[ROM]9/20/12 LI3 Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 3 OTA (Stock/ROOTED/Odex/DeOdex/Firmware!)
This will update your software to LI3.
The update contains firmware updates as well as a Kernel update too.
The update contains a file that will reflash the stock recovery every single time you reboot your phone if the digital signature doesn't match, but I have removed it from this rooted version I'm uploading. I will upload that file separately so that you can get the stock recovery back without worrying about Odin, then from there you should be able to apply the update manually from Sprint's servers and get updated firmware. Keep in mind that if you choose to accept the OTA from Sprint, it will only apply if you have unmodified system files and an unmodified kernel.
You should only do one or the other. If you flash this rooted update, you will no longer receive an update notification from Sprint. So you will need to either revert to a nandroid backup or reflash the stock software in order to update all of the firmware.
LG8 Firmware: The baseband update will automatically create a backup on your internal storage incase anything goes wrong or you would like to revert.
Baseband/Modem L710VPLG8: This needs to be flashed with CWM/TWRP. Download
Other parts (tz,rpm,sbl2,sbl3,aboot): This needs to be flashed with Odin. Download
Revert to LF9 Universal Search:
Odex/DeOdex: Download
2.4/5GHz WiFi Frequency Fix for LG8
DeOdex: Download
Odex: Download

Stock Recovery to flash in Odin: (Don't rename it.) Stock Recovery
If you download the Stock Recovery to flash in Odin, open Odin, press PDA and point to this file. It will flash only the stock recovery, allowing you to accept the OTA and update your firmware. This method will only work if you have a Stock kernel and unmodified system files.
I'm still confused as to which of the two I should do. If I read that correctly it seems that anytime we want to do a firmware update we have to use the stock recovery instead of CWM?

Ahh I wasn't aware of this. This is my first Samsung phone. I had a HTC before and the firmware updates were always cooked into new ROMs I believe
The firmware is, but with HTC phone, if you do an OTA, they 7/10 times have a new, locked hboot, which makes taking an OTA a SERIOUS problem. With unlocked bootloaders [like our GSIII], you basically just need the stock recovery, then re-root.
And the unrooting option available will reset your flash counter.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core
My Galaxy S III rooted, like a BOSS
Teh Kernel kill count: 3 </3

They'll be cooked into ROMs here too, I was just talking about attempting to install an OTA update via the official method (Settings > Updates). It will download the update and reboot to recovery and install it. If it's not the stock recovery it won't work.
