Samsung Galaxy S3 Finally Gets The Fixed Android 4.3 Firmware I9300XXUGMK6
Almost a month ago, Samsung released the Android 4.3 I9300XXUGMJ9 firmware update for the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately this release was full of bugs and made the GS3 day to day usage quite frustrating. Finally, after many complaints, Samsung released the updated / fixed Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The newly released upgrade also lacks the Samsung Knox security feature.
To update your Galaxy S III to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, connect your device to your PS and open Samsung KIES. To download and install the I9300XXUGMK6 firmware via OTA, go to Settings > More > About Device > Software update > Update.
