Help Do U know how to update from 4.0 to 4.1.2 on C811?

[CasioGZ]

I have a Casio Commando GzOne c811 that formerly took an Android system update from 4.0.1 to 4.1.2 when on Verizon's network, but I had to do a factory reset before moving to another carrier.

Now when I try to do a system update, it says it is updated, but it's still just the heart-bleed vulnerable 4.0 android.

The carrier said to call the manufacturer, which I did. Casio said they don't make phones at all now, and Casio said to go forum website to find the answer. I've searched everywhere and I don't see anything specific to the C811,maybe something about rooting, but that's scary.

Anyone know how do you upgrade a Casio c811 Gz'one from 4.0 to the 4.1.2 via a corporate website instead of just from 'the wild west' websites?
or is it no longer possible, or maybe possible, but I'd have to find a very safe source...so far I see stuff about installing a root kit on a c711, but i always thought if you had a 'root kit' on your device of any kind, it mean you've gotten hacked/owned?

The idea of rooting the phone is tempting, but scary as because if it bricks i'm totally screwed/have no money for another phone, so safest options appreciated...or honest answers to how risky all choices are?

As far as rooting, it gives you total ownership of your phones system. A good explanation can be found here

Instead of trying to upgrade, I would root your device and install the custom recovery. That way you can install the 4.1.2 OS from a system.img, rather than trying to update.
