Upgrading to 4.1.2 and keeping root worked for me as well but has been causing me issues with 4G data connection. When I first upgraded and kept root my phone would only pick up 3G. I went to Verizon and had give me a new SIM card which fixed my issue and brought my 4G back but now I have the issue where I lose 4G during phone calls. This issue did not occur before 4.1.1.

Didn't work for me, went to click restore root and it there wasn't any backup but I know there was cause I created the backup just before restoring the stock recovery. :( Now I have no root and it won't let me downgrade.

did you forget to do the temp unroot before taking the update? that the common mistake most are making.

I am running 4.1.1 on my rooted DROID RAZR MAXX HD and want to take the 4.1.2 OTA update.

I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper Temp Un-Root which successfully makes my device unrooted. However, once I reboot, the phone is rooted again. I thought Voodoo would turn off root until I explicitly go back and Restore Root.

Am I wrong? Is Voodoo supposed to turn off root only until the phone restarts? If so, can I use Voodoo to temporarily un-root, and then immediately install the OTA 4.1.2 update without restarting my phone?

Or, is something wrong with my Voodoo installation since the temp un-root does not survive a restart?
