I installed the update manually as I was tired of waiting for it to come. Can I still root following the methods in stickies ?
yes, you can still root.
If I want to unroot, do I just flash the v3 leak like I did a few months ago and have it all back to stock for VZW?

I'm looking to root my phone later. Is it safe to apply the OTA update that they will push us to do on the 23rd?
Do not accept OTAs.
Always. No exceptions.
Live by this rule and you will have the best chance at getting root and no chance of losing. Period.

I would always wait to see if the dev's post that its safe to. I updated my EVo when it first came out and never could get root after that. Now that i have the EVO3d and root. I never updated untill i got the update from a dev.
So i would say no.
+ 10000! The hboot 1.50 that comes with the OTA closes the exploit that was used to gain root.
Why not root now and just flash the stock ROM with the updates included? On this last update, Devs had it ready to flash for root users (minus the hboot) before I even got notification of the update on my phone.

As someone else mentioned root now and then flash a rooted version of the OTA. OR if you update now without root you can always root via HTC method later. Either way you root itll void your warranty.
Don NOT ACCEPT any OTA UNLESS you have S-Off.
with S-Off you can still save yourself if you flash an OTA, i would S-off and Root your device now then apply the ODEX 2.3.4 that's already been posted in the forum.
Their is no guarantee that 2.3.4 will be rooted soon

If you use the ota root keeper (2 apps that I know of on play) it will temp unroot your phone then restore root after update.
Short answer, no, as you are right now, just use one if the ota root keeper apps on play store.

WHY do the ota the just wait probably not even a day one of the great devs will have a working build based off the ota soon. you will probably have to wait for the kernel since it does not seem likely moto will release source at the same time.
To get an OTA you need to be stock release.
You can be rooted but you cannot remove any bloat that you could not have removed without root.
So if the Golf game is missing, that is okay. If VZNav is missing, the OTA won't install.
So if you are on any custom ROM, the OTA will fail.
If you don't have the stock recovery, the OTA will fail.
If you have removed bloat, by being rooted, the OTA will fail.
If I root the HTC One on the stock rom well I still get the OTA updates from T-Mobile?

I swear this type of question must be asked in every thread. Try SuperSu and do some research for upgrading and keeping root. Rooting has been around for a while and there are ways around this. Honestly though why do people root if they want to get factory updates. You do realize that a factory updated rooted version would be out before or shortly after an official release is out....
OTA update and a rooted phone is not a big deal... Jus sayin
To answer your question directly...if you have stock recovery then yes. If you have custom recovery then no.
search next time but...
stock rom with root yes you will get updates.
If you have a custom recovery it may not flash.
I flash the tmobile ota ( the .28 one) with clockworks and all was fine.
So, this morning I accidentally accepted the 4.3 OTA update. I know I can't install any custom roms because of the locked bootloader I now have. Are there any stock roms I can install?

You are on the stock rom. What you have is what you get. You can root and use xposed framework for some things, but that's it.

Kingo root is what I used to get root access it also provides an unroot option.
So I used saferoot to root back at the 4.3 update; however, overnight one night my phone decided to install the tiny update Verizon pushed that kept 4.3 but took away root. Now I am trying to update to 4.4.2 via OTA update but it continuously fails...Since I've lost root already, I'm looking for a way to manually install the 4.4.2 update (knowing I won't have root access..but I don't know so...) or revert back to an 4.3 so I can root again with safestrap...
Can anyone offer any insight on either of these options? I'd probably prefer to revert to 4.3 and have root over 4.4.2 without....

If you're on 4.3 w/o root, you can follow this thread and regain root. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752360
I haven't see anyone post 4.4.2 yet to manually flash if the download fails. I'm the same boat there. Give it a few days and I'm sure someone will post it.
Thanks

Thanks, I actually came across that post just a bit ago (apparently gave up on finding an answer a bit early, sorry). One other question though, if and/or when someone posts 4.4.2, is there a way to update manually and maintain root access? Or is root lost once it's updated in any way?

The only way you'd be able to get root is if someone finds a root exploit for this specific device and 4.4.2 (assuming you're on 4.3 with a locked bootloader already).
If you don't have a locked bootloader, then you can flash custom 4.4.x roms with root.
But if you are on a custom rom with an unlocked bootloader and you ODIN to the stock Verizon 4.4.2 that rolled out yesterday, you'd get a locked (possibly permanently) bootloader and a potentially un-rootable 4.4.2 rom.
