It looks like the only changes are to the software number, the kernel version, the build number and the PRL version.

Can this be rooted using the methods that worked with the previously pulled update or by a different method that already exits, or do we have to wait for someone to crack open this update?
Also, for the record...I have not had any issues so far with this update.

Question: For us folks already rooted, how do I get out of this loop from their forced update? I was sleeping from last nights shift and wake up to my phone stuck in this loop. Yay!!

No worries I fixed it. Still torqued they did a ninja attack on my phone while I was sleeping.

I am new here and new to rooting... I have Verizon Thunderbolt that is rooted with Revolutionary (about 4 weeks ago). It appears to be stuck in boot loop (phone boots for a minute and the reboots) and appears to try to install some VZW OTA firmware upgrade and fails... How did you get your phone out of the loop you were in? I am really stuck. Thanks.

*** Update -- I found a fix that worked for me here ->
How to Get Rid of OTA Forced Reboots on Rooted Phone

The first option did the trick. Hope this helps someone else.

Why stop at root? Flash some ROM goodness and bail the stock rom action...
