OTA UPDATE when ROOTED?

[Emompong]

Greetings to all,

Before my question, I am currently running at this specification:

Model C903
Android version : 4.2.2
Firmware : xxxxx .257
Rooted? : YES
No CWM installed. Stock kernel and Rom.

I would like to ask if it's okay to update OTA while I'm rooted? the reason I didn't update before is because I might lose my game data/progress if I was just going to flash a fresh stock ROM, update and root - restore the game data using TBP.

I once experienced it that restoring app data from different android version isn't possible, got nothing to do but stopped playing that game.

Now, i guess my software version is really outdated so I am asking here for some help.I am thinking that updating OTA will best ensure my game data but i do not know if there's any side effect in updating OTA while being rooted because I cannot afford to re-flash a fresh FW atm.

Thank you in advance.

My Z1 was rooted when i get it new (T-mobile branded).

If you update OTA then your Android device will be unrooted.

If you want to have a uptodate rooted Android, then disable ota updates, and check if their is a updated rom that is rooted or that can be rooted, and use rom manager to flash that. (keep in mind to be sure you use the right rom, otherwise you brick your Android device).
