Unroot or OTA Android 5.0 With No Problem?

I rooted with Towelroot but did nothing else. Will this prevent me from getting the OTA Android 5.0 update, when and if it comes available?
Thanks!

Once you root and alter system an OTA will never work.

I have rooted the altered some files then unrooted and OTA worked perfectly

Yes sorry I didnt add that ota is possible if you unroot the device. Ota isn't possible while rooted. Also I wouldn't expect 5.0 for a few months if at all. Verizon does updates so slow.

How do I unroot when I only have access to a Macbook Pro? Odin and stuff like that are Windows only.

Mobile odin

I looked at Mobile Odin, bought it, and ran it. Says device is not supported (SM-N900V : Verizon Note 3)!
Any other suggestions?

Almost all android phone can connect to a pc. Buy an old xp unit just for your phone flashing uses.

How to update rooted Note 4?

Hi guys, hopefully I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there anyway to update my Note 4 to 5.1.1? OTA doesn't work.

Download "OTA updates" app for rooted devices on the app store

go to sammobile to download official 5.1.1 and use odin to flash update

Since you've rooted it works that no longer update via Kies or OTA . As has already written the previous SamMobile download the appropriate software and flash itself

Not familiar with your model, but I am pretty sure that if you flash stock MM in Odin you'll lose root anyway. You can of course root later.

Help with nougat update

I'm on a stock rooted s7 6.0.1 build version PE1. I have not been able to take any ota updates because anytime I click on the system update in settings, it freezes and closes the settings app. Is there a way to update to nougat with odin? Do I need to do a factory reset? Will I lose root?

FYI, anytime you are running a rooted phone, you're going to loose OTA system updates.
