I'm rooted right now and I wonder if the latest fix update will break root... If it does, can I re root the latest version?
Thanks

OTA updates normally, at best, breaks the root access. I have heard of some cases where it bricked it. And that is assuming the update doesn't fail.
 
It is possible to reroot the update (MF1) so if you're so inclined just look through the rooting sub-forum. You may want to do a Factory Reset just for good measure.

I know that there are rootkeeper apps out there that are supposed to be able to preserve root with an update...like VooDoo OTA RootKeeper. Give that a try, after making sure that you understand how to use it.

This is what I used to root MF1 (after using Voodoo to try temp unrooting so that I could accept the OTA from MB1 - it didn't work, BTW, and ended up soft-bricking the phone, so I had to reload MB1 using Odin).
