Re: [Automated] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.3 (Updated 08/18/12)
dreamxcape on 10-17-'12 posted:<<Hi, hope somebody can help me.
I've got a rooted GNexus (using Wug's toolkit). ROM is vanilla android 4.1.1. I've got the OTA update notification for 4.1.2. If I go ahead with installing this update:
1) Will I lose root?
2) Will i lose any apps (will it wipe the system)? >>
If you are unlocked, rooted and enjoying the freedom and goodness of the custom rom world, why in the world would you want to get the OTA?? There isn't that much in 4.1.2 that is worth it. JBS 2.5 is already 4.1.1 r6 which has nearly everything that's in 4.1.2. Just flash it. Besides, the devs (even the vanillas, most likely) will shortly incorporate 4.1.2.
But to your question. Yes, the OTA will lose your root. You will lose (or at least they won't work) any apps or parts thereof that require root until you root again. Your apps from google play store are easily restored but if you want their data too, you need something like TiBu or My Backup Pro before you go back to stock and take the OTA.
But once again, I ask Why? Why? Why?
