Yep, that is a very valid point. The SM-N9005 Test ROM requires the use of Odin which it does a Full-Wipe, an OTA just like those of the past that we've had have not done a Data wipe, so we could Protect Root with Survival Mode and then Restore after the Update completes.I was under the impression that the only data wipe was when people are Odin-ing the update, rather than accepting an OTA. On the past androids i had (incredible, thunderbolt, galaxy nexus, s3, note 10.1, nexus 7) i haven't had an update that wiped data from an OTA.
The big question still remains out there is the SE Android Status after the Update is going to be "Permissive" as it is now, or is it going to be "Enforcing"?

I certainly know not underestimate Hashcode, that guy is a pure Genius in human form. I'm just trying to rule out the variables before the update so that there are no surprises when it comes around. Last thing, anyone would like to have happen is get KitKat and all of sudden lose Root and Safestrap. I certainly don't lack faith in anyone's abilities, I'd rather be prepared for the storm before it hits, that way there is no storm.For some reason I don't think they are going to set it to enforcing. Because they haven't for the past 3 updates. Even if they did. Hash would be able to easily cook up ss because on the at&t note 3 and Verizon s4 and s3 are enforcing and he was able to do it... Never underestimate @Hashcode
