If I go through the install what would happen? Would it even allow me? I thought that if you were rooted you would not receive the notification. I just don't want to take that chance to try it and brick my XOOM. I also do not want to relock it and that wipes it to return to stock.
well if I would guess, since I haven't received an update notification yet, it will probably update just fine, but could remove root. Since it is an unlocked device, if it is unrooted by the update, it shouldn't break the ability to root.
tl:dr it's probably safe
So did you update?

Just installed the update and did not even have to relock my XOOM
So your xoom was unlocked and you still got he update?
Yep. And I am still rooted. Love it that I did not have to return to stock

Sweet. I am sure Moto said to return to stock as a safety measure because they didn't want people coming back with troubles. From their stock build is just the "Official" way to make sure it works and cover their asses.
Excellent! Hope it hits my town soon

What did you test to see that you're still rooted? Just running Superuser makes it appear I'm still rooted yet I get 'permission denied' when running su in terminal and any program that relies on root can't get root access.
Was a quick fix though, just had to run the line 'adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su'
Ok, just to let you guys know that I had lost root when I did the update. All I had to do was re-root my XOOM and everything is good to go now I have root access to SetCPU and RootExplorer
Just received ota also and I'm rooted. Same thing happened with me, still unlocked but lost root. Hopefully all releases go this way

I got the same green android exclamation icon. Unlocked and Rooted. It did reboot after a few minutes but nothing happened.
It notified me 10 minutes ago and I just installed the update on my rooted and unlocked xoom. All it did for me was unroot it with the update, but the update went through just fine.

Any time you get an OTA update, you have to re-root. Just do the same root process you did before to get root and you'll be fine again.

Get permission denied. Is this normal for the droid?
I have the eris also. And can use adb commands.sorry if this is stupid
Should be able to use adb commands. Battery pull, then try again? Not sure, assuming you rooted from your computer, adb should be set up correctly, but now you can't use adb? But if you didn't use that computer to root then just need to follow the steps to set it up

Does unrooting the phone actually let you run the update because currently I am not able to run the update successfully and I am rooted. (I had removed some stock apks but have since replaced them all accept for the need for speed apk)
Also to unroot your self just delete superuser.apk?
That didn't take long.

I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

Unfortunately i was running late for work so I hit install, threw the phone in my pocket, and didn't check it again until later. Don't see anything different that i can tell, not sure if it even applied. Maybe it was just a PRL update or something?

Yes, you can but it's a pain in the butt. Go to this thread and then download the original stock firmware. Make sure USB debugging is turned on also.
To install the file you need to have HTC Sync installed and running. Double-click the file and it should recognize the phone and start installing after some input from you.
If you get a USB error, try booting into the bootloader and installing the exe in the same manner.
I just did this last night because I was in the same situation. It works.
Now you can re-root.

It's still the same update. Whether I installed it through an OTA update or from the bootloader doesn't matter.
You guys can get into the bootloader right? Take one of those modified "official" updates, rename it to PG06IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader. Then do my first post and flash to Froyo so you can root again. May be worth a shot.

Unless you have an engineering bootloader, like after you rooted, you can only flash an an un modified pg0610.zip from htc. So any one who took an over the air update is SOL on that front. Best hope now is that the evo 3d root can be applied here

If you remove the Verizon apps, that's less of an opportunity for Verizon to make money off of you. They also talk about security issues, which I can actually see a point to it. After having had my father destroy a computer by deleting system files and registry keys, I believe that root access in the hands of the technologically illiterate could be devastating.
However, that's why they can claim that warranties are voided, because it was something we did to mess it up. Frankly speaking, it's business. They pay people to develop these apps, and the OEMs pay people to make the user interface, which I'm sure is why they like to lock the bootloaders. In other words, companies like to make money, which means they're going to try their hardest to make sure they have every opportunity to.
I posted in the other forum too but maybe I can get some answers here too...
So.. I was on stock 2.3.3 rooted with locked bootloader. Took the OTA without unrooting and now I seem to be on the new 2.3.4 with root. Root checker app confirms it, how do I verify this?
Edit: I used titanium to remove a system app and used open garden and was prompted with the superuser screen

A big part of it is that the carriers don't wanna receive calls from people who did something stupid after rooting, and want repair/replacement.

So am I to understand that if I use root keeper when I've used the zergrush method then I'm okay?

If you are rooted then update OTA you usually keep root access.

In preparation for 2.3.4 I flashed a stock 2.3.3, rerooted, then went ahead with the OTA. It kept root but for some reason my signal and wifi indicators are now a constant gray. Everything works fine so I guess its nothing major right?

I have the same issue. Called Verizon to see if it was part of the update, they called Sony "who could not tell" but said "if everything is working, dont worry about it."
I had the Verizon 2.3.3 firmare, and rooted with zregRush. Before the OTA I read that it would fail with root, so I unrooted the phone. Started having a couple issues, so minor I do not remember what they were, but ended up using flashtool to reflash the stock image I downloaded. Everything was fine then, my icons were turning green when connected, and all. Then did the OTA, and everything is working but the icons for wifi and 3g never go green. Is there any more word on this? Is there any futher word on zeregRush rooting?
I have the doomloard linux script to to the root process, and I tried to run the commands instead of the script, I found that I was unable to create or pus files to the device, so I tried to use the sdcard, but when running the zregRus program all I get is access denied!

Sorry to quote your whole reply. I'm currently mobile. I have the same greyed out issue and turns out a lot of people are having this issue with 2.3.4 on other phones. Galaxy Nexus for exmaple. They are all using stock like most of us with R800x. My Wifi and 3G do work flawless but its annoying because I can never tell if its lost signal or not.

Check G-Talk, if that can't connect, that's the issue (I had the issue on a non-rooted version, too)

Same here. Greyed out.

I checked G-Talk, and no it can not connect to the server. Is this an issue I can fix(reload app, factory reset??) or is this something in the update?

To my knowledge, something in the update, I tried flashing latest Gapps, and still have the same problem

BTW I have locked bootloader, never messed with that! Did root, 2.3.3 also had an issue were I used flashtool to load the R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf so I guess I am not quite sure if I was running a stock image before I did the OTA to 2.3.4?

If you ftf'd back to stock, you were on a unrooted device when you updated, so root isn't the problem
