[Q] updating with root

I'm new to rooting and i just rooted my device yesterday. i running with the stock ROM 4.2.1 and I'm wondering if when Google pushes out the next update will i be able to update. and if i do can update will I brick my device, lose root, or will nothing happen.

If you have the stock recovery it will update like normal and kill root.
If you have a custom recovery it will download but not install, doing nothing.

It will unroot ur phone if u update and u will have to root it again.

ota while rooted

In my notifications there is a new system update that it wants me to download that I can't get rid of. I am rooted using the motochopper method and was wondering if I can accept this ota? Will it brick my phone? Will it unroot me? Not a big deal to me if it unroots, just need to know what will happen

I guess u wont be able to update since u have already rooted that makes a device custom only official device software firmware can be updated
U can give it a try

You can update via the Kies software, but you'll need to re-root after

[Q] Help me Please. Urgent

Some Urgency
:good::good:

When I flashed the news 4.3 ROM, it unrooted my phone. But the boot loader was still showing it was up locked. This happened to a lot of people. I can't say if there is a fix for this, but you have to re-root when you update to 4.3. And the root keeper apps, like OTA root keeper don't work when you update to 4.3.

you always have to reroot after an ota updates. but all tou need to do is flash a custom recovery via fastboot then flash the su binaries via the custom recovery.

Root before taking Lollipop update?

Hey guys. Have a new G2 on the way. I had one a few months ago and used Stump Root to get it rooted. I never flashed any ROMs or even a custom recovery. Just rooted so I could use Xposed.
When the new one arrives do I need to root before taking the Lollipop update? Will it keep root? Or should I root after Lollipop, if Lollipop has even been rooted.
Thanks for the help!

i just tried to take the OTA thursday night and it put my g2 into boot loop. i had to go into recovery and restore previous backup.
i think your gonna need to take the update then root, i'm trying to figure out how to unroot so i can then take to OTA then root again. i want to try the Xenon HD rom afterwards
you might get lucky and it come with the update already if you just ordered it
