So the 4.3 update for our Verizon Galaxy S3 is supposed to be pushing out today (Monday the 2nd) to a small amount of handsets, according to what he told you?

They are going to send the update to customers with unlimited data first. When the phone crashes due to bugs they offer a discounted upgrade. Oh, btw, you just lost unlimited :D

According to him he said it was to start today. He didn't specify as to whom would receive it. Its going to be randomly sent out to a select few

So them pushing it in 1-2 weeks is out? Not Friday the 6th either? They are pushing it out in a small batch? Hopefully someone here gets it.

Hmmm...

VZW Software Upgrade Assistant is just now pulling down an upgrade

"New software available for Galaxy S(R) III (SCH-I535).
Downloading..."

Psych!?

Well, that didn't fly. It reported new, downloaded, then didn't give option to continue properly.

My bad. Never had that happen before.

Pics or it didn't happen

Hehe... understood. I plug the thing in every day or so. That was the first time the updater told me there was new software. Kies later said it had the latest. Can't explain, and I have no problems deleting (i.e. "it didn't happen").

I scanned for large files created/modified today, found this (which looks far too old by date in filename): SCH-I535_VZW_1_20130627174016_uxh23opkwp.zip.enc2. No idea why.

Go back to your homes. There's nothing to see here. <ahem>

Nice, so then if it starts today / tonight it should be in full effect near the end of the week!

Let's be careful here: what we have here are unsubstantiated reports from people speaking / chatting with VZW personnel holding positions within VZW that are normally not privy to software rollout dates. I don't want to be a Debbie downer, but I would not bet my paycheck that this info is completely reliable.

Well regardless of what he said, I think we can all agree it will probably rollout sometime in December or early January. Although personally, I'm hoping for sometime in December.

I'm confused, did they begin rolling it out today, or was it a false alarm?

    I really hope you guys know the consequences of taking the official OTA of 4.3
    Your bootloader will be upgraded to a Knox secured one and trying to downgrade it back to an insecure one will brick your phone. This secure boot loader means no custom kernel and no custom recovery until we find a way around it. Root is still possible, but that's it... Only root.
    Just saying. If you guys want custom ROMs, its better to wait

    You will get a Verizon version of 4.3 TW before the holidays whether it comes from Verizon or is leaked by Samsung. 4.2 was already being tested and there is no user difference between 4.2 and 4.3. All the changes are security changes. Samsung needs to sell that new smart watch. Without 4.3 it is a no go on S3, S4 and Note 2. As always do not take the OTA. This is Verizons chance to lock you down like they did the S4. :cool:
