Help with new firmware updates

Hi guys,
New to this forum and i need some expertise from you guys. Tried looking all over online for an answer but cant seem to find one. Here is my issue, my phone is a T999v phone from wind but my carrier is mobilicity. I got the OTA push for the new firmware a week ago or so, i am able to download it but when it reboots to do the install the file goes corrupt and wont install and tells me to try through kies. The other issue i am having as of right now is that i am not able to connect to kies via usb which will do the firmware upgrade. Want the latest updates but it is seriously giving me a major headache. Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Did you try installing the drivers for the sgs3 from Samsung's site (for your computer), reboot your computer then try going thru kies?

Kies never works for me, either. It's garbage anyhow, and there is no reason to install it.
Are you rooted? Do you have CWM or TWRP? Are you downloading the OTA over wifi?

No im not rooted...but CWM does pop up after my phone reboots to try to install, that is when i get the error message. tried doing OTA through wifi and carrier but doesnt work either way.

An ota from Mobilicity will fail on a Wind phone. You could possibly get around this by using mobile odin or maybe cwm. But i really dont know if its a good idea to try. The fw from each carrier would have to be very similar and i dont know what the differences really are.
If you do want to update via kies download the latest from samsung.com/kies but uninstall any previous versions an drivers first. Installing kies will also install drivers.
Alternatively you could download the full VLALH2 fw from sammobile.com/firmware and flash through odin or mobile odin.

You need to be on stock recovery to ota update, unless I'm wrong...

Actually, you can use mobile odin as well. Cwm too im told, but i havent tried.
Ops problem im pretty sure is hes trying to apply a mobilicity ota to a wind phone.
But you are correct as to how it was intended to be used.

no updates because root

i rooted my phone and when i search for software update it says no updates because your phone is modified, i use triangle away and it works but at the same time it don't the only thing that does is searching for updates

Well for starters there is no update.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

once you use triangle away you have to factory reset it to return to stock

There is no update yet.

And no worries man, usually when there is a firmware update we will get our hands on it and have a ROM set and ready to rock before the download from kies would even finish

LMAO!!!! so so so true...

Ive never ran across this problem before with the s2 or 3. Im on the stock injected firmware and want to be able to get updates without having to odin back to stock or flashing a different recovery. How would one go about this? Sorry for thread jacking but figured others will have this question. Thanks.

The previous answers cover it. I went back to stock on my S 3 for the last official ICS update, but was really a WOT. Don't have to ODIN back to stock unless you want to run on stock.
You would probably see an Odin update (which will install the firmware and and Modem when a simple ROM flash would not) pretty soon after it is OTA'd, and you could use this and not have to have the hassle of going back to stock to get it. If it is not a complete ROM, you will have to be sure you are already updated to the firmware that the OTA would be updating.

Stock ROM?

Anyone have the stock rom for Rogers or ATT or any zipped rom for I317

Is the tar file not up on Sammy mobile?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know where to get it ... do you have a link to that site?
Just checked SamMobile. They don't have SGH-I317M firmware.

PLEASE someone post a link to STOCK ROM, or MODEM, or KERNEL
I will highly appreciate it!

You'll have to get someone who is rooted to post a dump. Until the push an OTA update we likely won't have a firmware available. I know it is being monitored on Rogers. If you have different APNs or want a different company stock you will need to send them your info.
Watch on samsung-updates.com as well. Email them your info if you are on a different network. They respond very quickly.

If you can upload that would be great. I don't see the files for SGH-i317m
EDIT: Nevermind just found it. Do I just flash this zip with CWM?
EDIT2: Tried flashing with Odin but kept getting error. I guess I'll wait till there is a custom ROM flashable with CWM that uses the ATT version till I can get my radio working again.

if its the firmware from sammobile you'll need to extract the tar file from it. Then put it in the PDA slot in Odin and flash the tar.
Edit: make sure repartition is NOT checked in Odin :thumbup: bad things will happen if it is

Official AT&T Jellybean 4.1.1 [KIES]

"Good news tonight for AT&T subscribers, as a number of readers are now reporting that Samsung's update to Android 4.1.1 is now available for the Galaxy S III via Kies. We've reached out to the carrier to learn whether any specific improvements are in store, but it's not like we need to tell you that users will be immersed in the goodies of Google Now and the performance enhancements from Project Butter. Word from members of xda-developers reveals that the update weighs in at a substantial 738MB. For those keeping score, AT&T's update to Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S III follows previous deployments from Sprint and T-Mobile..." -Engadget.

You can also use mobile odin pro and enable everroot. If you maintain root, you can use goomanager from the market to install twrp recovery. Seems like there are a number of ways to do this, I just found this the easiest way.

I downloaded from samsungupdates sites and install de .tar file with mobile odin pro... and i kept root sou if u wanna be stock but keeping root i recommend you this way its easy!

Just got my S3 2 weeks ago. Never rooted it. Figured I'd wait until JB update. (Just want to root for tethering, not interested in custom firmware or mods). Can someone post a link to or recommend the safest/easiest wait to root since JB 4.1.1 update?
Thanks

So this can be used with Mobile Odin ?

For People Who Bricked Their Phones Trying to Downgrade from 4.3

if you tried to downgrade your phone back to an earlier version and soft bricked it after having upgraded your phone to the new OTA, Use the odin tar from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=22379
flash that with odin 3.09 and you should be good. i messed up a customers phone because i didnt know about this stupid knox bootloader crap but luckily after tons of searching and bad tars, i remembered sammobile's site and used their tar image and boom its alive!

does your bootload still have knox or has it tripped it with this tar?

Still had Knox unfortunately but at least i got the phone back alive lol it wasn't my phone and i didn't need another brick on my hands

Yes, looks as if they found a way to remove Knox but, that link is for the International Note II. So, hopefully someone will make a fix for the US versions and phones.
