When the exploit stops, go to your phone and go to Developer options and click on Select Debug app and choose the test2app then enable "wait for debugger"

My guess is if Wicked is rooted, even after the update you'll get rooted again if it goes away. I'm relatively confident his is up to date.

Congrats @xratablancax! I hope you can keep root with the OTA. Keep us posted!

 

[xratablancax]

Yes! Verizon OTA upgrade completed and root still in place. Thanks Wicked for your support!
