I just bought this tablet and have the latest ota. What is the easiest way to root?
TWRP or CF-Root

Does the 4.0.4 update unroot me or brick me? Anyone rooted test it yet?
I am currently running official 4.0.3
No clue. Not sure if anyone has attempted it. If you have CWM installed then you could do a nandroid backup, update, and see what happens. If you only lose root, then re-root. If you brick, restore backup. You could then restore to stock, update to 4.0.4 then re-root if you felt so inclined.
Or just install EOS nightlies and enjoy ICS a little more.

I am currently on stock rooted with stock recovery. Does the update just break the root if it goes through and is that it?

I have the ATT skyrocket rooted and unlocked when I first got the phone in 2011, and is on 4.04. I remember that the post said that I must unroot if I want to upgrade the rom OTA from ATT. Is there any other way to upgrade to the latest stockrom without unroot? I cannot find the post I originally referenced to root/unlock.

^^ what he said. Just get the .tar file from sammobile.com and flash using Odin. You will lose root after this process.
If you want to update using kies (the update is not ota. You have to use kies. ) then s long as kies detects your phone and you have a stock recovery, you should be OK.
However, I believe that you will loose your apps and data with both the methids.. So just use Odin

Thank you very much. I should be able to re-root after the upgrade, correct? Or the lastest 4.1.2 cannot be rooted yet?
I have problem with Odin before, never got anything done with it. Let me try it this time.

Yes you can root the new jb using the same procedure as before.

If your rooted why not just flash a stock rom with the newest update. That will save you the trouble of dealing with Odin.

Trouble? Odin is as simple as place file in pda and click start. I don't see any trouble there....

I meant it more of an hassle. Plug in Odin then uproot do the update then reroot. Just seems so much easier to flash a stock base rom.

Why would you unroot to do the update via Odin. I believe your logic is flawed here. Although I do agree an install would be expeditious via recovery, your argument is flawed.

Just FYI - I was on rooted stock, and just did the update with Kies without unrooting. Now i'm on JB unrooted as a result.
If i take this ota does it all me to re root

You cant take the ota if you are rooted. It will dl but wont install if you twrp or another recovery. You need to be 100% stock and yes the same root process works from what i can find.
Just incase that didn't make sense.
When your rooted the updates show up and if you click the update or start the update..... it will download and try to install but it fail and give an error because you are rooted. So to answer your question nothing will happen if you try an update. You won't loose root but you also won't get the update installed either.
In order to update during a root you need to do it all manually with files provided on here. OTA or stock updates wont take and will just fail.
Tripped KNOX, bye OTA and Samsung Pay.
If you are stock with Knox tripped, you can still take ota. You can't take the ota ifbubr rooted.

after rooting galaxy s6
i cant update my phone and give me error.
how i can fix it?
Unroot and go back to stock, once you root and install a custom recovery you can not update OTA.
