S3 won't upgrade to 4.3 OTA

[Capialist]

Hi,

I have a SGS3
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband: I9300XXELLA
Kernel: 3.0.31-1276773
Build: JZO54K.I9300ZSEMK2

I bought it unlocked from Canada, but I live in the czech republic. My carrier is vodafone.
I don't understand why my phone can't upgrade to 4.3 OTA... it always says that I have the latest updates.
I've tried connecting to Kies on my laptop, but I have the never ending "connecting" loop.

Anyone know how to upgrade without rooting the phone?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi I have the same S3 information, and the same issue.

I followed the suggestion:

- Uninstalling Kies
- Shut down Laptop
- Start up Laptop
- New Download Kies and install

Then, I tried to connect, and same "connecting" status.

Did I do something wrong ? any suggestion ?

Thanks
