I was on VZWBLK3 for awhile as I haven't been using the GS3 after getting a new phone. So today I went to update it and it updated from VZWBLK3 to the latest VRBMV1. The previous update was supposed to bring Multi-window from what I read. But it's NOT on my phone and the update went smoothly.
It's not in settings and it's not in the notification bar toggles. There's no EDIT feature for the toggles either. I tried booting into recovery mode and doing a factory reset and it's still not there.
Anyone have any clue why this is happening or what I should do?
Try holding your back key for a few seconds to activate it...you'll see a tab on left side of screen

Yea I know how to activate it... but if it's not in the settings and not in my notification toggles then obviously that won't work either. (I tried)
I just checked again and I'm on VRBMB1 instead of VRBMF1... but it said it was updated to latest version... does it update one by one or does it skip to the latest version?
I thought the update with multi window was MF1, not MV1?

Probably just hasn't pushed to your phone yet. You can skip one, doesn't need to be one by one. My gf just got the MF1 update a couple days ago.

Yeah, thats because it just comes right back shortly.
I was able to stop it. An hour later it has yet to start running. All stock here

I'm totally stock as well, and it came back pretty quickly. It may get re-activated if you use an app or such, but it definitely came back for me...
Oh well... after about 2 hours it came back... and now pops back on in seconds when I stop it
I guess no way to stop this with out root?

FACT: You can not disable it being on stock. To remove it you would need to root and flash a custom rom with it removed. Just letting you all know. Check out the skyrocketeer rom in dev section, its awesome
Also, for the people that are scared to root because of voiding warranty, there are two easy solutions.
1. Just unroot it, flash a stock rom or something.
2. Brick your phone by some means and if your rooted but it doesnt power on, they can not tell you rooted it. Just tell them you woke up and it was like that or something..

Well for one it seems that some animations have been tweaked slightly and phones feels a bit snappier, but it appears to have undisabled alot of the apps i disabled cause i could not uninstall them. also the build appears to be from September 27.

AT&T's description
Summary Description:
* Effective October 25, 2012, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be available to AT&T customers via Wi-Fi only for those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (OS 4.04), which is still available via Sideload.
Software Update Includes:
* Google applications such as Gmail, Maps, Play Books, etc., may be updated to the newer versions.
* Fixes a problem that impairs users from being able to download the following pre-loaded AT&T applications: Kindle, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Locker, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, U-verse Live TV, myAT&T, and Messages.
o Currently when customers launch one of these applications they are connected to the Google Play storefront, but they are not given the option to download the application.
Software Download/Update Instructions:
Network Initiated Software Update
Upon receipt of the Software Update notification, the customer should select Continue and follow the simple steps to download and install the new software. Customers will also have the option to postpone the update for 1, 4, or 8 hours. Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will receive this FOTA message.
1. Tap "Continue"
2. After the software is downloaded, Tap "Install now"
3. After the software is installed, the phone will re-start automatically
4. The phone is now upgraded to Baseband version I727UCLI3.
Device Initiated Software Update
Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to pull this software update from the phone.
1. Tap "Settings" icon
2. Tap "About Device"
3. Tap "Software Update"
4. Tap "Check for Updates"
* A message will display. "Software update process will not delete any personal data on your phone. Check the AT&T server for new software update?"
5. Tap OK
* A message will display. "A new software update from AT&T is available for your phone. This update will occur over Wi-Fi. Please make sure to stay within the Wi-Fi coverage area while the download takes place. This could take several minutes."
6. Tap Continue
* The device will automatically restart once the new software has successfully downloaded.
* Status Message: "The software has been successfully installed. Your phone is now ready for use."
7. Tap OK
The device must have an active SIM card installed to accept the update. Ensuring the device battery is charged to at least 50% is recommended for a successful software installation. The software update is available over Wi-Fi only.
Software Version Verification:
1. Tap Applications icon from Home Screen
2. Tap Settings icon
3. Tap About phone. If the Baseband version reads I727UCLI3 the device has the software update.

There should be tons of posts in all the previous update threads explaining how to dump it. Just gotta find em. I don't know off-hand but I'm sure many others do.

Upon reboot mine goes to a recovery screen. When I select "reboot" it boots up and informs me that the update has failed. I am rooted and have a custom recovery manager.

If the same rules apply for a successfuly OTA update, (1) you must be on ICS stock ROM, and (2) stock recovery; (3) no apps frozen or debloated to get the update
Tried to reboot, and booted into ClockworkMod. Can't update. Fix?

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.
How do I properly set it up on the vzw gs3? It asked me to install a patch file and so I chose Samsung and my model wasn't there, there was SCH-I939 I think but no SCH-I535 so I just picked the first one above cause it was closest. And it works except when I expand or lower the window bar I get "FlashBarService" has stopped and the resize bar disappears while multi window is still going. I created a backup before patching thankfully, should I restore to it and choose a different model number for the patch or what?
I am on stock rooted VRBMF1 by the way
Sent from my SCH-I535
I didn't let it install the patch file and its working fine for me. I just picked "later" the first couple times it asked, and then hit "never". No issues so far. I've only added four our five apps and removed some of the stock apps that I won't use, so I'm not sure what would happen if you added a bunch, or all, apps. I'm on stock MF1 too, just rooted.

I believe I was on Android version 4.21 rooted, messing around in the settings I accidentally clicked on check for update, I meant to tap the don't update and clicked on the wrong button. Now I am on version 4.3 and it shows the superuser icon but keeps giving me this error. Has anyone been able to fix it ?

There is an entire thread dedicated to it. People have managed to get root, but the bootloader gets locked. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
And a correction to your statement: you're on Android 4.1.2. Not 4.2.1.
Yes, you are right, I was in the 4.12, just noticed that typing error. If it's not to much trouble can you point me in the right direction to the other thread. Thanks
