You have to be temporary unrooted when applying the update. If you dont you'll lose root.

That's what I thought, but this is from the OP:

"Open OTA Rootkeeper.

Choose ' Backup Root '

Choose ' Temp Unroot '

Choose ' Restore Root '

Choose ' Temp Unroot '

Choose 'Restore Root' (Yes, we did that twice. And no, you do not want to be Temp. Unrooted when you update.)

Disregard...thanks for clearing it up Matt while I was typing up my post ;-)

For those with root questions, matt says to NOT temp unroot. I believe he confirmed this. My understanding anyway. I can't test for sure because my folks have slow dsl so no downloading the update for me :(

With regard to WebTop/Mirror on display:
It seems like I read before that DRU 1.81 would be better to use because it still had the original partition /WebTop format. Any thoughts?

FYI when I got the JellyBean update on my Maxx HD they BLOCKED USB Tethering. You have to have a HotSpot account now. Don't know if it will be the same for you guys.

SQL Lite should work.
