Being unlocked and rooted alone will not prevent you from seeing the OTA notification. However, modifications to the /system and/or /recovery partition will more than likely cause the OTA update to fail when you try to install it.
Most people use fastboot/mfastboot to flash a clean stock version of /system and /recovery (assuming you're using TWRP or similar for root access), then take the OTA to get the update. Once updated, reflash TWRP with fastboot/mfastboot, flash SuperSU from TWRP and you're back in business. This is how I upgraded my rooted and unlocked XT1060 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.

What @fury683 has posted is the correct answer..
One thing I will caution you about... IF that is Lollipop, you might want to take a wait and see... to make sure rooting is the same. And/Or do some research first.
Initially, due to security changes, rooting lollipop needed a custom kernel. Later that was supposedly solved. But I haven't followed enough to know the complete details.
Chances are good that once you get Lollipop on there, you want be able to downgrade to 4.4.4 or lower.

Better wait for people to confirm first then. I feel naked when my phone is not rooted.

And actually, I'm confused as to why you are posting that picture... 212.44.26 is KitKat 4.4.4 per Moto -> https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/100576

Any way we can change emojis?

The phone at the verizon store bad the default ios emojis. I really hate these blobs Google gave us. I would love to change them but it seems pretty much impossible

Unfortunately, we cannot change the system emoji font without root access. It is up to the app developer to use the system emoji font or bundle their own emoji font though, which is why you see different emoji styles among the apps.

How can I download additional emojis to use on my Droid Turbo 2? The ones that came with the phone are lame.....

Luckily all the Quarks (XT1254, XT1225, XT1250) now have permanent root access. That post above was from 2 years ago (January 2015) before Sunshine team found/developed exploit to unlock the bootloader. With these Motorola phones you need unlocked bootloader to get permanent root.
All other Quarks -- except for the Verizon model -- always had easily unlocked bootloaders, with free unlock code given by Motorola on request. Only the Verizon model, the XT1254 Droid Turbo had the Verizon mandated locked-down bootloader, but Sunshine released an exploit ($25) to force unlock the bootloader in November 2015.
Anyone with a Droid Turbo XT1254 could unlock their bootloader and root for a full year (on Lollipop SU4TL-44 or SU4TL-49), until Verizon pushed out the Marshmallow update in late 2016. Anyone who didn't unlock their bootloader before then really didn't want to root their phone or they would have done so.
I have the Moto XT1225 and use an iOS emoji keyboard, flashed over Resurrection Remix 6.X (Marshmallow). You can find it here. Of course you will have to re-flash every time you do a ROM update. It says it's for Marshmallow. I have not looked for Nougat compatible versions.

Hate to tell you... you are not only in the wrong forum (this is the Quark forum, not the Kinzie forum), you also don't have root access.
This is the forum you are looking for:
KINZIE (Droid Turbo2/Moto X Force)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2
You bought the wrong Kinzie -- the Droid Turbo 2. Instead, if you are not a Verizon customer and don't need CDMA, you should have gotten the Moto X Force which has easily unlocked bootloader and permanent root.
If you are using Verizon or NEED CDMA, then you should have gotten the 2014 Droid Turbo, not the 2015 Droid Turbo 2. The sad Droid Turbo 2 bootloader was never unlocked.

am I capable of Rooting and do I need to unlock my boot loader?

This is my first Moto device and I'm not familiar with how to root these. All I know is its a Moto X Verizon exclusive (pig skin edition), I know the SIM is unlocked because I'm using it on At&t. If someone could help me by shooting me the proper links to a tutorial specific to this model phone I would seriously appreciate it. Thanks.

You cannot root it or unlock its bootloader, unfortunately. In the States only the Pure Edition can be unlocked and rooted. Also, it'll likely be a VERY long time until your model gets rooted if it ever does, and if I was a betting man, I'd go all in on its bootloader never getting unlocked. In other words, learn to love it stock because that's probably how it's going to stay.

US Cellular XT1093 can be unlocked, and does Sprint have it yet? If so, it's unlockable. I prefer to say "All variants except Verizon and ATT are unlockable" rather than "Only Pure Edition can be unlocked in the US". Plus it's less words (by one lol).

You're right, my bad. I keep forgetting that USC has it too. Not sure about Sprint.

Can't find stock ROM for Moto G Power

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/ See this is the link people always send me for the stock ROM for my phone, but I don't know what folder to download. I can answer any questions you have, sorry for the lack of information.

I think if the model number is the same, they should work no problemo.
I have the T-mobile variant here in the US and I use RETUS (Retail US) version. USC stands for US Celluar, VZW for Verizon, FI for Google Project Fi, Comcast for, well, comast Xfinity, etc.

Thanks for your reply, if I bought it unlocked do I do US Cellular? Sorry, not the expert on this stuff.

Here's where I get my stock moto roms from https://t.me/s/MotoUpdatesTracker?q=sofia I also use RETUS and have no problems with it working with verizon for wifi calling and band 66. *Edit RETUS is what ships on the factory unlocked versions XT2041-4 and is supported by all 4 major US carriers.

They have actually deleted my HowTo on installing Stock firmware.

No they havent, they moved it to guides and discussion where it should be .

I see. Well alot of ppl look here to return to stock --at least that's the case with other phones-- and I wouldn't have bothered if I'd known this would happen.
BTW, 3 days and counting on Havoc 4.8, and no loss of datastream, thankfully. Looks like I have my daily driver.
