Or do I have to root and acquire an update another way?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can root after the OTA update. I rooted mine after doing the update with the Root Kit (see Dev section).
OK thank you!

FYI, Nexus devices are never locked down. You are always free to unlock the bootloader, root it, and do whatever you like. You can take any and all updates without fear of losing anything.

My friend rooted his Note a while back then has accepted the OTA. The OTA has failed obviously but Root no longer there. Should I just re-root for him to get root again or is there anything else I shoukd do?

Better flash new ROM (same you got with OTA) and then Root it, just to avoid dead lock.
Cool cheers man

rooted ,and oat sucessfully

I think it would be best if everyone who got ota could create new thread like this to make more fun to find something you need, lol.
As to op, yes ota does unroot so you have to flash superSU via recovery (please google) and you should gain root access again and then you can use again all the apps that require root.

I disagree, I think it would be better if everyone made a new forum. Then it would be even more fun.
I also received the ota using the framework trick.

You must be rooted to be able to Safestrap. I haven't gone through the Razr JB upgrade threads but I hope Rootkeeper works becuse I would not want to wait for a root method to be discovered.

To be on the safe side I would root then use OTA Rootkeeper, you may have to wait a while to get root and it will drive you crazy.
Did that on my tablet updating from ics to jb and install kept failing. Ill safely update then work on root myself. Rest assured all goes well and someone doesnt beat me too it i will be posting.

When using vodoo... does one have to simply click protect root and then update or is there more to it...
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
To successfully maintain root and install the OTA do the following
Root Phone
Install VooDoo OTA RootKeeper
Update SuperUser binaries (from within the SU app
Open VooDoo and "Protect Root"
Then tap on "Temp Unroot"
Install OTA
Install VooDoo
Restore root
So... I forgot to do all this... I hope there is a root for jb coming soon still have su just no root...

I didn't think the current version of Kingo Root worked for MJ5. I know Kingo Root is suppose to be releasing a version 2 of their root method... Been searching for a way to root MJ5 as well after mine auto updated, making me lose root...:crying:

On page 98 of root de la vega designgears posted a universal root method for when a new firmware drops. Haven't personally tried it yet though

I am rooted with Kingo and MJ5, working fine. I did have to re-root after the OTA update though.

I was rooted with Kingo before OTA. Unrooted to get uodate. Then rerooted. Took about 10 times for Kingo version 1.1.2 to recognize my phone but it finally worked.

i heard kingo has a malware?
Well from what I understand people thought that because of the imei being sent out. However this is not 100% reliable.... I am going to attempt to root with kingo again myself.

Just rooted with kingo about 30 mins ago so far no issues although the process was kind of iffy. Seems like it just keeps trying different methods until its rooted. It never even got to the screen that said I was rooted I just opened supersu after like the 3rd time and I was rooted so I just unplugged it.
Edit: by the way I had to use a USB cord from my note 2 the 3.0 cable didn't work at all.

I couldn't root via Root De La Vega. I actually bricked and had to odin the stock PIT back to the phone. I then found out is was because I was on MJ5, I downloaded Kingo, hooked up the phone and it rooted it painlessly. Thanks Kingo!
Thank You!
Like some of you guys, i was able to root with Kingo version 1.1.2
Thank You!
I also was finally able to get root using Kingo. Ended up having to use a different computer and a usb 2.0 cable, instead of the 3.0 cable that came with the phone. Now I can stop debating on wether or not to return my Note 3. :good:

I believe that since its more or less a universal method one click it has to figure out what device you're using. Thus why it appears to keep trying. And yeah the you're rooted screen took a bit to come up when I did it the 2nd time

Seen this app that can root phone easily without downgrading and any hard stuff that most of us don't want to risk so can anyone update that app so that it can root our 4.4 kit Kat update
Sent from my C6602 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. It doesn't work like that. A new exploit has to be found to root KitKat. It isn't just a matter of updating existing tools.
