[Q] Why no 4.1.2? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I havent recieved the update for 4.1.2
Could this be because I'm in the UK?
Or is it because I'm Rooted?
EVERYTHING is stock, but I used the ToolKit to Root, is this why I can't get the 4.1.2?
Thanks !

I don't have it yet. I live in Texas. Still patient though.

Did you use a one-click tool kit to root your device?
I did and im wondering if its that.

From what I read in the 4.1.2 thread, it's rolled out gradually. Could be anywhere from now to next two weeks. Even Sky boxes in the UK get updated the same way if you own one of those

There is some ‘whys‘ and solution on this link

Used that method, be sure to thank the legend !
Any new features to discuss ? Or is there a discussion thread already?

Does anybody know if Google has set routine, regarding the order regions receive OTA updates?, had a look but cannot find anything concrete.

Ota updates

Hi, I've just finished charging my new p6810 and it has informed me there is a firmware update available.
My question is, if I update (to ics, I assume?), could this cause me any difficulties if I later decide to unlock boot loader, root etc?
I have had a search but can't find anything conclusive, so I'm either blind our guessing it's not an issue. However, I'd appreciate confirmation.
I live in Australia, don't know if this has any relevance to update.
Cheers guys!

Well I know this update is not ics, it's only 0.07mb big. I will have a search to see what it does.

Just download latest ROM and flash it with Odin. Root is also easy to apply later.
The tab is just so much better with ICS don't waste time using HC.

Should the above firmware/rom work on an Australian P6810?

Nothing can be done yet until someone figures out bootloader to be able to flash custom roms unless ur phone has not updated to the newest version of firmware, b3st thing to do is search in the forums for yhe right thread for ur phone

N7105 4.3 upgrade UK users

Has anyone updated to 4.3 official using any of the roms from sammobile? I see the nordic countries 4.3 is available, I normally use either this, the German or Swedish version, I've even used a Hong Kong one before now lol, but with the recent changes Sammy have made regarding knox and location lock etc, I'm a bit dubious to upgrade.
They normally just work, just checking this is still the case before I end up with an expensive paperweight.
There is a thread somewhere by chainfire with a fix to sammys region lock. The lion rom is pretty much stock with nox removed, you just have to use devil's kernel for wifi

I have flashed mine to the nordic contries im in uk and everything works great yes it has knox but I have had no problem rooting or installing custom roms. Im on the new skynote 4.3 note 3 edition and its the best rom I have used so far

Cheers mate. I flashed it the other day haven't got around to posting an update yet.
Yes it has knox, but I'm not going to be rooting this device because I use it for sky and a few other apps that require unrooted.
Impressions are good so far. Everything is smooth and all my apps are working as they were before, including the sky sports app which got an update recently to work with 4.3.
One thing to note though, if you use allshare cast dongle. It has a problem working with 4.3 devices that have been updated. So if you run into this issue the fix is to do a factory reset.
There is a workaround for rooted devices on here, it's in the S4 section.
A bit of a pain having to reset I know but seems to be the only solution for unrooted devices that run into it.

Hi mate
I'm also using the sky go app, and on stock 4.1 I've just been using ota rootkeeper to toggle root when needed. I really need root for the viper audio mod.
I'm just wondering which 4.3 ROM you've got it to work on? With 4.1.2 it NEEDS to be stock ROM and kernel for sky go to work. If I upgrade I want to get a ROM without knox, but any custom ROM won't work.
Please let me know as right I'm sticking to 4.1.2.
Thanks

There weren't any custom rom's available for the 7105 that were stock with knox/location lock removed when I last checked (may be different now?). I just used the nordic rom from sammobile.
If there's none available I think you'll need to wait for a dev to rip the rom and remove knox if you don't want it. Unless you have the time and skills to diy I got the skills but not the time, unfortunately
As I said, I'm not bothered about knox at the moment. I was more bothered by location lock, but I've not had any issue so far.

Why not just flash the bootloader from DN3 it works with all the official roms and is knox free?

Yeah I will probably do that at some point.
I'm assuming I can restore my nandroid backup to 4.1.2 if I'm not happy?
The xposed mod unfortunately didn't work... Thanks anyway
Some apps are funny as to what they decide is a security risk. Sky are so far up Apple's arse they tend to look for anything that's NOT as the manufacturer released as a security issue. It's actually bollocks but try telling them that.
My other Note 2 is rooted and running 4.3 without all the bs. But most of the apps I need simply won't install/run due to idiotic requirements of the app provider. Hence why I have a 2nd note 2 which has been rooted but I had to unroot and reset the flash counter to get these apps to work. Guess Sammy aren't too fussed, they did get 2 sales from me lol

Hello, I was wondering whether someone could answer this for me...

When the 4G update for three users becomes available in my area in the UK, will it be a problem receiving this update because my S4 is rooted?
P.s I apologise in advance if this question is in the wrong area of the forum. Tbh honest I'm still fairly new to xda.
Thanks
