you cannot receive regular update from google (OTA update) if you root your phone, I suggest backup you ROM first if you want to root.
No you can't, but there is a way, if you rooted you're phone, you can flashed the stock rom as well as the stock recovery.

Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Bootloader and KitKat Compatibility
Everyone wants Lollipop, however it is worth considering some of the possible consequences of upgrading via OTA update.
Bootloader:
A new Bootloader (BL) will almost certainly be included in the OTA update. It is also very likely no KitKat Kernel, stock or custom will be able to boot properly with the 5.0 BL. Perhaps the Kernel DEVs can find a workaround.
Root: (ETA: Unknown)
It may take some time to gain root access on Lolipop as on other devices this has required a custom Kernel. A custom kernel itself may require kernel sources to be released - something that has taken weeks / months in the past.
Xposed Framework:
Developer has said he will wait for CyanogenMod based on Lollipop before properly starting development of an ART version of Xposed. CM12 may take a few weeks to release. Expect to do without Xposed for at least a month, probably longer since root is also required (see above.)
Custom Recovery:
This has not been an issue before, but it is always possible a new Bootloader could break compatibility with existing Custom Recoveries. Obviously, you would not be able to restore a CWM / TWRP backup without a functional custom recovery; but even then, it is unlikely you will be able to boot your KitKat backup.
Custom ROMs:
This is another area that could be affected by a new Bootloader. It is unknown if existing custom ROMs will require new Kernels / system changes in order to work with the new BL - something that could take days, weeks or months.
Performance:
Currently the performance difference between KitKat and Lollipop is unknown. If the first release of Lollipop for Android One has performance issues, you may be unable to revert back to stock KitKat.Possible solution:
Wait for a flashable zip [NOT OTA Update zip] of Stock Android One Lollipop ROM - this would mean your Bootloader remains at it's current version and potentially allowing you to change 'back and forth' between Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop. However, it is currently unknown if the newer BL is a requirement for Android 5.0 Kernels.
This is taken from the Moto G thread and all credits goes to @lost101.The sole motive of this is to create awareness about the new bootloader included in 5.0
Thanks For The Info @DC07 :highfive:
Thanks For The Information Bruda !!
This thing is only for device like motorola, samsung etc.. As I never saw same thing for nexus.. Motorola does not allow to downgrade so they update bootloader in every android version update.. I dont think it will be same for sprout
Let it arrive ,no point in discussions on thongs that are not confirmed

Nope. The bootloader was updated on my nexus 7 flo for the 4.4.2 OTA. Since this update is much bigger I think we'll have a bootloader update too.

Hey Guys!
So i am on a rooted pure edition 4.4.4 Moto X Pure Edition (XT1095).
I do get the OTA update for 5.0 but I have not downloaded it because I have rooted the phone. So my question is , can I do a complete unroot using SuperSu and then continue with the OTA?
Is that safe? If not , what is the best way to get to 5.0
Thanks

Should work just fine from 4.4.4 to 5.x It did on my 2013 Nexus 7 which was stock rooted + unlocked bootloader. The only thing I ever had to do was re-root after and you'll have to do the same. The same root method and file works on 5.0.........I just used it a couple weeks ago on my X which was on 5.0 out of the box because I just got it.
Once you're on 5.0 though it's more work to get updates. Google changed what they're looking for when checking the partitions (can't remember exactly what offhand) and now if any modifications have been made (rooted, added/removed system apps, etc.) the OTA's will fail. On my N7 I had to wait for the factory image to be released and I just flashed the system.img in fastboot. I'm not sure what will be needed on the X since the only images I see so far are for 4.4.4

I have a factory shipped nexus 6 that i've been using since day one. I've never updated the firmware nor been promted to, mainly because I'm rooted and running custom roms. I'm currently running Pure 5.1.1
My question is... there is no straight upgrade from LYZ28J to MRA58K. Furthermore, I'm looking at sprints site and they dont list LYZ28J as their firmware, and in-fact its a t-mobile firmware. Is it displaying LYZ28J because of my rom? Do i have to upgrade from LYZ28J -> LYZ28K -> LYZ28M -> MRA58K ??

Over in the other forum, you didn't mention that you were rooted and running a custom ROM. You will never get an OTA installed while in that state. OTAs require a stock target device.
Also, this seems to solve the mystery of how you came to be running a T-Mobile build on Sprint. That obviously was a property of the custom ROM you installed. Sprint did not ship it that way.

No. You can't use any of the stock OTA updates on a modded phone.
Once you cross over into the world of custom ROMs, you will never get another automatic update from Google. The ROM developer you went with is responsible for incorporating updates from Google into an updated ROM. ( I see that the Pure Nexus ROM has been updated.)
And you are responsible for flashing that updated ROM manually.

Everything suddenly makes perfect sense.
If you want back to stock, you just download and flash it yourself... and if your doing that no reason not to just go straight to the latest.
I've been rooted since KitKat (4.4), currently on Lollipop (5.0) and I believe my bootloader is still unlocked. How do I confirm this?
I'd like to upgrade it to Marshmallow 6.0/6.0.1, if that's possible. Any recommended path to the soft goodness of MM?
Of course.
Step 1: Don't
Follow-up question: Why not?

Well now because there are not official builds just yet, the ones uploaded were just test builds that apparently work smoothly but some apps don't work (android pay), if you manage to update and the official build comes out you will have to back up your data and wipe over and over again.
And you will also lose that sweet root permanently.
hi I extremely hate stock nougat Ive installed latest 7.0 from sammobile and when I try to install 6.0.1 the samsung rev sw protection show up and the odin says fail BTW at the past I was able to install both android versions 6.0.1 and 7.0 with no problems ...would it work if I use another country rom my country code is MID
so sorry for bad english:angel:
After a few Nougat updates you won't be able to Downgrade. Why would you go want to go back? Nougat is just better than Marshmallow! with more and easier mods available.
