Usually fails because of a modified build.prop. Root doesn't matter.

I've rooted my razr but I accidentally did a system update and now it seems I've lost my root. Superuser and bionic bootstrapper is still there. I've check using root checker my busybox is install OK but not my root. I've try rerooting using doomlords ver. 1-4 but still unable to get root back. Please Help. Mine is XT910 Asia version. Thanks for any help given.

If you can't reroot, you'll have to downgrade again and become familiar with an excellent little app called OTA Rootkeeper.

If u're on 65.1.21.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 there's no way to root for now. U should go back to 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03. I'm not try yet, but you can see here how it goes:

OTA Rootkeeper works exactly as the name implies, it 'keeps' root during OTA updates. You can't root most recent RAZR OTAs directly, you have to downgrade, root again, preserve root with OTA Rootkeeper, and upgrade back to the latest OTA.
So, yes and no.
At this moment I have stock rom, but rooted. Will I be able to get the JB update when it'll come out? Will I lose the root? Will it be a problem?

Yes you can OTA update, yes you will loose root but you shouldn't have any issues. You will be able to re-root in a matter of seconds using CF root or the toolkit.
Once more your OTA update may fail during install on a rooted rom .
Multiple posts report update failed .

If it fails ota you should have no issues with kies. I have had to do this for 2 of the 3 ota updates I have received so far. This will also lose root though.

Ok, thanks for the answers! I'll root it soon... :good:
Hello guys
I just wanted to ask: does rooting my device affect software update by any means?
I mean, for example, will the OTA service be lost? And if not, will the coming update make my device lose its root?
Thank you.
You will Still be able to update through OTA, kies, Odin but when you update you will loose root and have to reroot.

If you root and then change your ROM to a customer one, then you will loose the Samsung OTA Update Support.
Once more .
Root may see OTA update fail to install.

Hi,
I have root my I9205 after I bought it three months ago. (I just root it nothing more)
Now I want to upgrade the stock rom (coz there are some minor problems)
Will I be able to upgrade the Stock ROM (OTA) after unrooting my I9205??
Anything else I need to consider??
Many thx!!
Have you tried OTA yet?? Even being rooted???

AFAIK OTA after rooting is not possible. Phone has to be 'virgin' stock to have possibility to upgrade by OTA.
Just flash the latest stock Rom, this will update and unroot all in one go.

Thx brother I will give it a try!
I've tried getting the OTA update and i keep getting an error. I do have root, but that shouldn't stop me from installing it right? I should just lose root once it is installed i believe. What could be the problem? Thanks for the help.

use the update guide (found here) and install it with ss. if not you will loose root and there is no known 4.4.2 root method for the gs4. if you dont care about root flash the mk2 odin file (found here) and take the update.
Thank you so much
