Root Can't Flash 4.2

[CYNICALifornia]

Kernels are very specific for the version of android you are on. I'm not surprised it didn't work.

Just have to wait for the update

In know. This is the part of the show where I wait patiently for the wonderful devs to do their labor of love.

Now, on the topic of TWRP backups and 4.2... where are they?

I backed up after flashing 4.2 and rooting successfuly. Even restored from the backup. But I can't find the backup it's self in esfile manager or from my PC. I've enabled hidden files to be shown and checked ALL the sd files, (sdcard, /0/, and legacy). The only time I can see the file is if I use TWPR's file navigator.

Sounds like my experience...

I came to the conclusion that rooting 4.2 with Wugs might be broken.

Yup. Same here. Nandroid backups with Wugs came up just empty files.
4.2 craps the sdcard partitions and TWRP can't find the backups. You have to manually place them. If they took at all and aren't just empty files. I'm running Scotts Stock Rooted partially deodexed 4.2 with the kernel that came with it. Spent today trying to get all my stuff back that flashing another kernel broke and trying by trial and error to see which apps are brokenj by 4.2. Devs are scrambling to get their apps compatible and doing a pretty good job.
Known that Franco so far doesn't work with 4.2 but it shouldn't long before loads of kernels and roms start falling out of the closet.

Right. I had to move them using TWRP(only place they show up) but they needed to be in SDcard/ TWRP/ backups before the TWRP restore function could see them.

This is why I freeze bloatware with Titanium as opposed to deleting them .

I freeze, backup, then delete, but keep the backups.

And that works without any issues?

As long as you restore the backups before taking the OTA.

Its really no different than freezing.
