You will loose root but easy to fix
Sideloading is already build in the new update so don't need any mod
Hotpot will break but is easy to fix

Thank you. I updated and all is good. I need to root so I can use hotspot. Is there more than one method to root? What should I use?

Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

In the sticky of the general section:
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. Typically, accepting an OTA will make you lose root. Some upgrading to JI6 state they didn't lose root, I did (using the JI6 method above), but gaining root back is so easy.

Since I have ji6 un rooted can I still use the same root method

However do be aware that all lagfixes are turned off if you install an OTA update. LagFix has been known to bork phones when OTAs are installed.
Has anyone found a way to root a thunderbolt with version 1.70.605.0?
I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.

Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?
Hi I have rooted and unlocked my bl, running alien4 with faux123. how do I get back to where I can install OTA updates? I also need webtop to work as I have a lapdock. any help would be appreciated thanks.

Hey guys I just received a notification about this update and I'm wondering if I can update if I'm rooted?
Would my root stay?
And can you root release 2?
Also what's the update about and is it worth updating?
A lot of questions I know..... but I would like to know because I've managed to brick my device once before.

It looks like OTA rootkeeper only works if the update does not overwrite or format the partitions. Does anyone know if 4.1.1 (release 2) overwrites or formats the partitions? Let us know if you know or if you have preserved root with OTA rootkeeper.
I want to update for the clock fix, but I am not willing to lose root.

I have seen a couple of reports of people losing root after this update. It seems like the rooting methods have been blocked on this release. So I urge everyone, if you want root DO NOT UPDATE at this time. It does not look like 4.1.1 release 2 is currently rootable, I think we will need a new root method for this firmware release.
UPDATE: 2 people have confirmed release 2 is rootable with moto chopper, another is testing AIO. So it seems like I was wrong and it is OK to update to 4.1.1 release 2. You will need to reroot after the update, but it should be fairly straight forward.
UPDATE 2: I have just updated and rerooted with AIO.
-Dillenger
I will research but could someone tell the benefits of rooting.

Just use motochopper, connect your xperia tablet s after updating the release 2 firmware and you should get the root back in 2 mins.
