If I root my Asus Transformer, will I still get and install the manufacture updates? I have an Asus Eee Pad Transformer which I recently upgraded to 4.1 Jelly Bean from the manufacture.  If I were to root my device, will I still be able to get updates from the manufacture?

Its great that Asus has been so great about keeping such an old device up to date, but it makes me more apprehensive about making changes like rooting.  I need to root it to change the hardware keyboard to the dvorak layout.  I still need to find if I can even root it after I've upgraded to 4.1.
When you root your device you're gaining administrator access to it (root). Nothing more nothing less.

So, unless you install a third party ROM, you will continue to receive updates and be able to use the source code you download. One small issue, updates may unroot your phone if you install them.
