Default Vibrant OTA update from Tmo

I read some of the threads that they brick their phone after installing J16 OTA from Tmo. I dont know why they brick their phone. We already know that all vibrant user will receive OTA update, right, now this is what I did:

My vibrant, remove one click lag fix from OCLF-RYAN, unroot my vibrant and reboot and do a factory reset. I did all this and the next day I receive OTA update from Tmo, let it install and reboot by itself.
New Task Manager Icon, HD Camcorder and little bit smooth using TW launcher, but Facebook contact sync wont work but according to Tmo, this is a know issue which I agree. Phone is great with J16 update, i root again and install the lagfix V2.+. Did not birck my phone. Hope this helps for those who had not receive OTA and rooted vibrant.

yea. I updated my phone and it stuck on the vibrant screen once i rebooted. The only thing i did was root my phone. No lag fixes. Nothing else. Had to get a replacement phone from Tmobile and unfortunately, its on back order.

i believe you need to factory reset first. delay the update and unroot the phone first and then factory reset. that's what i did, remove lagfix, wifi tether, lcd changer and unroot the phone and factory reset. works with my vibrant.
