I have an unlocked ATT S3 which I am using with T-Mobile sim.
I have been recently told that ATT users recevied OTA update 3 weeks back.
I tried to insert ATT SIM and check for updates but it did not work
Any idea how can I get that update ?

Just wondering but why would you want a carrier update anyway? If your looking for the Jelly Bean update, it's not out yet. What you can do is just root and flash a JB ROM.

ATT update is good for the phone as it brings in toggle brightness bar and improves battery life
T-Mobile updates if any are also not getting downloaded..
If in case T-Mobile sends any update, will i be able to download that ?

There's a rogers update for my galaxy s3 available but since my phone is rooted I can't update it until I flash it back to the original rom . The update is about 88 MB size and I'm just wondering if it is the jelly bean updated and if it is worth go back to update it or not. What do you guys know about it.

UVALH2 is the latest official ICS update.
UVALG5,UVALI1-2-5 are all ICS leaks
UVDLH3 and UVDLI3 are JB leaks
Confusing, I know....lol
Updates for Chicago
Does anyone know when T-Mobile will push out ANY update in the Chicago area?
I am still running the original UVALEM main code and UVLH2 base band (I updated this one from another thread on here).
They have released T999UVALI5 over the air update as of Sept. 10, 2012.
T-Mobile customer service doesn't even know what updates are available (or even that there is an update available) most of the time.
I understand wanting bug fixes pushed out to the customer but push them out to customers within a reasonable time frame for crying out loud.
I bet the Jelly Bean OTA will be being pushed in some areas before they get around to pushing out the UVALH2 main update.

It is highly possible that either your phone has somehow been inadvertently missed or excluded. Or it could be that you've flashed a new baseband and/or other mods.
I would recommend just using kies or odin to get the UVALH2 update.
Also, UVALH2 is the ONLY update that has been released by T-mobile. Everything else is leaked and can ONLY be used by flashing in stock recovery.
UVALI5 was not released. It was leaked and will never be had by the Software Update service from Tmobile. (Only if they are completely satisfied and make no major changes would they MAYBE release it...doubtful though)

Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Bhupinder
First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I couldn't find any significant changes for Gnex on 4.1.2 changelogs...
i have the n7105, i dont want to root and use custom roms as i had massive problems with gps and sat nav on my previous phone when changed roms, so sticking with official rom as sat nav is perfect.
saying that, i dont see many roms for the n7105 so there is nothing to entice me to change, unless they are all in the n710 rom thread?
also - im on ee (was t-mobile) in UK, but the phone has not had an update since i got it last year.. its still on 4.1.1 does samsung not update? i dont want t-mob getting there hands on it first and loading it full of junk.
Well as for updates lte phone get it lasts due to carriers.

IF the note is unbranded/unlocked You cna install the latest update from samsung via Odin. I'm running it now on my 7105, unrooted and stock, from tmob UK. There is one on samfirmware for EE.
Have you checked connecting the note to kies (via windows PC) to see IF there is an update available for your device?
IF you're sim locked you can remove it quite easily. Just follow this thread
You need any help gimme a yell
thanks, maybe i will look into it, rooting shouldn't affect the navigation/gps software..
N7105 has 4.1.2 now

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.

Do you have any links on how to do the 4.1.2 update on an unlocked phone? I searched on google (admittedly i suck with google) but couldn't find much info.
