Updating OTA after rooting.

Big4570 said:

I've been thinking about rooting my G2 for bluetooth sixaxis support but intend on updating too kitkat when it is released.

I'm aware I would loose my root access but will I be able to update OTA once the update arrives? Or will restoring the phone be required?

As mentioned a zillion times, accepting OTA with root or custom recovery is a one way street to Bricksville

Not really. I'm rooted and have tried to take Sprint's OTA a couple times. It just seems to fail and reboots normally, no changes.

So after rooting there's no way to go back to entirely stock LG ROM for OTAS in the future?

Perhaps not advisable just in case.......however, if you are completely stock including stock recovery but you have rooted you can install an ota successfully. At least it worked for me. I received an ota notice whilst on 10a (and whilst very drunk) and whilst rooted stock and it updated successfully to 10f. Also, my root was still in tact.
I wouldn't advise to try this until it has been clarified by someone of greater knowledge than myself however. At the moment, many are of the opinion that this may brick your device. If I had have been sober, I wouldn't have tried this and it may just be the case that I have been lucky.
