Will OTA update remove root? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Just as post asks. I've been flashing roms for years, but never really needed to know this until I was just prompted to download the latest ics update...figured why not give or a try.

Clark44, the dev of the ROM, said that he might update. It all depends on his time, he's a full time student.
You can flash the update from Freeza over the ROM, but you also need to flash "Revert to LF9 Universal Search" found in the OP to have the full google search. Read the thread and see what has been reported...

At OP change the thread title to JellyBean OTA Arrived, or something of the nature. Maybe ask for people to post where they are located that are getting the OTA.

Well since you are in the sprint galaxy s3 forum you shouldn't have to worry about that. Now on other sites that don't break them down into sub forums (Verizon, sprint, T-Mobile, international, etc.) It would be wise to know that. Just make sure it has sprint galaxy s3, D2spr, or SPH-lz10 in it. Also, welcome to the forums! And/or XDA if you weren't here before!

I believe the 2 files they're referring to are the system files that flash the stock recovery upon reboot if stock isn't installed. Though the easiest way to install the twrp recovery is install the goo manager app and install from there.

No worries, and correct.
Once in the goo manager app
-press menu
-select the 'open script recovery' option > accept the message
-it will download and install
-reboot into recovery and you're done
And as of roms, it depends; if you like touchwiz, i personally recommend blazer rom - phantom hacker, fre3 gs3 - clark44 ; and if on aosp: aokp, miui, and can't go wrong with straight cm10.
how do i know if im completely up to date, firmware, radio etc...and i see two sections...original android dev. and just android dev. which one i use?
again thanks
original?...whats the diff? think im done now

As we all know, the MD4 source was released. Here we can talk about it. When did you receive the update? If you have it, how does it run? What do you think of it? Discuss below.
I know this is early, but people receive the updates quicker than others. Tell us when you got it!

IF YOU USE GOOGLE SERVICES TRICK, FOLLOW OMAR04 GUIDE HERE:
Omar04 said:
I always force it by force stopping and clearing data of Google Services Framework non stop LOL. some times you get it first try sometimes you need to abuse it but eventually it will pick up the OTA. Trust me I've been doing it that way for a few years. (Note: It can mess up Google Service and cause misbehavior after updating you might need to remove and re add Google account to fix the play store issue. If that doesn't work you better perform a Factory Reset to fix misbehavior of google services.)

First of all, thats kernel source. Second, its just source, its not compiled so you cant run anything.

No. Source code is not the same as executable code. Do not try to flash the source to your phone.
Source code is used primarily to write custom kernels by developers.

Nope, MC3 roms will not prompt you to update, however if a no wipe flashable is released (and one will be) you will be able to use that to update yourself.

Not if you're on MC3. If you're on MB1 you will get prompted but if you are rooted and made any system level changes the update will fail. What most people (on XDA) will need is the "no data wipe" Odin, or a CWM zip to update.
Generally speaking people using the official OTA updates are not XDA users. I would not expect any MC3 roms to ever offer the update which is fine because to get on MC3 you had to manually flash it so you already have the skills to manually flash MD4 when it drops.

But if someone flashes md4 would they get future ota's
