If I root my Nexus 5 (just basic, stock root) will I still be able to get updates from Google? and not be un-rooted when/if I install it?

I'm new to the Android platform but have Jailbroken and Unlocked three iPhones in the past.
I'm planning to root a new Samsung Epic maily remove the bloatware Sprint installed and to improve the phone's performance. What I'd like to know is if root access will remain if and when the phone is updated to Froyo?
This may happen two ways: an official update from Samsung/Sprint or a custom ROM. I'm assuming a custom ROM or Froyo ROM would still be rooted, but what about an official update from Samsung?
Thanks for any help!

Once you are rooted you never go back unless you manually unroot.
Any official update will unroot so wait til you have confirmation that root will be possible before applying any official update.

I would like to update to the latest firmware. I have not updated since I rooted a while back. I am still on firmware 8.6.5.6 and would like to update to the latest.
What is the best way to proceed?
Obviously, I don't want to break anything in the process of updating. I would like to keep my root or reroot at the very least. Although the only real reason I rooted in the first place was to boost my clock speeds. So I am even willing to unroot if that's the best/easiest way.
Thanks!
So, if I root my nexus s gsm on tmobile, can I still get OTA updates for say Key Lime Pie?
1- will it still be rooted after an ota?
2- I don't want to install custom rom, can i just keep jelly bean and then whatever comes next?
my understanding is that most people without stock andoid who take an OTA wind up with carrier bloatware etc which wouldn't matter with me since its stock android and no carrier bloatware.
with root i would be able to do some things I can't now (main thing projecting screen onto computer
thx in advance
usually you will lose root after ota.
however, if you use SuperSU Pro (Superuser's alternative), it can try to retain root after ota, but it's not guaranteed though. you'll need pro version if you want that feature.
Hello, I just downloaded the 5.0.2 OTA for my wifi Note 12.2. I have been wanting to root it but haven't really had the time. Now I need to decide whether to install the OTA. If I install it, will I lose the ability to root it later? A quick answer would be greatly appreciated.
Rooting is easy so no problem.
no
As far as installing it - I say DON'T
I AM NOT.
