Just got a message that there is an update available for my phone. I am currently rooted running stock ROM. If I update will I lose root? If yes, can I easily re-root?

Typically most pushed updates will cause you to loose root. As for your other question I'm not sure, what is the update for 4.3? Can't answer without knowing what the update is updating to.

It's just a small update, about 60 MB. Bumped the version from D80010d to D80010o. Still 4.2.2. From what I could see, the update added 'Play Games' app. It probably fixed the over-sensitive touchscreen too, but I can't say for sure.

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

Not sure if I accidentally updated the other day, but this is what my current build is on. Should I be concerned?
Me is the same!

There is no AT&T OTA yet.

I have my phone rooted so I can use the hotspot feature and I have no problems with it. When the OTA update came I expected it to kill root and I was prepared for that also. The problem is when the phone reboots and begins installing the update, it ends with an error. It doesn't say what the error is. I'm just wondering if the error might be root related or phone related. Anyone else seeing this problem?
Root related. There is a thread to how to update MJA with MF9 boot loader I HIGHLY recommend that of you truly want to update.

I think your issue is the hotspot mod add to why the update is failing. But I agree with above, I'd go the update route that gets you the update minus the Knox bootloader

My phone is working real good now, good battery life, no dropped calls, etc. I wonder if updating is really worth the effort? I'll have to see what advantages 4.3 will give me. Thanks for the tip on the above thread.
Yes, any modded files in the system partition(hot-spot mod) will cause the OTA to fail. Also, you must be on the stock recovery.

I just saw another OTA push to my AT&T G2 phone last night. I already got the D80010d on my phone from the last update. I'm currently rooted. Has anyone move up from this update? And does the root get retained? Not sure what is the new update for...
I never got that

Well I guess I'm one of the first one getting this now. I'm not sure what software update is this for after D80010d. I don't want to break my root since I froze a lot of bloatware from my ATT that improved my battery life tremendously. CIQ is one of the ones I also disabled. I hope someone has this update version to verify.
I'm on d80010o and it says I'm up to date.

D80010d was the factory image. Then AT&T updated to D80010o

Can rootkeeper retain the root after this? is the "o" version still under 4.2.x?
Resolved!

I just went ahead and update it to version "o". And it retained my root access! Consider this inquiry resolved.
To install the OTA update for 4.4 you have to unroot. Is the 4.4 update worth losing root access?

A thread has already been started for 4.4.2 KitKat.
Route all KitKat questions here:

That would really be up to what you think is more important.
I am fine with running rooted 4.4 until the "official" gets root.
If you switch I do believe you will be stuck with it. I would think that MJ5 restore will work.
