[Q] OTA updates on rooted XOOM

[terrapin69]

do I in fact need to unroot to get OTA updates or will accepting these simply unroot the device?

you need to unroot and lock ur bootloader and update if ur rooted it wont ever install it

You need to flash the stock files, but you do not need to lock the device to update. If you wait a few, I'm sure a rooted update will come out.

A friend tried the OTA with his rooted Galaxy Nexus and it soft bricked it. He spent almost a day getting it back to normal. I wouldn't recommend doing this with a rooted Xoom.

I tried it, just to see what kinda mess it would make. it simply halted on reboot

A rooted XOOM will not update because of custom recovery. If you have original Boot / Recovery (stock) the update will work flawlessly. Root will not be lost upon update.
