Hi,
I just unlocked my bootloader and I wasn't sure if I would still get OTA updates on the phone. If not, can I relock the bootloader and keep root access?

For OTA to work, phone must be stock!

Does relocking the bootloader disable root acces?

Having an unlocked bootloader is fine, not having the correct recovery or the stock ROM is what causes it not to work.
I have an unlocked bootloader and have just updated using the OTA an hour ago.

That's incorrect.. i guess you dont have an unlocker bootloade, or you're lying
If you use the official unlock method, you can't update via OTA.

That is not incorrect, my bootloader is unlocked via the unofficial method. OTA updates work fine this way and always have done.
I have recently gone back to stock from CM13 by flashing over TWRP with the stock recovery image and then sideloading the stock ROM via ADB, this was about five days ago. I received the update notification this morning and it ran correctly, like it always does.
If you have used the official method to unlock bootloader then you should already know that OTAs probably will not work as this was stipulated in the terms of using the official method.
For 550

Yes you would since flashing it would remove your root. If you are rooted you aren't getting OTA updates anyway.

Sorry I misread your post, for some reason I saw you are rooted. Just use the dload method and everything will be fine I've used the dload method every update and still getting OTA updates and stuff, that's all okay.

Everything on the video
Yep. That's basically how I did mine when I heard sammobile announced the news.
I'm on AT&T-locked N20U.
Would flashing with ODIN work for me?

Yes = Network/Carrier locked.
I successfully unlocked my phone yesterday (unlock code obtained from AT&T). I'm hoping that I can sneak into the unlocked update.
