Title: FORCED install of 4.1.2 with Rooted Nexus7
Post by: bjs229 on October 13, 2012, 05:50:26 PM: In a nutshell I deleted the last line of text that I had added to the
build. prop for rotation. Saved and temporarily unrooted with OTA RootKeeper. I then went into Apps/ ALL and forced the update by opening Google Services Framework/ Force stop/ clear data/force stop. I then went to about device and update. The date should read Dec of 1969. Tap update once or twice and it should start the process. After updating I restored root with OTA ROOTKEEPER.
I hope this helps someone.

Once I had fixed my N7 with a clean install of the factory image I got a notification of the update and applied it on my non-rooted N7, I then used the NRT to root and install TWRP recovery. Once I did this I backed up with TWRP and and restored my original stock ROM of 4.1.1 and used the update zip to update to 4.1.2, now I forgot to user Voodoo and lost root so used NRT again to root and install TWRP recovery...
