Are you saying that if I installed the OTA, and it failed, that trying to go back to mrRobinson's stock now will cause my phone to crash repeatedly? What if I don't have a nandroid backup before the OTA?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cruzin95:
Thanks for the response. I searched the web and found that it's a common problem. The fix is to go into Settings, Accounts and sync, and turn on Accounts and sync. That fixed the problem for me.

I am completely stock and unrooted. Kies does not provide me with the update and the OTA app keeps failing to connect to the server. What are my options? I downloaded the update.zip but I get a warning about flashing a custom ROM when I got into stock recovery...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garyd9:
It depends on how it failed. Some times a "failure" will unroll the changes (I don't know if thats the case for the current OTA or not.)

In my case, the OTA applied properly, but it nuked root and recovery. That was unacceptable for me.

If you go back to MrRobinson's stock after applying the OTA (and the android basic data was updated), and don't have a nandroid or other backup, and you get symptoms similar to what I did... then your only option might be to factory wipe the phone. If not doable in the settings application (because of all the acore errors) then you should be able to do it from recovery (even the android 3e recovery.) Please see Mr Robinson's thread (or nearly any other FAQ) for instructions on booting into recovery.

Could someone dump the sms/mms apk from this release, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
I think you only get a warning in download mode..not recovery. Make sure you're in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cfili:
I think you are right, I need to hold volume up for recovery not volume down - thanks. I guess the update.zip needs to be on the cache partition or external SD card for this to work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
i put it in my external. Booted into 3e recovery>factory reset>wiped cache>installed from SDcard....done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] androidfreak5:
I am exactly in the same situation. Did you make it work?

just download the update.zip from gunnyman a few pages back and flash it through stock 3e recovery.

From everything I've read here this seems the same as LH1 - which is very stable with tons of development already. The modem may have changed, but I'm thinking that's it. If you're worried about losing root or cannot install this, I'd just go install one of the many LH1 ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Exactly what I'm saying. Worst case flash LH1 then wait until LH9 rooted is posted and flash that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Naldonnis:

After you clear it make sure the micophone on keybaord is still checked in keyboard settings.

This update fixed the stock calendar's inability to keep the custom notification tone set. Before I could set the tone to any that came with the phone, but then I'd set it to my own Zelda or Mario sound and then when I'd check again the tone would be back to the very first stock tone that was set from the factory.

There are some changes to the stock email app. The "load more" button now floats at the bottom of the window so that you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the message to use it. When viewing an email, there are some layout changes to the header. When viewing the in box, there is now a bar at the top of the list that shows when it was last updated.

CWM-flashable version

I made a zip file of the OTA you can flash with CWM without losing root. It also doesn't include the Google Search update, so if you still have the one from UCALEM installed with Universal Search, you'll be able to keep it.

See this thread for more details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31802808
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poetikal:
Lost root, which I'm not all that mad with, but I hope someone injects root into the new version ASAP so I can flash it with ODIN. I really don't want CWM on my phone right now. :-\
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] h0ckeysk8er:
Also, in conversation view mode, all messages get a conversation subject bar even if there is only a single message for that conversation. And in probably the most annoying move, new conversations and new email in an existing conversation are presented in expanded mode by default with no option to configure the default to be collapsed mode. Really kind of defeats the purpose of having a conversation mode at all.

Did they update the kernel how's the wifi
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
The kernel was updated, but I went right back to ktoonsez's kernel after updating, so I can't comment on whether the updated kernel helped or hurt wifi.

I did notice the settings lost the ability to select which wifi (2.4 MHz or 5.8 MHz) to connect to. But I think that's a ROM change and not a function of the kernel.

Hot reboots cause gsiff_daemon to run away. You have to kill gsiff_daemon or reboot to stop it from running away. If you can fix whatever is causing the hot reboots, then gsiff_daemon shouldn't give you much trouble.

I was stock rooted with CWM - used Gunnyman's method to revert to stock recovery and OTA Rootkeeper to preserve root. It all went fine and everything is working well now.

The only concern is that my device now says status: "modified". Not sure what I need to do to fix this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Naldonnis:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaisaroni:
Your CWM install may have tripped it, but usually it goes away. Triangle away works great if you ever need it, or just Odin a fully stock .tar and it will revert back, only the counter stays where its at then.

My wife was on the stock firmware and updated to the latest ota. Is there a method to root and install cwm from scratch
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spectrasez:
My device is also saying modified after rooting with Voodoo Root Keeper just as yours did. However, I never installed any custom recoveries (CWM nor TRWP).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rcook55:
I had exactly the opposite outcome. Rooted i747, ROM Manager, CWM, installed the OTA update, rebooted into CWM, scrolled down to the only 'Yes' option and selected it, update did it's thing. Was then presented with some warning about possibly loosing root but I allowed it anyway, fully expecting to loose root. Rebooted, did the optimizing dance and was back up to a working phone.

I've verified that I have the update and all the new features and as far as I can tell I'm still rooted, still have Superuser, still have ROM Manger, etc. The only thing I noticed is that my S3 is now "modified" in About Device > Status > Device Status.

I'm assuming that I just got lucky or that I had some specific combination that the OTA liked on my phone. Not sure but it's interesting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vermsky:
This is weird. I tried to search for a software update but it said I have the latest firmware though I have LG1. I used both my phone and kies to check for the update but I never found anything. I am bone stock and it's not updating. Does anyone know if AT&T pulled it off its servers?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Me too - I originally rooted using the no-counter-trip method; preserved root via Voodoo; on stock kernel

Only other variation from pure stock besides root is that I have the old universal search installed

fota location

Gunnyman, where exactly is that folder? I have a folder called fota on the root of my extSdCard. Is there another location where this should be? Perhaps the incorrect location of this fota folder on my phone may be the reason I'm not able to see the update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunnyman:
You need a root aware file manager like root explorer. It's just /cache/fota
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spectrasez:
That is exactly how I did it. Maybe it is something with Voodoo Root Keeper.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

That is exactly how I did it. It may be something with Voodoo Root Keeper that is causing the device modified status.

I installed the OTA on my rooted SGS3 I747, without retaining root and my device says modified as well, so I dont think the rootkeeper has anything to do with it. Maybe it was just because it was a rooted device?? not sure if they can detect that though??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rcook55:
For those of us that performed the OTA on stock, rooted i747's and are now 'modified'. Can you confirm that you can actually boot into CWM now? I just tried and I'm unable to do so. It appears that I may be rooted but I'm pretty sure I'm not any longer.

Downloaded and installed OTA update last night. Phone is at 35% after about 11 hours with moderate usage throughout the day...no power saver. Usually it is dead by now. Seems they tweaked something with the battery.

I'm having a similar issue. Although, I've only had an opportunity to observe over short bursts of time. Today, I had my phone plugged in at my desk for the entire day. I unplugged it, checked on a few things over the course of about 20 minutes and was down to 79%.

Tomorrow I will be away from a charger for about 11 hours. Will see what happens.

That's effing retarded.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
If you manually enter 3e recovery and flash an update it wipes data for security reasons, annoying but makes sense. Otherwise people could easily hack stolen phones and get access to data. Same reason unlocking a Nexus bootloader causes data to be wiped

ERI not available and Status Modified - Is This Bad?

Now, my phone Status says:

ERI Version Not Available

Device status Modified

IMEI number is still good

I don't know what it said before the OTA, but should I be worried it says ERI not available or Status Modified? I've no idea what ERI is.

BACKGROUND

1) I had MrRobinson's root-injected stock, with cwm recovery installed via ROM Manager (vs 6.0.1.2 I think was the recovery version).

2) Tried to install the OTA - it failed somewhere in the middle of install but my phone info showed the new OTA version.

3) I made a backup in cwm recovery, saved it to my PC, and flashed MrRobinson's root-injected stock again. That got rid of cwm recovery. At that point I started getting the android.process.acore failure repeatedly as Gary said I might.

4) I tried adb to restore cwm recovery, but it wouldn't recognize my device - not surprised since I've never used it before.

5) I Factory reset my phone, the OTA asked to install again and I allowed it. No errors this time. Superuser is still listed in Apps but I don't seem to have ability to allow superuser to other Apps anymore.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecapitalr:
Hey guys. Was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I am pretty new to android and have the I747. Got it a week ago. The device is rooted but no custom rom. Honestly, I do not know why I rooted it because thus far very few apps even took advantage of the phone being root (mainly ad block). I guess I rooted it because I jailbroke for years on the iphones/ipads.

Anywho, as suggested, before installing this update, I downloaded voodoo OTA. I "unrooted" using that. I then downloaded the update through the phone by going to settings / about device / software update. I even set the keyboard default to samsung lol (was using swiftkey)

The update downloaded and said it had to restart to install. I clicked the button to reset the device.

The phone did a few random things for a few minutes and then booted up again saying "the install was interupted" (or something similar) and that no update was applied. I then went back to settings / about device / software update and tried to redo the update.

I now get the message "no updates available" and says to check back in 23 hours.

What gives? it says I have baseband i747uclem which is not the newest one.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? This is my first week with android phones and I am just learning the ropes. Thanks kindly!

Do you have the stock recovery installed (not clockworkmod)? You can go to Settings > Apps and clear data on the updated to try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IcOpRo:
I had this same issue, make sure you are running stock recovery. Then clear cache on the update app (I force stopped it also) then I rebooted and ran the check for update, the update app will take a while to connect to DM server, after this I had the update downloaded and applied via OTA.

Hope this helps

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecapitalr:
I just remembered that I deleted using titanium backup a few of the stock bloatware apps mainly the at&T ones that come pre installed. Could this be the reason that this update does not work? If I do the backup and restore option on the phone for these apps come back? (and then in theory is could install the update?) I don't care if I loose root.
