You could always download the zip file instead and flash it through the recovery...

Here you go guys. Credit for the base goes to Whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev for KD1, I just took the tar, re-deodexed, and made it CWM Flashable with unters deodex program.
If you have the update.zip (CWM Beta1) on your sd, please upgrade to Beta2.

T959VKD1 fully flashable through CWM

No, you need the Clockwork mod in order to flash the update. Check out the CWM thread and it will explain how to set it up. Once you have clockwork, all you need to do is go into the Clockwork recovery and select the zip to flash it.

Yes, you do... you place the Update.zip in the root of your SdCard and then boot into Stock Recovery and select Reinstall packages (this will install the update.zip which is CWM Recovery)(U should check the Beta2 Thread for more info)
Oh sorry, I think I misread what he was asking.

I had issues with market and any version of KD1 (Odin/Heimdall or CWM version). Found out my extra 1500mAh battery was causing me headaches. Are you running the stock battery?

+1.. package installers keeps force closing causing a reboot.. launcher restarts and i lose radio singal entirely.. i had to odin back to whites deodexed kd1
FYI
CWM Beta2 semi bricked phones, re Odin it and try Beta3
When I flashed the rom I lost root and my phone would reboot when I hit the power button to lock the screen. Reflashed whitehawks deodexed KD1 will try it again with CWM beta 3.

I have done this but when it tries to install the update, it immediately aborts the installation. Any ideas??
I am looking for the VRALG1 stock bloated rom that you flash in ODIN. i just unrooted and could only find the vrafl2 rom.
could i root again with vrafl2 and then flash recovery and go to a vlgr1 custom rom and intsall kernel and modem in odin?
Thanks
paul
I saw that file and tried forever to get it working. Why when i click "software update" "check new". it says NO New Update?
Also is vrafl2 with vrlg1 boot and vrlg1 modem the same as vrlg1 all togethor?
I'm using this stock bloated ROM but already rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29921524&postcount=94

If you do not have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) installed then yes it should install successfully.

And what if you do have a custom recovery installed? I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM for backups. Haven't done a custom rom yet -- just installed a few apps that required root.
Any ideas on what the OTA update will do?

I'm wondering the same thing...
The same as what happens on every other OTA, it will fail upon trying to install and you'll notice because your phone will be in CWM or TWRP.

And how do I disable CWM or TWRP? I used EZ-Recovery & EZ-Unlock originally. I see a "stock" option in EZ-Recovery. Would I select that, hit flash, then select reboot recovery? And on EZ-Unlock would I just select the "lock" option?
Thanks!

FYI: Just read this over at Droid Life:
"For anyone interested, I was rooted and had EZ-Recovery installed. When my S3 rebooted it went to the recovery after the update "failed". It gave me the option to apply the zip and I did so. and it even asked me if I wanted to fix root (I did not do this part). When the phone booted it stated that the update had failed, but in checking my Android version is definitely says 4.1.1."

Use EZ Recovery to flash the stock recovery. No need to re-lock your bootloader since the OTA should do that for you if you haven't installed anything that would cause it to fail like Google Wallet or CWM/TWRP.
I know many people prefer to Odin to a stock ICS image then take all the OTA's so that's another option for you as well.

soething like this also happened to me when i tried to flash cm11 to my xperia sola it was because the kernel i was using was not supporting the ROM once i "fastboot flash boot boot.img" , boot.img given in the zip folder i was able to flash the new ROM. Best of luck
Did you flash the boot.img over pc or on the phone?

I support. This seems like a boot.img problem. Try to make it via PC while the phone is in fastboot mode.
This is for a galaxy s3, would download/odin mode qualify as a fastboot mode? :S

I would recommend using the latest twrp. I find it much more reliable than CWM. Just my two cents.

Make a flash able zip for boot.img.
.img cannot be flashed through custom recoveries. .
Only zip file can be flashed.

I used TRWP and compressed the boot.img into a zip to flash and attempted it but I get a failed message.... Should I just scrap it throw away the phone at this point? Nothing seems to work...

Hey guys. I just rooted my phone and I installed TWRP and I went to recovery and it said "Unauthorized System" or something like that. I realized that I didn't unlock the bootloader. But how do I put the stock recovery on my phone?

If on 4.3 update you can't at this time. Your bricked. If on 4.1.2 need to Odin the 4.1.2 tar and start over.

Yea. No way to fix until there is an Odin image or some one makes an Odin flashable stock recovery image.
