Which update? I don't think you should expect any news of updates beyond 4.0.4 before Google io at the end of the month.

WTF are you talking about???

From all the latest news and leaks going on, I suspect we will see Android 4.1 announces at Google I/O at the end of June and at that point expect to see an announcement as to when our device might get it.

Jellybean is the next update

I'm sure we'll see it previewed and talked about at Google I/O, but I'd be extremely surprised if it was released at I/O. They wouldn't do it unless they were also launching a device with it, which we've seen the last 2 years as being at the end of the year (Google has indicated this as their plan).

this morning http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/7eb2d2b0473cb54?hl=en
but they arent real updates, just revisions.

For completeness, I've pushed the source code for IMM76K and IMM76L in AOSP. They're marked as android-4.0.4_r2 and android-4.0.4_r2.1. The differences from previous versions of 4.0.4 are minimal.

Thanks goes to cgrunner for posting the link!
NOTE: You must have a completely stock 4.0.2 yakju build for the OTA download to flash. That means, bootloader, radio, kernel, systemUI.apk, etc. all must be stock!
You also need either temp. root or a custom recovery to flash the file.
Here's a great tutorial on how to manually flash an OTA by efrant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

They usually start rolling it out on Thursday so by the weekend most people should have it. I'm excited. I'm still stock and unrooted on 4.0.2
My check Now button is going to die, has been pushed too many times in few minutes Still waiting
An OTA "today" means three or for months when you live in Canada.
Still I'm optimistic.

Just keep looking at the forum and someone will post a link up... then you can manually flash it.
Oh - what irony - it's officially released for the GSM version but clearly no one has it here as yet whereas while the unofficial 4.0.4 leak for Verizon LTE version is already available to flash on XDA!
You ****ed up Google - as always (lately).

The next AT&T update will be to UCLI5

You might as well update using the links in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965691
A few people now have reported buying brand new GS3s from AT&T and them coming with this build so this is not some leak or internal build. Worst case they will have an OTA from LI5 to whatever future build there is.
And no sadly this isn't Jellybean.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I believe it is more of an abandoned build that they decided not to push ota due to the upcoming release of jb. Information was leaked yesterday that 4.1.2 is ready to be released next week.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I doubt that given phones in stores have it and Samsung put it on a phone that was sent to them for repair. I think we'll get UCLI5 and then some UCLJ build that's Jellybean. Let's see who's right.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I find it very odd that they would release it on new phones without releasing an update for all phones. Or at least some mention of its existence. But then again this is my first AT&T phone so I don't really know how they operate.

This should have been in the JB rumor post.
I don't trust customer service reps when it comes to receiving accurate update information. Just for the hell of it, I chatted with a rep regarding the status of this rumored update. The chat transcript is below. And yes, this should have definitely been posted in the JB rumor thread.
Please wait for a chat representative to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Jennifer Cook'
Jennifer Cook: Hello and welcome! Thank you for using AT&T Wireless Online Support Chat for Technical Support!
kgbkny: Good morning
kgbkny: Would you be able to tell me if there is any validity to the reports of AT&T releasing the Jellybean (Android 4.1) update for the Samsung Galaxy S3 this week?
Jennifer Cook: The last software that was released for the Galaxy SIII was 09/18/2012 and 07/12/2012. We do not have the information as of yet, about the release date of the Jellybean software for that phone.
Jennifer Cook: When it is available for your phone, you will receive an alert on the phone.
kgbkny: Thank you. That's all I needed to know.

Unless its released in December, it won't be LJ anything. Those are date codes from the build of the software. UCLJ would be an October build. UCLI is a September build (L is the 12th letter, for 2012, I is the 9th letter for the 9th month September and the letter after it is the date of the month it was built. UCLI5 was built Sept 5th 2012.

The AT&T Jelly Bean Release Thread (4.1.1 released; Kies and OTA)

4.1.1 is out and, contrary to what Samsung said, the update is available on Kies and OTA! Yes, OTA is here!
Congrats to Corey_r and longcat14 for winning the pool. No one else even had a chance, haha.

​
Anonymous Source: Samsung's AT&T GS3 Jelly Bean User Trials started in May and have been completed; we're just waiting on AT&T. The ROM should be in its final stages of testing soon.
Jelly Bean Version: Most likely 4.1 Before 11/28, chatter from multiple official AT&T sources stated 4.2 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) However, then AT&T quietly released the above Support Article, which stated 4.1.The Support Article is the most concrete evidence we have, so it will probably be Jelly Bean 4.1.
Confirmed Jelly Bean TouchWiz features:
Camera
New camera/camcorder filters: warm vintage, cold vintage, black and white, sepia, color highlights(blue, green, red/yellow), and many more.
Pause and resume recording
Low light mode (uses HDR)

Don't get me wrong I'm interested in any info about a major update, but too many threads. Coming from the GS2 Skyrocket forum, there was one thread for anything related to JB. Any questions, rumors or whatever went into that one thread, and any other threads (like this one) would be locked. I think the mods should do that.

Honestly I hope not. This is hurting sales for AT&T GS3s. Especially with the Note 2 coming with JB. Samsung has some control over when the update is pushed out, but just like with ICS they wanna make sure their newest phone sells before updating the previous model.

The rollout will probably happen when Google officially announces Android KitKat. I believe this will happen within the next week. In the meantime, I suggest we all wait patiently as there isn't enough difference between 4.3 and 4.4 as to warrant throwing a riot.

I am guessing Nexus start getting it next week, Already restored mine back to completely stock(except it is still unlocked) to wait for the 4.4 OTA.
Well, as long as they push out the update soon so we can then start whining about when 5.0 will come.

Do we have the official update for the Nexus 7? I don't have a Nexus 5, I have the Nexus 7, hence I'll wait till the official OTA rolls out. 4.4 may have come out with the Nexus 5 but not for me Nexus 7. And you sir are right, I apologize for not specifying what I meant, thanks for the info.

I don't seem to recall saying this was a minor update. I said that the difference wasn't drastic enough to warrant throwing a riot over. There are some minor UI adjustments, some under-the-hood adjustments, and a hidden feature that enables a new JIT compiler that will probably replace Dalvik at some point. The new JIT does break the emulator though and that is why it is hidden in developer options. This is by no means a small release but it's not like we're stuck on Gingerbread still. From some of the people around here, you would think that JB is worthless and unusable now that 4.4 source is out.
Also, before you call someone out for posting incorrect info, make sure that their post actually contains incorrect info.

You can't cite a source if you don't have one.

Most likely, they'll start pushing it on Monday to some English-language devices. If those don't blow up, everyone else will get it once they finish translating 4.4 to all other languages, probably within a week or two. Be patient :fingers-crossed:
(I tried the Nexus 5 dump apks posted by droidlife, and they had a few untranslated strings in Norwegian)

I'm using the current 4.4 build. The ROM itself is running extremely smooth. However, if you choose to flash I STRONGLY suggest that before initial boot, you make sure to hit "Yes" next to the message that says to disable auto-recovery flash or whatever it is. This prevents the ROM from overriding your custom recovery with the stock one. I accidentally hit one of the 10 "No" options and now I cannot boot into recovery and ADB/Fastboot pushing a custom recovery doesn't work.
I'm sure I could just revert back to the 4.3 factory image and start again but I don't think it's worth the hassle since the ROM is working perfectly. So for now I am using the 4.4 ROM as is and just waiting for the factory image to come out so I can Fastboot flash that and start on a clean slate.
But again, the ROM is definitely smooth and worth flashing. I'm loving it.
