I have a rooted Desire X with CW recovery and today I got a notification that 4.1 is available for install. Are there any problems when updating while having a rooted device? Will my root privileges stay? I heard that some devices cannot be rooted after an official update so I just want to be sure.
Apart for not being able to update officialy with rooted device, no

Even if its just the stock rom with root privileges? And if you can't root after JB.. how do you root at all?
for update you need stock everything, I am sure jb can be rooted as easily as ics
i think no
I think you need only to relock bootloader if you are on stock...and rooting jb is easy and there is a guide somewhere in the forum

And there are many other posts in Q&A of one x forum. See through them.
You have to have a stock recovery to install any official ota)
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.
with the at&t version of the htc one getting the 4.3 update today..im guessing it will be a bad idea doing the ota update if you still want root and unlock bootlaoder? im currently on stock no root 4.1.2 right now. i was thinking of rooting and unlocking my bootlaoder..

Neither should be a problem after accepting the ota, rooted leaks have been out for a while, and I doubt that anything updated from the ota interferes with the unlocking process.

Hi,
I'm looking for a little help please. I have an international HOX X+ (on O2 ) that I unlocked and rooted using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910&goto=newpost
At the time I did not want a ROM installed, just root so thats all I did. Since the release of Android 4.2.2 I wanted to get that installed, clearly the OTA update will not work with TWRP installed and I tried the Insertcoin 5.0.5 ROM, as that has all I need. But it simply fails with unable to load zip. (iirc)
Soo, I want to get my phone back to stock image - no twrp so that I can perform the OTA update and then re-root. Is this possible?

Thank you very much Ghand0ur. I shall stick my head into this now...
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.
