lol you guys. I think most of you that can't get it working are too lazy to reinstall stock rom. You CANNOT just run the OTA over your existing (possibly modified, custom rom) ICS release! Flash EXACTLY what the OP has told you to! then you don't even need to edit the updater script. Don't forget to wipe/factory reset. It works fine for me...first try.
[Galaxy S III General] Cola-Wodka:
Format your sd using your sgs3. You can't update when sd card is exfat formatted!
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
To the guys having the Status 7 error: Try this: Remove all of the lines containing the word Assert(not the one on the end though) in the Updater-script file and flash it through CWM(any custom kernel will do, I used cf-root 6.4). EDIT: Please report if it boots
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
Wait forever..
[Galaxy S III General] InsteadWoolf:
Tired and with a big headache.

Ok ok, I tried everything, but it doesn't boot, even with the uptater-script edited as it should.

I think that the better option is wait for another leak from Sammobile.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
I don't see why people are removing anything except for lines 2-5 in the updater script, that's all I removed and it flashed fine.

Edit: stock lg8 and xxlh1 modem. That's it.
[Galaxy S III General] eastonfr:
Did you flash via cwm or stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III General] prawnballs:
Guessing you flashed through cwm rather than stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Yes to the two guys above, flashed from cwm.

Flash lg8 via Odin, cf-root, factory reset, flash LH1 modem, and flash ota update after removing lines 2-5 from updater script.
[Galaxy S III General] Pyr0x64:
yes, flash the stock rom,

then flash cf root,

then flash the modem,

then back into cwm recovery to flash the modified update zip

then you can boot back into download mode and flash cf root again
[Galaxy S III General] saldawop:
Yep.Same here. Flashed Stock ROM just before trying to install the OTA zip file.
[Galaxy S III General] Superuser_x:
Waiting for official release actually...not a leak .
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
I wouldn't be surprised if this was the official release.
[Galaxy S III General] tridibsahabd:
Did you flash CF root 6.4 after you flashed stock rom? you cant install this package on stock recovery
[Galaxy S III General] saldawop:
Yes
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Yep me too
[Galaxy S III General] IWastedTwoMinutesOnYou:
some say it works flashing from proper BTU file and then just OTA
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Now that many seem to have it, are there any bugs with this one?

Memleak

Hwcomposer

Borked tether

etc.
[Galaxy S III General] IWastedTwoMinutesOnYou:
as there were two BTU releases, one with I9300XXLG8 modem and second one like week later with modem fix and I9300XXLH1 modem file, both labeled I9300XXBLG8.
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
Best Steps to FLASH using Mobile ODIN!!

1. Download I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU from http://www.hotfile.com/dl/166147603/2ae2dfe/I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU.zip.html

2. Download Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300-BTU-JB_4_1_1-I9300XXBLH4-OTA-INTERNAL from http://www.sendspace.com/file/o0ruly

3. Download LH1 Modem.

4. Open Mobile ODIN and Open file, select BTU FW in that.

5. Change the recovery file in Mobile ODIN to CF Root 6.4

6. Select data wile and dalvik wipe and press Flash.

7. Start the phone and reboot into recovery.

8. Flash the Modem LH1 and Flash OTA update in CWM.

9. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache again and boot the device..

YOU ARE NOW ON OFFICIAL JB.. Taste it and share.. :D :good:
[Galaxy S III General] thyttel:
Haven't noticed any so far. But only been up and running since release an hour ago. But looks like this could very well be the one that will be send out for official release.

[Galaxy S III General] Superuser_x:
I beg to differ...

Let us wait and watch...
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Even after flashing stock via Odin?

If it comes to it just remove that one from the updater-script.
[Galaxy S III General] Maxi66:
Can we flash "Zip"-files from Mobile Odin ?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Have you tried it?
[Galaxy S III General] LPirro:
What about dialer/paid apps?
[Galaxy S III General] Damool:
Would that work with mobile odin lite, or does it need the pro version?
[Galaxy S III General] Noxis:
Worked for me, all I did was remove these 2 lines from the updater script and flash in CWM recovery mode:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "m0" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "m0");

UK phone on release day. It already has LG8.

However I prefer CM10.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
No mem leak so far, running it a while.

Hwcomposer is working fine since its a Sammy official JB.

Not sure about tether.
[Galaxy S III General] cevbr:
i share the same opinion... wouldnt be suprised if this version would be the final..

only saw 2 mini bugs so far...

1)when installing apps a msg apperrs saying "s note stoped"

2) using gps.. the blue center point is bliking.. not sure if this is supposed to be like this one.. or its a bug
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Working fine for me.

Both of them
[Galaxy S III General] Gargy81:
Installed LG8, installed LH1 modem, CWM 6.4 and changed the update script (deleted lines 2-5). When I try to flash I get Status 6 error...

Any idea?
[Galaxy S III General] LPirro:
And the Stability/Project butter?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sounds like you've incorrectly edited the updater-script. Did you just use notepad? Might need notepad++ for it.
[Galaxy S III General] faremoney:
installed it with this method, all went fine, thanks FiraX :)
[Galaxy S III General] tridibsahabd:
Status 6? well that's new. What did it say? can you post that part of the log?
[Galaxy S III General] Noxis:
Everything works except the actual phone bit. I can't hear anyone speak and they cant hear me. The phone rings and I can play music fine.

Edit: Resetting the phone by removing the battery made that work. Weird.
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
No Memory Leak? No issue on Contacts nor Dialer? And what about audio in calls? Tried cheking butter against other ROM's for example? Any fps test or something?

Willing to see this on newer ROMs rooted, rebuilt and tweaked as usual :D Can't wait for it!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Its great, I'm keeping it as my daily driver.

Have all my apps downloaded and restored with titanium backup.

No problem so far.

Also some people are saying that they get s notes has closed error when installing apps, I have never seen it but that's not to say its not happening to them.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Does exFAT formatted sd cards work? I have the Sandisk MicroSDXC 64GB which is formatted to exFAT as stock and I don't really feel like limiting myself with FAT32 which only support 4GB files at once.
[Galaxy S III General] saldawop:
Followed these instructions, but used desktop Odin, getting same error message I posted above.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
It should, its a Sammy ROM so I can't see why they wouldn't put exfat support in!
[Galaxy S III General] cevbr:
so far it is 100% stable.. like i said.. only mini bug is maps bliking blue point (not fixed as should be ) and "s voice stopped" when installing new apps.. but it doest not prevent from installing anything

project butter is noticeable... when closing and opneing apps menu.. is like instantly!

calls working fine too

videos ok
[Galaxy S III General] Gargy81:
Guess you're right... Downloaded the script someone pasted link some posts back, pushed it into zip and updated.

Patching system...

Finger crossed!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Ok, thanks! By the way, do you think this method would work to get JB? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30317540&postcount=315

Would I even need to edit the updater-script beforehand? Could you upload and send me your edited file?
[Galaxy S III General] Aerys:
You can definitely feel A LOT of butter in this Rom. Way more stable then the previous leaked Rom and waaaay faster.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Did you use Notepad++ to do the editing and winrar for the compressing?
[Galaxy S III General] luizffgarcia:
EDIT: This one:

- Install BTU BLG8

- Factory reset (cause i was coming from CM9)

- CF-Root

- Enter CWM

- Install LH1 Modem.zip

- Install JB Update.zip

- (Wipe/Factory reset for good measure)

Guys, this method worked for me too.
[Galaxy S III General] faremoney:
maybe is a noob question but... anyone knows if i can root this rom with the classic cf-root method via odin?
[Galaxy S III General] exhardy:
after couple times of trying,

I've found that you should use the stock ROM with LG8 modem which is built on 26 July, or simply

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

NOT the one with the LH1 modem

I can flash the ota file with this stock rom without editing the script thingy,

the LH1 full image contains some updated apk that the OTA zip doesn't accept
[Galaxy S III General] saldawop:
Yes I did
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Ya that looks good! Also the one posted just above this post should work too! I'll post a link to my updater script in a sec.

http://db.tt/ONjgUKs5

I was on stock LG8 with original lg8 modem and flashed LH1 modem and this updater script with only lines 2-5 removed.
[Galaxy S III General] tridibsahabd:
Either you're really unfortunate, or you're missing out on some critical instruction. You seem to be doing everything as advised, but one of the only few left who couldn't successfully install.

Are you sure it's the right base rom?
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Got it booted without editing any updater script, its up and running now....;)

Just flashed back to stock LG8. I was already running stock LG8 but i had removed bloat...ie modified /system snd it doesnt work if u have /system modified in any way....or so it seems...
[Galaxy S III General] aeroxdefocu:

[Galaxy S III General] Alex---1:
Hi all,

Not felt the need to play around with this till now so I was on completely stock LG8 BTU, no root, and just stuck the updated file on my SD and flashed. All worked ok but I think I'm missing something in the notification bar, should there be a settings icon at the top right? I seem to just have a line lol

Cheers :good:
[Galaxy S III General] mrtoken:
Ok dumb question sorry guys, what is the code to find the modem you are running,
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Settings > about phone > baseband version
[Galaxy S III General] chx:
Guys, it seems that @exhardy found the solution to our problem.

I had I9300XXBLG8/I9300OXABLG8/I9300XXLH1 flashed in my phone so I thought it was the same, but apparently it is not.

We have to flash I9300XXBLG8/I9300OXABLG8/I9300XXLG8 and then just the LH1 modem for this update to work (it seems that some files are different, not just the modem).

I'm downloading I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU.zip from hotfile now to try again, but it's very slow. Anyone has a faster link?

Thanks

Yes, but you didn't post that it was different to have XXBLG8 Build Date: 26 July 2012 and then modem LH1, than to have XXBLG8 Build Date: August 2012 that already includes modem LH1, so we all assumed it was the same.

Thanks anyway.

Hmmm - damn it! Thanks for that though, least I know there's something up with mine.

I think its as smooth, this is a 600-700mb ROM filled with crap and on stock kernel and its still buttery, gnex roms are 150-200mb and bloat free, removing Sammy crap is my next job.

Its a lot more consistent than the gnex too, it has the raw power to never stutter and lag whereas the gnex does every now and again.
