Update to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean?

Hey guys! I recently got my Nexus 7, which I just un-locked the bootloader, and rooted it using mskip's toolkit. Now it's asking to update to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.... Is it safe to up date without loosing my root and re-locking the bootloader or am I stuck with my current android jelly bean?

The permissions on the su binary may be affected but the bootloader won't be locked. You can always root the device again.

use otarootkeeper app and you will be fine

Excellent! Upgraded and it didn't lock my boot-loader. Neither did I lose my root:good:. The recovery mod mentioned the su binary but it fixed it no problem. Quick question tho, how do I check to see if I still have my root? I checked using my Sixaxis app to see if it still worked and it did. ^_^

The easiest way, IMO, is to try to use su in a terminal emulator.

Bootloader and Recovery

Are there any bootloaders/recoveries other than the stock ones?

There is a CWM it is included in VanilaLVL CM7.

So you install vanillaLVL with stock recovery?

No, at first you have to root your phone. Look at this links:

Is there a way to install TWRP on a Kindle Fire HD 8 6th gen?

Hello. I have a Kindle Fire 6th gen that is rooted using the mtk-su exploit. Is there a way to install a custom recovery like TWRP? SuperSU is installed and my FireOS version is at 5.3.6.4. If this isn't possible, is there another way I can make backups?

There's no way to install TWRP, unless someone ports the bootloader unlock to it.
You can make backups using flashfire or dd. Look at this thread for more info:

There's root so you can use flashfire. The problem is that there's no Custom Roms. You can compile one with a "hack" that ggow used in CM12.1 for use stock boot.img for ford but it's not easy and it will be very difficult

may you explain to me this "hack"?
