Customer base and update cycles are two completely different things. And judging by my coworker who has a gs3 and doesn't even know what a premuim suite update is and doesn't care, I think Verizon will be fine sending out updates whenever they want.
Were probably going to skip straight to 4.2

I apologize in advance for this noob question...
I rooted my s3 a couple of months ago. Now that 4.1.2 is out, how do I update & re-root it? Do I just download an updated rooted image & boot into recovery mode and flash it, or is there more to it than that? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just flash the rooted stock, then flash the radio and rpm. Much easier than updating and rerooting.

well, that didn't quite work
so I downloaded the file CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305 (hopefully that was the right one for 4.1.2 rooted). I booted into recovery mode, started odin. Chose PDF and selected the file, hit Start. After about 15 seconds I get a "Fail" message. Phone won't boot at all. Did I select the wrong image? How do I get my phone back?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking that this was the wrong file, I went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
and downloaded the For VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) file. That updated correctly via Odin, and phone now reboots. Looks like it's still at 4.1.1 however....

Got the new OTA update this week on Skyrocket on my rooted phone. It will down load but when it reboots to install it starts up in in Clockworkmod screen so does not Install. What can I do to install update????
Please search the forums before posting nonsense. You can't receive OTA updates using a custom recovery. You need to be stock. Odin back to stock ICS and then try.

Go to Here and return the device to complete stock (unrooted) form then apply update... remember, if your happy with your device the way it is I wouldn't bother
Thanks Guys. Sorry about posting again before I read other posts of the same. Will just leave it as is till Jelly Bean comes out as one of you suggest. Thanks Again...
I also got the OTA show up on my phone. I do not intend on unrooting and installing at the moment but am curious what the update is for. Anyone know? ATT of course has nothing on their site.

new OTA update
I also received an ota update this morning. The only reason I had my skyrocket rooted was so I could try out the jelly bean roms. restored to stock and now my phone is telling me that the software is up to date and wont let me get the ota again. Does anyone know how I can get it to show up again. By the way I am a noob with this kind of stuff

Why are people in these forums so rude to someone who is just asking a simple question? Because I would like to have my GS2 on a full jelly bean firmware that's not buggy and that is not ICS. I've tested the full jelly bean on another device and it is a lot smoother and definitely better in all aspects than ICS. In my opinion anyway.

This isn't a jellybean upgrade tho. Its just some enhancements and a new modem to ICS.
So, I don't WANT the upgrade, but Device management keeps loading up and won't go away unless I hit the home key. It keeps popping up and won't be satisfied until I download the upgrade, which I do not want to do. Is there any way to turn it off?

How is that rude? I asked why you would go through the trouble to get such a minor stock update. This isn't jb, man. It's a maintenance update. Chill out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
JB hasnt even officially been released for the Galaxy S3 and the chances of SR getting it before S3 is 0.004855% and there is no "official" word on if its even going to come out for Skyrocket yet alone if ATT will go through with it. They did say Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE but that can also mean just the international version or whatever.
Remember it has to go through Samsung then ATT.
Your best bet for JB right now is the AOSP based ones.

He's not being rude, that was a legitimate question. I would ask the same. And trust me, a small update like this one wouldn't be JB. Sad, but you can get that idea out of your head. Besides, I'd scream if the SR got official JB before the S3

Any ROM should work be it 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. All that is number is the android version. You're baseband stays the same. Clean ROM is great, liquid smooth is also good. Hell, try em all, that's the best part. Of course, this coming from a certified flash-a-holic!

Do you mean the yellow triangle in the Odin boot screen? If you installed the ROM properly (through recovery like clockworkmod or TWRP) then it shouldn't boot to that screen at all..

Your bootloader is still locked. Odin back to stock, re-root, and unlock with version 1.2. The version in the Play Store will not work. If you search for that version, there are links everywhere. After you complete this, back up everything including IMEI and flash whatever you want.
Thanks I installed liquid smooth ROM with unlocked boot loader. Everything looks great the way I want it! Navbar looks cool! I know what u mean by 4.2.2, I thought these are for 4.2.2. Confused user here.

Think of it being similar to Windows. You have 95, 2000, xp, win7 and win8. All of them are windows just different releases. So if you take your computer with xp and install 7 on it it should be fine. Just like if you install liq. Smooth 4.2.2 on a device running 4.1.1 your essentially upgradeing the Operating system.So now the 4.1.1 phone becomes 4.2.2. That's it in a nutshell.

Assuming you're rooted, either flash the stock root mb1 or restore you're nandroid backup. You did make a back up, RIGHT? THIS is why we back stuff up.

Hi Shaftamle,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 (bought a used one off e-bay so that I don't lose my unlimited data plan).
I plan to root my phone and was doing some preliminary homework. It looks like you have answered most of other people's questions, so thank you for helping out so much. I think I can root by myself with the information on this thread.
Thank you, I will do as suggested.
I am running into problems in Step 3. I used Clockwork (non-touch) and it says "success (0) / fail (0)". I do have "auto-reboot" unchecked.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Step 2 went well.

Seriously, how hard is it to follow directions?
All you need is ODIN and a stock rooted Touchwiz.tar. Once you have that you're golden. Install v1.2 to your phone from here to unlock your bootloader and then install this to flash your recovery. This whole process can be completed in about 10-15 minutes tops.

Hi, i am using my S3 without service at the moment and i was hoping if someone could help me get the latest update. i am on the MB1 update. if i try OTA it says try again when i have service again..any bypass for that?
Or was the Update disabled for the S3?
Also i am on AT&T at the moment and i cannot go with that also, i dont know why
Any Help? thanks.

Why you posting in the Verizon forums if your on AT&T. What update are you looking for? If it's the one I think it is you need to install CWM or TWRP to flash it and I'll have to check my sources for it.

Wait a week or so. I had an idea the other day and we are just now trying to put it to the test. It may unlock the bootloader, who knows! The method works on Motorola phones with the Qualcomm msm8960 chips. And guess what. The s3 has the same chip. And the exploit was directed towards that chip.

Here's to "if there's a will, there's a way" attitude

Still testing and digging! But I feel like our efforts are fruitless, as I am no developer and I feel like my friend and I's ideas have been thought of and tested and failed. I do not want to bring any hopes up. But it's starting to look more and more possible. Just be patient

I do hope it's successful! I stupidly took the 4.3 OTA, and I've been regretting it since. Do keep us posted, please!

That link has been posted in these forums before. That downgrade only works on the i9300 international version, not the i535 Verizon version. The screenshot in the article you linked even shows the about phone as the i9300. This article you linked is from 8 months ago. If this worked on the Verizon version it would have been all over these forums. The article you linked even mentions how trying this process resulted in hard bricks on the AT&T version. Anyone trying this on the Verizon version will suffer the same fate.

Understood, thanks. I didn't look into details.

You posted a link without even reading the details contained inside? Not a good practice. Plenty of new people who would read your description, click on the link, follow the suggestion contained in the article without also looking into the details, and brick their phone. I removed the link from my quote of you. You may want to consider removing the link from your previous post. Just saying.

I was thinking is there a way you can hardbrick it then debrick it without having to send it off then push 4.1.2
