Help How do I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Jelly Bean?

[TimeAndroid]

Hi! I was wondering how to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Jelly Bean.

Things you should know:
-I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE
-My model number is SGH-1747M
-Android version 4.0.4
-My carrier is Bell

Please help!

Oh yeah, is this compatible with my device? Sorry, I'm not that advanced when it comes to Android.

Thats like your pic messaging to put it simply. Some folks don't mind not having it as they don't us it, but at the same time you don't realize how much you use it until you can't.

SMS = Short Message Service ... texts

MMS = Multimedia Messaging Service ... music, animation, video, sound files.

You'll be able to send MMS messages so long as you update with the official release.

Hi everyone, I've been having problems with kies and now even with the new JB upgrade. When I plug it in, Kies will prompt me about the new firmware version. I follow the direction to download it, but once it completes it just force shutdown Kies and doesnt do anything. Anyone know what i can do to fix this?

I had the same issue when I was trying to update my wife's unrooted GS3 to JB through Kies last night. I would try to upgrade the software for kies, and it would just keep shutting down on me. Finally, I attempted to just load JB to her phone through Kies without upgrading the software of Kies, and it just kept freezing on me, so wife doesn't get JB till this gets figured out. My S3 is rooted, so I followed the instructions in this thread on XDA and used Odin to flash my phone to a stock JB ROM with root...
