do not double post.
you are currently ON the latest stock firmware for your device. are you wanting to install a custom ROM to get a newer (4.2.2) release?
you can use Rom Manager to update your recovery. once thats done, if you havent done so yet, boot into recovery and make a nandroid (backup). you may need it down the road.

yes!
Yes I want to know how i can update my 4.1.1 once the newer Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update is available.
i have made a nandroid back and i also made a titantiam backup..
is there a newer version of CWM for my phone??rom manager says no.

The 4.2.2 custom roms are located in the Original Android Development section. There is no 4.2.2 update from samsung. Look them over and read up on the flashing process. The link in my signature has some good information.

Question about root and roms

If I root my S3 will I still be able to get the OTA updates? I rooted my Atrix and after that I couldn't get the OTA updates. Also what is the best ROM?

If you don't need a specific feature from the stock firmware (gestures, wifi calling, etc), just get CM or AOKP and save yourself a headache.
Best? As far as stock? I've read LI6 is decent.
Well with my Atrix when Android 3.0 came out I wasn't able to update it because I was rooted. So my question is when Jelly Bean comes out will I be able to update it to Jelly bean if I am rooted or have a custom rom installed?

3.0 wasn't even for phones. If you install custom recovery you will not be able to receive an OTA until you flash the stock recovery. Just use a jellybean ROM.

How can this be true? This is what I did.
Restored a UVALEM nandroid (via CWM). It was the original firmware on the phone when I bought it (no custom install, but I rooted with the Sprint method a couple weeks prior), I just happened to keep this backup.
Reset factory defaults.
Nandroid again for clean UVALEM backup.
Use Software > About phone > Software update to get the UVALH2 update. It was ~90mb.
Phone rebooted after it was done.
Dropped into CWM to make another backup (CWM still here, was never removed).
Downloaded LI6 JB OTA from SamMobile. Installed that from CWM.
I have LI6, never removed CWM. And it is still there. Root should be, although I did not test to confirm.
If you can't receive OTAs with custom recovery/root, how did this work? Is it a feature that was not active in the UVALH2 build? What about the LI6 build I flashed from CWM?

I don't know, clockworkmod is supposed to block the installation of OTA updates.

Hmm, I'm using 6.0.1.2, and it does ask me if I want to disable /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, when I try to exit.

[Q] Want to downgrade from 4.2.2 back to 4.04 but the backup is not found

Using Bell SGS3 running Task AOKP latest 4.2.2 but want to downgrade back to 4.0.4 (stock). I do have a backup of my original 4.0.4 and can see it under clockwork rom manager but not under CWM (after reboot) Its only showing anything ive backed up since upgrading to 4.2.2. Forgot to add that i'm using the 32GB version of the phone, NOT the 16gb.
Reason being i wanted to unlock the phone and keep it rooted and stock. So i guess go to 4.1.1? Whats the best way to do this? thx
You can use Odin to flash back the Stock ROM. I'd recommend flashing the newest Stock ROM since it has the latest (not so recent) updates and security patches. Stock ROM Firmware Download Links HERE
Make sure you are running the latest CWM, as it's likely the file system structure that's causing the issue. My guess is your older backups are in the non 0 folder, while the new ones are in the 0 folder. You can move your older backups to the newer folder and that should fix it, or the easier way is to make sure you are running the latest CWM.

[Q] Sprint GS3 - Unroot to stock 4.3?

So a couple of days ago I got a GS3 running the OTA stock 4.3. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it because I find Touch Wiz kind of clunky. So I decided I would try out Cyanogenmod. I installed it via their new handy installer (as the sprint GS3 is one of the compatible devices). All went well and I got Cyanogenmod 10.2 running smoothly. Now I want to activate the device, but apparently you can't activate a rooted device on sprint. So now i need to get it back to stock 4.3 and I can only seem to find solutions to his problem for devices that have not gotten the 4.3 OTA update and are still running 4.1.2. On the Cyanogenmod installer guide says:
You may perform a full backup from recovery, after flashing recovery (you will have to do this manually, at the moment) and then copy it off the device, if you don't have an external sdcard. If you've already run the installer, you will have to find stock images and flash them using fastboot or Odin.

My problem Is I can't locate any stock 4.3 images with which to try this. If I can get my hands on a stock 4.3 image, would the process be just going into the bootloader and using Odin to flash the 4.3 image?
Can anyone help me out?
You only need to be on a stock tw rom, even if you are rooted it should activate. There are a couple in the development section.

I see, do you know of any any good 4.3 based tw roms? All the ones I'm finding are based on 4.1. Also, do I need to do anything special to flash from Cyanogenmod 10.2 to a touchwiz rom (as Cyanogenmod is AOSP)? I already have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
Nothing special, flash like anything else

I am trying to install the AOKP Rom for my device. I have it all downloaded and know how to install it but I keep getting Status error 7. What is happening? I read a little online and it says this error is for whenever you have the incorrect ROM version? Please help!!
Install the latest cwm onto your phone and flash from recovery mode.

If you already have a custom recovery CWM then just find the most up to date version of it. You obviously installed once already. Also are you referring to stock 4.3?

Also getting Status 7 error
I had TWRP installed (whatever ver comes with toolbox app)
Read reply, and installed latest version of CWM Touch from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152769
Still getting Status 7 on two different ROMs.
Now, I had been on 4.1.1, rooted and flashed a custom ROM no problem
Had some problems with my TMO service (I have another thread in this forum) and ended up doing an ODIN flash back to stock (4.0.4)
Which I have now sitting at stock, rooted. Is it possible that I'm getting the status 7 because both of the ROM's I'm attempting to flash are 4.4.2 and that is too big of a leap from 4.0.4? I'm going to grab a 4.1.x rom now to see if any different, but wanted to share history and that I was getting same error
The easiest way for me to get 4.4.2 onto an s3 was this:
1) copy a custom rom to your sd card (internal or external)
2) use Odin to flash back to any stock rom for your phone;
3) use Odin to install the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery from here (get the tar version and flash in PDA): http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att;
4) update to the most recent non-4.3 bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
5) do a full wipe in recovery;
6) flash a custom 4.4.2-based ROM from recovery.

Your main problem is that you need an updated bootloader. Please read up on this as it has been covered in great and very extensive detail throughout these forums. One bootloader will cause you to no longer to be capable of using ODIN to flash back to any stock based ROM without bricking your phone so you need to be careful.

Read more and you will see that cwm recovery is highly recommended for flashing 4.4.2 roms. Some roms dont flash good with twrp.

How to flash roms not based off 4.1.2 JB?

Hi, I'm having issues flashing roms which aren't based off of 4.1.2 firmware. I am rooted on 4.1.2 JB and have flashed a few of the 4.1.2 roms on my tmobile s3 t999, when I attempt anything else it fails with "error 7" for example cm10 and 11 or 4.3/4.4. Please Help? Thanks.
1. Make sure you're on latest version of recovery.
2. You may need to ODIN to a newer version/bootloader.

I tried flashing over the bootloader update found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282603
and am receiving a "status 7" error once again. I restored a backup which contained no mods, downloaded rootkeeper and booted into cwm tried flashing the updated zip, it returned a status 7 error. I'm not sure how to proceed. I am currently using 4.1.2 axis with trinity kernel. I cant seem to flash anything whatsoever aside from roms based off 4.1.2. Can someone help me step-by-step?
thanks
Update recovery
thanks guys. Success!!!
