Can I receive an update while rooted? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apparently I'm getting a sotware update from VZW, it's probably 5.1? I'm rooted, and have a few mods via exposed installer, my first question is, do I even want this update? Second, what steps do I need to take I order to have it install?

Being rooted shouldn't cause a problem w/ taking the OTA update, but having the Xposed app/mods and framework installed will.

Thanks, After a little research I found that it's just a patch, and not 5.1. not much added benefit from my current OS apparently.... Now I'm not sure if I even want it

you have rooted phone and because of that you are not able to update any OTA updates. This is one of things - if you root the phone you loose the ability to apply OTA uopdates
And please read the other threads as it's mentioned over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

So i unrooted it and still the same, so L adopters fyi
Gnex?
I believe there's an Xposed module that hides root functionality from certain apps. You ought to check it out. But then again Xposed probably isn't compatible with 4.5 version roms, so...
Not sure, there might be a solitary app out there that hides it.

Software Update for Verizon S4 Mini

I got prompted today to perform a software update on my Verizon S4 Mini. (SCH-i435)
I'm very hesitant to take it, though, as I'm afraid it might leave me root-less without any way to re-root. I'm guessing it patches Dirty Cow at the very least. I saw an SIII Mini owner said it replaced the Linux kernel, but did not update to a newer version of Android. Does anyone know the details for sure?

No it is a security patch. Not oreo. If you're rooted, trying to install this will bootloop your phone.
