Hi!

I have a question:
If I'll just unlock the bootloader (no root or recovery), will I be able to install OTA updates?
If yes, can I root it and still install OTA's?
I'm ok with having to reroot, but can I install OTA's while I have a custom recovery and root?

Thank you!

EDIT:
Thanks to ollie_o I found a solution, see below for details

I was wondering the same - I've had one small OTA update when I first turned the phone on, but nothing since I unlocked the bootloader - has there been a December security update yet?

Can anyone confirm what the most recent OS version / security update is?

Mine's running the LMY48B build (Oct 7) with the November security update (2015-11-01)

Thanks to olli_o, I was able to find the answer:
You can't update with root, I don't know about unlocked bootloader, but you can install updates manually even if you are rooted. You just need to re-install the root after each update
