you may have a bad download or your not 100% stock

*you cant have root access for it to work*

also this [ROM][RESTORE]~Quick Return to COMPLETE UNROOTED STOCK(NOW WITH FLASH COUNT RESET!!) DOES NOT WORK that i know of ( i tried it, and failed) but i also didnt do
The following files ARE NOT REQUIRED.They are included for any members that requested them.They are bootloaders and other miscellaneous files. However.. THESE ARE RECOMMENDED IF YOU PLAN ON FLASHING THE OFFICIAL OTA FROM SPRINT
LI3(ICS)- https://rapidshare.com/files/1858214...R_TZ_FILES.zip

Reciviing firmware update failed: error 6 no connection when i try. Also the cloud feature in settings says my samsung password is wrong when its not.

Also, would you happen to have the LI3 OTA zip? i have they keyboard issue and i was thinking if i update back to that, and if it installs correctly, my issue will be gone and then i could reupdate jb without issues.

Thanks!

Ran the update with CWM without any issues, then flashed the Team Epic Root zip which still works.

HELL YEAH!
hmm, and I called it :p I said in a previous thread last month that JB would be out for Halloween to give all of us a treat (android candy)! ^^

Amazing this the same Samsung/Sprint I delt with for 2 years with my Samsung Epic 4G, with the slow updates... Where by the time we got Froyo, everyone was getting Gingerbread... And by the time Gingerbread came out... Well... It was older than dirt. To see these improvements with the handling of the S3 is remarkable.

Thanks again for the update link! :D
Now to bed... It's SILENT HILL day o.o

No need to download all OTAs. Just install one stock unrooted officially signed ROM and then place this on External SD Card then install through stock recovery with Device Status: Normal.

So can I just flash the update file through twrp without wiping anything? Or does something need to be wiped?

    Works great and still rooted!!!

    I was on stock ICS and rooted.
    First copy these 2 files to SD-Card "eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip" and "TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip".

    To install and keep root:
    1. Power off phone
    2. Hold down power, up, and home until the screen flashes Samsung and release
    3. Choose zip from SD card
    4. Install this zip "eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip" from CWM recovery.
    5. Without rebooting Choose zip from SD-card
    6. Install "TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip".

    Then I rebooted and I have root and JB.
    Very easy upgrade and install. Did not lose anything. Right after boot up There was an update to Google Search for JB.

    I am missing the LI3 swype apk.... So I found a few while searching, but I had to download the wrong version. Can anyone link the exact LI3's swype.apk?

    Thanks in advance

    You can find the two file you need in ea5d7d1ce298.update_SPH-L710_LG8_to_LI3.zip.

    You need /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
