Waiting rooted stock ROM:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radapex:
Telus made their available earlier today, and Bell's is out now.

On a side note, does anyone know how to get the update on a rooted device? I just rooted mine a few weeks ago. Still running stock ROM, but nothing I've tried seems to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Forget it, you won't be able to get it through official OTA.

Once you're rooted, your only way to update is to wait for someone to create a flashable zip of the update, flash the entire ROM by downloading from samfirmware or wait for a custom ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radapex:
Tried updating over KIES - what an ordeal. Had to run through emergency recovery twice but finally got it. I wasn't using root access for a great deal - basically lose out on Greenify automanaging and being able to revoke permissions. I can live with that for a while.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nlz242:
KIES doesn't want to recognise my device and Odin is... either stuck on flashing system.img.ext4 or taking really long... heh

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tornade69:
Great News!

That's really a great news!!! Anyone planning to make a flashable zipfile for this rom without the bootloader and knox? I preserve 4.1.2 bootloader on my phone since 4.3 came out. So far, is this update good ?? i heard battery life not really good...

Thanks guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Has anyone tried installing the firmware using Mobile Odin and using the Everroot option?

I'm not really willing to try it for myself as this is my daily driver phone...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ymodem-G:
I wouldn't recommend this update. I updated this morning and everything seemed fine until I tried running Waze on the way home from work. My device was plugged into power as it usually is, but now on this new version my battery is actually discharging WHILE connected to power.

Now to look into rolling back. This is a deal breaker.

Edit: And for the record, this drain is confirmed on two different Galaxy S3's in our house.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tornade69:
Dis you update via OTA or odin with data wipe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TKG26:
I just installed update. I was rooted running flashed stock 4.4.3 rom... I used Android Toolkit from skipsoft and it worked..

I tried different ODIN versions with no joy.. Using the Android Toolkit somehow when it loaded ODIN the flash to stock 4.4.3 worked...

UPDATE: I disabled AVG while using toolkit, i had not using odin orginally it may be related to my issu
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Be careful using the toolkit. Its been known to brick devices and cause other problems as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TKG26:
Yay. Pretty much the same as using any method I suppose. Got lucky I guess. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tornade69:
Is this new bootloader is locked to prevent downgrading to another bootloader ???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Its not "locked" (meaning you can still flash custom recoveries and kernels), but I fully expect it'll be the same as before with regard to downgrading.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tornade69:
Ok. So downgrading from 4.4 bootloader to 4.3 should not work i guess??? . Another question, With 4.4 bootloader, is it possible to flash a 4.3 Rom ???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Correct. Provided its like 4.3, you can only flash the same or newer firmware.

I believe you should still be able to flash older roms like before, but have not seen this confirmed yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] R5R:
Just updated on Rogers, works fine, can't notice any real changes except for the icons on the top are white now. ART does not seem to available in developer options :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
ART is not included.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madonvibez:
I have the other Galaxy S3 in the house. This was done via Kies over USB as our devices were rooted. He factory reset his phone, but this did not resolve the issue. Still trying to find a fix (if one exists.) You cannot roll back to 4.3 so this really sucks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ymodem-G:
Correct. I tried a number of methods of rolling back but couldn't. I'm stuck on this garbage version of Android, and frankly it sucks. Any GPS navigational software or even simply using the phone while connected to power results in a constant battery drain. So much for using the GPS on long road trips!

I would highly recommend not upgrading to this image. I'll go back to 4.3 in a heartbeat as soon as I'm able.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seamus24:
Not having the same problem. Upgraded on Telus through Kies. Battery is MUCH better than under JB. Lost 20% over 4 hours this morning. Currently charging while Google Maps is displaying location and screen is permanently on. Seems to be charging up instead of discharging..

KitKat also seems a lot smoother than JB.

So no problems yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RegBuckley:
I still don't have an update on my Rogers sg3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bolung:
I was hoping that my 4.1.2 will get me to KK directly... instead it only got me to 4.3 and showing that as the latest update for my Rogers S3 too...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Updates are rolled out in stages, usually by region. So you are just not in the area that is getting the initial roll out. It will come though. It may take several days to a couple of weeks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maxoooo:
Nice to hear that! What about screen time for whole day? 4h+? :angel:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
I am speaking on personal experience, after having it for a little over a week. Standby time is much better than before. If I leave the phone completely idle, only 1 google account syncing, it loses about 1% per hour. Music playback (not streaming) is also much better on the battery. However, SoT is still pretty bad for me. I can maybe squeeze out 3 hrs if I am lucky, however YMMV.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cabanon:
update my wife's phone last week to KK because the battery was god awful (standby was a day top). Nothing was changed. can I root it now the same old way or is there a procedure now with KK ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Wanted to quote, but I apparently hit the "thanks" button in Tapatalk instead. Lol

Anyway, go to www.towelroot.com, click on the big fat lambda to download the apk, install it, run it and make it rain.

Easiest way to root Kit Kat.

Don't forget to download SuperSU from the market afterwards.

Happy rooting! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cabanon:

I'm in a bit of an add predicament. I've had a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 now for a while, and upgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat about 10 days ago when it went OTA (the location of the update itself was in Moscow). Phone has never been rooted or hacked or anything. I then went swimming with it in the salty waters of Dubai last weekend; phone was completely dead.

I come back to Toronto and get a new Samsung Galaxy S3. It came with 4.3 by default, so I try to update, but it says it is the latest version. Kies says the same thing.

How long is this "rolling" update going to take?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elatllat:

Noob Q

First apologies for the noob question (I am a nexus user). I bought my wife a cheap SGS3 when she smashed her N5 and it came rooted but stock recovery and on 4.3 with the MK5 bootlaoder (Bell in Canada). Can I odin the phone up to KK NE6 without losing all data or do I need to check re-partition for this upgrade? Also I am assuming that with it being rooted an OTA or official update.zip would fail.

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Do

NOT

check re-partition under any circomstances!

That would do you no good unless you have the PIT file on hand and, in any case, the partition tables haven't changed since the phone was released.

Also, if you do not factory reset the phone before updating with Odin, normally you should not lose anything.

Affirmative!

this worked for me but try this at your own risk!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SkyboneNoya:
I've noticed that since I started using modified roms from 4.1.1/2 right up to the latest. I think it's a modem thing. Calls go through 3g or something. Could be a battery saver feat or something. I'm not 100% sure but who really uses the net and takes calls at the same time?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1banana2:
Oh, thanks for pointing that out.

Just getting back into the rooting scene and didn't think NF2 4.4.2 was reference to the latest update.

I was on NE6 4.4.2 and following attemps to root with cf auto root then towelroot, my phone became buggy.

Plugged my phone into kies and updated to NF2 seems to have fixed the issues....

Great to know that someone has succesfully rooted NF2 with cf auto root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] R5R:
You'll have to install an updated superuser and then quickly disable knox by opening the freshing installed superuser app and saying yes to disabling knox when it asks, I had to repeat the process twice before it finally worked. Then after i used root explorer to delete the old superuser.apk from the system/app folder and copy pasted the new one in, this stopped the super user force closes that poped up after a reboot. After that it works great for me.

As I pointed out before do this at your own risk...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1banana2:
Thanks for the information. Definitely at my own risk.

Just to be clear, you're on NF2 and you used the latest Cf-auto root? Which version of Odin and superuser?

Hey all!

Need to ask a favor from those of you who are stock rooted (or are about to be) by using Towelroot.

After rooting, but before flashing a custom recovery, please consider making a debrick.img for us to fix hard bricks with. (All you have to do is run a script.)

I have just posted a script that takes most of the work out of doing this. Instructions is posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54220846

Basically, we need both 4.3 and 4.4.2 images from all I747 variants. If they work, you could be saving yourself and many others from a hard brick in the future!

Thanks everyone!

Doc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wheemer:
I think he was asking about a 4.1.1 rom, which he should still be able to flash and should not brick it. You must flash a custom 4.1.1 via your recovery. It's only when you try to flash the official 4.1 bootloader that bricks it. Also do not flash the stock image via odin, that will brick it.
