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

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.

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...

So now I'm getting notification of software update.... I'm scared to accept it and brick my phone.... Is it safe to accept the software or no?

I wouldn't ever flash an ota update. If you want to update just download rom from sammobile and update with pc odin.

Hey I am rooted and I did all the the steps before checking for an update. When I do it says my phone is up to date. So I changed the date on the phone and same thing happens. Any Ideas on how I can get the update?

Are you rooted with M1 build? I didn't get the update as well so I flashed mine back to M9 build and I get the update right away.
I am on the m1 build and do you have root now that you have the update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I am also on m1 build and no update! I'm guessing this is why!

Do you know how, if at all, to update?
Is the update going to hinder root or future dev progress?

No. I don't have root anymore. The reason I rooted was to do sim unlock. After went back to M9 and got new update, mine is still sim unlocked. So, all is good for me.
I'm downloading m9 as I type! I will upgrade and root using Dg's method then hopefully ota will come

Ok so I should upgrade to m9 and then re root or could I just put super su in survival mode and Odin m9 on my phone?

You need to download root DE LA Vega Ml9 package and flash it just like you flashed ml1 then make sure you install Supersu pro and check survival mode and uncheck enable superuser then reboot now you will be okay to take the ota!
