Rooting stock 4.1.2

I know I can flash any custom ROM I want now or the rooted/odexed version of the 4.1.2 OTA, but just for a little while I'd like to keep the flash counter at zero.
I'm still on 4.1.1 because I just got my phone 2 days ago, and I flashed the non-tripping stock root odin package before I even turned my phone on. But now I see there's an update for 4.1.2 (that someone said has multiview???) and I was wondering if there's a way to get to 4.1.2 and root it without tripping the flash counter.
Ideas?

Exynos abuse exploit. Google search it after you take the update. Download it and run it.

I'm not questioning you (thanks by the way), but I thought the 4.1.2 update was specifically to fix that issue. Was that not for the Note II?

TRYING to install kies to see if that works, but it's giving me **** too.
Edit: It at least "tried" to update now but said update failed immediately upon the first restart... could my root be f-ing it up?

Anyone?

Get the update.zip file and copy to your cache directory .
Go into recovery mode (vol up +home+power) → flash from cache. and done ...It won't wipe your data... . .and you will get you multiview.
From your previous comment. ..don't worry about custom rom count. .it can be easily rest via triangleaway.

Use the exynos abuse apk to quickly root. Quick question, are you using stock recovery?

Did. Still gave me the error when flashing in recovery. Also the root is like not working completely. Some apps don't ask for permission and so I can't give it to them.
Edit: bought supersu pro and it worked nicely. (the root acess, flashing still doesn't work)

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Remove root.

Update

Okay my phone been saying I can update it now, which I still haven't done it yet one cos it really not a big file i noticed & two it seems everyone got some issue with it soft bricking the phones... My question is what did the update do? & anyone got the update w/o soft brick & is rooted?
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app

No clue. But if you haven't touched anything in the /system partition (I.e. removing the bloatware, installing 3rd party drivers from apps like viper4android, using xposed, etc etc) then the install should go just fine.

So how do we do this update? Go back to stock & root it but dont flash a custom recovery? This is so much work for that lil update.

Seeing as this is question #3648596925385925486526595 about the matter, just don't update. Its not that big of a deal. Its still 4.1.2 nuff said

Have you tried it and it worked? I tried it once before after I restored my phone from a soft brick caused by the update, then I ran freegee and it would show the screen where it says the bootloader was unlocked with the LG logo then jump to another screen with just the LG logo and just kept looping in that boot forcing me to do another restore. I don't know if something went wrong and that's why I didn't work

I bricked mine taking the update with a custom recovery.. I flashed back to stock. then took the update. then used Kingoroot to root it, then freeg to flash a custom recovery, so its possible to root the e980p update.. Im just happy I got my gpro back.. by far my fav phone to date... took half a day to figure out how to flash back to stock. but glad I did..

Root on 10p update
By reverting back to 10k update using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 and rooting with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660. I now have the 10p update with root. Definitely a longer process than other carrier phones I'm sure but definitely possible. After rooting 10k update I went straight into settings and updated without doing any modifications and root stuck. Just wanted to share so others in the same situation know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck!

is there a way to manually install the update?

How are any of you able to put your e980 into recovery mode? Mine ends up with the dead android with an exclamation mark over his open chest.

Rooting on 10p literally only took less than 2mins.
