[PSA] Quick Warning!!! Be Advised!

[KaChow]

If you are currently using the software known as Kies, there is a Software Update. A user over on XDA has taken this OTA and has LOST ROOT, in fact he had to take his device back to Best Buy to get it Restored. At this moment if you have Root and are considering taking this OTA it is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to sit this one out. There is not enough information available to describe what is contained in this OTA. It is one thing to loose Root, it is another to loose Root and try everything there is to restore it in a panic when there simply is not enough information available. Wait for the Developers to test it out and find out what this OTA is and if it is worth exploring and even if harmful threats can be extracted and flashed separately. :biggrin:

Another PSA, WARNING do not use Kingo to restore Root after taking the 2 OTA 's as it contains spyware.

I'm not in a hurry and I would much rather get the best parts of this OTA if that is at all possible, first. Especially, if Kingo is not so Safe-o.
