Yes, Samsung does not let all Samsung Galaxy S III users down. Here is the latest leaked Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) Jelly Bean XXUFMB3 Firmware for Samsung Galaxy S3 (It is a test release firmware, not official). What are the new features? Improved ripple effect on Lockscreen, lockscreen with widgets, daydream, new additions in Notification Center, actionable notifications and voice command are some that have been found. There are more for sure because this firmware should be prepared for Samsung Galaxy S4 as well. As usual, this test firmware increases binary counter. ROM junkie, flash it at your own risk…
Is XXUFMB3 Firmware for Samsung Galaxy S3 good? Let me know after you try it. Thanks.

I am from India and I bought S3 (I9300) last week,
In eager to update my device to latest, I updated to official jelly bean 4.1.2 via OTA after 1 day use on ICS.
Now I feel I made mistake as the 4.1.2 is kind of slow and I feel I should go back to ICS.
But I dont know how to go back to ICS without ruining my samsung warranty.
Can you please let me know if that is possible to go back to ICS without ruining warranty?
Also, updating to this 4.2.1 test release will make any difference and will it also ruin my warranty?
Please help as I am new android user, I was with symbian E63 nokia before.
Thanks in advance… π
Hi amit3880, better go to Samsung Service Center and ask them to downgrade for you since you are new to Android.
thank you… let me check that option..! π
btw… that was quicker reply than what I thought…! π thanks again..
Hi Jayce,
This question is not related to the ROM but rather the option where we can upgrade the Camera firmware via the USSD code. I have updated my camera firmware before with any problems but suddenly with a new ROM (*not this one), I found that the PHONE TO CAM WRITE FW button is disabled. This has never happened to me before. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Seem like Samsung disabled it in new firmware. Can’t do much here.
hi ooi
my s3 runs very slow.i have done factorey reset n everything. but still same problem
Hi sam, are you using official firmware?
Hi joi
I am using it.but now after installing the firmware u asled me to install the samsung
Kies is not supporting my device.
Wht shall i do.
Thnx
Install other firmware then.
I rooted my GalaxyS3 and then saw that I did not need that level of control. Unrooted and now I cannot do firmware upgrade. Want to use your advice here but do not see where to download the firmware. Just to confirm, I am using a Galaxy S3 unlocked, bought in USA, living in Israel.
Try to get from SamMobile.

When will be the official release of the latest android version 4.2.2 jelly bean?
No idea on the exact date, Samuel. Normally 2 to 3 months after leaked firmware.
Hi. My dock icons cannot be arranged since i upgrade to 4.1.2 before i can renove or put another icons on the dock bar. But now it didnt work.
Hmm… It should work. How do you edit them?
I just drag them.
Try to edit them in the drawer see.
I already do that.
Many times but didnt work.
Try to consult Samsung Support then.
