Error when checking for software update? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I keep getting some weird error like "server not available" and then I have to wait 24 hours to try again and then get an error. I know there's probably not an update but want to make sure there's not anything wrong with the phone. Anybody getting an error when checking for software update on AT&T GS3?

Yea me to

My phone says it is up to date when I try the software update, no server found on kies from my phone. I downloaded kies on my computer and when I tried to download the update, it says I can't.

No bone stock. Maybe the server its looking for isn't up yet. Strange though.

Yup. As long as everybody gets the error then we're fine. Issue would be if only some of us were getting it.

I have an ATT S3 and it says mine is up to date! If you guys continue to have an issue I would try a hard reset. You can dot his from your phone.

How do we do hard reset

Mine still has the error even after hard reset

Maybe AT&T has multiple update servers and only certain geographic areas has theirs up.

Could be I'm in Iowa

Thanks for being the Guinea pig. I'm just going to wait it out. I think their systems are probably not fully up. The phone isn't even sold in stores yet.

I've been talking with Samsung they said it needs sent in . But AT&T hasn't even released the phone officially in stores so I dunno what to do

OTA announced when I called T-Mobile.

I called T-Mobile tonight to change my HTC One S to my wifes account due to picking up this bad boy and an automated voice came on while I waited and said that there was going to be an update for my device next week.
Im hoping we're talking 4.1.1 but I guess its better than guessing IF instead of when, just thought of another thing.... what if its for the One S and not the GS3.

I believe the one s is receiving a update to 4.0.4

Don't hold your breath, it would take T mobile 2 months after the international S3 gets it...

I have the One S and its at 4.0.4 already, hell it could be for my daughters phone too but I agree with nightfox because T-Mobile is well known for dragging their feet on the updates in the past.

That message is probably 2 weeks old, and talking about the update that we did get last week.

Has anyone returned their phone through warranty because of edge/imei issue?

So basically I restored my imei but nothing is still working I told T-Mobile it was overheating then it happened, they went through the whole trial and error process then sent me to tech support. They set me up to do a warranty exchange so I have to send it in, I bought this phone flat out, wondering If they could find anything even after resetting the Tripper and going back to stock? Thanks.

We dont know, and more then likely Samsung and Tmobile has no clue when its going to drop. People who give you a month or date are guessing and or going off rumors like the person who posted above me.

I don't get what the fuss about jb is all about. Yeah it's androids latest and greatest OS but the stock UVLH2 is great imo. Does everything I want it to. I'm just happy that we're not on froyo anymore.

Seriously, you will have to TRY to not know about it. Just be patient. EXPECT it not to come out till December or January!
Then you can be really happy if it comes before then!
Besides there is nothing wrong with ics. I just dont understand why so many people get so frustrated and unhappy because an update isnt out right here right now!

It said no firmware because there is no OTA firmware update at the time. Nothing to worry about. Let's see what's on your phone. Can you screenshot a pic of your build number, like this.

Thanks for the response.here are my screen shots I still can't connect to the network. The Sim worked in my other phone right away this one won't connect tho.

Hmm out of service, I'll double check if your IMEI has not been blacklisted. Hopefully guy didn't sell you a stolen or lost phone. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, could help to.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I haven't rooted yet if I do and flash a custom ROM would that work. The phone has been working for the past 4 days with no problems till today.

Planning on holding off a week or 2 just to get the full experience.
It makes installing a good rom, that much better!

I will be holding off as well. I'm kinda satisfied at the moment with what Samsung has provided. I don't like the bloat and I miss my root apps. But I think I'll be just fine for a month or so.

With the 2GB of ram is the bloatware still slowing the phone down.

Been waiting on my sd card from amazon that arrived today. I'm trying to hold off rooting until TWRP is ready.
I'm amazed I've lasted this long without rooting, but like others above I'm holding out until I can 'fully experience' the stock software Samsung tossed out there. I didn't want to drop 600+ on a new phone and not at least give the new stuff a try!

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was under the impression that the only way you could get a bad imei is if the phone was lost or stollen.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Well back when the s3 originally came out we had a bunch of people randomly lose their imei. I would show up as just 0. And there was no efs folder to back up because it no longer contained imei.
