[Q] Difference between OTA and Kies update - Galaxy S III General

Hi Folks,
I've received 4.3 update for my Galaxy S3. When I connected my phone thru Kies, it downloads data of over 800MB but through OTA the data downloaded is just 407.99MB. I wonder what could be the difference between the two. Please let me know the difference.
Thanks in Advance

The ota update is more like an incremental update, but due to the fact its an update from 4.1 to 4.3 the update is kind of big. Kies should download the full rom.
Btw, wrong section. There is a q&a section

Do I have to back up everything before doing an ota update sorry new to Ota.
Also is ota updating better easier than using kies.
Was never happier to see kies finally work on my mac so i could upgrade to JB

Actually I use XDA with the Pantech Burst ! I wanted to first update my phone and then put apps on it as I cant put apps onto it again and again !!

What it seems like is that the update may not be available for your region. The only thing you could do is call att and see if they will push the update to your device or wait for a someone to make a system image.

don't worry it will surely reach to u
even my frnd has not got it yet
i was stunned bcoz after so big wait i was frustrated and was going to root and flash cm11 and it showed up and started downloading
It's downloading right now through Kies, its about midway. Will report back how it goes.
Also, please use the 4.3 discussion thread and Indian S3 Owners thread. No need to make another thread!
EDIT: Flashed, works fine. Although it's taking a huge amount of internal storage, I think I'll do a factory reset.
just upgraded and very fluid till now

[Q] rooted S4 i9500-last updates

Friends,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 and there is new update but I can not install because the device is rooted and it says updates can not be installed because your device has been modified, any solution please?
It is good is not working otherwise you would brick your phone. Wait for developers until they release a room with that update. Never try to install updates on a samsung rooted room. Cheers

You can update the phone downloading a firm from samy page, then flash it with odin.

How to update rooted Note 4?

Hi guys, hopefully I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there anyway to update my Note 4 to 5.1.1? OTA doesn't work.
Download "OTA updates" app for rooted devices on the app store

go to sammobile to download official 5.1.1 and use odin to flash update
Since you've rooted it works that no longer update via Kies or OTA . As has already written the previous SamMobile download the appropriate software and flash itself
