If I update would it take my root away or reset anything?

So my phone is in the middle of downloading the Lollipop update. I really don't want to take it. Will it automatically update or will it prompt me to accept the upgrade? I'm currently on 4.4.4 and not rooted. I know I could root and use TB to freeze the update program but I'm not ready to do that just yet. Is there another way that doesn't involve rooting?

In the past, it has prompted you and then it goes ahead with it anyway at a certain point. There's no way to block without root afaik unless you want to wipe your phone.
I ended up wiping. Won't make that mistake again. FYI. OTA works with H2O SIM.
If you look at the screenshot, I'm stuck waiting 1487 hours. I have already tried deleting the AT&T Software Update app but nothing. Is there any way to reset it?
-BTW this happened after resetting the date & time to check for the Lollipop update
I notice on my phone that there is a software update coming thru. Wanted to know if this update will effect my chances of rooting in the future? Is this a good update? Should I update?
There is root now for PE1
The new update is PF2.

The PF2 update shows security patch level is July 1 on my phone.
yes, you are correct. I thought I took the update but the update failed. Don't know why.
Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message.
If anyone can let us know if root is still available after the update, that would be awesome!
Was able to root SGS7 on PF2 using guide on XDA Vz S7 Forum...
"Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message."
Try to install Smart Switch and update using it. I updated successfully by doing that.
Root works fine on PF2, I took the update and then rooted with no issues. Just use the general debloat script not the VZW specific one. However I had to use the samsung/verizon software to install the update, the OTA kept failing at 32%
I just started to receive messages yesterday that AT&T is pushing an update to my phone. I don't want to install it because I don't know how it will affect my root status. I'm still on stock ROM, but rooted and de-bloated. Anyone know if this is safe to install? Has anyone with root accepted it?
Silently got this update pushed to mu phone because I forgot to freeze software updater in Tibu. Luckily the update failed. I do not know if it was because I had done the v15 fixes mod/pack, or because of root, but I got lucky.
I would not update period, until somethind is released to keep, or reroot. If I am not mistaken, updates have a kernel in them, so it would over write the engineer kernel.
My bet is ATT did something to block flashing the kernel back.
Good call, I'd better not update. I connected WiFi and it just downloaded the whole package and kept on my bar asking me to update. I just froze the AT&T Software Update too, all better.
It's the pg1 update and the engboot kernel still works for root.

I had update option on my s7 edge just above about phone option.
I decided to root my phone so i could mod gamrs and use gltools to attempt to play nvidia shield games on my phone. Root method screwed up my data connection and wouldnt save my wifi info after reboot so i removed the root and reflashed stock firmware pl6 or whatever with odin
Now i dont have an update option anymore. Cannot update prl. Profile. Software updates and no longer have activation option on menu so im ****ed.
What can i do?
Got firmware from here edge/how-to/firmware-g935p-pe1-official-sprint
Nevermind
