    Welcome to Crackberry!
    The reason it is saying you have the latest OS is because it is still on your computer. You have to uninstall the 4.2 after backing up your device and then your DM will recognize the later OS.

    Personally I use CrackMem to upgrade as it allows you to pick which OS to install, deletes the vendor file and other things that you may not want. Check it out, it is linked in my sig along with proper upgrade procedures.
