This OTA update isn't even 4.1.2. It just patches a security exploit (I recommend using this: Instant fix app for Exynos Mem Abuse vulnerability, no root required, reversible | Project Voodoo if you haven't covered this hole up already.) and it essentially blocks us out of screwing with our phones.

If you have already downloaded the OTA, there seemed to be a lot of useful information in the XDA thread. I haven't done much research on re-rooting post OTA yet.
