Post by: radiocycle on November 13, 2012, 08:33:02 PM: When will I ever learn?? It came to me just a bit ago while I was busy playing Subway Surfers and in my haste I told it to download now. Well, just like when 4.1.2 came along, it tried to update and just hung on Andy with a red exclamation point... Now, I'm sure I have to go through some gyrations to get 4.2. I just hope I don't hve to wipe out all of my game progress like what happened last time!! I should have just said, 'later' and I could have researched how I could be ready for the update.

I'll be searching the forums to find out how to update once the OTA fails....

Post by: radiocycle on November 14, 2012, 08:37:43 PM: Jay, how do you get the update to come again? I remember there was a way to have it try to update again, when the 4.1.2 was new, and I've searched but can't find it...

Post by: radiocycle on November 15, 2012, 01:03:17 PM: Great! OK, now I can cause the update to appear again, but still same result; big red triangle. Do I have to un-root or lock it back up to have it accept the update??

If you are rooted, it would be much easier to do it manually. Protect root, download the update from the server and flash in recovery.

Post by: bjs229 on November 15, 2012, 01:35:26 PM: I think Loocid is giving you good advice. That is what I did as well. USE OTA Rootkeeper to make sure your SU is backed up. I didn't even have to temporarily unroot. I just made sure there was a backup with OTA.

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Post by: bjs229 on November 16, 2012, 01:19:45 PM: I don't know how this happened but when I try and boot into recovery I'm getting the red android. I was fine after the update. WTF?
Title: Re: 4.2 OS
Post by: S.Prime on November 16, 2012, 01:27:00 PM: I did as well, so I just installed the custom recovery again and all was well.
Title: Re: 4.2 OS
Post by: bjs229 on November 16, 2012, 01:41:11 PM: Weird.
Title: Re: 4.2 OS
Post by: CBers on November 16, 2012, 01:46:39 PM: I think I had to do that following 4.1.2.

Post by: loociddreemr on November 16, 2012, 02:08:55 PM: What did you use to flash the update...TWRP or CWM?

Title: Re: 4.2 OS
Post by: S.Prime on November 16, 2012, 02:55:11 PM: I used CWM touch and missed the options to retain root and recovery.

Title: Re: 4.2 OS
Post by: loociddreemr on November 16, 2012, 06:35:14 PM: Missed the options? Did you select no? Did anyone who used TWRP for the update retain custom recovery after a reboot?

Post by: S.Prime on November 16, 2012, 09:02:30 PM: Actually, with CWM Touch, there were two options after installing the update zip, being the wizard of technology (aka dumb ass), I failed to select yes to retain root and make custom recovery permanent, so I had to restore root with Rootkeeper and install the custom recovery again.
