As I said in the title. I want to root my optimus 4x but I still want to update my phone via OTA, so if I root it, will i be able to update it via OTA?
And if not, will unrooting with SuperSU help? Can anyone answer this for me, please? Thanks in advance!
As far as you stay with your original stock rom, you're still eligible for OTA updates.
I have a rooted 9.1.B.0.411 fw on my tx!
Got root and superuser installed!
Ive got a notification for OTA update to 9.1.B.1.67!
Can i keep root via OTA rootkeeper? Has anyone tried it?
I try update via OTA and rooted, it rooted...

Hi all,
I have a few questions that burn me. Just received the OTA notification that .569 is available (304.4 MB)
I am running .67 with stock recovery, root and phone encryption. Will those be preserved if i OTA update ?

AFAIK root is lost and recovery is rewritten. I don't use phone encryption but I guess it is ok (or it would be stupid of Sony).
My experience has always been that OTA updates break root, and most of the time you wont be able to get it back until there is an exploit for the new firmware
4.3 OTA update will take away root and you will be unable to root under 4.3 directly.
You have to use the root methods shown as below(root under 4.2-flash another recovery-flash pre-root 4.3).

OTA left my root as it is. Check my post, how I did it:

This was the first OTA that broke my root, even with supersu in survival mode.
I updated ota from 4.2 to 4.3 and kept root.

If i have UB and root can i update my phone via OTA? Or should i unroot and then i will be able to update?
I don't think you can do OTA update on UB.
And on root. I can't update OTA rooted phone...

I am currently on lollipop 5.0.2 and rooted and I got ota update notification. Does upgrading ota leads to root access loss. And how is this update treating you?
Yes, just root via methods shown elsewhere or own preferred method ..... It's great.
