I already have the latest version of JB but this morning I got a large firmware update from Samsung. Anybody know what it is or does?
 
Looking on line I think its to do with the bricking problems some phones have had (not that i have had any problems)

If its XXELLA, it addresses the Exynos Memory security flaw.

It also provides a new Bootloader which is harder to reset the flash counter on (bad news for rooted users)

The included Kernel is built from Samsungs Update 7 Source code which includes a fix that addresses the bad firmware on the VTU00M 0xf1 eMMC found in most 16GB S3's, causing the eMMC to fail.
