if update you will loose root access

If you still want the OTA, i believe you can still get it but you will lose root access

hi
root is not necessary only if you need it , for flashing you need custom recovery (twrp) and rom
from the thread
Installation instructions
I only support the latest TWRP recovery, AT&T users must loki after flashing
-Full wipe
-Flash ROM
-Reboot

You should root because only then you would be able to back up EFS, and EFS backup is very recommended before you Flash anything custom.

1. Question about Recovery? Try this ONE.
2. Question about root? Yes, you should use cf-auto root.

Is the 5.0.2 update available for your region ? If it is I would suggest you use Kies to backup and do the update. I'm having severe issues upgrading and I think it is because I have a custom recovery TWRP and the phone is rooted.

Hey I seen that cwm was not available anymore for 530FZ all links dead, someone have the .img or .tar because i'm actually using twrp 2.8.7.0 thanks in advance.
