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.

Most update cause users to lose root. Best to use ota rootkeeper if you wanna update

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.

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.

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

Yes you can OTA update, yes you will loose root but you shouldn't have any issues. You will be able to re-root in a matter of seconds using CF root or the toolkit.
Once more your OTA update may fail during install on a rooted rom .
Multiple posts report update failed .

If it fails ota you should have no issues with kies. I have had to do this for 2 of the 3 ota updates I have received so far. This will also lose root though.

I received an ota today, possibly jellybean I am running rooted stock firmware, with unlocked bootloader thanks to fresher
My question is does anyone know where the ota would download to in the filesystem since I am rooted I get an
Error code when I try to update firmware. I would be more then happy to upload the update as well.

Im asking if there's any fool proof ways to root this configuration because i just bought the phone and dont wont to brick it like my s3 hard bricked. Any help or comments appreciated, thinking about just updating to 4.3 and waiting for a root method with that.

Don't update. You'll lose your ability to have a real custom recovery. Just stay on MDK and root. Then you can go ahead and flash a 4.3 ROM.

Should i factory reset and root before activating the phone with verizon?
I personally would just root, install custom recovery then wipe. After that pick a rom as most have ota updates disabled. Or install titanium backup pro and freeze the update apk's (I forget the file names)

Ok, is it safe to activate and root as long as i stop the OTA update?or just root and then activate? thanks for the replies by the way
Either way you do it just do not take the ota. I always root first and install custom recovery
