If your not sure you should freeze it with titanium back up.
Check in about phone. If you are running lg1, that is the one that removed search. Lem is the release version. If you are running lem, just install/run voodoo ota root keeper from the market. Root retained. If your running lg1, idk what the update is for. Do a nandroid backup, flash to stock and update if you want to know that bad.
Got the same update notice this morning. Phone is rooted. Tried to install but it failed. Didn't brick it.
Must have stock (3e) recovery for it to work.
Hello
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II and installed CWM for the recovery. I am also running a stock ROM. There is a new OTA update, and before I am going to do it, quick question: when I update, will I still have root access or will it break it somehow? I'm running the Stock 4.1.1
Flash stock recovery..so u can get ota then just root again..rooting takes 3 seconds

The update did not work for some reason. Is there anything else that would need to be changed in order for the update to work?
U have stock recovery?

Hello,
I too had root, CWM recovery and stock ROM on my note 2 and was able to successfully take the OTA update to 4.1.2 and retain root access. I obviously have a stock recovery now after the upgrade but root is still present! I did have SuperSU (paid for version) that has the Survive OTA update mode and it worked like a charm! One thing to note is that it was not obvious at first that root was retained.
Immediately after the update, my root access failed when trying to use Titanium backup. Also, other apps requiring root access were failing as well. So, I went into SuperSU and ticked the "enable Super User" mode off and then on again and rebooted the phone.
After the reboot I noticed that Titanium Backup had root access and then verified the rest of my apps were working as well.
Three cheers to the creators of these wonderful programs.....I'm very glad I paid for the updates and got the added functionality!!
Good luck to all and hopefully it works as well for you as it did for me!!
I am rooted and received the OTA notification could I do the update without un-rooting or should I un-root using Wug?
Thanks

Give us more details....
Which version are U? Only rooted or modded?

If you are rooted then why would you want to update with ota?

Presumably, if it keeps root like he is asking, it'd be quicker for him to accept the update on his phone than go to a computer, download the update and then install from there.
What I meant is that if he is rooted then he can flash any version of android on his phone and doesn't need to update with ota

Rooted doesn't mean he has a custom recovery and can flash easily.
So in this case ota is easier.
And ota updates really are updates, which means you don't lose your data.
You can take the OTA. I took the update and didn't have to have stock recovery. I had to restore a backup of completely stock 4.1.1 because an audio mod was making the update fail. CWM also has a protect root option after the update and will allow you to switch back to stock recovery if you want.

I'm pretty noob at rooting and flashing. I have everything stock with rooted UVDLJC. I did so by flashing a root66 stock rom via odin and that's pretty much the only method I know. I looked around the forum and can't seem to find a root66 of MD5 and T-mobile seems to be pushing the MD5 to my device soon and don't want to lose root. So what's the easiest method to update to the latest update with root?

If you are totally stock except for Root (that means stock ROM with no mods, Stock kernel and Stock recovery), then all you have to do is go to the market and get OTA Rootkeeper, install it and preserve Root. Once you get the OTA notification, go into OTA Rootkeeper and Hide Root, accept OTA and reboot. Fire up OTA Rootkeeper and Restore Root. All your data will be preserved and you will have MD5 with Root.
Or if you are not totally stock, then you can back up your apps with Titanium and flash (with a custom recovery, of course) the MD5 Rooted ROM in the Dev section.
Thanks! I'm on total stock. Will try that and see how that goes.

I updated via kies lost root then obtained root by installing custom recovery via Odin then flashing superuser via recovery. This way its the same as an ota upgrade which preserves all your apps. I was also on stock rooted with custom recovery before the upgrade.

Check out mobile odin too. It makes everything but full sys backups a total breeze!
One of my all time favorite apps!
