Sorry for the wrong file I have removed the link and will replace it with the correct one when I have a chance.

It worked after I restored the OEM build.prop file. I'm now up and running on 4.1.2 & build JZ054K!

FWIW,  Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper didn't stop the flash.  All apps are still available. After the upgrade, I did have to re enable root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.

Didn't think I had a copy of my build.prop but I did.

It must have been backed up by ROM TOOLBOX LITE when I enabled the rotation after root.

So, I backed up current, restored old and the flash worked first time this time.

Now running JB 4.1.2.  ;D



I also had to re-enable root after update.

Congrats, CBers.  I saw your request, but was in the middle of washing dishes. I tried to save an unmodified copy of the build.prop file before the flash, but both tries left me with a file bearing today's date (v.  the OEM 7/17/12 date) . IDK if that would pass the test, so it's probably good you found your bak file.

Is this update automatically installed and activated, or is there something I need to do ??
According to the eetimes article, you will be prompted to OK the upgrade.

The upgrade adds camera functionality, radio!

Thanks birdastrompgman.

Nice to know this was possible :)

Also, the emoticons in the TAPATALK app for this forum work now as well.

Not sure that is JB 4.1.2, but who knows 8)

If you're non-rooted, probably in the next 24-72 hours.

@birdastrompgman - can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode since update.

I believe we need to renamed the \system\recovery-from-boot.p file.

Any ideas how to do that?

I am a little cloudy on what to do. I am rooted and changed my prop file to fix Landscape. I have not received an ota update message but would like to update when it is pushed. Is there anything I need to do or change at this point to get the update?

Looks like I had to re-install TWRP again.

Recovery mode now accessible again. 8)

UPDATE: I'll have to take that back, can't access RECOVERY again.

Wasn't this a problem before the update as well?

No, I that WAS OK.

All sorted now, and I re installed TWRP again, and booted into recovery and moved that file.

Can get I to TWRP recovery at will now.

CBers, i'm still unable to go into recovery since upgrading to 4.1.2.. I was using quick boot,  which apparently renamed the file. I just renamed the file, but it didn't work. I will reinstall the app & try again.
