You will need to flash your stock firmware again first. Then flash twrp and root after. You will not receive OTA updates so when update arrives you just flash manually.

Yes that's what I've gathered now. I'm actually on stock Oreo CRAP but not had update yet probably because I'm rooted.
Where can I get latest update & will I loose root if I update?

Yeah that's true, you won't receive ota while rooted.

You can find latest stick firmware here. Latest oreo is CRC7.
If you update you will lose twrp/root. You will be fully stock.
Alternatively you can try a custom ROM

Yes looks that way but with custom Rom im just tired with full wipe when new releases are out..I guess I can't have everything
Thanks

You don't always need full wipe. You can dirty flash most updates.
Only need to wipe if it's a new base.
I rarely clean flash

I guess you are rooted and you mean updating a stock rom? By OTA or flashing with Odin?
1. OTA: enable root survival in the superSU Pro app and you should keep root after the update.
2. Odin firmware flash: Flash the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro, enable everroot and the other 2 options and you also should keep root.

I'm running rooted, stock. 4.4.2
As I understand it, .3 is the current version.
I'd like to update to .3 without losing all my guff.
Make sense?

Exactly!
No stock 4.4.3?
No worries then.
Sorry for the confusion!
what i normally do is flash a rom using desktop odin. the flash chainfires root. doesnt delete anything

[warning!!!] [psa] do not - *do not* root your phone if you want updates

A warning to all of you!
Now that T-Mobile has started soak tests for Android 5.1.1 for the S6, I went to the "Update" page in settings. I clicked update... and alas... it said my device has been modified in an "unauthorized way", and refused to update.
Hiding superuser from SuperSU's setting did nothing whatsoever. I have a custom kernel and I've rooted.
So a warning to all of you - don't root your phone if you want updates.
How is this new?

You need stock kernel briski
Odin
Stock kernel and stock recovery should be enough. Or flash the same ROM as you have on top on your current throught Odin, update and re-root. But I'm not sure that root is already available to 5.1.1
This apply to any brand root phone. No OTA will work with root phone, some more you in custom kernel.
Where could I get a stock kernel for Rogers mobile?
Actually anyone can still get ota normally if they just rooted their with everything stock kernel rom and so..

Mine was fine with OTA after rooting, if you have an issue then just flash stock recovery back and you will be good to go and still have root!

Then just re-flash stock recovery after rooting and you will be ok!!!
We all know that rooting borks the system files somehow as we all no longer have Deep Sleep after rooting so dropping stock recovery back resolved the issue for me and I no longer received the "modified" message when checking for updates. With TWRP recovery I do get the message. If that does not work for you then simply re-flash the stock rom, get your update (if any) and re-root if necessary.

Lot of conflicting info in this thread. I'm confused.
From what I understand, the latest Firmware update/OTA (OCF build, I am sprint) fixed the deep sleep issue. So if you have that build and applied root, you should still be good, right?
An if you apply root, you cant take an OTA because it modifies recovery. But you are saying if you root, then re-flash stock recovery, you maintain root and can still receive and OTA. Can someone confirm all this as accurate?

You can get it from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
I've had a quick just around but can't find any info on the negatives of rooting the s6. What functionalities do you loose by rooting this phone even if you install a modified Samsung rom? I didn't get the z3 because once rooted you lost digital rights to the hi def audio and camera processing

Updates after rooting?

So I checked that once I am rooted, I will no longer get any official updates. Is that true? Any workarounds for that?
If I am on stock rooted rom, then how will I receive updates?
Anyone?
You won't. ..that's the point of rooting...an update is likely to break the root
Do we need to freeze anything to avoid an ota before we know it's safe?
Sent from my SM-G928C
So what's the option to update after rooting? What does the general majority do?
You wait for a dev to take whatever update was released to dissect and tweak and wait for their release.

Hello. As I know you wont get OTA update, you can flash original updated firmwares via odin(downloaded from sammobile.com). At the other hand you can flash custom roms which based new firmware, your choice. Thank you.
Ok so effectively, its better to put custom Rom as they will provide updates regularly.. If I install official firmware everyone a new update comes, then again I'll have to root it separately.. That is just irritating.. So better to go to custom Rom then! Thanks!

S5 root with marshmallow

What's going to happen to my SM-G900I thats got root (running stock) when it receives the marshmallow update. Sorry for the simple question. Thanks
marshmallow update
Hey there! your root will probably be lost if you accept the OTA (over the air) marshmallow. My best advice to you is this:
1. DON'T accept the update. (caps lock for emphasis only). You, as the subscriber, can only accept the update. The carrier can't "force update' your phone without your permission.
2. wait until a dev "captures" the update and "injects" the root (if available) in the marshmallow stock rom.
3. as a rooted user myself, exercise your due patience and wait it out. don't *ask* for ETA from a dev -- it's mean. =)
I hope this helps. =)
You won't get OTA updates if you're rooted, you'll have to update manually then root again

So I will have to do a full unroot to get the update normally, and would manually updating just be flashing the stock mm rom?

Full unroot doesn't seem to revert the device "Custom" status, which is what stops the OTA, to "Official" which is the status needed for OTA
The only way to return the device to Official is to flash a stock ROM with ODIN, that will unroot you and return the device to Official and OTA will work
And yes, Flashing manually is flashing a stock ROM with ODIN

Ohhh I understand now, thanks Durham. So I take it when I flash the new one with ODIN I will loose everything on my phone or can I do a dirty install and keep everything.

You only lose anything custom, like root or recovery, all your apps and files etc are safe
