I have rooted my Zenpad and there is an OTA update available.
I tried doing the OTA update but it bricks my entire tablet.
Is there a ROM I could download to upgrade? If so, could I keep root access?

I'm running android 4.2 and I'm getting an update notification to update to android 4.2. I don't know why I'm getting the update but if I do accept the update, will it ruin my root?

i had nexus7 32gb with android 4.1.1 / kernel 3.1.10 (without any modification, stock rom, without root, without unlock etc.)
i want to upgrade to latest android,
which way for upgrade is proper for my device?
firstly upgrade than root
or
firstly root than upgrade
upgrade then root. If you rooted first you would lose root with the upgrade and have to root again. Just upgrade first then root:good:
I would root first and update after that. Use the OTA rootkeeper app to keep root. (A lot of people had trouble rooting their device on 4.2)

I rooted with Towelroot but did nothing else. Will this prevent me from getting the OTA Android 5.0 update, when and if it comes available?
Thanks!
Once you root and alter system an OTA will never work.
I have rooted the altered some files then unrooted and OTA worked perfectly

Yes sorry I didnt add that ota is possible if you unroot the device. Ota isn't possible while rooted. Also I wouldn't expect 5.0 for a few months if at all. Verizon does updates so slow.
How do I unroot when I only have access to a Macbook Pro? Odin and stuff like that are Windows only.

I looked at Mobile Odin, bought it, and ran it. Says device is not supported (SM-N900V : Verizon Note 3)!
Any other suggestions?
Almost all android phone can connect to a pc. Buy an old xp unit just for your phone flashing uses.
Hi all, I've a rooted my s7e last month (using cf-auto-root no recovery). Now, smartswitch show me an update available (almost 2Gb!!!).

Hi guys I'm currently using nexus 6p android 7.0 nbd90x latest security patch. Previously rooted with twrp installation. Now returned back fully to stock. Even locked the bootloader. Did it using the nexus root toolkit.
My ques is that will i be able to download and install ota updates like I used to before rooting my phone. Thanks
Yes as long as it's full stock u will receive and install OTA updates.
This also works with Full Stock with unlocked bootloader's.
