Samsung Galaxy s3 - Failed to update firmware

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 08:38:15 GMT

I keep getting this error:

Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try software update via settings > software update > update, or try using PC kies later.

Any ideas?

(I am without my USB cable for a few days)

You either need USB cable and connect to Kies on a PC or use a wifi connection for OTA updates.

Why is that? Others do over the air?

Yes, but on wifi only, not cell data. Its a 300mb update.....

300MB is a hefty update. Is this the Samsung default or the O2 customised version of the update?

Only on release by O2 currently. Sim free version not rolled out by Samsung yet. O2 remove the OTA 3G option from their FW....

Server must be busy then I guess with the other 20 million people trying to download it....
