So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?
Thanks in advance.

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.
i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?
What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

You don't need CWM to update, you can use the stock recovery as long as the update is official Google signed from here [REF] ALL Nexus S OTA Updates for ALL Variants, Plus Full ROM Packages
tried just get blank screen on recovery doing my head in love the phone other wise and gps issue gone now no idea what that was
going back exchanging it samsung said that its a recovery problem
Exchanged for a new mobile and update through standard BIOS yey

I've heard about a android 4.3.3 update coming but I've rooted my Nexus 5 recently so I'm still kinda new to all this. I was wondering I would update to this when it comes out while keeping my Kernal and all that good stuff. Thanks!
read the stickies, the ota one will tell you all you need to know. As for me, I'm rooted, stock kernel, and custom recovery. I plan on flashing the next update in recovery.
also why do you want to downgrade to 4.3.3? when launched last november, this phone shipped with 4.4.

Don't be a ****. He obviously meant 4.4.3
Same. I am rooted with framework. So I uninstall framework from the app. Put flash file on nexus 5. Boot into recovery and flash as normal? Do I need to clear data and will I lose root?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There's no need to wipe data. And, yes, you'll loose root, so just need to re-root it again
So I just flash on top of it? And would it not be hard to re-root because it's a new android version?

Once you're updated, you just need to flash the supersu zip again to gain root access.. No, it shouldn't be hard to re-root!

I woke up this morning like usual grabbing my phone before i headed out the door. When I was watching a youtube video a 4.4.3 system update notification showed up, i assumed it must be the next snapshot from cm but it wasn't the same as a am update it looks like an update that would come from google. I would like to know if i should download and flash or re flash cm or anything would be helpful. the update is 92.2 MB if anyone is wondering. thanks in advance.
You should look at this. You're on a custom Rom and recovery. You may have other things that would cause the update to fail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47369234

You can't install an OTA from Google while on a custom ROM. It will fail.
Waiting for updates

Hello,
The rooting process was very simple and smooth, I rooted the device because I wanted to try different fonts, everything was succesfful, no issues. Since I don't have much knowledge about "Your phone's life after rooting", I would like to ask you . .

I'll be getting the notification of "Android L is avalible, tap to download and install". . . will everything go fine If I just tap and update my Nexus 5 to Android L via OTA, Do I need to unroot the device first and then upgrade it to Android L ?
Nothing should go wrong if I update it officialy via OTA, right ?
I don't care if my root access goes after updating, so it's ok for me.
Thank you

This is all covered in sticky threads. Read OTA Help-Desk which you can get to via my signature.
However I would recommend learning more about being rooted and not taking OTA's at all, as that's super-noob

I did read those stickies, I gained more knowledge though. Thank you
Well sir, I don't mind being called super noob. I just want to update it to Android L without unrooting my Nexus 5. Is that possible ?

Flash a pre-rooted zip of Android L when it comes out via recovery
Thank you, but what will happen if I update it via OTA ? My bootloader is locked though. Just the phone is rooted. Stock rom and kernel are still present !!

If you've changed any of the system files the OTA will fail. You can have root and apply an OTA as that's not checked when doing the update but anything will have to be reverted to stock before the OTA will apply successfully

Alright, fortunately it has an option of factory reset font. I'll switch back to factory font and then I'll perform OTA, that shouldn't fail OTA. Right ??

Assuming everything else is untouched, yes it should work...
If you're going to live in the rooted world, you should learn to do things properly. OTA is the worst way of managing a rooted phone, which is why I said OTA is super-noob. If someone is reliant on OTA updates, they probably should not be rooted in the first place.

You just need to learn before jumping in. Root should not be taken lightly. If you're not willing to learn, don't root. If you are - then do. The problem is if you root then dont do things properly, you cause more work for eveyone here who has to try and help you when things go wrong, so either:
1) Learn
2) Unroot
3) Don't expect help
I recommend 1.
