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.

I have the same issue like yours few days ago and i manage to solve it. The problem lies with the root file. Try not to root with cf-auto-root file, search and get CWM (cwm6-root-n7100.zip). It works like charm after the installation.... Good Luck Bro =DD

OTA requires stock recovery, not custom recovery. It downloads, then but reboots expecting stock recovery.

Yellow COM indication is an older (but usable) version like v1.85. You must have used v..3, where blue is the new yellow. It's ok.

You could try v. 1.85 Odin. It's in the CF Auto Root zip among other sources. Then there's the Samsung Kies instructions I posted above, if needed.

Indication of a bad download. You could try redownloading the update. MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility can save this trouble by checking downloaded files before attempting to flash.

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.
Thanks for publishing this info. =)

The link is if the i747m but I used the same process just with the i747 files.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? I think as long as you installed the 4.1.1 modem, you will be able to unlock you phone.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?
Also...for those wondering if you can FREE UNLOCK: NO. I get only a blank service menu
Input on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Especially the 3rd question

Any ideas on going back to 4.3? Im currently downloading Samsung Kies. Any objections to that?

Followed the directions from a rooted 4.3 install and everything worked flawlessly. Thanks!!!

[Q] Stuck on rooted stock 4.1.2 firmware and I can't seem to do anything about it.

I'd love to update my firmware to KitKat but nothing I do will let me update it. When I do an OTA update it goes to 27% and then fails (I've tried this multiple times and it ALWAYS fails at 27%)
So far I have tried these other methods:
Installed (and uninstalled/rebooting my PC) Kies multiple times and tried various methods of upgrading it through there like trying download mode, which the phone didn't even recognize because it stayed on "Connecting" until it timed out, but it says I'm on the most current version which is total BS. I then flashed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644) via Odin to see if that would help updating it OTA but it didn't. It still stopped at 27%. I've done a few factory resets and tried each method again after each time. Still nothing works.
Is there anything you can suggest to help?

What bootloader do you have ??
If you have either the official 4.3 or 4.4 loader. ..The flash will fail because those bootloaders cannot be overwritten. ..g

I did a factory reset before flashing that ROM via Odin.
My firmware is only 4.1.2 so I'm pretty sure I don't have either the 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader but I don't know which I have for certain. I do know I used the rom I linked to earlier to root my phone when I first rooted it. ChainFire AutoRoot if that helps.
I was looking at installing SaberKat 1.5 because it sounded like a good option due to the lack of bloat and a few tweaks.

Okay. ..
If you have the 4.1.2 loader that isn't the problem. ..
I'd just flash Zens 4.4.2 rom...and then you can retain your 4.1 loader... (good)...
Locate the TWRP recovery thread in development. ..and flash the new recovery via Odin....then flash Zens stock 4.4.2 rom....and done...g
Here ya go...see the first page of the thread. ..
Once you have TWRP...you can flash the rom above. ..or any 4.4 build...
