I got my notice and automatic download for mine as well on the Bell network. Samsung Canada along with the main carriers have put out the new I747MVLALH1 Firmware. Our OTA updates are smaller and will very by carrier because they only contain the files that need to be updated rather then the whole firmware itself.

This is very good news for all us Canadian 747 users because the LH1 Modem along with the firmware changes include a great deal of proformance/bug fixes, our launch firmware with our phones was kinda the ****s to say the least so this new one should really help out.

As for keeping root. I am using SuperSU root paid for the Pro version which has a Root keeper funtion in it when you update via OTA. However the update does require the stock recovery so if you have flashed CWM recovery you will need to flash the stock one back first then apply the update.

Just finishing my phone backup atm to my computer then will try the OTA Root Keeper and see how well it works out for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 420SYN:
Any chance someone could post the modem I747MVLALH1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
I'm still home and downloading as we speak. I will cancel before the installation and if its still not posted online by the time I get to work, I will upload it somewhere.

BTW, the Rogers update is the same size. I have a feeling this update will include the removal of Universal search.

Did the update this morning on bell it was 100mb... I notice the brightness slider but haven't seen anything else yet...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
I installed the telus update this morning and universal search still works and we have the screen brightnes bar . Also seem to get a better signal when runing modem on Lte.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
That's good news, hopefully same for Rogers since my network connection hasn't been great compared to SGS2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ymodem-G:
Anyone have a flashable version of this for the rooted folks?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbzgod:
I updated via the OTA, I try'd out Chainfires SuperSU Pro version which has a Root Keeper function to maintain root while updating on OTA, it did not work for our Canadian Models unfortunately but that is okay it is an experimental function anyways. At any rate I simpled flash CWM and push the SuperSU root app back onto my phone via CWM just fine to retain my root, and you can quickly and easily use chainfires Triangle away app to reset your flash counters.

Everything has worked fine for me. I am using the new LH1 firmware on my Bell phone and I am completed Rooted ^_^

For those less experianced and dont mind waiting for a root injected rom that is all good. For others you can take the steps I did and so far so good OMG I am loving LH1 over what we got out of the box!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
You can also get the rogers and telus update through samsung-updates.com. ot will be a odin flash. I will do a modem cwm zip when i get home from work.

Is there a way to restore stock recovery? I'm asking because I have a backup of my touchwiz rom (currently running cm10) and I want to restore to that to get the OTA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proper69:
I'm on rogers and it says there's no update. I want a brightness slider! I've missed it from my crappy on aokp. But I get my computer back this week. Time to play again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
Yes there is, one way is to flash the stock rogers odin firmware. It can be found at samsung-updates.com. the stock software has the stock recovery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rookadahooka:
This came up and disappeared when I went to update. Now its saying I have no updates available.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spankycarbowski:
Not sure what I had before but I am showing 1.59gb of ram as well.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

So I woke up this morning and the update was finally here! I installed immediately and noticed good overall performance update.

The main fix I am happy about is the fix to the email exchange client!! When you get an email that is automatically moved to a folder other than your inbox, you are taken to that folder from the notification. Previously you were just taken to the inbox and then had to remember where the email came from and what folder tip navigate to.

Been waiting for this! About time. The international version had this update months ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sansaman:
For all the people delayed, do you have 32GB models? My friend has a 32 GB model from Rogers, got no update, even deferred, and Samsung twice told him his model will NOT get this minor update.

Strange.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
Well thanks for that report. When i can't test it is just as important to get reports of success as well as reports of failure. Helpful to figure out user or device difference vs something i can do differently. thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vercro:
I have a Rogers 32GB model and I got the update at about 6am on the morning of the release. I'm in the GTA, if it matters.

Bluetooth - Car Hands free Issues

Ok guys, this update has been incredibly smooth with the exception of one issue:

When the phone connects to my car handsfree, it works but I can no longer control the phone (dial/answer) from my car, I have to use the actual phone. Also, my car is no longer displaying numbers or options. It seems like the connection type may have changed with only allows audio to work? I have tried a factory reset, re-installed update and the problem still persists. It must be related to the OTA as it worked perfectly before.

Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggestions on a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spankycarbowski:
Yup mine is the 32 ... so that's not correct.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
I'm on telus, is there a Cwm flashable file yet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SomethingAwesome:
This process (slightly tweaked of the above) worked for me:

-Backed up all applications & data using Titanium Backup Pro.

-Created CWM backup.

-Installed Mobile Odin Pro.

-Downloaded Firmware update from Sammobile.com

-Copied firmware file onto internal SDCard.

-Opened the file in Mobile Odin Pro.

--Deselected update Recovery.

-Flashed. Phone rebooted a few times and then came up working.

-Removed all unneeded/bloat Samsung/branded applications using Titanium Backup Pro.

-Started and ensured all applications loaded as they should.

Haven't noticed any issues so far. The new update seems incremental but some very nice upgrades overall. LED notification light fix is probably the most useful change. Haven't used mobile data enough to see a difference with the radio.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
What about your flash counter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dssking:
I did this......worked like a charm...... However, I can't reinstall Titanium....says I have no free space....I have

3 gigs free in the phone. Is anyone else having this issue? It said upon reboot that Titanium had stopped working,

so I installed......big mistake becuase now it won't reinstall.

HELP?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cholerabob:
OK i have CMW so i can't update , where can i get a stock file to flash back to stock on Rogers ?

ok was able to update thru Kies connected to pc ( oTA didn't work ) lost root. Re-rooted with this method http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/ and it worked flawlessly , Everything works now :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wirelessgirl:
I have the 32gb with Rogers and I got the update. I didn't get it OTA. I had to update it by connecting my phone to Kies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
Have done it the same way, but I dont have the brightness slider in my notification pulldown.

I have the LH1 modem though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dssking:
Guys, after performing the above steps, I still cannot get Titanium to load..... Any suggestions? I've read everythign here,

hooked it up to the PC and deleted anything titanium related.. Stil nothing.

HELP Please?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
This happened to me before, when using TB its saves but on the internal card and when you use Odin it wipes everything on your card so you are left with no backup. Next time copy the TB folder to your external card to be safe. If your made a nan-backup you could retrieve your TB folder from there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nrapallo:
Urrghhh! That's exactly what I have noticed, but for me I had selected the "5 GHz only" band before updating and now I cannot see nor scan for any 2.4 GHz SSID's!!!!!!!!!!!! What a bit of lazy programming!

I'm on Stock 4.0.4 (Rogers) and there's no way to change the band my phone's wifi is on back to 2.4GHz.

OK for home use, but when I'm out and about, this is going to be a MAJOR inconvenience.

Anyone know how to select the 2.4 GHz wifi band from the current 5 GHz one my phone is on??

How does one report this problem to have it fixed with another OTA update ....

Note: This link shows some earlier wifi tweaks (and the "Wi-fi Frequency Band" section that is now GONE)! :crying: None fix the problem!

UPDATE: A little Googling shows that others have noticed this too here & here and offered some advice on how to cope with this (I'll wait to see what JB does for this...)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
Yah, that's pretty lame. Why would they decide to take features or options AWAY? It bugs me and in your scenario, it is crippling.

I don't have much experience with my new S3, but back with my HD2, if I ran into a similar issue, I would try this:

1) assuming you are rooted with CWM, do a full backup.

2) reinstall stock rom and verify that the wifi band choice is present and unchecked.

3) upgrade the firmware (LH1)

4) go into CWM and do an advanced restore...where you can choose to restore DATA on it's own. Restore data from the backup you made in step 1.

Hopefully, you will get 2.4/5.

(or maybe install the stock rom, then restore DATA only, check to make sure the switch is unchecked, then proceed with the firmware upgrade.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nrapallo:
I saw someone else's take on this and it sums up my feelings to a T, namely:

Thanks, but I'll not root nor "restore to factory" just yet, as I hope JB will offer that compatibility back? Anyone know for sure if JB has that option?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nrapallo:
:mad: It's not looking too good for me as this reply indicates that the Wi-fi Frequency Band selection option has been REMOVED from the upcoming JB 4.1.1.1.

Hopefully the JB update will reset that option to the default (that the recent OTA update should have).... :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SGH-I747m:
Update includes battery fix reception fix brightness fix and brightness slider.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
And I wonder if they have fixed the incorrect reporting of Cell Standby drain in Battery use....because the LH1 update did not! (guess they don't read the XDA forums)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kinghorsey:
I doubt that very much. That patent claim by apple extends only to the US not Canada.

If universal search were in contention it wouldn't ever have been a feature on this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ironhelix:
iirc my default google search was the stripped usa version, and as soon as i had my mobile rooted i added the search apk found here.

and in other news, i did this ota trough mrRobinson pre rooted rom, and it went smooth like butter....

oddly enough i still used odin v1.85 as v3.07 never works for me...

SHG-I747 on Straight Talk

AT&T's OTA servers must be able to tell that I am not using one of their SIMs and won't let me download updates. It is also not going to be made available via Kies (according to Samsung support). Any other way a person could obtain it? Doesn't seem to matter how I try to download it, over WIFI or even if I take the SIM out it's not letting be grab it.

Currently stuck on baseband UCLG1/build UCALG1

Thanks.

How does one put back ONLY the BELL stock recovery without, reflashing the whole ROM or losing data and apps ?

Is there a prerooted version of this BELL rom yet?

nevermind found prerooted rom:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
You can find the rogers ota update at samsung-update.com. flash through odin. I believe i saw it there this morning

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Go tp samsung-update.com and get the odin flash version
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
You could install Display Brightness from Market
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbzgod:
You can either reflash the stock firmware which would remove root and restore the recovery or you can extract the recovery.img file out of the firmware and if you are rooted can copy it over to the memory card block where the recovery section is located.

I did it via copying the recovery.img file.

If you do it that way you will need to copy the recovery.img file from the stock firmware place it into your sdcard and either through terminal emulator app or ADB shell do the following commands:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

This copys the stock recovery back for you and you will have it restored.

For all the guy coming from an iPhone with a poor knowledge of what and not what to do, can someone post a howto update if we are rooted.

I never fllashed with a custom rom, but I have all the root privilege.

Thank you for your time

Custom LED colors are working properly for me now after the update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y2whisper:
i tried flashing made it to about 30% before bouncing back saying it couldn't finish update, think it was because I had some frozen apps in there. now it says no update available. will have to wait as the update on samsung-updates is full firmware so 700mb at work with a crappy connection, wouldn't download in time. might have to wait for someone to post the ota file
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
Flashed the stock Rogers ROM and tried to install the update but then it failed... I believe the file got deleted after flashing completely stock ROM using ODIN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m82a1:
So far i've only seen about 2 + people install this update, from this thread. Maybe the update got pulled for some reason. I'm delaying the update, want some more feedback, but the notification is there on my phone, even after a reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Updates are still on samsung-updates. Currently downloading the Bell version buts its incredibly slow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Has anyone compared these updates with the AT&T leak from a few weeks back? Do they seem to cover the same changes? Assuming that these updates will bork an AT&T i747, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Most likely bork it as it includes a modem. I think I read where the AT&T update messed up Canadian phones cause of the modem.....I could be wrong though....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vercro:
I tried the update on my rooted Rogers S3 w/CWM, but it failed and said to try through Kies. I imagine it was due to the non-stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ymodem-G:
I just used Kies and it was fine. It updated everything and I didn't lose any data. It just removed the root and threw the bloatware back on.

Wasn't getting the OTA so I re-installed the recovery.img and updated via Kies. All worked perfectly except I lost root....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
The easy way to remove root is re flash stock odin firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
I will have to install the toolkit and re-root, shouldn't be a big deal. Otherwise I am sure Mr. Robinson will have a new rooted version available soon to install via Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ex-28:
ya still not sure which exact one to downlaod as the date seems verry old :( thanks tho.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ex-28:
ok thanks , downloading now extremely slow :)

guess it wouldnt work to flash stock then update then dump my nandroid backup after would it ? id loose the update

trying to find a way to save settings and installed apps is all :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
finally gave up on the Samsung-uodates download after 3 aborted atempts and used Check Fus instead: download was much faster.

Installed the stock Bell LH1 using Odin and then flashed the CWM tar also in Odin and used CWM to flash the SuperSu zip to re-root.

The install of stock uising Odin left all my files (music, photos, contacts) in place.

I was previously on Triune based on the leaked ATT LH1. The biggest differnce is the stock Bell LH1 provides the LH1 modem for Canadians that the custom roms do not have -- the custom roms are modem free as that appears to be where the cross-carrier issues arise in the install of modems not correct to the phone.

On stock the only thing you now miss is the theming that comes from having a de-odexed custom rom, but I suspect updated roms will be posted soon as will a newly updated rooted stock image for install.

Meanwhile if you are comfortable flashing and using Odin, the new LH1 is there for both Bell and Rogers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tri3Dent:
Is there going to be a stock updated firmware with injected root that doesn't trigger the counter? Would like to have that to flash to keep for without affecting the counter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colemac:
Only change on Telus ota update was brightness bar in notifications.

Is there any other changes? When will jelly bean coming through?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 420SYN:
Right now just install aokp/cm10
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
biggest change in this LH1 firmware is the updated and upgraded modem -- my speeds on HSPA+ have jumped from 14.4 to 21.6 -- if that same improvement extends to LTE then the modem will finally allow the phone to operate as it is designed i.e. much faster connections etc.

Doubtless there are changes un addition to this but this is the most noticable already.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RageATheM:
A few other changes I've noticed other then better reception is the brightness in the pulldown, no longer shows "earphones connected" and launchable apps usable by earphones. The stock Music Widget now has quick access to the playlist underneath that is scrollable. Read somewhere else that the stock text message app was re-arranged a bit but I don't use stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ymodem-G:
I don't think my LED indicator turns green when the phone is fully charged. I'm at 100% and the light is still red.

I let it run down a bit, power cycled it and charged to full a second time and it's still red. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing if I'm right.

Edit: Nevermind, it just flipped over to green. I'm just stupid.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wirelessgirl:

If you don't get OTA, plug in to Kies

Gang, I also got a message this morning indicating an upgrade, didn't know how big the file is so I opted to delay it until I have WiFi access. However, even after connecting to WiFi the settings indicated that "no updates available".

I plugged my phone in and Kies detected the update to LH1. So what I am trying to say is, even if you don't have the OTA notification, plug in to Kies.

Any confirmation on if the Universal Search feature has been removed?

not removed. (ont elus)

So what's the best way to get the new modem if you're on custom ROM with cwm right now? Is there a flashable zip for the modem or do I need to revert back to original firmware and then root/install cwm again?

-Brightness adjust in notification bar

-Browser is a bit different

-Stock Camera app has different filters now

-In notification bar, mute/vibrate/sound colours are different
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:
Downloaded via Kies. Rooted after again. I have more then doubled my LTE speeds. I consistently got around 12-14 MB down and maybe 8 Up. After updating I am getting 28-31 down and 18 Up consistently after 10 speed tests.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] this_is_nick6:
Just plug in to Kies and it'll prompt you. I wasn't prompted for an OTA but was immediately prompted by Kies and installed the update no problem.

:)

I'm finding it much smoother overall (lag I noticed before is now non-existent) and I had been waiting for that brightness slider for a while, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Also, the annoying 'apps that play music' thing when you plug headphones in being gone is a HUGE bonus. I hated that so much.
