The company that made our chip (STE Ericsson) has gone bust so there are no kernel sources.

Stuck on 4.2.2 MLG

Am I stuck on 4.2.2 MLG ? Is there a way I can go back or get the real ota 4.2.2 update? Or root the MLG?

You mean 4.4.2 MLG (leaked Kitkat).
Do you have a AT&T Device Support Center near you or BestBuy - Samsung booth? You'll have to visit them to get them to flash it to 4.4.2 NC2 (official Kitkat)
No other way around it.
I was just at the samsung booth and NO GO.

I tried to have best buy flash official kitkat on my phone, I am on leaked 4.4.2 MLG Oneclickbin.exe and when she plugged in my phone it said it does not recognize the software. She was not able to flash anything because the software she was using doesn't even see my phone. I wanted to go to official kitkat OTA because I might be selling it soon but I can't now. Anyone know why this would happen? Hopefully she just missed something?
It happened because the software on your phone is leaked and was never intended for release go to the general section and look for Carl's thread it will get you to official ota kk

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.....
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-galaxy-s3-lte-jb-4-3-mod-t2607321
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

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.

There are ports from n7105 (the note 2 lte versios case that has the same hardware as our i9305), the s 3 neo is diferent so I do not think it is posible, samsung didn't abandon the s3 i9305, but our phone is not a priority, they willprobably relice an update once android L will be out, if they do it now people won't be interested in upgrading to new phones, once android L is out samsung figurs that a 4.4 update will not be enogh for i9305 users (everione wants the latest) and the od phone's update will not be a threat to samsung sales

I know it didn't abandon it, but I guess it'll take time to release the update. So, I want it fast. Also, could you provide me with the thread for thr NOTE II Port?
Just did. Please go to the development forum and +1 my thread so we can get votes.

[Q] Need a link to android 4.1.1 for the galaxy s3 i9305

Can someone send me a link to android 4.1.1 for the galaxy s3 i9305 (non branded) ? I need to downgrade from android 4.3 as that update is terrible on for my battery life and the performance is terrible as well. Thanks
uldate to 4.4.4 It is amazing and better than 4.1.1
Okay, any chance of a link to that for the galaxy s3 i9305 unbranded? I kinda lost my patience waiting for the update so I'd rather flash it instead.

You now that downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 is not posibil due to new bootloader and knox in 4.3 firmware?
