Do not update if you want to keep root. It blocks root.

If you root before you update, then you will keep the root. Just don't install Clockwork mod. I think that screws up the update, causing it to fail. Anyway, My phone is rooted and on 2.3.4 and I did just this.

I'm going to ftf back to 2.3.3 to get root

unlock your bootloader and you can root every firmware version by flashing superuser zip file in CWM, even 2.3.4

Can I update System OS after Rooting?

Just rooted my N7 and when I rebooted, I got a message "System Update Available". If I update the system, will I lose root?

Try it and let us know.

from my experience with updating previous device after roooting, you will loose root after the udpate but you can still root again.

But then if I have to root again, I go back to the original OS version, right? So seems like a waste of time?

Rooting and unlocking the bootloader are not the same things. Flash su.zip to root.

If it is an ota update...go in superuser user app and check ota survival and ur root may survive the update :thumbup:

(Q) system update downloaded- safe to do?

Hello guys,
I got my n10 today, rooted using marks toolkit.
Now the notification says "system update downloaded" and press to restart and install...
Is there an update or is my tablet trying to restore the original bootloader, and will updating unroot my phone?
Thanks,
Mark.

The OTA is normal. It has nothing to do with root.
I'm not sure if you'll lose root. I don't remember the order of what I did. If you lose it, just re-root. Or you can download Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, which has worked for me in the past.

Yes, you will lose root but you will remain unlocked... in fact, it is a good idea to unroot before installing OTA updates... being a Nexus device, this can easily be re-rooted....

Thank you guys!
I will do it then... Cheers, Mark

[Q] root+updates from Google question

So if I were to root to get features such as ad block would I still be able to get the updates straight from Google? I'm assuming I would have to reroot after each update? Sorry for noon question this is my first nexus device and I haven't had it that long. Still trying to get everything switched over from s3

I still get google updates just fine OTA. Whatever method I used to root seems to keep itself rooted after updates so far, the but it's so easy to root it hardly matters, but if in have to ill just re-root.

No, you will lose root access. Which means you will have to re-root it again.

You'll lose root but for some reason I never do because something I installed while doing it the first time fixes it for me. I wish I could tell you exactly what that is, but I've been through four updates since last fall and kept root on all of them. I just have no idea what it was that I did so right!

If you're already rooted then just install OTA rootkeeper and it should keep root after updates

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
