It breaks unlock and root but if you are already unlocked you can restore root. On the HD side they are working on possibly getting root back for locked folks but unlock is still and will probably always be a no-go

You use motochopper to restore root again or just twrp where it asks if you want to fix root and just swipe? Just trying to figure it out because looks like there might be some improvements I'm interested in.
I believe TWRP does it with the swipe.

One of my family members installed the update on my phone, I lost root, but it is still unlock. can you point me in the direction you are referring to so I can get root back. Thanks

Yes - well, you should have a backup of your stock in your recovery hopefully that you made shortly after unlocking your bootloader.

That's one of the improvements I'm looking to get. Hopefully its more stable also.

I got the update for my wifes M and it didnt install the new radio I fxz'd back to 66 and then rerooted took the update and restored root with voodoo no problem. I think even if you take the update there is no security keeping you from reverting to the previous build which can be unlocked. I don't know what the difference between the two updates are but the first time I updated I got the .3 the second time I got the .78.

If you've already taken the update, it patched the "loophole." From what I've read, going back doesn't have the capability to reopen the "loophole."

.
Just an after thought. Would installing the update even be worth doing? I run a deodexed ROM as my DD so if its updated with my stock ROM will the deodexed ROM be updated also?

<p>My wife accidently took the update on her M. It was rooted and the bootloader unlocked but still running the stock rom. I realized what she had done as the phone was doing all sorts of crazy stuff and when I tried to check it out I was no longer getting any root access. It took a few attempts but finally I was able to boot into TWRP via power\volume buttons and reflashed superuser. Didnt wipe or anything. That restored root and now she is getting 4G in the mountains of NorCal where we had trouble getting service at all before. So from what I can see if your unlocked then take the update and root is easy to get back if you just put a little effort into it</p>
