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?

Do I have to unroot to actually do the OTA?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I followed this post from the Dev forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
That gets 3.1 installed with root access by using the new version of the Clockwork Recovery module.
How long does it take and is it hard to root I need to do it soon, but will I still get ota updates?

The official ICS is already out?!
Also you can install OTA updates and keep root just install 'OTA RootKeeper' from the android market when you have successfully rooted your device
I didn't test it yet because I modded my stock rom too much and there wasn't an update >4.0.3 yet. But the app is from supercurio and will probably work well
you can flash a stock otA ICS 4.0.3 rom after rooting

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.

JB 4.2.1 FLASHABLE OTA UPDATE
And, after the 4.2 update I provide the 4.2.1 file for who doesn't get the OTA notification
the file is a 1mb zip and corrects few bugs (santa is back)
I didn't made it, all gredits goes to GOOGLE

If this helped ckick thanks button
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

Currently i am rooted on 4.1.2 and I want to update to the current version. If i update to the current version is there a root method? Also is this the only version that i can unlock the bootloader at?

Which system version are you on? Please don't say 4.1.2. Your system version will tell us if you can unlock.
I am on 9.16.6.xt926
After i unlock(if i do), would the best plan be to reset and update then root or reset, root then update?

if you removed anything from stock, you will have to use one of the utilities to flash it back to stock first. a reset wont make it start updating again or replace any stock apps you may have removed.
so, you will likely have to root afterwards, as the tool re-writes everything.
