I just copy and paste because it worked for me this is from
Gam3r 4 Life
:: there might be a flashable zip::
After a failed OTA I Just got mine to work via Kies. Heres what I did.
1) Used the SuperSU app to do the full unroot option.
2) Rebooted then made sure it was unrooted using root checker.
3) Connected with Kies to PC and saw Firmware update available.
4) Started update, Waited for it to run its process and it worked.
5) After it was done I showed normal status in settings. I then rerooted with debugfs, reinstalled SuperSu, then uninstalled superuser. I prefer SuperSU.
6) Then went into goomanager app to reinstall current TWRP. Im now good to go with update, root, and TWRP!!

TWRP is your problem (plus any frozen bloatware if that's the if you have done that). In order to take the OTA you will need to restore the stock recovery.

Here you go. Just flash the lj3 update in twrp.
And you need not worry about the jb update. There's a few of us checking everyday and the first one to get it will surely send it to shabby to be made into a flashable zip for the rest.
