they said this OTA will improve the stability. I say BS. THis update more like messes up my phone. even after I did a factory reset, it still somehow messed the phone's system sound up. (randomly does muted)
. I restart and took the battery out and things seem fine so far.I'm a bit lost here as I've read so many contradicting things. My wife's phone is a Tmo GS3, but she's already done the update to her phone. What method(s) do I need to follow get her phone rooted?
you would still do this method of rooting;

Interesting. So let me ask you three things.
1. Does this image include the update (I'm assuming it does)?
2. Does this overwrite all my settings and bring me back to square one (apps and all) requiring me to setup everything on my phone again?
3. If have another phone rooted with CWM, but the stock image... could I just flash that using odin over what I already have, or do I need to unroot first?

1) yes, the T999UVALH2 is the most recent update(screen brightness slider in the status bar, etc.)
2) yup, it will revert your phone back to the way it was out-of-the-box, in addition to giving you root access. all your apps and settings will have to be reinstalled.
3) assuming it's the same phone and same carrier, i don't see why you couldn't do a CWM restore in recovery.
Mine is only rooted and it won't take.
I get a failure every time.
Is this update even worth the trouble? Shouldn't I we just wait until we get JB or better yet there is a stable JB ROM?

Does Keis work on Win7 machines? I always had so much trouble with it. It bricked a phone when I was using WinXP
Just wait... it shouldn't be too long till T-Mobile releases the official update. I really don't mind waiting since I use my N7. Its already has jb.
Everything worked just fine, except one thing. The notification saying that there is a T-mobile update available is still in the notification bar. How do I get rid of that?
edit: Nevermind, I found a thread about it. You can delete the update under /cache/fota and then do the update and it will fail and remove the notification. I didn't have anything in that directory because I just installed that firmware so I just tried the update causing it to fail and allowing it to clear the notification.

Yup, it did mine also, so I'm using SwiftKey now,which Imo is better
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
while swiftkey is a better keyboard. the samsung one is more astehically pleasing. cant do it.

Download Samsung Kies from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/, after you install it, plug your phone in and it'll prompt you to update. It's really simple and you won't have to wait for T-mobile to push the update in your area.2
Under /system/app there googlequicksearchbox_usa.apk. remove the _usa part and then flash google now and itshould work. This also brings back universal search.
And if you tripped flash counter use triangle away to reset it11
