Can you go straight from AOKP or another rom to 4.1.1 jelly bean?

I'm currently using AOKP build 40 and I want Jelly Bean 4.1.1, do I have to flash 4.0.4 ICS and then download Jelly Bean from there, or can I go straight to Jelly Bean?
If you want to stick with the custom AOKP ROM, follow their instructions. Some recommend wipes others don't.
If you want to go to STOCK 4.1.1, you need to flash stock 4.1 then apply the update manually. There's no factory images for 4.1.1 yet.

I already backed everything up and wiped my phone lol, I was planning on going back to 4.0.4 first but it said there was an error when I tried to flash it from CWM. Since I already wiped everything should I just flash 4.1 then? And if so is it gonna be any different from the 4.1 from the OTA update?
EDIT: Apparently from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764536 I need to be on 4.0.4 first, where can I find a link to download 4.0.4?

Thank you fooman! I already flashed an AXI0M engage 4.1 jelly bean though lol, do you think it will be the same thing as jelly bean from the OTA update, or should I just leave it?
You can follow efrant's most excellent guide to return to official 4.0.4. The guide contains all the links you will need.
Only if you want to stay stock does any of that apply. If you find a custom rom that is 4.1.1 just follow the instuctions in that thread. All it is is just pretty much flashing a different rom, nothing too different.

[ARC S] Stuck at Sony logo after flashing Jelly Bean

The flashing process was completed, phone rebooted but now it's getting stuck everytime I turn it on on Sony logo, I can't even enter recovery mode :/ . Any ideas what I can do? Would be great if you can help... Thanks.

you'll have to download a ftf that you want such as stock ics and then use flashtool to flash to your phone just like what you did before. there are abundant guides on youtube on how to do it if you did it wrong previously here's one
thank you so much it works now

[Q] Flashing a ROM after upgrading

Hello, I upgraded my S3 to the new jelly bean update via KIES. I don't really like the stock feel and look. I was rooted and had a rom flashed for the old droid razr maxx I used to have. Is there a way I can root and flash a new rom over the newly upgraded JB software? I downloaded the s3 toolkit but it shows rooting for the ICS. I am afraid I will brick my new S3 and I don't want that to happen. I just want to get a custom rom going for better battery life and the other additional options. Could someone please offer some insight?

Try here; there are pre-rooted, but otherwise stock, Jelly Bean images and instructions for flashing them that should fit your needs.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I recommend you flash the stock rooted ICS ROM first. Look in the dev section for Mr.Robinson's thread. Has everything you need. The reason I suggest ICS rooted is because jb has the new boot loader which raises the flash counter if you use a custom recovery. Also read the thread to back up your efs folder.better safe than sorry.

How do I get 4.1 on my phone?

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III and the last time I updated to 4.0.4 I was told I needed to get a Deodexed file, so I did, but I can't find that for 4.1
I have clockworkmod because I just booted into it and saw it, and I've got root on my phone. What do I need to do to get jelly bean and keep root?

I would recommend doing it through Odin to get all the partitions.

need to restore phone but how do I keep jelly bean ?

I hope someone can help with a dilemma I have.
I need to flash back to stock rom and do a factory reset on my AT&T SGIII - this I know how to do . However, what I don't know is if the links I've found for tar files for a stock restore (like the one posted here)are for the ice cream sandwich version that launched with the phone, or the newer jelly bean version.
If it is the older version, once I'm done restoring it back to stock and factory settings, will I get an option to update to jelly bean thru AT&T?
Or do I need to find a stock AT&T jelly bean file to flash? If so, where do I find that?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks

this shouldnt be posted here check the general section for going back to stock
Did you update your phone to AT&T 4.3 stock rom via an OTA update? If you did, do not flash any rom that includes an older bootloader as the flash will brick your phone.

No. Ever since going to the Sonic FreeGS3 Resurrection rom, I have been on the 4.1.1 version. I've never been to a more current version than that since that was the last version update for this rom and I liked it just fine.
Even though I'm not wild about having to return to stock, I am at least excited about (hopefully) being able to go up to the latest version released by AT&T. But I wasn't sure if I need to flash a stock 4.3 version AT&T rom (or even where to find that) or if I could just flash the original released stock rom and then be prompted with OTA updates to go to the newer versions.
Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated.
The latest version of the AT&T ROM is 4.3 which can be done via an OTA update or Kies from a stock 4.1.1 AT&T ROM.
Any reason you need to return to stock? Personally, I would not go near 4.3 as it's not required to install KK ROMS and, once on 4.3, rooting, etc. becomes more complicated.

I have to for work. That's the only reason I'm going back to a stock rom. Plus I want to trade my phone in after a few more months once my contract is up.
