Hello i have a i535 Galaxy s3, with 4.1.1 jelly bean, and i want to update to 4.1.2 right now but it doesn't allow OTA updates right now, i have clockwork recovery mod installed and i am rooted right now, could anyone help me guide how to update to 4.1.2? also would i lose all my apps/settings/data?
Also i did try updating from samsung Kies but it said it did not support a update. but i did manage to backup my data/settings from samsung kies.
Sorry im kinda a noob with this stuff, i'd need a full guide to updating if that's possible, i rooted it myself by following a youtube video and it has worked well since.
Thanks
You can't update because you are rooted.

so what can i do so i have the latest jelly bean?
You can flash the ota in the bonus files section of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
If that doesn't work, you will need to Odin back to pure 4.1.1 stock then take the official ota that way

If you are looking for the latest JB, and you're rooted, why not install a 4.2.2? There are tons of awesome ROM's out there.

i'm just not very educated in flashing roms and such, but if theres a good guide for a 4.2.2 update i'd be happy to go to that. But id like to keep my applications/data somehow (i have backed them up on samsung kies and i've learned how to make a full backup on clockwork recovery) i'd just rather not re-download all my applications.

There is no 4.2 update released for this phone yet. What Mr. CJ meant was that there are AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs out. The Android OS is currently on version 4.2.2 but not every smartphone has it officially.

ah well, id like to stick to whatever the official update is out right now, for the i535 which appears to be the 4.1.2 jelly bean, is it worth really updating from 4.1.1?

You asking if you can OTA the update when its officially released?
If your running a custom ROM and kernel than you can't OTA it. If your just rooted and are running the stock ROM I believe you can OTA it but it will make you lose root.
If your running a custom ROM, you might as well just flash a custom FroYo ROM thats based off the Official FroYo one when its released, we all know the Dev's here make things better.

If you are running a completely stock Epic with no modifications to the kernel/ROM etc., then you will receive an OTA notification when it is available. If not, you will have to wait until the new .tar comes out in order to flash it with Odin, or you can go back to complete stock to receive the OTA.
Ok thats all i needed to no ty all for the fast responses! YOUR THE BEST GUYS! and yea im all stock so ill be getting it ota dont no the release date yet but im looking forward to it this month (I HOPE! lol) anyway just wanted to say ty and keep up your good work guys i check back very often and see wats out and new ;P

You do realize that Leaked JellyBean vlk3 = Official Verizon JellyBean OTA, right?
There the same exact thing, the leaked file was the update. There is nothing different!
VLK3

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT RECOVERY VERSION CORRESPONDING TO THE 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER.
Sorry to all caps, but so many people have been bricking because they ignored that.
Will it be possible to bring it back to 4.2.1 stock rom?

Yes, I have been between 4.1 and 4.2 and back five times without a problem. You need to use stock rom to downgrade from 4.2 or at least that is my experience.
Downgrading you will loose apps and data. Upgrading you don't loose anything.
Hi!
I need some help with understanding of flashing custom roms e.t.c.
If I have 4.3 ( latest official update ), is it possible that I upgrade to CM11 4.4? Or I just can flash roms wich are based on 4.3?
Dont get it!
Thank you for responding!

whatever version of android your phone started with you are able to flash any of those roms, but you gotta be careful if your phone was at gingerbread and was updated to jelly bean, they had bootloader changes and will soft brick if you try to downgrade like that, its not for all phones but some and you should still ask.
How can I update my firmware ?
I tried doing it on the phone but there is a error .
I'm willing to try to root it if I have to but I'm looking for the easiest way .
I downloaded Kies, and it says my phone is on the latest firmware 4.2.2.
Help, I want to go pokemon !
Download one from sammobile.com and use to flash it.

Only goes up to 4.2.2, existence is pain
Is there anyway to go up to at least 4.3 or 4.4 ?
This is the international S4 forum, so information and support for your S4 will be limited here. Read through the threads in the AT&T S4 forums, which you can access from the thread I linked to. There should be a thread there with the Android version you seek.

If you ever plan on using custom ROMs on it, then don't update.
Updating may make it impossible for you to root or flash anything other than Samsung firmwares on it.
You can try custom ROMs. Pokémon Go works fine on them too.
