FYI T-Mobile Update Will Not Unroot Device

I just wanted to let everyone know that the T-mobile OTA update JI6 will not unroot the Samsung Vibrant. I was running the Stock Rom rooted and I uninstalled OCLF just prior to update.

Good to know, thanks.

Good to know. Thanks for this update. Good looking out.

If I update will I still be able to root after?

LMAO......

Not true in my case. I updated via Odin and it removed root. One Click root worked just fine though.

I can confirm this as well. Still rooted after update no octopus installed eithe via OTA!

There is no known way of rooting unless you flash the MF3 modem and use Voodoo Rootkeeper

You've to go back to Stock firmware..

I understand. But apart from the OTA updates on the phone, There is Kies. But I'm not sure about the consequences and all.

If you update via kies you will loose your root but im not sure kies will let you update with a rooted rom.
Never used kies cause its trash

Nope, I've done it once and lost nothing, was pretty quick and straight forward actually, even kept my current settings.

yes of course but once your phone is updated you will lose the root

Please do note that if you have performed some tweaks in /system, your OTA update may fail and cause problems. Oh, and make sure to make a nandroid, then flash the stock recovery and then perform the update. Can't go wrong when you got a nandroid.
