Has anyone on stock JB tried the new Superuser app from Koush? I am interested, but do not want to mess up anything that would require me to re-flash ICS, root and then all the OTAs.

I was going to just install 3.2 from the OTA, but I thought I had better make sure what it will do to my root beforehand. I assume I will lose root. I also assume I won't lose Clockwork Mod right? But if I lose root how will I access Clockwork Mod to gain root back? Could I use ADB reboot recovery once a root solution for 3.2 comes out? Or should I just wait for a dev to release a pre-rooted flashable zip of 3.2? I'm not on a ROM. Thanks!
If you want to install the ota, you have to unroot and return to stock. Do not attempt to install the ota if you haven't done this.
It's a good thing I asked. The Flashable zip wait begins. It's not like 3.2 brings anything major.
Is it possible Update through ota on the NS4G with a STOCK DEODEXED Rom? That should not ruin anything correct? Besides ROOT
If it's deodexed, i'm not sure you'll be OK. If the OTA changes anything in those binary odexed files, it will fail.
nandroid it before hand to be safe if you still want to try.
Is there a way to root the last stock update?
i have the build HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730
I had a thought about that.
If someone released a recovery.img for Clockworkmod, then you could install it without root, using NVFlash.
Then you can install SuperUser or a pre-rooted ROM of your choice using CWM.
Unless I'm missing something...
This is my daughters xoom. I really only want to root it to use Titanium Backup.
Is it possible to rooted with normal method by flashing cwm and flashing root from there using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
and then somehow reflash the stock boot/recovery images.
Would this allow a rooted device with OTA updates?
You can flash stock ROMs on a rooted device: yes.
However: during the process of rooting all of your data will be wiped, so you might want to check with your daughter if that's okay with her!
If you want to stay up-to-date with your Xoom (even before the stock ROMs come out!) my advice to you is to flash team EOS 2.0 on it.
It is extremely stable, runs ICS (even if you have the 3/4G model!)
I think that it's possible to get OTAs if you flash the stock ROM.
Watch out however! If you haven't installed VooDoo OTA RootKeeper, you will lose your root!
So: Install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper if you want to keep your ROM up to date with stock images, while remaining rooted!
Hope this helped, if so, please thank my post, sothat I start my sunday morning with a great feeling!
I was just wondering, is the only way to be able to receive updates from Samsung is to be on the stock rom, I currently own a rooted Asus tablet with a stock rom But I can no longer receive Updates through Asus because of unlocked bootloader . So all in all I guess I'm asking how do the updates work on this phone with, root,unlocked boot loader, stock/custom roms. Thanks.

It's all the same for all devices, unlocked bootloader you don't get OTA. If you're using custom/stock rom with unlocked bootloader, you just have to wait for a repack stock rom or update custom rom. If you have rooted pure stock rom you should able to receive OTA and use OTA root keeper to preserve root. If you modify your build.props or removed system apps, the update will failed. Hope that answer your quesiton.

So from what I understand as long as Im on the stock rom even if its rooted I can receive updates and I need to use ota root keeper to continue to be rooted after an OTA update, correct?

I should probably add, if I had just rooted and got twrp and made a backup of the stock rom, then flashed a custom rom and if I wanted to update could I just reflash the backup of the stock in twrp to be able to update, this would be for if they Didn't have a custom rom out for the latest update. As of right now I have a tablet on ics but I cannot update to jb because I don't have the jb boot loader or whatever, but say I was to flash a stock Asus rom on ics And use OTA rootkeeper Would I then be able to flash jb custom roms? I assume the OTA update from ics To jb installs the correct boot loader instead of having to do it manually from a cimputer, big thanks for any help.
