OTA update with root?

Is a OTA update on a Nexus 5 safe with root, or would it be safer just to flash the update?
Also, does anyone no the date of 4.4.3 in the EU?

Need help to return to stock.

I want to update my s3 to the new 4.4 that Verizon just released. I have the message about the new update but every time I try to update the phone gets the triangle and the message. Is there anyway that I can go back to stock with out using a computer?

Verizon has no update for the GS3 to 4.4. The version now is 4.3.

[Q] Nexus 5 - Sideloading OTA via ADB

I'm new to the advanced features on Android. I am bored of waiting for 4.4.3 to be pushed via OTA to my Nexus 5.
So i was wondering if I side load the OTA zip via ADB with my locked boot-loader. Will side-loading the OTA prevent my Nexus 5 from receiving any further OTAs such as 4.5(or the next future version)? And is it safe?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

you are safe and secure good to go!

So it won't prevent me from getting the OTA via the normal source?

Wait or flash US retail.

Will being rooted with custom kernel and recovery stop me receiving the update?

might not stop you receiving it but you won't be able to install it.
You won't receive the uk version yet anyway, it hasn't been released.

Error when updating to 5.1.1?

Hello everyone. I get this error after I hit the update. Is it because I'm rooted?
Anyone else having this problem?

Dude, can your question be any more vague? No one can answer you with so little information.

What else am I to say other than I am stock rooted? But I think it's clearly because the system folder is corrupted. I just wanted to confirm myself. But in other occasions I got updates while being rooted with no problems.

You can't patch a modified system partition. You have to flash it from the factory image.
