I get the notification to update to 4.3 but when I do it does not take. I go to about and I'm still on 4.1.3. I have rooted my phone so not sure if that had something to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to have a stock ROM and stock recovery to update. Although if I was you I would flash a custom version from here on XDA. They run better and you won't have to worry about trying to root with Knox.

My phone is fully stock and it won't take for me either. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I've been searching and have yet to find a complete guide or one stop shop for unrooting and putting back to factory. I'm rooted with beastmod, synergy kernel, and cwm recovery. I do not have a stock .tar or nandroid backup. Can anyone help with providing instructions on how to do this? I want to be unrooted, stock rom, and stock recovery. Basically like how it was out of the box.

Very nice, thank you. This gets rid of root correct? Samsung updates will be pushed to the phone everything properly functioning?

You need to odin back to stock.. download the .tar in development section and follow directions. Its easy. You will need this if you ever want to go back to stock or un root for warranty etc

Yea that's what I was afraid of, lol. Honest opinion though, is it worth going back to stock this early? I'm sure no updates have been implemented yet right?

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.
Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?

If you did a nand backup, it will install the bloat again and also with the .tar file unless stated bloat has been removed.

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.
I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?
I'm still on the stock rom

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself
Official stock is out. Check the general forum.

My Sprint SGS3 is flash with a donor to Boost Mobile and also is rooted wirh Superuser and for some reason I cant seem to be able to do a System update. Can anybody help I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff... but my understanding is that if you don't have stock rom and stock recovery, you're pretty much stuck with what you got. Tons of custom rom out there though that have all the nifty software upgrades, just take a look around XDA.

You trying to flash a factory rom update? If so it's not going to work with custom recovery. Have to have stock recovery. Also, being that it's flashed to Boost, it may not work with stock recovery either.

What i would suggest you do is go to the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ by @flastnoles11 at the top of this thread you cant miss it and look for custom recoveries FAQ and you can flash stock recovery over CWM recovery in CWM recovery if that makes sense then call the person that flashed your phone and make sure you can do system updates cause it could kick your flash trying to update it since your not on sprint.

You may want to check out THIS thread.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209418
But you can take the update and it will not remove your flash. However, it is failing right now because it is signed with special keys and the custom recovery cannot verify them.
Just read the thread I linked and follow the directions for updating.
Does anyone have a baseband fix. I can't connect to the Sprint mobile network. I feel like i've tried everything. Any ideas? I've tried going back to stock, flashing radios/modems/kernels. Any help would be appreciated.
What did you do to get this problem? Knowing the background will help us help you.

Did you flash Aospa 4 or cm11 through TWRP? if I remember in both threads they say to flash via CWM or you'll lose your baseband. You might have to flash a total stock image via Odin to fix it.

yeah i flashed Aospa, but i did do it through CWM...for some reason my SD card wouldn't work after the update so I went to downgrade back to stock. I tried flashing from ODIN with the stock image but it was failing at the boot.img part every time. Maybe I got a bad stock image? I'll search for the stock through xda and re download and try. just sucks because it took almost two hours to download. thanks again for everyone's help.
Well I have lost baseband along with all the other info countless times. The fix is not very hard. If you still need help I can help you out later today.

I would odin flash back to 4.2 to avoid Knox if you don't have it already. Sounds like you were already flashing custom Roms.
