Superboot, OTAs, and Manual Updates

[ibejack96]

I know that for the Nexus S and Nexus 4g (and possibly the Nexus One before that), if you were rooted, you wanted to wait for a rooted version of the latest update to get the latest software version. However, if I root my Galaxy Nexus with superboot, can I just install OTAs/regular updates without losing root (since the boot image is the root access)? I'm probably wrong, just correct me if I am
Thanks.

Good question, I'd like to know this too.

From what Ive herd, unlocking the bootloader and rooting your phone only, will not stop you from getting OTA updates. Look more into it though. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it from XDAs instructions and I remember it said you will still get OTA updates. I do know all the other Android phones Ive rooted, I was able to get OTA updates. So you should be good as long as you dont install something like "Root Explorer" and then start deleting sytem applications.

Apparently getting OTA updates depends on how you unlock and root.
