[Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update

[upndwn4par]

Warning: This will update your bootloader, so proceed at your own risk!

Flashing the update will wipe all data, as in factory reset wipe, as in everything is gone. Poof!

You must update to 4.1.2 before updating to 4.3.

You can not downgrade to 4.1.2 after installing the 4.3 update. Any attempts to do so will brick your device.

Go Here For Rooting Instructions

Instructions
1) Backup your files to your PC.
2) Odin back to stock 4.1.1 (DLK3).
3) Download update zips for BOTH 4.1.2 and 4.3, and check MD5 for both.
4) Create two folders on your external sd card named 412 and 43, and put the 4.1.2 and 4.3 updatexxx.zip in the respective folders.
5) Plug phone in to AC charger (4.3 update takes a while).
6) Reboot recovery, install the 4.1.2 update from sd card, flash (update installs and phone reboots).
7) Reboot recovery, install the 4.3 update from sd card, flash (update installs and phone reboots).
8) Enjoy 4.3!


Edit:
The 4.1.2 OTA can apparently be flashed with Mobile Odin.

does it work on unrooted stock 4.1.1?

 

[danvee]

That should be fine with stock recovery.

Should mention that this replaces the boot loader so be careful.

It looks like root and custom recovery are still accessible which is a good sign.

Correct. Root is holding fine after CF Auto-Root. And I installed both TWRP and CWM, both of which are working fine.

Just curious my friend when you say rename zip do you mean rename this 2400258.zip to update.zip and then flash it then use odin to to install CF Auto-Root?

Yes sir.

Edit:
I just renamed the zip file and simplified the instructions.

Edit:
install fails on rooted 4.1.1 with cwm, will try with fresh install of 4.1.1

Thanks again Got CWM Recovery Rooted with Latest AT&T 4.1.2 As you can see Baseband version:I747UCDMG2 In my my Deadly Venom Custom Rom! :good:

Works fine when updated from 4.1.1 stock recovery, thanks! also it wipes all user setings and data.

 

[DiamondJay20]

nice! EXCEPT for deleting all my apps and ****!

update: but worth it, runs much smoother, and some games like Jewels Deluxe, which is easily the best Jewels out there now work again

Strange, but I was on stock 4.1.1 with root and clockwork. Did the OTA, when installing the phone reboots into CW recovery. Asks if I want to install untrusted zip. Choose yes ands CW installed the update. Then warns that I could lose root....fix? Chose yes and CW kept my root. Did this work do anyone else?

Should have a flashable zip of this by tomorrow evening. I've been tackling this thing all night, (5 a.m. here) and I have successfully dumped everything I need and am working on setting it up in the kitchen. I've pulled the modem but I'm too afraid to test at the moment. It's 60 MB, yet all of the other modems are ~40 MB. Getting pretty exhausted so I'll have to take a break soon.

I hope you don't mind if I pull this modem out from your ZIP and put it on my modem list? I don't have an AT&T device myself, so I have to rely on others to post the AT&T updates.
