It's possible (and easy) to downgrade to the previous update, even with a non-rooted device.

I've just complete the downgrade on my non-rooted Galaxy S3 to the previous (MB1) version. It was easy to do and my phone is back to normal. I've never been one to mess around with rooting or otherwise modifying my phones and was a little intimidated, but everything went smooth as silk.

Follow the direction on this page

This is the download link for MB1

>Links deleted. First one takes readers to a site to root their device, links to this type of site are not allowed.

2nd link VZW does not support and should not be held liable by users who brick their phone and expect VZW to fix it. So it is deleted also<

My phone is unrooted, you are blatantly lying to people. The second link is the official update, put out by Verizon.

Lol. I wish VZW spent 1% of the effort it did on moderating, on actual solutions and fixes. I have had no 4G reception for the last one week (after accepting this upgrade). All VZW store did was replace the SIM, which did not fix the issue. Now, they say they will provide a refurb phone as replacement but cant guarantee that will fix the issue!

Most that have received the refurbished phone have said that it fixed the issue as it had the older version of firmware when they received the phone but as they say no guarantee with it. Good Luck with your refurbished phone we hope there are not other issues with it. I wonder why all this testing VZW does with the upgrades was or was not done cause this thing sounds bigger than just a handful of customers to me. I am one of the lucky ones with only issue with name caller ID thing which was really sneaky of VZW sending that out with the update but they did sort of give us a choice.
