After rooting we loose ota update. So how can i update then? With twrp only?
What is more recommended is flashing the kdz file of the update but rooted already and most likely you can keep twrp too

I just got the official OTA upgrade from unrooted 3.2.1 to 4.0.3. (Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1)
Has anyone tried to apply the old rooting procedures to this new OS?
You should be able to use ZeroNulls method in the development thread. It works for all the ICS versions. Including the .14 leak and OTA which are the same exact.
Also next time download OTA rootkeeper app and protect root before you update and you can restore root after OTA. This only work if you OTA though. If you flash through recovery then you def have to use Zeronull. But this is the surest way to maintain root if for some reason the OTA is unrootable with adb method.
Hi, i got my nexus flo a week ago. This is my first nexus device.I have some queries. I have unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted the device.
Will that prevent me getting OTA?
Also, does having unlocked bootloader and custom recovery cause failure to update the software?
(Not just the JSS15R but future updates to kitkat as well)
Also what is the odex and deodex in this thread? which one should i flash?

Odex vs deodex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200349
If I understand well, updates will 'fail' with custom recovery, whereas the update is flashed the firmware version number shows the old version. Explained in the guides somewhere.

Unlocked bootloader has no direct negative effect on ota installs.
With an unlocked bootloader you might do further actions which can affect the ota like modify or delete /system files. You might install an enhancement like apm. Those, among others, would prevent the ota update from completing.
Now normally root by itself would not prevent an ota update, but there was an issue with SuperSU v 1.51 and earlier which did prevent the ota install from completing. This was fixed in SuperSU v1.55 and above.
Installing twrp will not block the ota.
The ota will disable root and overwrite custom recovery by default.
If you would like to prevent that behavior, the easiest way is to
copy the ota update.zip and supersu update.zip to your virtual sdcard
boot into twrp
install ota update.zip
immediately (prior to reboot) re-install supersu

Thank you for the guide, updated to JSS15R. There were no touchscreen problems for me before the update and everything is just like before even after update. Hope someone comes up with a changelog soon.

No. OTA updates require stock recovery. However, you can revert to stock recovery and unroot as you please. Also, you can flash OTA updates through TWRP once a flashable zip is made, except you have to download it and flash it manually, just like installing a custom ROM. Cheers.

I received the last update through OTA on a rooted Stock ROM with TWRP installed.
After the install was finished TWRP asked if I wanted to restore the root. All went smoothly.
To clarify.. I did not flash the ROM. I used the normal OTA update.

I believe you can on small point updates. The full update from 4.3 to 4.4 most likely won't work with a custom recovery.

you must have stock /system folder + stock recovery
you can be rooted, by if you delete some files in /system - you break your ota
new ota will be with new radio too
after ota super-su apk will be removed by the ota
---------------
i restored /system apps from sdcard before 4.3 ota and migrate very well from 4.2.2
The ota 4.3 update removed my root and Twrp. Hope 4.4 doesn't do the same. It's always a pain for me to restore root with my Windows 7 laptop. It keeps installing the wrong usb drivers which get in the way of the wugfresh toolkit access to the nexus 7. So it's no easy task for me.
If we update to marshmallow will she loose root. It's an OTA update
As far as I know if you try to do OTA update with rooted phone it won't work. You may need to flash the update in TWRP and re-root

Your phone will stuck at boot screen. It is possible that recovery won't work and you will only have the choice to flash a kd or tot file to get phone working again.. So before getting update first do unroot....
I posted a while back in February about how I was unable to install the December Security OTA Update on my XT1710-01 RETUS, but I didn't get any responses. I believe that I have learned that this is due to the fact that I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted with Magisk (however I have not flashed TWRP or a custom recovery, if that makes a difference).
It looks like some other users had this issue too, and that some of you were able to get by with flashing a different Stock ROM in to get back to Stock and then flashing the OTA update.
Is that what I need to do in order to be able to flash my OTA updates in the future? Is there any other method aside from flashing the ROMs to get the updates too install on my phone?
