I've already rooted my phones Is it okay to update to the latest firmware update? Has it been confirmed that a restore back to stock is necessary? Can I unroot and install the update safely?

Using cf root you still can get updates through kies but applying an update will lose root so you will have to reroot after every update. OTAs although cf root does say its compatible they have failed for ppl so i wouldnt recommend updating your phone through OTA with cf root.
But if your a regular visitor to xda you can always apply the latest firmwares though ODIN as they become available and not worry about kies or OTA

Hi,
An OTA would unroot your phone anyway.
So you would have to re-root after you updated.

You Can Download the Latest Firmware Flash It Using ODIN and Then Root Ur Phone Again.
Thats the Best Way to Do it.
In Case If you just Need OTA then Factory reset Your Phone and You would get the Official Status Back

Hi,
You need to flash a stock ROM ,stock recovery ,then run Triangle Away from the market (if you were returning for warranty)
This will return your counter to 0.
It is all explained HERE
You should then be able to receive OTA
I don't care about losing root, can I get the latest update through Kies? OTA fails on me. Also if a Kies update is successful will everything return to stock? #Noob

Why not download the rooted latest release from the android development section? I do not believe you can accept ota updates or update firmware via kies while rooted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Well I was rooted with a custom recovery got the ota to download but on reset it failed. So I when back to stock but I couldn't get it to download the update. The only way I got it to. Is the flash counter was reset and the status of phone was official.
Now it suxs not having root.

This is my first time updating a rooted device. I switched to android this summer. I am currently rooted on stock 4.2 MDL. To update to 4.3 I can't use the OTA right? Do I need to flash a copy of it myself since I'm already rooted? Or do I unroot then update? Not sure how the whole process works.
Don't update and please use a custom 4.3 ROM!

Ok so I have all but the most recent update on my phone and its rooted and I have twrp installed as a custom recovery. From what I understand I can not flash the most recent update because its not a full update it just tweeks some things. So to my question is there anyway to flash the stock recovery so I can get the update.

I just updated but didn't lose root. :good:
A coworker with a RAZR HD said he updated I checked his root and it remained as well. Apparently update does not break existing root.
