I've seen a few mentions if this, but never a straight answer (sorry if I just missed something similar to my post.) After a root, what is needed to perform an OTA update? (given that Samsung's eventually comes out) Will I need to unroot? Will it just work? I'm a noob for android, coming from WM.

From what I've read, and been told, just simply un root, and perform the OTA!

Also forgot to add this: if I unroot, will I still have my unlocked market sources? (Ability to sideload, w/e you call it...)

You do not need to unroot to recieve OTA updates. However when you recieve one it will unroot on it's own. Yes you will remove your unlocked market access, I am fairly certain that you need to be rooted to use this. I could be wrong about the later. There aren't any OTA updates at the moment so don't unroot prematurely. Just keep and eye on the forums and you will know when an OTA update is available and what you should do from there.
I've been keeping my eyes out, but thanks for the heads up. If I lose non-market access, will it uninstall my third-party apps?

your apps will stay as they've already been installed..
Another quick question here, can you just unroot if you're using a different kernel (SRE) to get the OTA patch?
Thanks
Until we get a push it's hard to know if it'll work or not. Stay tuned to xda, I am.

Any word on the effects of updating to 2.2 ota with root. Will it brick us? Kill root?

Ain't even seen a real 2.2 image yet. How are we going to know what it will effect?
Thanks for the attitude little boy. ..

Birdman says that they were rolling it out possibly today, so i don't see why his question is not valid.
His question is typically invalid due to the small numbers of people claiming to be getting 2.2 update.
His question is valid because we should no from other android phones getteing updates while they were rooted! The answer it no, it will not brick your phone, but it is a 50/50 chance if it will stay rooted or not, in this cause it will lean toward the unrooted side I would imagine!
Would I need to reinstall the Verizon apps that I removed/backed up after rooting before updating to 2.2?
More than likely, the .604 update requires that those apps are present
Just receive notification for an update for flash player. I am running rooted 2.2 stock from rom. Manager. Does updating broke anything?
Depends on how you are rooted the flash/others update breaks some of the root methods

From what I have been seeing it breaks the "1 click" type roots you got from installing an app. You can get root back but until a new exploit is found you will have to do it the "hard" way (push custom recovery and then root via update.zip)
This update also enables Exchange Policies, allowing your Exchange server to be set as a Device Admin and force policies down. It is a non-event if you do not link to a corporate email system.
Thanks for the info. But is there any way to stop it poping up every other minute.?
Ok i have a droid1 and the x...this morning i received this notification in mu droid1 so i didn't install..my question is maybe is dumb question but i will ask it... is there official froyo for droid1 cause i using froyo but i install leaked version a while ago...so is there is better than the leaked one..????

Go into settings about and see what version you have latest is frg01b I believe ... of you have anything else you can grab the latest version from rom manager . Search for it in market.

If I were to install the leaked update would it render me unable to receive the official one or others in the future? I'm also rooted and know I will need to un freeze the bloat for updates. Does it also remove root and if it does can I re root it with the same method?

For the 8 millionth time, the LEAK is the OFFICIAL OTA.
There are several posts and threads about this, look around.

You really need to read the forum rules. Mods, please take care of this thread.

This is a root I recently came across online by a dev. I'm new to android so wanted to make sure this is safe to perform on my AT&T Note 3? Any suggestions. Go to this link to see the root provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474422
check this thread your question has been answered there, i linked to the particular post
Designgears is a great dev. If he says it's safe then it's safe.

As long as you understand what you are doing at each step of instructions, it's safe. DG never goes wrong.

Agreed. I don't understand what to do hence why I have not rooted yet. Once I read and re-read all these subjects then I may give it a shot.
Does anyone know if this root method will prevent future OTA updates? I had my Note 2 rooted and had to go through hell and high water to search and install rooted/deodexed updates each time they were pushed out, as a result of rooting the device.

Rooting won't stop the updates but it will allow you to install titanium backup and freeze the services that the updates rely on.
You just have to remove the ota app. It's only an app on pretty much all android phones that actually controls ota updates.

Thanks for the responses. To clarify... I *want* OTA updates. I don't mind the stock ROMs (as long as I have root to freeze bloatware) pushed from AT&T. Note 2 rooted changed the device to "modified" and when OTA updates were available, they could not be downloaded or installed. Hence, I had to search for stock ROMs that had been rooted and deodexed.

actually.... Root de la Vega should stop ota updates already because it has a build number that samsung should never release a ota for.
I rooted with Towelroot and all is well on 4.4.2. AT&T is trying to push an update. I want to make sure I keep root. Suggestions on whether I should keep refusing the update, or if installing Voodoo OTA rootkeeper will retain my root for newer Kitkat versions, etc., would be much appreciated. Also I am contemplating how to install TWRP safely, so pointers to instructions on how to do so without breaking my new s5 would be great. Thanks as always to the awesome people on XDA who come through every time!

Don't take the update. You should use titanium backup to freeze at&t software update and the security policy update. If you don't, the update will eventually apply itself without your consent.

Thanks! I just froze those with titanium.

DO NOT try to install any CUSTOM Recovery! Only SafeStrap will work until Bootloader is unlocked. That means only T/W based ROMS can be flashed.
