Yes using KIES to download is very very slow. Even me being on a 20mbps connection took solid 30 minutes to download.

Have to use Kies or Odin to update

If Kies fail again, I will download the firmware from samfirmware and use Odin to flash when I get home...

i can just re-root using the same method even though i already have CWM and SuperSU installed on my S3?

update thru mobile data !! see no diff after update !! but my lock screen wallpaper gone liao !!!

I am getting S3 tomorrow morning from maxis (blue color). 1st time user of touchscreen phone..
Appreciate some guidelines/checklist to make sure the phone is without any defects.. what & how should I check once i get the phone? many thanks in advance.

Yep.

will try it now

ITS ON THE 1st PAGE

1) check for matching IMEI (dial *#06#) with phone and box.

2) check all contents are available in box

3) check for dead pixels. use samsung function test by typing this code *#0*# into the dialer. go through all the test and make sure everything is working

4) check for any hardware defects by pressing the phone at several spots for squeaking or weird noises.

5) check for yellow tint, open up a white picture and check the screen for yellow-ish

confirmed. 66% battery level can update.

check 1st page alot of useful info.
and dont forget *#0*#

my battery was also 66% when i updated

Mine was 45% wheb i updated

I can confirm you can update with less than 20% battery while charging.

By the way, what is the change log?
Notice no difference also.

it worked, THANKS!

so if in the future have software updates, what method should i use?

damn......15min + download 7% in kies
then "no response from server" error, restart download from 0

Me too want to know what is the changelog... dunno where to find..

how come i dont get notification n software update aso cant???

If you want remain root, then you shall download the firmware from Sammobile and then flash via mobile odin.

Trying at 50%

I plan to format my internal sdcard and then flash back to stock rom before I customize again. But I have too many software in my sdcard. Big ones like game files and sygic... can I plain copy out and later paste back in, then reinstall the files from playshop if they are missing?
