I have been trying to install the latest ota update from T-Mobile on my sg 3 but after it downloads and I try to install it the phone restarts in CWM and I get a message saying can't verify signature. I toggle the signature verification in CWM but I get the same message, any idea what I may doing wrong or what I may need to do differently to have the update install?

If you are not using the stock recovery (not cwm), the ota update won't go through. You have to unroot and install stock recovery to get the ota to install

Just Odin the new root66 image. Its way faster than doing the OTA update. Make sure you do a factory reset afterwards too, so youll avoid any conflicts or unnecessary drains.
I have a question, did the JB update come with a radio update as well?

Yes. Easiest way to find out is just to check the modem thread.
I posted the modem yesterday morning.

How Do I do it, whenever I click install the phone reboots into Recovery and says Error Signature verification failed on the bottom and menu on top.
It may help to know what ora and model phone you have in case specifics are needed.
But you must be 100% stock. No mods, matching modem, stock recovery. Then put the ota on external and flash in recovery.
Or use mobile odin. If still fails may be a bad download.

It's T999 duh, Isn't there a zip for this update? Or other way I could go with Custom ROM, I don't know which one though, probably just one with Debloat, no mods, or themes
T999 is not the only model supported on this forum.

He tries to help and you duh lol? Yes u gotta be all stock to apply the ota update. If you are not, either flash all stock or get the update by flashing a stock rooted rom. Very simple.

Are you currently on build UVALEM? If so would you be willing to make a copy of the update.zip for me? It should be located either in /cache/fota or /data/fota
Honestly the easiest (and in my opinion the best) way to get to the latest official build UVALH2 and keep root is to flash MrRobinsons root66 version with odin or mobile odin.
Though if you just want to use the ota then you first must be full stock, no mods no removed bloat, etc. Then get voodoo ota rootkeeper and preserve root, reboot to stock recovery and flash the ota. Then reboot and restore root.
Alternatively, you can flash with mobile odin pro and itll inject root during the process. (Dont do this if you have modded build.prop for wallet). You dont need to meet the stock requirements this way.

How do I apply the JB update and keep root? or gain root after update? I am on stock ROM.
Thanks
You can buy mobile Odin and use it to install the update, and have it inject root and super su at the same time.
Will that work a file that's flashed through recovery? Or is there an Odin file somewhere that I haven't seen?

Got mobile ODIN, flashed back to stock firmware except recovery with everroot enabled. That worked just fine, and when it got to the update zip, it rebooted into recovery and attempted the update, but it failed. I don't remember the reason, if it gave one. Now I have the brightness slider but still 4.0.4... weird? I restored from backup and retried...same result.
edit: Think i might have figured it out. I was not on the right build number to start with for the update.

Yup otas patch a specific build to make the next. If you have the wrong recovery, modem, or are modded it will likely fail.

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Remove root.
Then install update.

I'd recommend a custom rom. You get so much more. And it's been multi Window 4.1.2 since October.
