Just got done making this.. it's the full update, just unsigned. Since it's unsigned, you need to install it via CWM.. To do that you save this file to your sdcard, boot into CWM recovery, choose install zip file from sdcard, then choose this file.
Before I even begin.. MAKE A BACKUP VIA CWM. DO IT NOW.
This probably doesn't help many of you, but if you're like me, and just renamed an odd .apk here or there, you just rename them back, and you're all set.
Here is the list of .apk's that it checks, and which need to be back to stock
There are so many odex files that are patched/checked, I'm not going to bother to list them. If you know which odex files you renamed, put them back. If you don't, wait for someone else to publish a smart update that can handle that.
I wouldn't try this if you have lag-fix installed. I did apply this update on my phone, but I do not have lag-fix installed. Proceed at your own risk.
After this update is applied via CWM, you can reboot. [EDIT - If you want to easily keep root, don't reboot immediately. Scroll down and read Martian's post(s)]. Don't freak out if it hangs a little longer than normal on the Verizon screen. That's normal. We're talking ~90 seconds tops. Longer than that, something is probably wrong. Try flashing CWM again from odin.
You should still have root after this, but if you don't, you can re-flash CWM recovery, use adb shell (while you're in recovery) and copy back the 'su' file from the rooting tutorial to /system/xbin. After that you should have root back.
If all goes horribly wrong, just restore from your backup. You did make the backup, right?
I know this is confusing, and if you're concerned, nervous, etc.. don't do this. Wait, someone else will come out with a simpler method. The fixes in this update are so minor, it's not worth bricking your phone over.
This is really just to get those in the know started on their way.
