Trying to flash OTA jelly bean but getting errors

---

Hi all,

I have a rooted (through Odin desktop version) Galaxy S3 I9300 with the following:
AP: I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300CELH1
CSC: I9300PHNBLH1

I have been trying to flash the Jellybean OTA firmware that was posted yesterday on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1867672

However when I try to flash with CWM it breaks off.
When I try this with Odin Mobile Pro I get:
"The kernel image on your device does not match the signature check in OTA ZIP. Disable the check (may prevent the device from booting)?"

I guess I have to update the kernel image somehow in order to install this OTA as was also mentioned in the thread with the Jellybean firmware:
http://samsung-updates.com/fw/Samsun...al03it6wa2.zip

However it's impossible to download this file, have tried with 4 different browsers on 2 desktops and 2 browsers on my phone but no luck (I get dummy zip file, referred back to the same page or html file download).

Any tips on how to update the base/kernel rom so I can safely install the Jellybean OTA?

Thanks,
Vincent

Read thru tutorials.
Esp. Correct base fw (lg8 btu and modem lh1) and cr-root cwm (or original) needed.
Next time ask in existing thread.

The OTA will only correctly flash if you are on XXBLG8 rom with the LH1 modem

Is that wipe my phone or not?

If you are already on a ICS rom then you can flash LG8 without wiping, if your on a JB rom then you will need to wipe or the ICS rom won't boot!

Tried to flash BLG8 but...

Hi,

I just tried to flash XXBLG8 with CWM (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1799267) but when doing *#1234# I get exactly the same versions as before:

AP: I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300CELH1
CSC: I9300PHNBLH1

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
Vincent

That link is only the kernel and modem not the full rom

Correct, but I tried to install the full rom directly and it failed (see my first post of the thread), so I figured I had to upgrade the kernel and modem first..

I have the feeling I am missing an obvious step here,
