as i have stated multiple times you can install that zip from sd card as long as you have cleared up any errors (which is the reason after you tried updating you ended up still on 4.2.2.) the same thing happened to me the first time i tried it via sd, and it wasnt till i figured out what the errors were that it worked which i found via sideload. how is your current system configured ie do you have safestrap installed? if so you will need to uninstall it manually via adb shell. if not did you previously have safestrap installed? when you uninstalled safestrap how did you do it via adb shell or some other way. this seems to be one of the big ones. also had you previously installed Chainfire's Region lock away as it seems to modify the customer.xml and causes issues when the update tries to patch the file. i have a backup of the file if so to try and resolve it. please let me know. i want to help you out

No safestrap. Got phone rooted so he may have had previously for some reason? May just have to put windows on my Mac, Odin stock and proceed from there. Is there a complete Odin 4.3 yet?
