if you update your i9305 via ota update or kies, you will get the knox bootloader (new bootloader since 4.3) and that crap is nothing but a pain in the ass!! read about KNOX here. I dont recommend updating to official 4.3 for now with ota or kies, instead of that use a custom stock rom 4.3 from any developer on the development thread of i9305 without knox. but first ask in the thread of the rom, if you will get knox by flashing it? knox itself is removed from those custom 4.3 roms but still i dont know for sure, i have the new bootloader with knox myself unfortunately
all this time since im on knox bootl. ive had no problems actually with the knox bootloader in all that custom roms/kernels/recoveries flashing etc. but some do have and maybe you will too...(i hope not of course, if you do update to official 4.3) but you are warned!
the problem is that I haven't getting any updates till now as my mobile is from oman nd im in india.....

I'm also on 4.1 jb... and will try that as well...
Update to 4.3 isnt worth at all.
Well configured 4.1.2 with some useful application is much better.
I just recently updated my s3 to 4.3 and the knox app isn't installed its just a link to install it should I install it or not
Sent from my GT-I9305T using XDA Free mobile app

I am still on 4.1, but as far as I know, the problem is not the Knox app, but the Bootloader for 4.3, which has Knox installed. Which means that you void your warranty if you install custom roms after updating to stock 4.3. Like MaHo said, read Here
The better advice would be to flash some custom K.K. 4.4.4 rom instead. It has A LOT more improvements than 4.3.

Update to 4.3 isnt worth at all.
Hi Member,
I am on 4.1.2 version rooted with CWM installed. I want to upgrade to 4.3 stock. Is there any rom available without the knox bootloader and near stock with samsung touchwiz etc. I am searching from past one week but couldn't able to find anything on it.

Yes, there is a Stock 4.3 ROM from ShonkUK i think that basically just updates all the applications to the 4.3 versions, without KNOX. There are also a number of Modified 4.3 ROMS that all dont have KNOX so you could check them out if you fancy it.
Cheers
There's KNOX, and KNOX apps. KNOX is inside the bootloader (or similar), KNOX Apps are somewhere inside the android file system.
Once the 4.3 bootloader is flashed, you're done. Most roms DON'T FLASH a bootloader, but be sure to check Usually, those flashed from recovery are safe.... from Odin... who can tell?
Thanks for the reply. Can you please give me a link from where I can download the rom or any specific name as there are lots of cwm roms available and its very confusing to pick up.

EVERY based on stock 4.3 rom here is on 4.1.2 bootloader.
However, before downloading any rom first take the time and read as much as possible, cause you seems to be novice and lazy
Try this, 4.1.2 bootloader and 4.3 rom

In order to use a custom rom you will generally need to install safestrap, busybox, and superuser. Then you can install a custom rom found from the development section here. If you're on jellybean you can only flash JB roms. If you want kit kat you'll have to do some reading. Once you go kit kat, you can't go back to jellybean. So read the kit kat rom threads and see what you need to do for installation.

Your question is not precise enough. You have to tell us more info about your phone and also more things on what you want to do.
Do you have i9305 or i9300 ? If it's i9305, maybe I can help you.
Do you have new KNOX bootloader from JB 4.3 or new KNOX bootloader from KK 4.4.4 ?
Which 4.3 ROM do you want to flash ?
i have k.k bootloader(new bootloader) and my device is i9305 AND the rom i wana install is XXUENE4][JB4.3][6.8.2014] ▌★AMCHA Rom v6.11★

Since I've upgraded to new 4.4.4 bootloader, I've never flashed 4.3 or previous, but I think it should work.
If you flash this ROM or any other ones, don't forget to backup all your data.
Why don't you try Amcha KK instead ? Amcha JB is no more maintained.
Hello,
I actually have two Samsung SIII i9305, one is on Cyanogenmod 11 and one is in stock ROM 4.3. I read some tutorial talking about doing it with a downgrade 4.1.1. The problem is that I can't find any ROM 4.1.1 and if really I finally find it, this process is really viable even if after that I change ROM? Maybe some other solution exists?
Thank you
Hello,
I think you can not flash 4.1, when you had flashed 4.3
according to this thread is it possible to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/news-downgrade-android-4-3-to-4-1-2-t2644371
and a 4.1.1 rom is easy to find on samdownloads
