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.

One Click Lag Fix = OCLF

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!

agreed; with the new update there is no going back, and there is a neutered/safe alternative version in the android development section of MF3.

Is this for MF3? Don't want to brick my phone. I need to be back to stock without root so I can update my phone. Keeps saying software update interrupted.

Those instructions are fine, but the firmware package is the wrong one. Look in the general section for the MF3 tar files, the thread is like "mf3 update files important to the community"

Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

Only if you're flashing csc_oxm through Odin. If you wish to keep your data, flash the home _csc one instead.
