Hey. So I've got a newly rooted S5 here (Exynos version). And I was wondering now that OTA updates won't function (rooted), how to get those updates ? And the consequences, Do I lose root after updating ? Can it harm the phone or anythn ?
Thanks in Advance
You've to go back to Stock firmware..
Then you'll able to receive OTA updates..

I understand. But apart from the OTA updates on the phone, There is Kies. But I'm not sure about the consequences and all.
If you update via kies you will loose your root but im not sure kies will let you update with a rooted rom.
Never used kies cause its trash

Yes it does. Update via kies, re-root via odin.

Nope, I've done it once and lost nothing, was pretty quick and straight forward actually, even kept my current settings.

and what about recovery i can install OTA updates when i have TWRP ? and if yes will i go back to stock recovery ?
I believe its been over a year since the last time I rooted my phone. TowelRoot. Since then Ive been stuck on 4.4.2. Everytime I update it stops at 25 percent then fails. Ive tried updating via kies and that too isnt any help. Kies just tries reinstalling to the new firmware over and over. Forgive me for not being so Tech savy, but I would like to know how do I fix this? Simple english and easy videos would be of big help. Im all eyes now waiting for yourreplies. Thx again for all your help.

Thats the thing. I think I was on the version before the 4.4.2 that I have now. After saying I was updated I nolonger had root access. I checked my root with root checker and it says im unrooted. Double checked with simply unroot and that too says im unrooted. Its just not updating. It always fails...

If you don't know how to use a rooted phone, why did you root it ?
If you use Odin you will lose root. If you wanna update from a rooted phone and keep root, you should buy MobileODIN (it's on Play Store). In either case, you have to download the firmware yourself.
However, where have you read that Lollipop is available?

Well, that's not a way to post a thread....as said above if you flash it with Odin you'll lose root as we as using kies, since Lollipop would require of you to wipe your data/cache before and after the update for the phone to work smooth...
is there any performance improvements in it?

How can we know when Lollipop isn't even released....
It is said to bring performance improvements but knowing Samsung I would take it with a grain of salt

Agreed.
i have note 4 N910C, and once i finished setup it, it received 2 updates from Samsung.
if i rooted it, will it receive any future updates or i have to install new ROM manually?
and is there any way to download the new updates only not the whole ROM, if i rooted it??

Yes press volume down, home button and the power button wait for the phone to reboot and quickly switch to the power up button to get into recovery mode and then wipe data

Yes you can, get the firmware you need and use the moded Odin that you downloaded to flash eng boot. It won't work with official Odin as far as I know.

Should work. I just used the modded odin to restore G930TUVS3APD8, as i was having severe issues with the rooting process. resetting up my phone now..
I can confirm FRP-Unlock isn't needed. I rooted with no frp-unlock, I just had to factory reset my phone when it got stuck on the tmobile splash.
Good to know
Can someone confirm the following?
1- does SamsungPay Still work after root?
2- Does Android Pay still work?
3- does rooting with this method trip Knox?
4- does installing Adaway break either Android or SamsungPay, or trigger Knox?

Samsung Pay and Android Pay will not work when rooted, and this method does not trip knox.
I can confirm this also works on the July security patch, PG1 firmware.
