Take that post with a grain of salt. Still no news or information about at&t releasing anything for the s3

Just checked via AT&T Software Updater and a new software update is available. Unfortunately, I'm at work, so I can't download. But I checked yesterday and there was nothing there. So it looks like they're pushing 4.3 out. Finally.

Have any early installers tried CF-AutoRoot, Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper or any other ways of preserving or re-establishing root on this?

    I want to personally thank loserskater and enewman for their time, and at least one device, on this update. Their hard work is definitely appreciated by me. Thanks guys.

    Kies will not work to update to 4.3 because it is OTA only. I have upgraded everything including bootloaders but will not be testing a downgrade because I do not want to go back to 4.1.x and because I need this device. @enewman17 has an extra device that he might try it on. One thing I noticed is that wifi was not working until I upgraded the bootloader and that is similar to the tmo release, which isn't a good sign because if it is similar to the tmo release, downgrading is how a few of them have hard bricked.

    Auto root does work, and it works well. No need to mess with selinux at all. Knox has caused a few issues and will likely need to be removed but selinux hasn't been causing any issues yet. Another thing is that I've rebooted multiple times and root has been perfect.

    I'm going to warn everyone. if you update to this I don't think you can downgrade your bootloaders. I just bricked my extra S3 trying to downgrade. I can't say for sure that is what caused it but I'm fairly certain. So please do not flash any of the recovery flashable bootloaders we have floating around in the threads if you have updated to the new 4.3 OTA

    Uploading the OTA right now. It will only work if you're on 4.1.2.
    I'm going to remove everything but the system/kernel and create a flashable zip for everybody.

    First of all thanks for doing this...
    Have a question for you... Ur ROM doesnt have root. So can i root it? Or there is no reliable rooting method for 4.3 version. Last i used cf root in 4.1.2.

    I am guessing that they used patch files inside? Like they did with the ATT S4 4.3 update. This would probably be why you would have to be on 4.1.2 firmware? Hopefully we can get the FULL Odin style package from it if this is the case.

    That's correct. I doubt we'll see a odin tar. Not sure what AT&T's MO is, but I don't like the lack of odin files.
    I'm going to do what I did with the 4.1.2 OTA update. Flash it and dump everything then create a flashable zip.

    Here is the stock OTA update. flash in recovery. This was taken straight from my device.
    This will put you at stock 4.3! No root, custom recovery, or any kind of modification was made to this.
    You MUST be on stock 4.1.2 or it will fail to flash. Use this if you were on the 4.3 leak or if it says you're up to date.

    I shoudn't have to say it but I747 only!

    NOTE: Some users on the Tmo forums have complained of not being able to flash anything other than 4.3 in odin after upgrading. You should be able to flash a cutom recovery, but if you're unsure about 4.3 and want to stick with 4.1.x then DO NOT flash this. I'm currently working on a modified 4.3 with only system, boot.img, and modem and will have something up soon.
