I am a kind of noob so that I was looking for the easiest way of rooting.
I was rooted via Zergrush, stuck with stock rom and all bloatwares frozen via Titanium backup.
Today, I got a OTA update message. I thought I would lose root after OTA,
so I deleted all the apps that need SU permission except Titanium Backup.
Update was no problem. Rom was updated to 2.3.6 and I got Wifi Calling.
But I still have SU and Titanium backup working, all bloatwares are frozen.
Is this normal? or I just got lucky?
yeah i still have Superuser on my phone too after OTA but you dont have root access
down load root checker from the market and see if it says you have root.. i doubt it will
I still have root access. See the attached image.

All my bloatware is frozen as well however i lost root after updating. I cannot fathom that your phone properly updated and still has root.

Lost root on mine after update.

Okay so I have an Evo 4G with a stock rom. About a week ago I rooted my phone using the unrevoked3 method. It was working great. I then decided to update the phone to 3.29 to get the fps uncapped. This unrooted the phone which I expected. I rooted the phone again using the unrevoked3 method successfully. After that I decided to unroot the phone just to know that I had the option incase I had to go back to sprint to get it replaced by flashing the 3.29 update again. After I did that successfully I rooted it again using the same unrevoked method and it's been working great the last few days. But today while I was using my phone, it somehow got unrooted and unrevoked isn't working anymore. I was using Wifi tether to connect a friends iPad to the internet for about an hour. It suddenly stopped working and the phone started getting really glitchy. So I used quickboot to reboot the phone. When it started up again all my root applications said they couldn't obtain root access. I checked the boot loader and it's still S-off. Does anyone know what could've caused this?

Not sure what caused it but try re flashing SU

Try uninstalling the superuser app. Then go to the market, download and reinstall it. See if the works.
Thanks! it worked. All my root apps are getting SU permissions again after I reflashed the SU app.

did you try flashing the su-bin ?
AS the title explains, I was running rooted ICS and did the update to JB over Kies. The root broke, I am trying to figure out the steps I need to take to put the phone back into rooted JB. SuperSU and Titanium backup are both dead - uninstalled SuperSU and went to reinstall it but it says I cant.

Just root the phone again the same way you did it for ICS.

Use the instructions on this thread to root again.
I got my C6506 yesterday and even though I had read some threads, I installed the .253 OTA before rooting. Once I had installed all my apps and had everything running I realized I need to root .434 and THEN upgrade to .253. Since I don't want to unlock my bootloader before backing up my TA, I guess I'm screwed and will have to set up everything again.
Sony's backup app is not letting me backup my apps, but I don't think it would be able to backup settings anyway, would it?

you may try the way I get updated to 253 OTA without losing root.
good luck
I did the something similar to you. I rooted 434 then updated to 253 and lost root.
I ended up downgrading to 434 using Flashtool. Then rooting 434 using the Bin4ry tool. Installed OTA Rootkeeper from Play store. Use OTA Rootkeeper to hide root. Applied 253 using OTA. Restore root using OTA Rootkeeper. The phone is now running 253 still rooted.
Then used Titanium Pro to delete user & system cache, and this seems to resolve the battery drain issue after 253 upgrade.
HI! I have spent hours reseaching and trying different files and nothing has worked. I updated a rooted 4.1.1 to 4.3 via OTA and I did get rid of the root but Super Su is still present with no root access. I tried uninstalling it via super su app but it tells me uninstall failed. I tried via the play store but it only gives me the option to update. The whole reason for doing this was because I wanted to start using the ISIS payment system but it keeps telling me my phone is rooted and ISIS won't work. I know is not rooted because Super SU doesn't have root access and I tried the root access apk and it has told me I don't have root access. I'm looking to install a tar file via odin which should get rid of any traces of Super Su or root which is preventing me to use ISIS. I never had issues getting rid of root before but this time I don't know if its because I updated via OTA but even then it should have gotten rid of Super Su and it did not. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you're using an i747m from a Canadian carrier, you could try flashing a stock 4.3 ROM.
I just recently rooted the question is will I still get the 5.0 update when it comes out

Yes you can. You will lose root.
It's not that simple. If you still have the stock recovery, and haven't deleted any of the built-in apps / bloatware, then the OTA will probably work. If you've installed TWRP, or deleted bloatware, the OTA may fail to run. Or, worst case, the OTA will attempt to install but soft-brick your phone.
It's never a good idea to accept an OTA if you're rooted. Either restore to stock, then take the OTA, or wait for a rooted version of lollipop to install. If you accept the 5.0 OTA, you'll lose root, and it could be a long time before 5.0 can be rooted on this phone.
