have two 4.3 threads in the General section devoted to our latest OTA. One is titled 4.3 discussion thread and the other is titled along the lines of "4.3 is arriving in October." Both have plenty of discussion going on and are your best bet on following progress on the 4.3 OTA.

Thank you! I've actually been following both of the threads to the letter but this side project of mine is more of a personal nature. If things prove conclusive then I will report findings. Need to take a gander at the low-level code written in C.

Excluding the ADB part, that's what I did lol I switched to my rooted VRBMF1 rom and did so. OTAs are a two step process. First, it asks if you want to download the update and then once it downloads you'll receive another popup asking if you want to install it at which point you can select Later or Install now. If you stay on stock though, and if you move that update.zip from /Cache, it will repeatedly ask you later to download again so freeze/rename system app "sdm 1.0" if you don't want it to autoinstall if you're asleep or away for too long.
