Answer with your location if you have gotten the update. This also will help answer my curiosity on how they roll out updates and where. If anyone gets the update please post the manual download link
New link since the old one was deleted.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...0/eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip
Start downloading people the official ota lj7. Boot into recovery and install with Samsung recovery and all will be good.!
Just got mine updated manually. Placed the zipped file on root on my sd card. Then shut it down. Removed and reinserted the battery. Held down the volume up, home button, and power until I saw Samsung display on the screen. A menu then came up and I selected restore from sd file or something like that. Install worked without a hitch!
I think, not sure, OTAs get to the "major markets" first, then more rural and smaller areas get them as the days go on.
I only say that based on my experience. I live in a small town in Western New York and it usually takes the OTAs a few days to get pushed here after an official announcement from Sprint
But I too am also interested in which markets get the OTA first.

Nope, havent gotten it.
I remember when I had my GS2, when the 4.0 OTA came out, people that got the update first extracted the URL of the update file and posted it here in XDA and so people that hadnt gotten the update could manually download it instead of waiting weeks for the OTA to hit their phones...
Will we have the same now for the GS3?

Yes, it gets stored in /cache, once someone gets the OTA they can pull it from there and upload it a file sharing site (Dropbox, mediafire, d-h.st, etc)

It's not a URL, it's the actual OTA file. You accept the download, then before it reboots to install, you copy the file in /cache to your computer. Then upload to the file sharing host of your choosing and share that URL with the masses.
Never mind lol

I know there is a trick to stop the framework process or something to that extent to force and update once it comes out. I have used it on the two previous upgrades so I didn't have to wait for it to hit me. Does anyone remember the exact app? Does Android Framework sound familiar? I think I cleared the cash and then it found the update.

So, I know this update was from May, but I have not received it. I used to have this update, then I rooted. I then unrooted by downgrading with a video I found in android forums. At the end of the video, the guy got the 1.22.605.2 CL161494 ota. I as previously mentioned have not gotten this ota yet. Is it possible Verizon stopped pushing this out in preparation for today's froyo release. If this is true, can I upgrade directly to froyo? If not, does anyone have an update.zip?
Thanks

Yea I saw that I thought that was talking about the Moto Droid.. do you see how it says "since its not being rolled out" that's not talking about the Incredible as it is being rolled out.
I still don't understand why you can't get 2.2 OTA did something happen?? I could probably upload a PB31IMG.zip for you of the latest 2.1 for you as well so you can download directly from your phone.
I am having the exact same issue here..
After I downgraded, there was an update.zip on the sd card.. should I push this in recovery?
Also, I HAVE done this downgrade in the past and have always gotten the OTA like a minute after the first boot.
It's okay, I live literally half a block away from a verizon store.

This is exactly what leads me to believe it has to do with the update being pushed. I had the same problem, so I just did the latest 2.1 RUU and got toe ROM.zip and made that into the PB31IMG.zip, and now I'm on the latest 2.1 waiting for the 2.2
So, if I do the latest ruu will it wipe my phone? Will the PB31IMG wipe my phone?

Modem version i747MVLLH1
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I747M&pcode=BMC&os=1&type=1#firmware
Quoted from Mobile Syrup
"Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-i747M) users today will be able to download an update over the air (OTA) that brings “improved stability”, bug fixes, better battery life and you can now adjust the screen brightness from the drop down menu. It’s still at OS 4.0.4 — no Jelly Bean yet — but we’re getting various tips that the Bell update is 100.27MB, while Rogers is 86.08MB. TELUS customers have also been pushed the update, no word yet on all the carriers who have the SGIII in their lineup."
The update should be waiting for you. If not, check Settings >> About Device >> Software Update.

My update was around a 100MB. I noticed some changed settings in the camera app, the messenger moved the attachement icon to the side instead of underneath the send button, I noticed some setting changes in the settings (or maybe I didn't notice them)

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I'm still waiting. WTF?
I had to get my update via Kies, nothing came OTA.
Not a major issue on that, although after the update was pushed, my SD card was corrupted and had to be reformatted.
So make sure you either unmount or physically remove any external SD card, I lost all my photos :\
OTA update was waiting for my sasktel phone this morning when I woke up. My phone is rooted, so I was a little cautious to perform the update, but after reading around, it just breaks root.
Did the update at work, re-rooted, and away we go.
Only problem I've noticed thus far is that it broke the auto-detect of the headphone jack on my phone, which if I went and installed my PowerAmp, would be nothing at all.
Otherwise, phone seems snappier. I'll give it a full day tomorrow with my usual routine, to see how well it performs battery wise.
OTA upgrade Crashes my Email

Since then, my exchange email crashes constantly, and now my touch wiz has started to randomly crash.

First, try booting into recovery, wiping both dalvik and system cache and rebooting. If this does not resolve the issue, backup device, perform factory reset and restore device.

just checked my phone via kies, and the up date to 4.1.1 was available. your phone must be at 50% charge to apply update. so im on the charger as we speak!!! will post results later!
I can confirm, just connected and shows the update.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering before you updated, when checking for updates on your GN2, did it give you the message
"Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
because you had been rooted? Therefore you did the update via Kies?

sammobile.com has posted it, no need to do. I was just hoping someone would upload the 8 meg update instead of the whole 870+ meg file.
Did anyone else just have a message from T-Mobile pop on the screen about something to with an update?
Just curious because I just did twice, but each time it stated something about me running an unofficial version of android.
After several restarts it popped up again except this time I was able to grab a screen shot of it. I hope this is really it.

Nothing for T-Mobile T999 in my area yet. Make sure you guys mention your device model, carrier, and current build too please. These will all make a difference.
There has been no kernel source released yet though and from what I've seen recently they've been releasing that before or at the same time as the updates. Doesn't mean anything for sure but figured it'd be worth mentioning.

Oh, and if you get the update and want to pull it so you can share it here, this is what you do.
Let the update fully download, but when ready choose postpone. Next flash twrp via Odin, then reboot into recovery. Use the built in file manager to copy the update.zip to your sdcard. I think it will be in /data/fota or maybe in /cache. If not just look around for the fota folder.
Or if you choose, flash the supersu zip after booting recovery, then reboot, install a root browser and copy it that way.

No pop-up for me... T-Mobile user here..
I flashed to stock, but I'm not exactly sure the Odin files I used were up to date and couldn't check due to needing to flash cwm in order to get it to boot fully.
Had to clear dalvik for it to boot after 1hr of waiting.
