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

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:

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

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

I'm trying to restore my phone so I can sell it so I was wondering how do I remove custom recovery, root and revert back to stock ROM? By reverting back to stock will this allow me to do ota updates?

Hi mate,
Restoring back to stock should restore your OTA ability and remove recovery/root.......There is a back to stock link in my signiature......Follow the guide in there for restoring your phone:good:

No not exactly. You also need to reset the flash counter using triangle away app.

cant I jus t revert to stock via keis?
These are basic questions that you should have known before you started to flash your phone.
But no, Kies won't do anything for you in this case. Use Odin.

You cannot update a rooted device via OTA - it'll download, but it won't install. You have to unroot to install it, and I don't even think it works. - Better flashing it via Odin, then re-rooting.
