Question is simply in the title, I haven't found a clear answer to this. I would still like to receive OTA updates, but I have a few reasons to have my device rooted as well. Does rooting at this point in time disable OTA updates? Also would it be okay to flash these OTA updates or could it potentially brick my nexus 7.
Will rooting disable OTA updates?

Just rooting? No, but an ota update will remove root.
You only run into problems after installing a custom recovery.

So if I do update my tablet via an OTA update, would I just re root it the same way I did originally?

Would everything on the tablet get erased again, or is there a way to re-root without unlocking the bootloader again and erasing everything?
As it was stated above, you can't install a custom recovery and get an OTA. At least not with a little work.

So, OTA will remove root. But will the update also remove all the modifications i've done like copying nexus.xml (file for getting unlimited photos storage) to /system/etc/sysconfig and editing build.prop?
