[Q] Why no 4.1.2?

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.

Verizon GALAXY Tab2 7.0 Root

How do you root the Verizon GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 running JB 4.1.2? Just picked up my device today and it auto updated while I was gone from the home..
Look at the root/bootloader/recovery thread in the Development. Quick search goes a long way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=verizon%20galaxy%20tab%202%20root
How do I get rid of this Custom icon with an unlock icon that shows up when my device boots? On my S3 I just had to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it. How do I do that on the Tab?
Did you follow all the steps in the root/BOOTLOADER/recovery thread?

All I wanted to do was root the device so I did not do any of the unlocking stuff. Do I need to unlock like I had to on my S3 to get rid of the custom unlock icon on boot?

Hey Mr. Hyde
I found your thread here on rooting the VZW tab 2 7.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
And was wondering if it works for the VZW tab 2 10.1, SCH-i915
I've been scouring this site for months now and still have yet to find a working root. Thanks!
This is a system image from the i705. It MIGHT be compatible with the 915, but I can't say nor do I recommend it unless you get have a stock odin image to flash back to.

Ahh ok thanks! I'm looking for a link on how to make my own stock rom from my i915 because I haven't been able to find any stock roms for it on the forums so far. Just gotta figure out how to do that haha.
Is there a stock image for the I705?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Only the stock rooted version. No leaked Odin firmware unfortunately.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
So if anything happens I can always Odin the stock rooted version right?

If anything happens to your ROM, yes.

Thanks for all the help I apriciate it.

I just hope it can still get OTA updates. Nut then we would need another custom kernel wouldn't we? OTA rootkeeper would keep the root.
Another custom kernel for ota? Nah, Just wait for one of us to rape the ota and make it safe for custom users then wait for updated builds.

Updates while rooted on Tab 10.1

I searched but didnt see the question ever answered.
If you are rooted are you not able to get the firmware updates on the Tab 10.1?
It will most likely un root your tab. Most roms are updated when there is a new release.

So if I get ota update on rooted stock JB 4.1.1, root will no be there after update?
Correct
