I rooted my phone but haven't flashed any roms yet. Will I be able to get the 2.3.4 ota update when it becomes available. Or will I have to unroot my phone.

as long as you have stock recovery it should flash over just fine
If you've rooted and installed CWM I dont think you will be able to update with the OTA update because you aren't using the stock recovery. Also, once you update OTA I think you will lose root anyway. Why don't you just flash a custom rom? That way you can run android 2.3.4 without losing root..
I'm running stock with s-off and I have cwm installed. And I get my its notification. Every other day I just decline. So the answer is yes u will get it as to what will happen if u accept and sl Idk. U prolly loose root.

OTA Update Works with Root
I downloaded the OTA, copied it to the root of my sdcard, renamed it to update.zip and applied it using recovery.
If you're using the super user app, the apps that have preferences saved will continue to gain root access. Apps that do not have a preference stored will be denied root no matter what. So it's 1/2 way there. Unforunately I didn't save this preference for my shell.
So do not do this if you need root to work flawlessly right now. I will try to re-root and report back later.
So I just got some type of OTA update from Verizon, I have an unlocked bootloader as well as rooted. Can I install this update or will it brick? The file is under /cache/fota/update.zip 30.92mb. I thought if you was rooted you couldn't even get OTA's. Any ideas? I renamed the file so it wouldn't update even though it asked me when to install and I entered 10pm tonight to retry.

It's a pretty major security patch so hopefully someone here puts it in a package for flashing. Someone else said they just unlocked again immediately after but I'm not sure how to best approach it for you.

Rooting doesn't do anything about receiving updates, it's a particular file that is phoning home.

Do you have a rom? If not people are saying they installed update and rooted device again.
I just got it this morning as well.... I'm stock rooted and I don't want the update. Do I have to accept it? Do I need to un-root? What will happen to my Google Wallet & Google Now?
I'd like to know also, I am stock rooted, unlocked and don't know if I should accept the update or not??
I got the same update but it flashed itself into recovery and then failed to install the update. Says "install aborted"

You are right, I clicked "OK", it rebooted and went into CWM. I clicked "reboot now", when the phone finished booting I got an error message. Hopefully it won't continue doing this.
No I'm on a stock rooted ROM, it tried to install just now and failed as well.

This is because you all most likely have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and it can only install on stock recovery. If you freeze sdm1.0 it wont keep asking you to update

I've heard that to be safe, you need to re-lock the boot loader, un-root, and go back to stock in order to accept the updates.
There is a guide to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253

You are okay to be rooted and do a update. I do it all the time, it just unroots you and you have to rerun ur rooting. As for the bootloader i lock it before a update

If you use version 1.2 there isn't any issues. The 1.4 in the market of the one with issues. There's a thread somewhere in here that you can download the older versions that work correctly still

Just find ez-unlock in the play store and click on the link in the description. It will take you to the app's website,which has links for all versions.

I am tempted to go back to a regular sense 2.1 stock rooted ROM and attempt the upgrade even though I know I might not be able to root again for a while. I rooted through revolutionary. What is the worst, likely thing that could happen? Will I boot back up to all of my data on the stock Thunderbolt ICS?

You have to fully unroot to take the ota.

You, of course, need to fully unroot before you flash back to the stock ROM and take the OTA. If you do not fully unroot, taking the OTA will brick you since it contains a new encrypted hboot. I would just wait for the rooted version of the OTA to be released, which should be posted within the next few days.
It would suck to unroot and take the OTA and then have to wait however long before you can root again.
However, if you're talking about flashing an old stock ROM backup that you may have made a long time ago, it wont have any complications. You will be able to receive the OTA then, but do not install it without fully unrooting first.
Buy fully on rooting, does that include the option to on route that is found in the Super SU settings?

I wouldn't trust it.
Just download the files and go through command prompt to unroot. Not sure if it can be done with trter10s tool or not. I rooted mine with the same method and when I ran trter10s tool and hooked up my phone, it basically was saying it was interrupted. So I had to unroot the old manual way through command prompt.
If you can use his tool though, by all means, use it. It will definitely save you time.

No, that only removes superuser. Fully unrooting means flashing everything back to stock (aka tbolt tool)

We are talking about taking the new ICS OTA and the consequences of installing that OTA with your current hboot.
Don't try it.

Isn't that what he was talking about? Sounds like he was rooted with s-off, flashed a stock rooted rom and then updated via the OTA. Sounds like he didn't apply the stock locked bootloader and the OTA applied just fine. Wouldn't the OTA just overwrite the bootloader with the new locked one?
Looks like the only problem you'd have doing it that way is waiting for a new root method.

Possibly. I figured you'd probably have to return the bootloader to stock before taking the OTA to prevent a brick.
If you can work around it that way, that is definitely a good thing to know.

I was previously on the most up-to-date version of gingerbread, and used HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1 to S-off/root the device.
I flashed stock recovery 2.11.605.9 to the device. I downloaded the following RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.11.605.9_Radio_0.01.78.0916w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_226879_signed, pulled the rom.zip from it, and renamed it to PG05IMG.zip to flash it to the device. The device then updated itself to the most up-to-date gingerbread version. I then performed the update for ICS, it installed itself just fine, and the device booted up into ICS. I checked the bootloader, it says that I am S-off Hboot-6.04.1002, and Radio-2.02.00.1117r.
After restarting the device, I started HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1. It asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes, and it proceeded through it. Once the program finished its installation, I had the SU app in the app drawer, and downloaded ROM Manager so that I could install the recovery, it asked for SU permission to install it. I then restarted just fine into recovery to double check that it was there.

So you pulled the OTA and it flashed fine with the Revolutionary Hboot and stock recovery? I have stock .19 recovery and the same hboot as you have there, running rooted stock, and the OTA failed for me. It tried to run and then failed about 1/3 of the way through.

Backing up current ROM now.. have the RUU on SD ready to flash.. Looks like RUU in trter10's sig has stock recovery in it, so going to try flashing RUU with 4ext and nusensex currently installed.
backup done.. formatting all except SD to be safe (ext3)
Loading PG05IMG.zip in bootloader...
Updating.. it says it Bypassed the bootloader... excellent... all others updated OK including recovery and radio..
rebooting.. seems to be starting up ok. Signed in to google, will check for OTA in a moment.
Found 395.638MB update (ICS) Downloading now.. appears to have enabled 3g to download even though i'm on wifi.. this my take a bit. not sure why it's not 4g at the moment.
hmm, ics loaded, when trying to root with the thunderbolt tool, phone reboots itself into the bootloader. any ideas? ok, had to choose the bootloader option, and then choose the fastboot option to go back in and it took. weird.
installed busybox and updated 4ext to the latest, looks like im in business.
Actually, all you have to do is download the stock Rom. Then you can do the ota without unrooting. That is what I did.

I originally unlocked my boot loader through HTCDev. I installed root and clockwork recovery. Clockwork recovery prevented tho ota. So, I installed the stock Rom via recovery which overwrite clockwork recovery AMD unrooted the phone. I then did the ota. So now I have ics with unlocked bootloader. I should say that I spent half a day reading numerous web pages outlining complicated directions on unrooting and ways to remove clockwork recovery. In the end it was quite easy as stated above.

Try to apply the update manually in recovery mode. It will tell you what file is corrupt. Either out the file back or use fastboot to update.

This is apparently a known issue. You will have to manually download the updates and flash them in recovery to get to JB and keep root. See droidrzr forum for the flashable files. I went ahead and put both the updates on my sdcard and flashed them both in recovery. I tried since Monday to get the OTA with no luck. Make sure you temp unroot/restore between flashes.

Here are the links to the incremental update as well as the JB update, both flashable in recovery (once you have downgraded to ICS + rooted, etc.)

Happy rooting!
Hmm.. I just noticed that you rooted after the OTA would not download (it won't download for anyone rooted or not at this time, maybe network problem). If you do NOT wish to keep root and update to JB then you can simply use RSDLite or Motorola Utility to upgrade to stock JB from ICS. It is not required that you download or flash the incremental update if you use this method. Hope this helps.
Re: [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 3/5***
Was running the OTA 4.1.2 stock
I followed the OP in the stated guide, everything went great.
Installed TWRP, rooted and unlocked.
I than flashed the latest CleanRom, that went well also.
Phone was and is running nicely. I had an update for superuser from the play store, which I took, but now I don't have root.
Can I just reinstall the superuser from TWRP or do I have to start over?

I do not have any settings in the Superuser app to reinstall/cleanup. I have uninstalled the update from the app store.....
Really wondering if I install the Superuser from TWRP do I need to reflash the VRALEC Bootchain first?
I have went ahead and installed the updated binary from in TWRP. That gave me root again.
