Root RE-Rooting after OTA update question.

Hi. Sure there's a simple answer, but my brain's not in the zone today!

So, I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 using Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit with no problems...then the latest OTA update from Google popped up on my tablet and like an idiot I installed it; result....loss of root!!!

My Nexus is still unlocked but not rooted.
Is it possible to re-root with no loss of data?

Thanks.:D
 
Yes, no problem at all, just use the Wugs Toolkit again making sure you set the correct new Android version of course :-)

It's the unlocking that zaps user data; rooting itself is data-friendly.
