So is anyone having any issues with this update? Mainly, is Wi-Fi tether still working? I just want to check before I update.
Still pretty new to all of this but pretty sure I understand. The only thing is I was planning on trying out a new rom, I think it is CHAos. If I follow these instructions, can I then get chaos and reboot into recovery and just flash chaos?
Go to settings / display and make sure Multi-Window is checked. The, on any screen with a light backgound (just because it's easier to see), look for a little half-circle shape in the middle of the left-edge of the screen. If you see it, put a finger on it and drag it to the right. If you don't see it, long press the back button.

Are you rooted? I think you must be if you have WiFi tether working. If so, just make a Nandroid backup before updating. If you run into issues, you can restore and get back to where you are now.

I am rooted. I just finished the update, and Wi-Fi tether is still working. And so far all other root required apps seem to be working.
Thanks for the reply.
I am rooted also and did the update and now my Wi-Fi tether doesn't work anymore:'( the app has superuser permission but when I press to tether it says it is but it does nothing, no upload or download speeds and my Nexus 7 that I tether off it does not see it
Check out the thread linked a couple of posts above.
What version of WiFi tether are you using?

My phone is rooted, but I have stock recovery. I'm getting a signature validation error. Do I have to have CWM recovery installed to use the instructions in post #2?
Yes.
Which set of instructions are you trying to follow? If you have stock recovery, and all the factory installed apps, then post #1 should work. But if you used an app like Titanium backup to freeze or remove any of the Samsung or Sprint apps, then you can't use post #1.
In order to use post #2, yes, you need CWM or TWRP (I recommend TWRP, it's does everything CWM does and more).
Oh. OK. I thought I couldn't use post #1 if I was rooted. I haven't removed any of the bloatware. I'll give post #1 a try. Thanks
Sooooooo, I was searching the threads and had no luck finding anything mentioning waiting patiently for the ota to drop on a rooted device. In other words, I'm rooted and I just received the ota update notification. Thing is, I'm worried it will break my root. So can I apply the update via ota and still have my root, or should I do manual update? Anybody know?
Go to the first page of this thread. Go post #2, it covers how to update if rooted. That is assuming you have either TWRP or CWM recoveries. If rooted with stock recovery see post #1
