Root VzW OTA & re-Rooting

[gadzooks]

Have VzW OTA pending, am rooted (only) using z4root, and anticipate that if OTA is applied, it may be a while before I'm able to root again.

Agree, disagree, ... ?

TiBu freezing, priceless.

I unrooted before updating, then was not able to re-root with z4root.

Thanks very much for sharing your experience.

For now, I'll stay put. Took a look at xda couple days ago and didn't easily find anything related to this update. I'll keep checking.

I was rooted using z4root and mistakenly accepted the vzw OTA and lost root.

SU is still there, but z4root1.3.0 cannot get root back.

I've tried a factory reset, but that didn't work.

Looks like i'm stuck til an update to z4root comes out.

v1.3.1 does not work either.

For some reason I was able to update and was able to reroot with z4root.

Superoneclick will re-root the device after the VZW update

I can also confirm this, I was rooted with z4root, then had to re-root with superoneclick after the update.

Had not heard of Superoneclick. Googled and found lots of threads to pull on. Thanks very much!

MH, interesting ...

It is interesting, I am wondering now why I was able to re-root with z4root. Oh well, I am glad it works.

I had to take the long route after accepting the OTA (was rooted with z4root) and the update just wouldn't take, kept popping up 2-3 times per day. Eventually I had to:

1. Flash back to stock via Heimdall (instructions from: [Tutorial] How To Restore Verizon Galaxy Tab Back To Stock - xda-developers but used the files I downloaded from the first post here: Verizon stock ROTO files minus the Data partition - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum)

2. Installed the Update.zip (OTA update) from here: xda-developers - View Single Post - CDMA VZW Tab update

3. Re-Rooted with SuperOneClick following this tutorial: How to Root the Galaxy Tab with Super One Click | Galaxy Tabs

And Viola! rooted with the EC02 update. What a pain.
