I had my phone rooted, but still running the stock ROM. I tried to do the Jelly Bean update and it failed citing a CWM directory. I went and did a complete reset since I was really looking forward to getting it on the s3, but now whenever I do a check for software updates, it says nothing is found. Is there any way I can manually kick off the OTA upgrade?

lol, there is no JB update. It is an ICS update and if you have a custom recovery installed it won't work.

I must have gotten over zealous... my GF got a JB update on her Nexus the same day.
There is a leak based Jellybean ROM in the Dev forum but there is no official release or update yet.
The only way you are getting a Verizon built JB Rom on your S3 anytime soon is if one leaks out. You will need to have a rooted device to install of course.
Otherwise, it could be months before we see an official release. Being that a Sprint JB Rom has leaked I would have to think a Verizon one is not to far off. Just because Verizon takes for ever to release the update does not mean that Samsung is not currently working on it.

Wow this is an old thread, what error did you get? Do you have a custom recovery? Do you have boost apps frozen or deleted? Some more details besides it failed would really help out.

I had to unroot before the JB update would work. Make sure you also check your bootloader to be sure it is back to the locked setting.
Here's how I fixed my update failure:

I followed the guide for beginners to root my S3, did NANDROID backup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914 After that, I removed some VZ bloatware. I have Ti Backup and ROM Manager installed. That's it. I am clueless.

Since I did the NANDROID backup extsdcard before I removed the VZ bloat ware, can I just restore it? If so, where is it on my external sd card? I followed the instruction in the root guide, and don't remember specifying a folder for the backup... is it in clockworkmod\backup?

Yes if you backed up just restore it. You will need to restore through CWM though . If all you did was freeze bloat then under the backup/restore section choose advanced restore and just restore the system.

restoring from CWM failed. don't know why. finally, I just followed [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to root your Galaxy SIII & More!(ROMs/CWM/Stock), Section 5 to get everything back to factory stock. Success! Now I have Jelly Bean finally. Thank you so much!
ps: google chrome keep telling me there's malware on the xda forum page last night. i had to use stupid ie for the forum...it seems ok now.
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.

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.

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....
Hi,
I have verizon s3 with 4.1.2. I would like to know which guide are correct for me to use guide for me to root. I have noticed most of guides are from last year. Not too sure which link is correct for me. I spend hours and hours reading how to root. My s3 is currently non root phone for now. Hopefully someone will help me.

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.

Hi Shaftamle,

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.

Looking in the development section, I see Hyperdrive is still on 4.1.2, so if you were running Hyperdrive you were on 4.1.2. The problem may have come from flashing the 4.3 stock image on a rooted, bootlaoder unlocked phone. Were you no longer wanting to have an unlocked bootloader and run custom ROMs, because flashing the 4.3 stock image would have locked you down like that. Are you sure you flashed a stock 4.3 file? If so you would probably have to proceed as if you were already on stock 4.3 just to play it safe. This may be you best chance at regaining a functioning phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
Unfortunately since you phone does no boot, there is no way to confirm if it is currently on 4.1.2 or 4.3. That would give us a definitive answer on which fix method to use.

If you were on safestrap, shouldn't you have had a fully stock ROM in the stock slot? Also from everything I read, you couldn't run Hyperdrive on safestap because you can only run 4.3 TW ROMs on safestrap. If you were running safestrap, that would mean you were on the 4.3 OTA of VRUCML1 and fixes for that would be your best bet, but since the phone won't power on I don't think any of the fixes here would work. Best bet may be to send it out for JTAG repair. I've seen mobile tech videos mentioned a lot for JTAG repairs.

Lol wow I'm really sorry, I've had a lot going on this week and my brain is all over the place. I was confusing my current s4 and the s3. The s3 was running regular cwm and was running Hyperdrive. I was having usual force closes and such and wanted to flash back to stock and I'm pretty sure I used the wrong file.

Oh man, that sucks. Do you think you possibly used an s4 file on your s3? If so, you will definitely have to send it out for JTAG repair if you can't get any response out of it. But it can't hurt to check out that thread I linked earlier and see if the SD card method can work for you. Good luck.

Yup, unrooted but you're on 4.3 now.
So you need to follow everything in this thread:
