How would we unroot I'm trying to sign into a app it won't let me so I wanted to unroot then sign in root back up.
Unrooting and then rerooting would probably not work as the app probably does a root check every time it is launched.

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:

I updated and didn't lose root. How did you root in the first place.

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

I suspecting if they patch it, you can always go back to mr1 via the odin one-click and re-root.
You can also now disable att-updater in apps and there is another update file, not sure what it is right now, maybe fota, disable/freeze that
Did you figure out what to disable? I normally would use root app delete but im not rooted yet.

I used App quarantine you have to go into settings and uncheck hide system files but it worked. There is also an app that will perserve root even if it did update https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
I froze att-updater but didn't see anything about fota.
You can use Voodoo OTA also to help protect it.

That's all I did too. And haven't come across fota for this phone either--but i haven't read EVERY post on forum yet--almost though
If OTA Rootkeeper in link is also called fota--missed that
There was a fota on my htc phones, never used it
If I used the ioroot method after taking att ota update and it didn't install su binaries. Can I use another method or do I have to go through unroot process and then do it.

If you didn't get first time it's fine to do again or if you had and lost from ota its fine to use ioroot method, ioroot is a pretty safe and quick way, afterward I would uninstall superuser and install supersu imo
