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.

You can't get them, because you have to be on Verizon to get the official update trough ota. However, you can try any of the ROMs based on it like bonestock

Nothing too earth shattering if you read the official statement from Verizon, but may have a fix for those with SIM troubles.

But, if we are rooted, we don't want to update. Right? Thank-you
right, the safest way to update is to restore back to stock, stock kernel, and DEFINITELY re-lock your bootloader if you have it unlocked.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Not while rooted....Can brick your phone I heard.
Do not update if u are rooted.
Well if you can't update while rooted, what are you supposed to do if it auto updates? I was just sitting in bed and noticed that my notification went off on my phone and not on my tablet (meaning not email). I checked the phone and if I hadn't noticed it would have auto updated and I am rooted on stock. It said the update would start in 3 minutes after I heard the notification. I deferred until tomorrow and have my phone how I want it, so I really don't want to go back to stock. I suppose I could make a nandroid.
It really scares me though that Verizon almost pushed an update that could have potentially bricked my phone. I don't think that is right, quite honestly.

Before installing this app,I noticed my phone said downloading vzw update, which I didn't want so I quickly turn mobile data off, search the market for a ota blocker saw this installed enabled and haven't been botherd yet. THIS APP IS ONLY FOR VZW S3 PHONES!! Sorry don't mean to yell lol.

Follow section 6.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253
Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

If you are an owner of Galaxy S3 and have already updated your device to the latest firmware version, you may want to root it to gain full control over the phone. Here is an easy-to-follow step by step tutorial to help you perform a root on your International Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

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.

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....
I haven't been prompted to update to VRBMF1 yet and haven't manually updated. I am still on VRBMB1. Ready to try Beans' one click root method but not sure whether to take the update first or not. Anyone have any suggestions?
Pretty sure it'll work, it doesn't really matter if you're going to end up flashing a custom rom; but it's all preference maybe if you want the new modems just take the update.

Can you provide info if the one click method works for you. I am on VRBMF1. Never rooted before.
Just root. The newest update had signal and battery issues, along with many other issues. Verizon even pulled the OTA. Flashing a newer ROM will give you the newer features anyways, and it will be better.

It was incredibly easy. Only thing that tripped me up at first was that I didn't have the Samsung drivers installed on my PC. Since the thread didn't mention installing them I was assuming they weren't needed. You can get them here. Once I installed them and went through the steps in the thread, I was rooted and unlocked in a few seconds.
I highly recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7 if you'd like to get rid of TouchWiz.

What method do you use to root? I'm on the VRBMF1 build already, on Verizon. I have the S3 toolkit from mskip, but it says it can't do anything until I get the bootloader unlocked. Now I can't find any method to unlock the bootloader for this build. I feel I'm just missing something stupid, but I can't find it :crying:

I used beans casual method. One click was done. Also on the MF1 update, it updated when I was leaving VZW store, 5 minutes after got home was running Revolt rom. Make sure to have correct divers and set screen on time to 5 minutes and to have java runtime environment installed on your computer.

Where did you hear this? I highly doubt we're going to get the update, even if the international version is going to get it It'll be months afterwards before Verizon even thinks about pushing an update to us. They really have no incentive to push a kit-kat build to us.
