New 4.1.2 OTA update on Verizon Galaxy S3 I535VRBLMD3 with Full Premium Suite Packaged

The Multi-Window feature is finally added on this latest Verizon Galaxy S3's OTA update with baseband version I535VRBLMD3. Aside from the Multi Screen it also brings and comes-up with a lot more newer features and enhancements. Many Galaxy S3 users have been receiving this update earlier today, and it took around 129.1MB in size to download this VRBMD3 update. Some users gets updating failure issues due to the fact that their device has root before but there are few folks who also successfully installed the update even if they got a rooted Galaxy S3 i535.

I just tried to take the OTA with CWM and it worked for me - here's what I did:
(not sure if this step was really necessary) Install project voodo's OTA Root Keeper, backup root, remove root

Accept the OTA when promoted, phone reboots into CWM recovery, select Yes to install unverified update
Let CWM apply the update, takes ~5minutes or so, it finishes with no errors, select 'Reboot Phone'
CWM prompts that the rom update may install default recovery and prompts to disable, select 'Yes' to keep CWM
Phone reboots, 'Upgrading Android, updating app M of N..." appears after boot for a few minutes
About Phone shows new MD3 baseband version and build number
I did just get an error about the update being unsuccessful, but everything appears as though it were successful
Press/hold back key to get multi-window tray works fine, etc...
Launch OTA Root Keeper and restore root...

But there is one guy isn't lucky enough and ended up into soft-bricks;

i think i might of bricked my phone... i am rooted and stock, was able to download the update but when phone went to reboot, comes up with yellow triangle and mess "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. please turn off and go to nearest store." anyone know what i can do?????

So, just be careful updating if you have gone root your phone previously. More about this stories from XDA-developers forum.

T-Mobile statement,

We know customers are really looking forward to getting their new Samsung Galaxy S 4 soon.

Instead, online availability is expected to begin on Monday, April 29. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working with Samsung to deliver the device to T-Mobile customers as soon as possible.

Sprint,

Sprint is excited to launch the new Samsung Galaxy 4. We had planned to launch this next generation of the award-winning Samsung Galaxy line-up on Saturday, April 27. Unfortunately, due to unexpected inventory challenges from Samsung, we will be slightly delayed with our full product launch. Sprint is one of Samsung’s largest partners and we are working closely with them to launch in all Sprint channels as soon as possible. We expect to make Galaxy S 4 available at www.sprint.com and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) as planned on Saturday with Sprint retail stores and other channels receiving devices as inventory becomes available.

According from Samsung, the delay was due to Samsung Galaxy S4 global demand and resulted to the  supply shortage.
