I haven't seen anybody mention this, so ignore me if this is common knowledge. I was on my stock 4.2 rooted ROM with CWM recovery and I got the 4.2.1 system update. Attempted it with CWM... And it worked. But not only did it work, after I choose reboot phone, CWM warned me that the ROM I just installed might try to flash stock recovery, and asked if I'd like to fix it. It then warned that I might lose root, again asking if I'd like to fix it. So now I'm on 4.2.1. Through system update. Kept CWM and root. Awesome!

So far I've had no luck in rooting the Cam2, I'm missing xPosed and Gravity Box. There are some minor hardware differences between the two cameras and the Cam2 is on JB 4.3. Failing root on the Cam2, one might be able to pull the apk from rom.
Oh yeah we would still need the newer bootloader. It's annoying that Samsung have just forgot about us.

It hasn't been rooted yet. Most of the root methods don't work on the Galaxy Camera 2. I'm going to make a request of Chainfire to see if cf-autoroot is possible, assuming I extracted the recovery.img correctly.
I've been able to pull some of the camera app files from my Cam2, not sure I've got all of them. The manifest does have some permissions that don't exist on the original camera.
Has anyone seen a download for the surround shot addon for the gs5? It's available on Samsung apps and for 4.2+ but only for the gs5:crying:

Thanks, just got it today. Its a nice camera!
It's a really good camera. I wanted to get the original Galaxy Camera about a year ago, but for a few reasons didn't. I really don't understand why they didn't include(or offer as an add-on) the surround shot, I have it on my Note3 and I've had that for almost 6 months.
So how is the new root working for you? Were you on the most current fw when you rooted?
Also, do you know of the camera is Knox?
Did you lose data after rooting?

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.
The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.
All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
Here's the link that I first posted in the other thread:
