Will I be able to apply/receive software updates when root enabled? I am worried that I won't be able to apply google updates once root enable, is this an issue? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

If you install the simple fix here:

You can install future OTAs successfully and keep root.

Just rooting doesn't prevent updates. You just lose root and have to reapply after update.
Custom recovery means you probably need to download the update file and apply it via the recovery instead of the automatic updater.
Changing or removing system files will almost definitely prevent updates being applied.

Actually I was surprised also, but SuperSU does prevent the OTA from completing successfully.

I JUST did this. I had TWRP and rooted. I has 15J. Booted my nandroid. Downloaded the 15Q update, restarted to install. TWRP caught the stock image and flashed it.
Then I booted into 15Q. I lost root and TWRP. Flashed over TWRP through fastboot and rooted.
No issues.

hi sfhub, do I need to do
fastboot oem unlock
before doing
fastboot boot twrp.img ?
I've been rooted since day one and gotten ota updates fine.
I use twrp and just make sure to flash supersu each time and call it good. Not a single problem on my end.
Even still if you bork it just flash factory image. It's pretty simple to get out of a pinch. But rooting and ota should work fine as long as you keep stock image. Just reflash supersu each time and you're good to go.

If you aren't already unlocked then, yes.
Most people will already be unlocked though if they are rooted.
fastboot oem unlock process will force a factory reset for security purposes so backup anything important.

I haven't rooted my device yet , I am on all stock. Does 'fastboot boot' just loads the twrp image and not flash it?
How will I be able to backup stuff, are there any other options aside from titanium backup that requires root .

There are some backup apps that don't need root, but probably need to restore.
You can also try adb backup, but it may not backup 100% of your stuff.
I'm not the best person to ask on the backup as I always unlock before I do most of the software installs just so I can avoid losing customizations later on.

Thanks, I am currently backing up using adb., a non 100% backup is better than no backup at all. I hate redoing things.

Yes, very simple, just type
fastboot oem lock
I would advise against doing so unless you plan to return the unit though, as if you ever need to do stuff to your system (even factory restore) then you'd need to unlock again, which would factory reset again.

The 1.55 update doesn't appear to want to install properly for me from Google Play. Is this an issue of having the OTA fix installed?
Nevermind...i guess i needed to reboot...but, this does beg the question, is there anything related to the OTA fix that needs to be "uninstalled" in general?

How about good old TitaniumBackup? It has been updated for ICS.

Titanium backup needs root. You cannot make a nandroid backup without root/custom recovery either. Unless you found a way around the bootloader, you need to unlock it before you have root access. So, you're in a pickle.
Honestly, I'd say to just use the built in screenshot function to save what your screens look like. Rely on the Market auto-restore feature to make the restoration quicker, and set it up over again.
If you want to save your texts, use SMS Backup and Restore (free app). Save your images and vid to your computer to stick back on there after.
Good luck!
Wait a minute...
Couldn't you just flash clockwork mod through fastboot without root?
Or does fastboot only work once unlocked?
Sorry if I sound ignorant, I don't know the answer myself because I unlocked immediately. Therefore I don't know what would happen if you were to try and flash CWM via fastboot while locked.
Anyone know?

You have to unlock the bootloader in order to make changes to recovery.
With the bootloader locked, it won't let you make any changes to system image files.
On other phones, there are exploits available to trick the phone into unlocking the bootloader. On Nexus devices, all you have to do is "fastboot oem unlock"
Nothing bad will happen if you try to flash it with the bootloader locked. It'll just simply deny you the access to override the existing recovery with the one you wish to flash.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader/root the GN on the stock rom, I know this can be done, however, will it cause any problems without a custom rom?
Yes it is possible. No it will not cause problems.

No your rom will be fine and yes its just user data, ALL user data.
Photos music etc!
But ya the rom will be fine!!
Since there's no 'SDCard' on the GNex, all your user data + pics + files + anything non-ROM will be wiped. What you will get after bootloader unlock will be the same as when you first turned your phone on.
Of course, this is IF you didn't buy your phone off Google Play. There are rumors that Google Play phones don't delete user data when bootloader unlocked.
Either way, here are the steps:
(1) use an exploit to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader
(2) use backup tools to save your apps + data + user data off the phone
(3) unlock the bootloader
(4) root the phone (again, with the same exploit in step 1)
(5) restore your phone from the backups you made in step 2
*NOTE* - you will still get OTA updates even after you've done the above steps, but you will probably lose root after each OTA update and will have to wait for a new exploit, if any, before you can root again.

If you have CWM flashed, you have to manually flash the update -- it won't install over-the-air. If you want to install it over-the-air, flash back the stock recovery then accept the update.

Gnex Toolkit wasn't working because of some missing file... re-installed it and flashed the stock recovery via Gnex Toolkit (I think). Is there a way to check which recovery is running? Anyway, if it is indeed stock, I just got prompted again for the OTA JB update.. it's installing now.... fingers crossed!!!
..OK so now it rebooted... started installing, got about halfway through.. paused, then it went to the stock recovery screen and stayed with a red triangle around an exclamation point! What is happening here?!
I have now re-locked the bootloader and received the prompt for OTA again....
Still won't work for me. I've tried even flashing the stock image and it won't install at all. Actually nothing is installing.
I've never done anything to the phone besides unlocking the BL and rooting and switching to CWM. It seems to have something to do with the SD mount.. nut then again I have no idea.
Where's all the Android gurus at?

Hello XDA Developers! How are you doing?
I just got a Notification that, an update is available for my N7 2013. I guess it is the 4.4.3 one.
So, I rooted it with the Nexus Toolkit when I got the Tablet and have since then gotten around playing with Xposed (GravityBox[KK], Youtube AdAway, Instagram Downloader and AppOpsXposed).
My Questions now are the following:
Should I just OTA Update or should I take my Nexus Toolkit and use that?
Do I have to uninstall all the Xposed stuff? (everything on the latest stable version offered to me)
Is it necessary to Root again or is the Kernel still rooted afterwards?
Any resets necessary? Just a cache one?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Not exactly sure how the toolkit works to update. I don't use them since I'm not a fan of toolkits. If it just boots you into custom recovery and flashes the OTA, then you need to be stock (with Xposed Framework uninstalled). If it boots you into the bootloader and fastboot flashes the individual image files, you don't need to uninstall, but you will need to reinstall/activate the framework after booting into 4.4.3. You'll also need to re-root, unless the toolkit does that for you too after updating.

You should now be up to date, with root and custom recovery restored and all of your data intact. If you use Xposed, you'll have to install the framework again for your modules to become active.

You need to read and understand this first : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/psa-htc-policy-unlocking-bootloader-t3365986

Nope, and it as much as says so a few posts above yours.
I unlocked my device via htcdev, flashed trwp latest version and sideloaded the last beta version of supersu (2.71). These steps did the trick although some apps that require root (fstrim for example) claim I need to root the device. Rootchecker on the other hand claim my device is rooted. Main reason for me to unlock was adaway to get an almost ad free device.
