[Custom OTA Update] XXBLG6 to XXBLG8 Flash in CWM without losing root or recovery

Here are my custom CWM recovery OTA updates for the international S3
NOTE: For STOCK Rom users only. Your CSC must be I9300OXABLG6. If you have made any changes to files in the /system folder it will fail.
If like me your using a stock ROM rooted with custom recovery or kernel and want to update without downloading the whole ROM and risk losing root and recovery in the process. These modded updates are for you to save time, bandwith and frustration.
Current OTA update: XXBLG6 to XXBLG8
ota.update.all.XXBLG8.zip 4 MB
ota.update.no.modem.XXBLG8.zip 4 MB
ota.update.no.kernel.XXBLG8.zip 542 KB
ota.update.no.kernel.and.modem.XXBLG8.zip 541 KB
All the zips here will not replace your custom recovery or remove root. The no kernel and no modem zips are intended for users with a custom kernel and or want to keep their current baseband.
Tested and working on CWM 6.0.1.0 Touch and Chainfire's CWM 5.5.0.4
If you've got the OTA update notification nag, to get rid of it do this:
1. Using a file explorer with root permissions, I use ES. Go to /cache/fota ,In there will be the update.zip
2. Delete it or move it to your sd card.
3. Bring up the updater from the notifications and press install and OK, it should fail.
4. Notification nag gone.
Older OTA updates:
Austria (T-Mobile)
ota.update.XXALE8-XXBLFB.CSC-MAXLF2.zip 72 MB
ota.update.no.kernel.XXALE8-XXBLFB.CSC-MAXLF2.zip 67 MB

If you have got any older OTA updates, could you make them available for download so I can convert them.

Nice work mate, I'm sure a lot of people will find this very useful.

+1 very well done. People who have not recieved ota or for some reason are still on lg6 like me will love it

Could you help converting other OTA updates as well? I got a I9300XXALE8 and an OTA update of I9300XXBLFB,
Do I need a full wipe to flash them?
Thanks.

Its an "update". Why would you need wipe for an update

Upload it somewhere and put the link here and I will see what I can do. Use a root explorer to copy it to your sd card. Its in '/cache/fota'

Sorry that it didnt work for you guys. Your CSC must be I9300OXABLG6 and you must be on stock XXBLG6 for it to update. If you've got a branded phone it won't work either. What errors was it showing in CWM?

Its in the '/cache/recovery' folder. That status 7 error means it failed the assert test for the model fingerprint I believe. You can only flash this update on a XXBLG6 rom and your CSC must be I9300OXABLG6. To check what ROM and CSC your using, do this.
1. Open your keypad dialer
2. Press *#1234#
3. It should show your ROM and CSC. AP = ROM and CP = Baseband.

On the given link i did not find it for india. It is there for moroco and others

can we flash this zip from samsum's stock recovery by selection update from external sd card. The Zip file included following files.....(screenshot attached).

I have read somewhere on sammobile you can flash with recovery, but i have practically never did it. and have no idea about it. You can flash it at own risk.
But you must be on stock ROM( I think only on full stock DDLR6). Other thing this update contains Kernel, and by that way putting device on unsafe kernel. and yes wiping will be dangerous too.

Wiping on stock kernel without CWM is apparently safe.
Wait for sammobile or CheckFus to upload the entire Rom. It's better to flash then lest one might get bricked following incorrect procedure.

It is probably safe (said by entropy). So i dont like to advice still.
and after flashing device may not boot properly then you have option to wipe is CWM only.
Otherwise have to follow routine procedure.

No one getting the update over the air officialy?
Mine is showing no update available as OTA!

I suggest wait for full ROM. Sometimes OTA upgrades do act erratically and cause problems.

Dr. ketan you are a genius. But I would like to follow your advise. I will wait for full ROM release by Sammobile.com

Yes you should wait. even sammobile also saying this
This section is specially for the die-hard Samsung owner.
The person who love to tweak with their device fully on their own RISK!
If you dont know what to do with these files, you probably shouldn't touch them.
Let those who knows do it insead.
Click to expand...

other thing this upate having kernel (and may be without recovery, and so i guess if you have non stock recovery won't work any more), so it will leave you unrooted (i still doubt it work on rooted), and on unsafe kernel.
so there are full chances to mess device if you are just away from base ROM(DDLR6)
In sort, leave this for Flashing maniac only. and routine user should wait for regular update,.

will they release LR6 with update integrated ?
this update looks interesting .....

Because I dont think there will be any development on this.
BTW Those pics look great

This rom was made by Mvhla who is a chinese rom maker. This rom was first released at 52samsung.com. The newest version is 8.91
This rom has multi-windows cracked/playstore added/3 languages only.
This rom has an issue that changing battery might lead to bootloop. Powering off the note correctly and waiting a minute before replacing the battery everytime would solve this issue.
The intallation is in chinese.
BTW, Hongkong has a new leak.

Question out of the box - will it work if i install this via PC Odin directly over LSZ?
I have few mods etc + philz kernel?

When you install with PC Odin you have to reinstall Kernel/Mods/Themes. If the India Rom is a no-wipe your data will not be touched. So: yes you can install (and should do so), but your LSZ specific thins will be erased/overwritten.

this ones gonna keep the servers busy !
