You mean if I root now there is not any kind of problem....
Suppose after rooting I want to update the ROM using OTA then I just need to flash the stock recovery and then I can easily update via OTA ??
Rooting will not affect the OTA Updates ??
---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------
Bro I think after rooting I will not be able to get updates via OTA because rooted cell can not get updates through OTA, even if I flash the stock recovery I will not be able to get updates through OTA because my phone will still be rooted, flashing stock recovery will not unroot the phone.
Please guide me how to receive updates through OTA after rooting step by step, If you are sure of such a procedure..

Plz understand what i say
if you want ota updates you should be in stock recovery and flash the s032 zip i shared you
It will unroot your phone
Just do it you will get ota only if it is available
Tell me your firmware version

This method is no longer working after latest update
I received the latest A6000 update (Kraft-A6000_S034_150425) 2 days back and this rooting method is not working now.
Received 2-3 updates earlier and even though I have to redo the whole procedure after each update, I was able to root successfully each time...but it is not the case now
Any help would be appreciated.
