I'd like to update to the official ICS update via "system updates" & would like to know the proper procedure to keep my root.

After bricking my first Maxx, I received my new one yesterday & had it rooted 15 minutes after the fedex man dropped it off. (using Matts 1.6 utility)
This time around I have NOT installed boot/safe strap.
The only installed apps requiring a root are, Titanium pro, voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, Root explorer, also root checker.
Root have been verified, su backup has been verified, NO logwrapper.bin has been verified.
Also I have never strayed from the stock rom.

Is this possible to do with what I have?
Do I just simply goto rootkeeper, select "temp, un-root" then update?

I did not root until after the ICS OTA... but from what I've read that sounds correct, temp un-root, get OTA, then you should be able to start Rootkeeper and get your root back... or you could wait for someone else to chime in.

Hopefully someone will, not doubting your word, just need to be positive this time ;)

WOO HOO! :D
Worked perfectly!
Did a final check on root/unroot, had an issue with Titanium not having root access before the update. But that was cured with an uninstall/reinstall of the license.
All good, root restored, apps all there & working :cool:
