I just received the update. My phone is not rooted. Simply pull the update from the server (Settings -> About Phone -> Software update)

LOL! You said package! - Either way I agree. :icon_ devil:

I pulled it with no problem, but now I have lost root and unlocked bootloader. Voodoo root keeper did NOT help.

Anyone found a good/fast way to re-root and unlock?

Can anyone confirm if FoxFi is still working after the update. I keep worrying that Verizon is going to sneak that disability into an update and ruin all my fun.

 

[mike0164]

FoxFi seems to work just fine. FWIW, I only have the free version, as I do not use it a lot (only in cases of emergency with my tablet).

On the update page it says it provides easier nfc access (easier to toggle on) I can't find this easier access anywhere. Anyone know?

I'm a Verizon baby and just got my update! Yipee! Now to figure out how to use the new updates!

After looking more closely, it looks like "Voodoo" actually DID restore root after this update (just so you all know). Now if I could only unlock the bootloader again...

Are you all sure this is the same update as in the OP? They did release an upgrade a few weeks ago that some didn't get unless they pulled it manually.

EDIT: NM I'm downloading it now ..

FoxFi is working for me after update, and Voodoo was able to keep root. However, the talkback icon loads in the notification bar upon every boot, even though I have the service disabled. Kind of annoying.

You did not have to unroot, I am also rooted and unlocked, here is the Deodex "bloatfree" version, enjoy, I also have posted a link to the separate modem.
