They won't work.
If you're on 4.3 you're stuck on 4.3 firmware, no amount of flashing old firmwares and repartitioning can fix this.
That first article is simply wrong, you can't downgrade to 4.1.2 using that method on the sch-i535.

Has anyone found any way to go back yet? Cannot take this battery life anymore. Been on battery for twenty minutes now and I'm down to 75%.

I got the message to upgrade too.
Is it necessary to un-root and return to stock before upgrading the firmware?
I side-graded into firmware mode which switched the root access and it installed into the sd cards just fine.

So if we upgraded through Kies yesterday, we don't need to do anything with the message today, right?
Really? Because the other threads created in the past 2 days didn't give it away??

THANK YOU! I was concerned that I was just too much of a noob to know what that meant. Glad it's not just me!
EDIT:
I think I figured it out-he's trying to avoid linking to another site by breaking up the address. Seems a little phishy to me.

Phone goes into recovery (3e) instead of download mode.

Title says it all. Any ideas why it is putting me into recovery mode instead of download?

Have you taken the battery out and put it back in and then tried to get in download mode? And what are you trying to do once you get in download?

4.3 root

Hey guys I'm new to the GS3 and I recently updated my phone to 4.3 and I wanted to root it but there's nothing I can find to root the phone. All I can find is for 4.0.4-4.1.2

From what I've been reading you can root but I'm not sure if you can root once your on 4.3. Custom roms aren't currently available once you take the OTA or there is a good possibility you can hard brick your phone

Yep I know that. Never been a fan of flashing ROMs anyway. I'm fine with stock rooted. It runs better and I get amazing battery life with the zerolemon

I followed the steps and was able to get root on 4.3 just fine as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me with that.
I do have a question....it might very well be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway,
I've installed Titanium backup and I have the update.zip that I created prior to reverting to stock and then taking the OTA. From what I understand I can't use custom recovery, which was the only way I knew how to flash that update.zip to restore my apps+data. So, how do I flash this update.zip with root on 4.3? Is this still possible?
Thanks again to all for the help.
Saferoot worked for me (its a method designed for galaxy s4). Although I wouldn't recommend it. It may or may not have been the cause of a hard brick for me, but I tried unlocking the bootloader after using it, which is probably what threw it.

No. Once you took the ota you lost the ability to flash other ROMs. Unless one of the Dev's cracks the lock bootloader or finds a way around.
