If you are running stock, check if an OTA is available for you.
If not, you can alway get it from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com... links to official firmwares below.

Installation & root method with CF-Root by @SkyboneNoya
Update:
If you already have a custom recovery installed :
Make a recovery backup of your current rom
(to restore to after you get a custom recovery installed and save it to your computer as well as backing up all SD cards... It’s just a good practice.)
If coming from any other ROM than stock 4.1.2 :
Install 4.1.2 update with odin via SamMobile.com
Clear data/cache/dalvik in recovery (or hang on the Samsung logo for the night).
Upgrade to 4.3 OTA or via Odin
Hint : Use provided links to your carriers images above!
Root method
Go to [SGH-I747/M] CF-Auto-Root|
Follow the steps on post 2 in that thread.
Once rebooted: open up SuperSU, click OK then normal and reboot.
I used the KNOX uninstaller and when trying to restore back to stock I had google apps issue warning locking me out of the system. So use at your own discretion.
You should be good to go.
The rest is pretty easy.
Also, you might have trouble installing custom roms at this point. I747MVLUEMK5 is probably not listed in the installers yet. That's a whole other story.
Other options here as well if the above didn’t work for you. |Guide|How-To| Root & Install Custom Recovery for 4.3 Update |22 Nov 2013|
To enable USB debugging through Developer Options, go in System Settings/About and click on build number about 7 times. (old google trick if you didn’t know)

WARNING : Carrier IQ seems to be present for all 3 major carriers as found here by @DexedrineXR

Yeah, same thing here ... and also wait for the day at the office to be over.
And it's only 8h25 am... damn! lol

I wonder if we are going to run into the same downgrade problems that the At&t ota had.
Can anybody who updated post a screen shot of their about screen in settings please?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Just completed the update. So far, so good.
Some minor (but nice) visual enhancements, speed is at least as good as before, nothing to complain about but nothing groundbreaking (but nobody was expecting that from 4.3).
Can't post a screeshot right now but baseband is mk5 and kernel is 3.0.31-2140838
I updated with kies and I'm with Rogers.
I haven't done a factory reset (like I usually do after a major update) but the responsiveness of my phone makes me believe it may not be necessary. Time will tell.

If you are stock, unrooted, you'll easily update over the air.
If you're going the factory image way using of the above links, you'll need to use either Odin or Mobile Odin.

Ok thanks.

Updating the baseband
Hi, I am running my s3 i747m fido on Quantum Rom V3 RC3 kitkat 4.4. I was wondering can i flash the Fido baseband using recovery. (I have Clockwork Mod for my recovery screen). Or do I need to go back to stock to do this first?
thanks

Was on quantam, downloaded this and flashed it via odin, installed fine but taking forever to boot just samsung and the led is blue

what if I use only clockworkmod to flash it? Will it brick my phone ?
Also I bought the phone from Rogers but I am using it with Fido. Which baseband should I use Fido or Rogers?

The files on sammobile are full firmware files, which include bootloader, modem etc. You can use kies or odin to flash them but i don't think you can through cwm.
I'd use the Rogers firmware if it was me, but I can't be sure.

Use whatever firmware you got with the phone. Rogers would come with Rogers.

Thanks for the replies.
Because I am not too familiar with Odin, If I go back to stock and install the 4.3 firmware via OTA then root the phone and install Quantum Rom will the firmware still be updated? Sorry if it is a newb questions.
Thanks.

No it won't work. Since it is a stock rom it most likely will not work, he won't be able to call, text, or use data.

Based on the OP, the phone is currently running Verizon's 4.1 which leads me to believe the bootloader has not been updated beyond 4.1.2 since recovery mode is accessible; therefore, I think flashing 4.11 or 4.1.2 stock roms would be fine.
As always, it's best to check the installed bootloader before proceeding with any more flashes.
I used the stock firmware from here to downgrade my Bell s3 from stock 4.1.2 to stock 4.1.1.

Need help on ODIN flash

Guys
My mobile model is SM-N750 (Indian edition).
I have successfully flashed stock firmware thru ODIN earlier. Recently I changed my firmware to Pakistan from Sammobile.
Now I like to go back to Indian firmware, however it is failing again & again. I am though successfully able to flash Pakistan firmware again.
Phone is working properly but cant go back to Indian firmware.
Please check.
I know how to flash in ODIN. This is something diff.

1- Try another source of odin, same version but another source
2- Try flashing the firmware more than once, it will work in one of them
3- Try different firmware and see if it worker, then the problem is with the firmware
4- Make sure the files are for your mobile version

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 3 firmware files. No luck.
I think I guess what is the issue. Pak firmware version is higher than Indian firmware version. So the bootloader has been changed. That is the reason it is not allowing to install a lower bootloader firmware.
I hope once sammobile will have KK firmware downloadable I would be able to flash that.

I am successfully able to flash Indian Kitkat ROM from Sammobile.
So the point to be noted...You can not go back to old firmware once you upgraded to new one.

Problems upgrading Canadian T805W to MM

I'm struggling with getting my Canadian T805W upgraded to Marshmallow. Everything I try fails. I was running Phoenix Rom, but reverted back to stock Lollipop in the hopes that would help. It didn't.
Some things I've tried:
Latest T805 MM ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ficial-firmware-selection-sm-t700-sm-t2960225 - "Re-Partition operation failed."
Bootloaders:
T805XXU1CPI3 and T805XXU1CPJ1 using Odin 3.1.23 and Odin 1.85 - Both hang on "Get PIT for mapping..." and eventually fail.
Modem:
T805XXU1CPH6 - same as above
Has anyone out there had any luck with upgrading a Canadian T805W to MM? Any help at all would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

The T805W requires a specific firmware for your region. Download the correct firmware for your device.

Well, since there's never been a MM release in this region, I guess I'm screwed.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Maybe not.
Do you have root?
Luckily for you Samsung did not upgrade the bootloader, so the Lollipop bootloader is compatible with Marshmallow.
To update you should be able to flash the firmware with FLASHFIRE. Flashfire won't flash the bootloader, but you should be able to update the rest of the firmware.
I would also maybe suggest not updating the modem either for compatibility sake.
Download a suitable stock MM firmware and flash with FLASHFIRE.
What is your actual region and carrier as there are actually several SM-T805W firmwares available?

Yes, rooted and has the latest TWRP installed.
That's fantastic news about the bootloader compatibility!
Region is Canada and the original carrier is Rogers. It's sim unlocked, but I'm not using LTE with my current provider.
Thanks so much for your help!

Nougat?

Now that I know that the 5.X bootloader would work with 6.X, I took the chance that it would work with 7.X. I have Resurrection Remix (7.1.2) installed now and it is running great.
