I followed this post from the Dev forum:

That gets 3.1 installed with root access by using the new version of the Clockwork Recovery module.

question about updating to 3.2

if I have a rooted xoom 3.1 and I got the system update to 3.2, is it safe to just update it? or do I need to unroot, return to stock, and then update?

Vzw xoom wait for 3.2 or root this bad boy?

My issue is whether the sdcard is better supported with 3.1 and root or 3.2 ? Also there is the books and movie rental issue as well on root. Unless that's been fixed. Is the access the same read only with both options?

wait for 3.2 + root
So is that root my 3.1, and then move up to rooted 3.2?

[Q] Using LG's official gingerbread update

Hello,
I am currently dusting my old LG Phoenix off for my girlfriend as her blackberry just died. My LG phoenix is rooted using the gingerbreak.apk however, it is still using Froyo.
I would like to update this to 2.3 for her and was wondering if I can just plug my phone in and run the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade tool from LG. Is this possible? Would the phone retain the root?
Thanks,
P.S. I tried looking around on the forums however, I am using a computer at work so I might have overlooked something.
It should if you download and install OTA Rootkeeper from the store. Once installed backup root then upgrade and reinstall OTA and restore.

Just a heads up, if you're running the stock android browser you'll need to put back the two /system/app/browserproxy* files you had to move/rename. The 4.2.1 patch seems to update them, and for some reason I don't have to take them back out to keep using the stock browser (i'm using version browser version 4.2.1)...?
Does this remove root? And would flashing the update that popped up on my tab cause me to lose root?

I'm not sure if it was because of Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, or CMW6.x asking to keep root, but mine stayed, as did the custom recovery.

YES it does!
I had to reflash 4.2, as if I re root via Nexus Tool kit I lose custom cwm touch recovery.
Will leave this update until the removal of root is fixed.
Can I flash this trough twrp without losing root privileges
