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.

JB 4.2.1 FLASHABLE OTA UPDATE

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

So I'm running into difficulties updating to jellybean.
I'm rooted on stock 4.04,with the bootloader unlocked, and have vodoo ota installed.
When installing the update, it prompts me in cwm to install the untrusted package. So I click ok to continue.
A quarter way through it fails and reboots, then continues to reboot continously after it powers up to the home screen.
What am I doing wrong, what should I disable to install this ota update.
Thanks in advance

If you have safestrap installed,you need to uninstall it first.
So would safetrap be the equavlant to clock work mod?

Possibly. If you can live without it temporarily without losing root, give it a try. For the update to work, you need to have your phone "stock" with the exception of being rooted, which you can protect with rootkeeper. Any apps that came stock, need to be there, etc. also make sure that your SU binaries are updated as well.
I tried the temp unroot and tried installing it, but it didn't work. I'll attempt to un install clockwork mod, and temp unroot and try it again.
Would you be able to save me some time and point me in the right direction for removing clockwork mod please

If you have a stock image, you can flash that and use supersu to perm unroot but the bootloader will still be unlocked

They didn't care about the bootloader being unlocked, they just want superuser gone. I don't have a stock image with me, how can I get a hold of one?

what i would have done is go outside for a few minutes and uninstall the su app. there is no way you could have flashed it in the store. @ home you can use this from your pc to flash it back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474393 although there is no way to lock the bl back as previously stated.
Does anyone know an fairly successful root for the XT926? all methods so far have failed.
Are updated to kit Kat? If yes then no method available.

Specifically, which version of 4.1.2? Depending on which version you have, you either can use the old root method (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...ot-razr-hd-xt926-for-locked-devices-on-91879/) or the new method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602592).
Only use the new method if you are on 9.30.1. Anything before that can use the one before that.
I am on the 9.30.1 sorry when I Googled the root I couldn't find one for this version.

I am not boot loader unlocked but I will give it a try.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Then you want the new root method (known as Saferoot). Not sure why you mentioned you have a locked bootloader, because if you did have an unlocked bootloader, then you wouldn't have to use any of the methods I just posted. You could just sideload it via a custom recovery. But, since you have a locked bootloader, then you have to use the Saferoot method since you are on 9.30.1.
Ok I will use the second link in your post and try it out. I am understanding that there is no unlock for the 9.30.1 bootloader am I correct?

Correct. The only way to unlock it now is if Motorola/Verizon allows it to be. Otherwise, the exploit that use to exist is no longer available as it has been patched and there is no way to go back and put the exploit back in. It's been patched and lost forever.
But, with the Saferoot option, you can still root the phone. However, DO NOT GO TO KITKAT! If you do, you will lose root for good. Some are trying to find a way to find a new exploit to allow rooting under KitKat, but at this time, there is no way to preserve root over to KitKat nor root KitKat.
So, if you wish to keep root, stay on 9.30.1 JB and pray that someone finds a way to root KitKat for locked bootloaders.

Yup. That exploit requires root as it is and it's been patched. There is a way to enable it, but it requires root, so unless you have root, WiFi tethering is gone under KitKat, at least hacking it for free is gone.
So is writing to the external SD card for apps. Apps can only write to a certain directory on the external SD card, unless you have root, which in case you can then hack it to work like it did under JB. otherwise, any apps that attempt to write to the external SD card won't be able to except for their directory under the Android/data directory. And then, if you uninstall the app, it wipes out all the files saved to the SD card.
Again, having root will fix this, but only if you have an unlocked bootloader since that is the only way to get root under KitKat for the XT926.

And you can unlock your bootloader again.
Who would have thought that Motorola would have reintroduced the exploit to allow unlocking of the bootloader? Wow! Must not have used a good code management system. :laugh:

You don't even need them, as it's been said. Just root KK and then go use Motopocalypse to unlock your bootloader.

Yes you can root your tablet and install mobile odin app and flash 4.4.2 rom with mobile odin in this way you will be able to upgrade without bootloader update.
I'm already rooted. I just want to test official 4.4.2 and then decide if it suits my needs better then jb.
Is there any guide how to do it right using mobile Odin? I don't want to get hard brick.

Any stock-based 4.4.2 will require the new bootloader, and once you flash it, you can't fall back to the previous bootloader. But I don't think it's a big problem - 4.4.2 works fine on N8000, and there are some even better alternative ROMs such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762418
And what about KNOX?
Does the stock KK for N8010 come with KNOX, and if so, is it possible to flash it without KNOX, or to remove/disable KNOX afterwards? Thanks.
And how to remove bloat ware apps before flashing the new kit Kat ROM?
