Don't worry if you encountered something you dislike in 4.3. You can always revert back to 4.1.2. Just flash with the MG4 4.1.2 firmware. You can also revert to your previous fimware as long as you done your efs backup. :-)

The voltage on a PC usb port is not the same as a wall adapter. Why do you think some external hard drive have to be plugged into a wall outlet if you think it can get full power from the USB port?

I have forgotten more about the Galaxy S3 than you are ever likely to learn.
Read my post again!
Flashing v4.3 onto the phone rewrites the EFS folder into a format that v4.1.2 cannot read. The EFS folder is hidden from the user because it contains details like the IMEI number, modem, network settings etc. etc.
When I tried to reinstall v4.1.2 onto the phone the Firmware couldn't read the new format and therefore couldn't continue to do a full boot.
Flushing out the cache partition or doing a factory reset isn't going to make any difference because the phone still cannot read the EFS folder. The only alternative was to reflash the phone again with v4.3
You have obviously learned how to do a cache flush and a reset somewhere and think that makes you an expert because you are telling anyone with a problem to do that; it doesn't!

No, it won't come with Android v4.3 because that Firmware is a recent release, and any Galaxy S3 you will find in a store will still have older Firmware on it.
The problem with Android v4.3 is that the EFS folder is written in a format that older versions cannot read; so if you do upgrade then you are stuck with it and there is no way back as I found out when I tried to reflash my phone with v4.1.2 - it just went into an eternal 'bootloop'.
