Help GS3 No Update Available!

My S3 isn't updating from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 whereas my roommate's S3 has successfully updated. When I choose the software update option it says no update available. It says I have the latest firmware when I connect it with KIES too. My friend has the Pakistani region one and I have a Middle East one. Both are factory unlocked.

Also there is another friend's S3 and it is still on 4.0.4 and also says no update available (This one is also a Pakistani region).

I tried formatting/factory reset and also tried removing and re-adding my Google and Samsung accounts. Also cleared Google Framework app cache and forced stop it as suggested somewhere on the internet. Any suggestions guys?

Thanks!
 
have you tried checking it via OTA? Also you need to check if 4.1.2 is out in middle east. Simplest way would be to download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash it your phone via odin.

Ok, perhaps I can help. First off, what version of Kies are you running, or are you trying to get the update via OTA?
I had an older version of Kies on my first attempt, which told me there was no update, when in fact there was. I just simply grabbed the latest version from Samsung, and performed the update. (Of course it botched a bunch of stuff, but...point being older software didn't see the new info on the new servers)

Second, have you backed everything up? If so, then you can always ODIN the new version on to the phone. Just get Odin3 3.04, and the update for your phone, and you should be good to go. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. :)
