It simply means that you'll have to wait for the update. Some are getting OTA some via KIES. Don't worry about the message your getting from KIES. I got.tiff and 2 weeks later it updated to a new version and ran the update to ICS. Its rolling out slowly in different regions.
If you can't wait head over to sammobile.com and grab the firmware to flash yourself with Odin...

the OP said they distant want to root!
As a previous poster has said you have two choices really. 1. wait for the official OTA release, or 2. Download an existing stock ROM that had already been released and flash that using Odin.
Instead of using SamMobile you could download FUS Checker, and use that to download a ROM that matches your configuration (if available.) FUS Checker is a Windows app that searches Samsung servers in the same way as Kies but allows you to download and decrypt the file so you can flash it with Odin.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Thanks a lot friends for your replies..i am happy to see the response. i am thinking to root my phone and install ICS with a custom rom and i am searching in google and i found too many roms and each roms have many advantages and disadvantages. i have mnay questions before i root my phone . can you people kindly clarify my doubts ? i am a bit nervous that i may brick my mobile .

Mate, if you go onto the android dev forum for this handset you can get a full write up on how to root, backup your efs/nv data, and then how to flash a new rom (eg pandoriam, ripper, rxtreme, wanam etc) if you can't find something then search the forum for the answer. It should all be thsre , good luck!!

But can u at least answer this for me is the GT 19305T the same as I9305? If so i already have toolkit but the first thing asks me for my build which could be 11,12,13,14. idk which one cant find the last letters in system info
Yes the "T" in the name is just the Telstra branding, if you follow ausdims rooting thread you will be fine

Thank you
The 'T' in the model number isn't branding. The phone is actually slightly different.
I have a friend who works for Telecom here in NZ and they also sell the I9305T.
He said it is optimised for use on Telecom's network (and obviously Telstra's too) it uses different modems and the antenna is different inside the phone.
They do however use the same ROMs and firmware. Anything intended for the I9305 will also work the same on the I9305T, except modems.

Hi all,
I have a question about rooting, i followed the ausdim rooting guide and installed triangleaway but system still shows modified. Anyway, Is there a ways not to use CWM recovery and use stock recovery? how can i flash stock recovery and keep root? and if i want to update to 4.1.2, can i do OTA without losing root? Thanking you in advance

Hello everyone!
New to this forum and new to Android phone. I have searched the whole forum and read through the dev-sections. Also did searches on multiple sites and through searchengines to find out what device model to use in the ToolKit...didn't find any confirming answer to my question.
As I have no posts from before, I couldn't write this in the dev-section, so I chose the thread that was closest to what I was looking for.
Question: What is the correct device model to choose in the ToolKit (I have version 7.0.0).
Information from my "about section"...
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G
Model: GT-I9305
Android-version: 4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I9305XXALK5
Operator: Telenor (Norway)
The options I lean towards since the only choice showing 4G, is number 21 (International 4G).
Problem is that it says it's GT-I9305N and not GT-I9305. It also says (Build JRO03C ALIA) and that does not match to my build either.
Then I look at the (International LTE), which says (GT-I9305)...which is ok.
And then number 14, which says (Build JRO03C ALK5), which is the same as mine...but it doesn't say 4G, which I have.
It might sound silly, but I really dont want to make the wrong choice here and end up having a phone that either "does not work at all"
or "does not work as it should". And before anyone says that I then should just leave it alone, my only intention at this point is to let
my anti-virus get root-access, so that the firewall works and the anti-theft works.
Hope anyone can be of help and thanks in advance.

Ok, so I rooted my device yesterday after reading through like 10 more threads...just took a chance, thought to myself "guts and glory" and went for it..went well =) I chose option 14 the build was the same as mine and it worked like a charm.
I am still left with a few quesitons though...might not be relevant to the thread anymore...
Does the rooting share the same build-match requirement as the flashing of a new operatingsystem?
How do I uninstall apps that were preinstalled on an operatorlocked phone?
Anders - Norway
I think you should look for app in app store, Root App delete or something like that. Then search for you operator apps/files and remove.

1. Bootloader is allready unlocked
2.For how to root look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190&highlight=how+to+root
3. Flash custom recovery, would advice this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZf39vI0Lc. Download the .tar.md5 and flash with Odin in PDA.
4. Go to the CM thread and download the latest nightly and Gapps (Google apps) and place on the sdcard.
5. Go in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, format system and data factory reset and then flash the CM rom and Gapps right after another without rebooting, reboot and you`re done.
hi
hello does it matter that it's a different usb cable, its of htc because the one i got with the phone doesnt seem recognise my phone on the pc
thanks

Hi I'm quite new too in the note 5 section and just got a used mint one because my N6 broke down.
Anyways, you can just do an odin flash for your said model (+ if it's a carrier model, be sure to check too).
If you want a custom rom, you just too just flash TWRP on top of you current rom then flash what ever custom rom you want. I'm currently on XStock V2 going as a daily driver
any have a firmware SM-N920S for delete account samsung note 5
please share link or firmware
Here is the official 7.0 firmware for the N920S.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note5/SM-N920S/
Flash with Odin in download mode.
Just get it downloaded for now. I/someone can elaborate on the instructions once you've acquired the rom. The download time is quite long.
Friends, colleagues and colleagues.
I hope you can help me in the next problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Flat G920A from AT & T. I updated it via ADB to Nougat 7.0, but the truth is that it gives me little performance in screen usage, it would be as long as 3 hours, so I want to downgrade it, I remember when I updated Nougat I had to find the official AT & T ROM Stock that Was compatible to be able to update ie download the ROM that mentioned my previous BASEBAND followed by TO and then named the new BASEBAND.
It was something like that.
ANCIENT BASEBAND? TO G920AUCU6EQCF.
Now my question is the following as I can know which file I should flasehar on my G920A to return to MARSHMALLOW ask because I do not want to cause a softbrick or hardbrick to my device.
