Well you have a att model it is going to take a very very very very long time before you see an update. Just wait for a rom here it will be so much better and sooner than anything att will give you.

Go to
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/main/supportMain.do
To get your i317m model's Samsung Kies software
You can check for updates through that.
Make sure you back up everything before updating.
Hit the THANKS if I helped

No you can't just update through kies.
You have to be on one of the stock ROMs supported by Samsung first for kies to recognize a starting point. And it is possible to get into a reboot loop coming from a custom ROM. After you flash the stock ROM using Odin After your phone reboots, pull the battery, put it back in, go to recovery and reset/factory reset/clear cache & data so your stock ROM starts out clean.
This will eliminate the boot loop possibility.
And frankly since you're going to have to do a stock ROM flash why not just get the newest release you are aiming for and just flash it with Odin that way you don't have to deal with kies !
This is your newest Bell release it is Android 4.1.2 so if you have a thing for 4.2.2 Samsung hasn't released it.

Just remember to back up before you start messing with flashing back to stock.

You can use kies to update from other rom too.
Open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
You need your Sr number to proceed, you can find in setting - about device or from back side of device under battery.

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.

You are clueless. Stop messing with phones, you have no idea what you're doing.

Replacement Help

Ok, I recently cracked my screen and through 5 att reps and some choice words I was able to get a replacement phone free of charge. My problem is that my current phone is rooted with the serenity rom installed and my backup isn't found on the phone, even though I did back it up. Does anyone know where I can get the original ics rom to flash back on my phone?

You have a few options. You can find the stock ROM here: http://samsung-updates.com/
and you can flash it with Odin. This will get rid of your custom recovery too.
Or you can download http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
which is a nifty program that Samsung put together. Go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and follow the instructions.
That will find the latest stock ROM for your phone (using the Model and S/N you provide) and flash it for you. This is the same
as using Odin but it can be easier.
Ok thanks dude!

UnRoot Note 2?

Can someone please direct me to the forum so I can download the factory firmware for my AT&T Galaxy Note 2. I currently have it rooted and I want to go back to factory firmware and I am having trouble finding it on the XDA forums. I am running the firmware 4.1.2 with the latest OTA update/patch that I received from AT&T. When I go to Kies it says that my firmware is not supported by Kies.

[Q] Upgrading a rooted M919UVUAMDB

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB.
So if i get it right. Only way to upgrade is to
Odin to stock.
Upgrade and break root.
Root with upgrade.
Re Flash upgraded stock.
Pretty much. Or you can use Skies to do recovery to the lastest firmware, then root again.

Been searching for last hour or two and this is only thread I've found this specific topic. Just got S4 today coming from a GNex so somethings are new to me.
Is there a detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this?
I'm also rooted on M919UVUAMDB and trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to MDL so that I can re-root again.
Install Kies. Under Tools setting, select recovery and put your phone to download mode. Let Kies do the rest.

Thanks for clarifying. Just to double check, would cwm recovery affect the kies firmware recovery process?
No. Kies would wipe it off during recovery process and install the latest firmware.

lol I've searched around too, but made my own conclusions. ahha
Not attempting to promote any particular roms but Wicked v2 is running mdl update with the mdb modem and radio and smoother than silk on s4, Revolt requires manualy updating with setuidremoval but has a great writeup how to do so as does Infamous S4, I personally can confirm Revolt and Wicked are working flawless as long as the minimal theming currently in both is fine with you.

thats the problem it wont let me it said no updates available
If you are rooted or have a non-3e recovery ...the update attempt will fail ..
If you are completely stock you can manually set the date of the device ahead and try the update again...
If the attempt continues to fail ...then go to sammobile.com and pull the UCAMA4 build and push it to the device via Odin...then repeat the update attempt..
Once the device is updated to the latest UCAMC3 build ...you can root and use triangle away to reset your flash counter if desired...
But for now ...you should try Odin if manual updates are failing on a stock device ....g
