The XXDLH8 update bringing Android 4.1.1 for the S3 I9300 is here. You can't apply the update by flashing a file in recovery mode but installing the update is quite simple and you can install it easily using ODIN. Below we are providing a very detailed description of how to install this update on your S3 I9300. Please know that this is not the official release build of the firmware but actually a leaked version. But it has been tested and found to be working on the Galaxy S3 I9300.
It is highly advised that you do not try to attempt to apply this update on any other phone. If you do try and end up with some damage Dead Or Android cannot do anything to help you. Moving on, you should know that this is not a rooted firmware and you will need to root it separately.
Before you begin if you have any important data on your phone, backup the data. Also make sure to make a back up of the internet package settings so that you do not end up without an active internet connection after the update. (Just a reminder, you do not need an internet connection on your phone to apply the update it was just mentioned as a precaution.)
