Stock with root now what?

[jackrabbit72380]

so I am still on the stock rom I never flashed a new rom be4 on this s5
I don't mind the stock rom but have some questions.

I am being prompted for 2 updates!
1 is the software update
2 is the security policy update

what happens if I accept them? will I loose root?

& what should i do and if so could I remove the nag?

If you accept the updates and if it goes through, yes, you would lose the root.
Are you sure you are completely rooted? Because you shouldn't be receiving those update notifications if you are.

well its nice to think so but i would love confirmation before i go messing up my phone!

I would think the security policy update would definitely break root!

Yes! Sorry for that. I did some research & if you update you will lose root provided you are using the stock recovery & bootloader. If u are using a different one,ur phone might not boot after updating. If you are using a stock bootloader I suggest u update,lose root & root again

Yes, you will lose root for sure because that's what happened to my friend. However, after update I re-rooted for him. I know it's tedious but that's what you have to go through.

Or u can download the ota file in zip format & flash using recovery. It'll work as long as you are using stock ROM with no modifications. & most likely you won't lose root

I don't think so. After update the phone might not boot & keep going into recovery. I suggest u flash stock recovery & then update & fish twrp again. Or you could try your luck and update & let's see what happens.

That's basically the worst answer to any question ever asked!
I expect google to replace human interaction any day now!

Can anyone point me to stock recovery or tell me if it's safe to update with out bricking my device?

I believe this is the latest stock file. It will un-root your phone and put it in stock.
