Can you use the same root method with the new update?

Getting this thursday and I'm more than likely going to go straight to CleanROM but I know this just took an update this week. From everything I can see it looks like the same root and bootloader unlock methods will work but I just want to confirm it before diving into this.

Edit: just saw you can flash the radio/modem upgrade separately. Guess I can always activate, disable data, root and then flash the update.

If you use the root method with ODIN then yes because this will install a new OS on the device anyway and you will be okay. As far as the utilities I am not sure, might want to ask the dev.

Thanks. I was going to ask over at XDA but am worried about the onslaught of "JUST SEARCH" replies.

Haha fair enough. Check out Cyber's guide up top there, everything you need to get yourself rooted.

Found this video today. Verizon Galaxy S 3 One Click Root Debugfs Easy! No ODIN - YouTube Sounds like if you accepted the OTA the old method won't work??

Interesting. Don't see why ODIN won't work.

That method worked for me. No issues at all.

Are you sure you are not using the modified version I posted because it is the same root but updated for the latest OTA update? But the update is posted by another user than Debugfs..

Flash Scott's rooted stock build of VRALG7. I've been for nearly a week and have no issues at all.

I had sent my phone to Samsung for repair and when it came back it was updated to the latest firmware. I simply hooked it up to my computer and used the same file I had used before to root. Everything worked. I never downloaded the new Debugfs.
