You have a rooted phone using custom firmware and recovery. You can't flash a carrier update while on a custom ROM. ODIN back to stock first, then do the carrier upgrade.

First off another :hello:

Can you give us a little more info please? Which carrier is your S3 on<snip>

Please try to answer this, it could go a long way to determine where to potentially move this thread for the best exposure.

its made in china <snip>

On the other hand, if it is a Chinese 'knockoff' of a Samsung Galaxy SIII that could be the whole problem.

If you'd like I can move this into the Galaxy S3 all things root section. You will probably receive the best help there as you will have a whole section of experienced users with your device.<snip>

And again, please answer the question about which carrier your phone is on so we can determine how best to help you; either here or moreso a move to the best section populated with users most familiar with your device.

Thanks and good luck

i dont know the carrier of my phone. galaxy international is that a carrier?.. im from the philippines and i used roaming sim.. but im sure its not at&t sprint or verizon.. my phone is unlocked i can use any sim..

Galaxy international is not a carrier. What is your network? you can check on about -> status ->Network. Also check your baseband version. Try to use csc changer and choose the correct code for your carrier ;)
