oh wow! Kies finished downloading the update & after it gets to 100% completed, it rebooted my phone automatically. Unfortunately, my phone is stuck at the "Downloading..." screen for over 15 minutes now. I went to their website to check out the file and it is huge. 738MB.
Firmware archive | Samsung Updates

I'll let the phone run for another 30 minutes and if the progress don't improve, I'll download the firmware to my SD card and install it from there.

Hold home button. Select center icon.

This did the trick, thanks!

(I tried holding down the home button before and Google Now didn't pop up.)

Hrmm I downloaded Kies earlier for the first time for Mountain Lion, and then downloaded the update to Kies from there without a hitch. Once my SIII was connected to my MacBook Pro Kies immediately detected that there was an update for my phone, and within 30 minutes, I am happy to report that I now have JELLY BEAN!!! This is an awesome update, and worth the wait, and all of my complaining!!! Here's to hoping Verizon is next!

Figured i would give it one more try, and i got it. I completely deleted Kies from my Mac(i have lion). Reinstalled Kies, and got version 2.0.0.12113_6. Plugged in my phone, and BINGO, update available. Took about 30 minutes, and it's all good now. Was even able to sync everything on my phone w/Kies. I must have had an outdated version of Kies, or a corrupted copy. Never even took out my SD card, but it's working and all was restored.

Connected to Kies and I don't see an option to upgrade. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It should auto check for the latest firmware once your device is connected. Make sure you phone is properly connected to Kies.

I haven't read all the comments but has anyone experienced and weirdness in the firmware?

I'm on the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade process" and its just stuck at 0%...

I just tried this update via Kies method and my AT&T GS3 is now fcuked!

I am on JB, But now it's stuck in an endless loop. It boots, gets to the home screen then freezes and crashes and reboots again. And again. And again.

I STRONGLY advise people to wait until the official AT&T update.

Off to the AT&T store I go tomorrow. Hopefully they can help.

Update worked. Turns out all I had to do was restart my phone BEFORE I did the update process. Once I did it all worked fine. Took at least an hour.
All is well.

It won't let me connect to Kies. Also, my mac book won't allow to Kies to update.

This is an official AT&T update. Sht happens, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that Kies has an emergency firmware recovery option. I had to use it when I updated my Note to ICS. I remember it clearly because I was in a hotel at 11 at night with no backup cell phone.

Still stuck on this, with my phone having the android on it saying "downloading....do not turn off target!!". Not sure what I'm supposed to do, if anything. It's been on 0% for almost half an hour.

My phone has been downloading the software from PC to phone fine, but I'm kind of worried because it has been at 89% for like 10min.
