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!

I've avoided getting the new update because I didn't know if it would interfere with my phone being rooted, or brick it or something. Is it safe?

if you do that OTA update if I'm not mistaken it will un-root your phone..

Yup, you have to flash a version of the update with root permissions and extras allowed. There's a few in the dev section I believe.
For the love of good what am I doing wrong? Odin says pass but root checker says not rooted. I'm using CF-autoroot and I believe the latest version.

Have you rebooted? I had that problem before. SU said no root. Rebooted and then it said I had root.

Yup. Once again I'm sph-l720 4.4.2. I'm really just wanting to root to delete bloat ware.
There should be no problem. Have you tried to install Super SU from the play store. This sometimes fixes the problem . after installing reboot and check again.

Thanks. Installing with PC Suite went perfectly well
Hey. So I've got a newly rooted S5 here (Exynos version). And I was wondering now that OTA updates won't function (rooted), how to get those updates ? And the consequences, Do I lose root after updating ? Can it harm the phone or anythn ?
Thanks in Advance
You've to go back to Stock firmware..
Then you'll able to receive OTA updates..

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.

Updated to ART Compiler

I updated it last night. When it was finished updating I noticed it was optimizing apps after it restarted. I got excited and thought "Lollipop" for a second but it appears they simply changed compilers ( JIT to ART ). This is still a welcome change as the ART compiler is known to be faster and more efficient for a lot of apps. A lot of apps did install again after the update but everything was seamless, no loss of data as far as I know. Also the Android Version is still 4.4.3.
4.4.3? Shouldn't it be 4.4.2?

I installed via odin from sammobile. Cf-autoroot works. Need to install superuser by chainfire separately. Works great.
Mine OTA update fails to install at 24%. I'm rooted with stock ROM and recovery. I even unrooted and tried it again, and the same thing happens. SamMobile doesn't have any firmware (of any version) for this tablet (SM-P600) for the USA??? Seriously?

They do. The region you're looking for is Cellular South (XAR)

Thank you! I couldn't remember what the region code was. I guess I could've just looked at the current firmware to figure it out, though... Doh!
And "Cellular South" is the USA region code (expecially for a WiFi tablet) because...? Haha

Im assuming you installed cellular south latest from sammobile. flash cf autoroot and let it do its thing. After reboot, goto playstore and download/install superuser chainfire. it asks you to disable knox,etc. Reboot and use rootchecker. I am stock rooted without custom recovery.
