They're two different units.
You need to have "STOCK" LH1 i747M ROM to install Jellybean OTA package. You won't be able to power-up the phone with stock LH1 on i535.
the different they's device in hardware-radio module, or in soft-radio module (radio-image or partition) ? cpu absolutely identical.in a hardware different may be in discrete radio tuning... that is my suppose. Am I wrong ?

i really like what jelly bean does for android, but for now, i restored my backup and went back to stock ics
getting random reboots, sim card errors, and the battery usage that started out amazing, sudenly turned really bad for some reason.

but at least i got a preview of whats to come.
i`ll wait for either rogers to put the update out, or the finale for bell is out

Same here. There seems to be a problem with kernel or CPU scheduler. I had SIM card error message, as well as really bad battery life. I will jump right back to JB when Samsung officially release it.

I love Google Now and Project Butter. It's so much better than ICS. :)

Don't mean to advertise on another thread, but I have a version that does not have grey bar issues, its more stable in general. Just check my threads. So far its a Bell only tutorial, as my phone is from Bell. Unconfirmed if it works on others so I wouldn't try it. Latest firmware is required (LALH1)

I agree with you 100%. I had he ATt Galaxy Note and flashed ROM's until I practically went blind. Every day there was a " better" ROM out there, but every single one of them had some issues. None were flawless. Then when the ATT version of ICS finally came out, I was unable to update to it, even after I restored my Note to stock usind ROM's from this forum.
To me, the S3 is a great device, and ICS runs perfectly for me, so there is no reason to flash anything at this point. I'll update to the ATT official Jellybean when it comes out.
I have a Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean, and I really can't say it is any better than ICS. A bit smoother maybe, but my S3 is smooth enough.

Now I save myself hours each week by not flashing away constantly.

Error 6

When ever I attempt this I receive the message E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 6).

I know I am not the only one getting this error but I have spent over an hour searching and have yet to find a solution. Any help?

Cannot get JB on Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M

Gents I have done all the steps correct with no issues except that my phone does not display the update. I am stuck on 4.0.4. Can someone please provide information on how to get the correct JB update installed or possible the correct .zip file. Thanks for the help

Just a side note for those of you that are getting sim errors. I had an external micro sd card in my phone and had multiple reboots and sim errors. I pulled my micro sd card and the sim errors and reboots ended. Just an FYI

Rogers phone with rogers ROM unlocked. Im liking JB so far

For telus user

So after playing around a little, I can confirm that both Telus and Bell firmware works; Although, I ran into some problem with the TELUS version :
1 .Device shutdown and screen freeze sometimes...
2. Media service using all the battery because of music on an external SD card
3. SD card "unexpectedly removed" as often as I unlocked the phone... ( probably related to the Media service thing above)
4. During installation, had to use mobile odin and remove ( it does it automatically) faulty line not compatible with the TELUS build (I747MVLALH1_I747MOYBALH1_TLS)
5. Battery life suffered intensely.

I finally factory reset and installed Bell Firmware with OTA (follow the guide) and ended up with no major problems (sometimes laggy widget - the gmail one essentially - , screen dimming going crazy - its off now - etccc ) . Battery life still less than 4.0.4 but nothing too dramatic. One could use a software that reduce CPU speed (Antutu) to save some battery or even Easy battery Saver ( who monitors phone states to close wifi antenna and data ) or something like that.

So basically, if you cant wait for JB OTA official, go ahead. its safe.
is it worth it? heh.... i don't know. but if you can't stand the idea of people having a more advance firmware than yours ( like on the nexus ) than go ahead.

***Note that it is completely possible to go back to stock firmware ( --> CWM --> factory reset.) if anything goes wrong. Don't hesitate. . Do a Backup first.. as it will delete everything.

Cheers. this was my experience.

your either on Telus or ATT or Rogers and the OTA is for BELL. Install the "I747MVLALH1_I747MOYCALH1_BMC.zip" first using odin (see the steps). let it boot. reshutdown to download mode. Odin the CWM (steps). Than from ur PC, transfer the "d2can_JB_OTA_keeproot.zip" to your device and boot up the recovery CWM ( power button, volume UP and home). go to install, choose the OTA package and let it work and reboot.
One could also buy (5$) mobile odin and do it from within the app if you are rooted.

hope it helps.

It has something to do with the leak itself...I found another thread for Bell S3's that worked for me after I had the Status 6 issue you are having. He uses a newer leak. Worked perfectly for me!

Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950793

so yeah

So 2 days ago I installed JB using these directions, Telus and Mobile Odin. Immediately I noticed I keep getting a failed software update notification, no biggie I just close it and forget it. Though it does come back like 5x a day. Other than that I have no noticed anything wrong with the installation... until today. While here at work listening to music through di.fm music application something is causing it to reboot my phone when I press the power button to turn the screen back on. Other than that all has been rolling well, thanks for the guide :)

ps. hope it doesnt get worse :p

Telus I747M Jelly Bean

Here is what I did to get it to work... It took me a few tries and testing different methods:

1. I installed Odin 3.07 on my PC: http://d-h.st/hSj

2. Flashed Telus stock with root (they got a bunch of carriers) via Odin/download mode: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

3. I also flashed for good measure CWM via Odin/download mode: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874982

4. I then copied the JB_OTA zip to my SD: https://hotfile.com/dl/170842913/3b61dbd/d2can_JB_OTA_keeproot.zip.html

5. I purchased mobile Odin from Google Play ($4.99)

6. Once installed, in Odin mobile I checked off "wipe dalvik" then added JB OTA zip to be flashed. *** WARNING **** Do not select "wipe data and cache" which is like a factory reset. You will lose ALL your customizations, settings, downloaded apps, etc... if you do.

7. I got a prompt to verify signature and selected "Disable'

8. Voila, Jean Bean 4.1.1 with root installed on my Telus Galaxy S3

Its been up for about 3-4 hours. The only glitch I've seen soo far is that my screen flashed a blue screen for a split second. Data is working at LTE speeds. Seems stable. I'll let you know if anything weird happens.

Go into Settings > Developer Options and scroll down and check "Disable hardware overlays". This fixed blue screen flashing for me.

Battery life isn't too great either... I may just revert back and wait for the official release blah!

Noob here.

Ok so I will be trying to root my phone and unlock and all this updating stuff for the first time. I have a S3, and I'd like to try out the jellybean, because I have run out of storage on my 16gig phone.

just want to ask using Odin does that unlock my phone as well or do I have to go and find a code somewhere?

Wait until Monday, Samsung will release JB.
Flashing with Odin won't unlock your phone. *I'm assuming that you're asking Network/SIM Lock

    Ive decided to post a new thread as members wanted a Step by Step to get Jellybean's latest leak working on their 747M devices. So here goes.

    This is meant to be flashed over a Samsung based rom (NOT AOSP or CM10). I can't confirm whether it will work on other rooms. Please revert to a touchwiz rom before you attempt this. Also, dont forget, this is a leaked rom, so there might be bugs. I will try to compile them at the beginning of this thread for all of us to see. I have now been using this ROM for 3 days without any MAJOR issues. Small bugs do exist here and there.

    Step by Step Guide: This has been confirmed to be working for ATT variants as well, but the standard disclaimer applies and any flashing or mods done to your phone are your responsibility. This guide would not be possible without the repacked OTA package from Radeon_X. Thanks a lot to him for this.

    1. Download the LALH1 firmware for Bell/telus

    Telus

    Bell

    2. Download Odin 3.07 here: http://d-h.st/hSj. Kick your phone into download mode (turn off --> volume down, home and power). Connect to USB and then start ODIN.

    3. Leave all the checks as is. Click on PDA, unzip the Firmware file you downloaded above and choose the md5 file.

    4. Click Start and let the phone complete the process.

    5. Once the phone reboots, put it in download mode once again, and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery found here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1303041&d=1346812021

    6. Boot up the phone once that is done, and transfer the OTA compiled by Radeon_X (which now also includes Root) to your phone, boot into recovery and install the ota and voila, you have Jellybean: https://hotfile.com/dl/170842913/3b61dbd/d2can_JB_OTA_keeproot.zip.html

    7. ATT users can flash a native modem, however, some users have reported to use LH1 without problems. Look in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

    Noticeable Changes:

    * yes, it is a little laggy, but the touchwiz launcher is SOOOO zippy. It Flies
    * everything so far seems to be fine, no error messages
    * lock screen allows 5 shortcuts
    * wifi tether works
    * root works using the package here: http://download.chainfire.eu/212/Sup...etrieve_file=1
    * the lock screen has a grey hue to it, can someone else please confirm this for me?
    * long pressing the power button brings up a new menu, see attached screenshots
    * the status bar is not edge to edge, it is centered and the last few pixels on the left AND the right, and not used. --- not sure what this is
    * dormant mode is relabelled to be "Blocking Mode"
    * settings>wireless> has a better looking setup
    * pressing and holding icons in touchwiz now gives the menu to delete/app info at the top instead of the bottom
    * the notification bar has minute little detailed changes, ie. the clear button is smaller etc.
    * a lot more widgets - sizes and new widgets both
    * MOST IMPORTANT - YES GOOGLE NOW WORKS PERFECTLY SO FAR
    * New multitasking menu

    *BUGS*

    *the screenshot "SHARE" button is initially blocked and you must scroll up with two fingers and expand it again to show it sometimes
    *music player crashes when you hit the shuffle button at the top of the list
    *playing audio through bluetooth seems to be wonky and doesnt work very frequently.
    *grey status bar
    *uncentered status bar icons



    Thanks to:

    Radeon_X for recompiling the OTA and providing root access as well.

    25 Steps to Jelly Bean for AT&T Users

    So after spending some time working on this I finally got it to work.

    Putting together a lot of info from several users here this is what I did to get it working on AT&T...

    I don't know who all of you are but thank you to everyone who had all the little bits and pieces to get this to work...

    Please read through the entire directions and download all files in the beginning to save time later...

    1. Root with the no flash counter root method found HERE...

    2. Downlaod and install Mobile ODIN Pro HERE...

    3. Download Telus I747MVLALH1 HERE...

    4. Put the Telus Firmware on you Phone, either on internal SD or External...

    5. Open Mobile ODIN Pro and give it SuperUser permission...

    6. Go to "Open file" and find the location you installed the Telus Firmware...

    7. Select the next four check boxes,

    Enable EverRoot
    Inject Superuser
    Inject Mobile Odin
    Wipe Dalvik Cache

    8. Select Flash Firmware, Make sure you flash everything including the modem. (you will flash the right modem back later)

    9. Hit continue until you get a message that asks you to check MD5 sums. Do not do the check cause it will not allow you to flash. Continue...

    10. Rom will now flash and as long as you did not wipe the device you will still have everything installed from before. (you will not have data unless you are connected to WIFI) (Remember this Firmware has the wrong modem installed)

    11. Shut off the device and put it in to Download Mode, (Volume Down, Power and Home at the same time until you see the Download screen and then press the Volume up button)

    12. On Desktop ODIN flash the CWM Recovery found HERE...

    13. Reboot Device

    14. Download the Jelly Bean file found HERE and insert it on either your internal or external SD Card...

    15. Open Mobile ODIN Pro and select OTA / Update Zip and find the location you loaded the OTA Firmware...

    16. ODIN will do a check and come back with an error telling you that 7 files do not match... Ignore this error and tell it to skip the check...

    17. You will now reboot with Jelly Bean installed but still no Data...

    18. Repeat the steps 11, 12 , and 13, (I think the update to jelly bean might include a new recovery and just to be sure, install CWM one more time just to make sure)...

    19. Download the modem that works best for you from HERE...

    20. Power off the device and put it in recovery mode...(Volume UP, Power and Home Button until you see the screen flash and let go)...

    21. Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache...

    22. Go back and install from SD card the Modem you Downloaded...

    23. Reboot, and you now should have Data again...

    24. Check your APN settings, settings/ more settings/ Mobile networks/ Access Point Names/ AT&T PTA/

    For 4G LTE PTA/HSPA+:
    Name: AT&T PTA
    APN: pta
    MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
    MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
    MMS port: 80
    MCC: 310
    MNC: 410
    Auth: none
    APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri

    25. Reboot your Device and enjoy...

    These are the steps I took to get Jelly Bean on my AT&T Galaxy S3 and it is running great...

    Please if I have forgot something or miss typed something let me know...

    OP Please put this on the OP if you fell it will help your users...

    Thanks

    Ok...I'll try and re-clarify.

    I have a US phone on ATT. This seems like it's just for Canada phone users so I'm wondering if this is now ok for US phones.

    I'm running I747UCLEM

    Yes it will work. I have been running it on a us att i-747 since yesterday.
