[Q] My gs3 won't update to 4.1.2? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been looking around and apperently the T-Mobile gs3 got 4.1.2 around May 13 but I'm on 4.1.1 and when i click on software update it says device is up to date.
Am I just looking at all fake threads or what?
Stock this...
Stock everything...
I've updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1....
Question: Why can't I update to 4.1.2?
Also Samsung kies does not work with my phone, or computer. So don't say that, I've tried for months to fix kies.

Are you sure your S3 is the t999? You'd be surprised at the number of people that don't know what model of a phone they have. Some people think they have one model, when they actually have the other.

Hahaha yes I am 100% positive this is a T-Mobile T999 Galaxy s3. I just heard of this ota update but still, no luck with the software update button.

Just checking lol.
Try this a few times:
1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All
2. Find Google Services Framework.
3. Tap on Force Stop.
4. Select Clear Data.
5. Head back to the Settings, go to About, and check for a System Update.
Then you should see an update available.
You're not really missing out on anything though. From reading, the 4.1.2 update has caused horrible battery life as well as slowing down the phone. I can't stand touchwhiz, so I cant share my personal experience with the update.

Still no luck with clearing data. And I really dont want to go through the flashing process. ..

They release the ota updates incrementally. I still cant get it that way here. Only other option is flashing it.

I thought you could update with kies

You probably can. Personally, I cant stand kies and will never recommend using it. I think many others would agree. If youre willing to update using kies, why not just flash via odin?

Another perspective. Kies has been unreliable for me once and it was because my computer went to sleep in the middle of an update. Otherwise as long as your drivers are up to date it works just fine. And I'd say kies is safer IMO than Odin. And I've used Odin since the sgs days. Never have a problem with that neither. Its all user pref.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Ive just never had any use for kies personally, and have helped a number of people who had nothing but problems when trying to use it.
Plus if kies is on your computer Odin doesn't function properly.
It is personal preference, but imo its just not worth the hassle it often causes.

Agree. I have kies on my Mac since Odin doesn't work for Mac and Odin on PC when i want to root my phone. Seems to work for me. When in only had my PC I only used Odin.

[Q] Note t889v-Wind Mobile software update?

Well i post this here because us wind users don't have the luxury of having a separate forum section for us. And the model number t889v is quite similar to tmobiles t889.
My question is that when will the software update arrive for this phone? I check everyday and nothing thus far. I do not want to root it because the only reason i would root my previous phone was to overclock to compensate for lag. however this is not needed for this phone so why bother. Besides im waiting for the OTA update.
Rooting doesnt stop you from getting the update.

I think you went past the "STOP HERE" part of the rooting process...
No I was getting the modified error once I started to allow apps such as set cpu and etc gain access. I found out that if you uninstall them and click forget in the supersu app and reboot, the device status will go back to normal allowing you to check for updates.
Now my question is, if you use root keeper, will that allow you to install update and not lose root like on my old s3?

Yeah, me too. I am still waiting for the ota update. I tried to update using kies but it said its unable to update software for my version :s ?.. then I went to tools and update and initialize thingy and tried doing that.. it downloaded and installed some update but i didnt get the newest because I still dont have multiview...
This is pretty anoying coming from a galaxy nexus
so anyone update to 4.3?

Just got the UPDATE!

Just got the Samsung Update available on my phone. It might be for multiwindow function. Don't think I can install it due to being on a custom ROM, so I don't know what it will include.
No update here, running stock rom...anybody else get it?

OP, where you from? And what carrier?
Rogers in Canadiana with nothing yet. I did hear rumours of an update for the S3 and quite possibly the Note 2's starting tomorrow though. But I've given up on rumours.
AT&T here in the US and completely stock Note 2 and no update via Kies or AT&T that I can see.
U got that because u on a custom Rom. Every one I tried I have that notification.
Nada. Simmer down.

If you have a custom ROM, you won't receive ota updates. You said you "received" an update? Did you install it?

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No update on the Rogers note 2.
I'm rooted and I checked for the OTA update and their was no update, said I had the latest version. I want to go back to stock rom now because every time I read about installing a custom rom it breaks something else on your phone and you have to wait for a fix for that.
Rooting your phone with custom roms takes too much time and energy. I don't have time to research different roms and play with my phone everyday. Ill just wait for ATT to come out with their updates, So if someone can link me to have to get back to ATT's I317 stock rom that will be great, thanks.
This OP's started a raucous, and does anybody notice that they've miraculously gone AWOL since the 1st post...??? Oh, and 0 (zero) individuals have successfully retrieved this "phantom" update?! Seems like a weak (yet successful) attempt at stirring the pot,
if you ask me...
Just my $.02...
I didn't install it because I was on a custom ROM.
AT&T and using jedi 3.1
If you're on a custom ROM, especially if it's a port, then you shouldn't even bother starting a thread like this.
I am on a custom Rom and also got the update notification, but it is just to 'OK' the software updating service.

Are you looking to flash a custom ROM? if so, some of them like Jedi have it built in already, and it's very close to stock. Also, AT&T now offers multi Window with their most recent update. Like poster above me said, definitely read some more.

I tried to update with the ota on my rooted stock. It became too much of a fight, so I went with cleanrom 3.5. Has everything, no need to wipe, no loss of apps or data, keeps me on stock kernel and tw. I recommend that route over banging your head against the wall.

Who downloaded 4.1.2 update?

Is anyone able to download the update ota? When I check for it it gives me a weird message .. update is provided to users in order they request it. Try later....
What the hell?
Does this mean we are actually getting that update and did anyone successfully download it ota by checking for one?
Is so what is different? Someone mentioned it has a radio update? Will it make the 4g speeds faster?
Thanks in advance

You're not getting 4g anyhow. Because this phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile's 4g network.

Got my OTA update the night of Feb 5th. I dont notice a difference since installing but it is only a small update anyway.
So why does mine doesn't let me update it.. keeps saying update is in order which it was requested in or something like that.. what the hell it's 4 days already and I cannot download it.. it says try again... what the freak... is it a normal thing with this update? What do they mean in order that the update was requested.. how can someone request it before me if they are on T-Mobile as me? Makes me confused... last ota update just said there is a new version available...
Can anyone explain?

ATT Pushing OTA Update Today

ATT just tried to push an OTA update to my Note 2. I don't know what is in this update. I suspect it is 4.3. At least one of the local dealers told me they expected it any day. Unfortunately, with my rooted phone and missing some ATT bloatware, ATT OTA updates always fail for me. They download OK. But when they try to install it fails.
Did anyone else get this update? Do you know what it is?
I will probably just take one of the 4.3 (or 4.4) ROMs from here. But I am curious what it is.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yes I am stock and rooted. But I have deleted a bunch of the ATT Bloatware. My understanding is that updates won't install without some of that stuff. Apparently it checks during the update process. I don't really want to reinstall all that junk just to get the updates.

The S4 Actives had the same problem when we all went to a pre-release firmware... Could download current firmware OTA but failed on install. Only solution was to go to the Samsung rep at best buy to force the update (with their secret software).
Any idea of the size of the update that's being pushed?
