I had to return to stock and then change the date forward about 4 times before it would update.

I just unrooted and gave it another shot.. No luck. Before unrooting I got to 30%, now I get the error after the reboot.

I reverted completely back to stock, was able to install the update and have made a nandroid backup using TWRP. I've since been able to root and I'm restoring my apps (no data) using Titanium Backup.

Is the nandroid usable by developers? I'm no developer, so I honestly don't know how they make their awesome ROMs. Devs are welcome to PM me, I'll see if I can post the backup in my dropbox or something.

As a donator, do I have access to put uploads on goo.im? Anyone have any idea?

Those are nice scores for a stock kernel :) can't wait to get a gauge on the battery life. And, it seems petty, but I've missed the stock 4G LTE icon ;)

Ok guys, heres an update. was rooted on stock wasn't able to update. I was getting the not enough memory error. I then removed root from SU and i kept getting failed update error at around 30%. Finally downloaded stock recovery from MOD EDIT: PLEASE PROVIDE A NON REGISTRATION LINK/SITE and tried again with great success! I suggest this to anyone experiencing the same OTA update problems as i did. NOW have working multi view woot!:victory:

This is what I ended up doing. Thanks!

I have just completed the OTA upgrade. It appears to be a full 4.1.2 upgrade. Screenshot of system info:

    Ok, guys, go blow up my Mediafire account. update.zip. I used the /cache method and stock recovery, didn't wipe my phone but did break root; you are welcome to CWM it in Recovery, but it will wipe. Enjoy it while it lasts ;)

    Why would you be rooted and not already running multiview?

    Some people want root and don't want custom roms that break stuff. I used to be a rom flashing whore but now i just root and de-bloat the stock rom.

    Thanks! So that's the file that gets downloaded OTA? Can I just transfer that to my (stock, unrooted) phone somewhere and then proceed with the update as though I had gotten it OTA? (The update still isn't available to me OTA.) Sorry for the naive questions!

    I was able to update my phone with the file that plastikman187 posted. Here's what I did.

    0. Root phone with exynos exploit apk.
    1. Download the file onto your phone
    2. rename it from a .cfg to a .zip (not sure if this is necessary)
    3. Use some sort of root file explorer to copy the zip file into the /cache directory. (I used es file explorer with root privaledges).
    4. Boot phone into recovery mode by powering off and then holding (vol up + power + home)
    5. Choose the apply update via cache option and select the downloaded zip.
    6. Some terminal crap will spew out and eventually the phone will restart.
    7. Let it boot and soon you'll see the "android is upgrading"

    I can confirm that multiwindows works after forcing the update. The flash counter is not modified by rooting and applying the update.

    Good luck everyone and enjoy your multiwindows updates :). Also screw ATT for making me wait while my girlfriend brags about chatting and watching movies simultaneously.
