Root "Official OTA" vs. 8/1 OTA Leak

Have any differences between the two been discovered?


Also, is there any benefit to updating from .79 to .92 HBoot?

I believe if you update HBoot it will close the vulnerablilty unrevoked uses for installing s-off. So if you install the newer HBoot without s-off you are SOL as far as rooting for a while. Also there is absoluty NO benefit of upgrading Hboot anyway..

I figured as much, but I had to ask. I'm already S-off, so all good on that front.

What about 8/1 vs. 8/26? Has anyone seen any differences? Even general observations.
