unrooting, then OTA update, then root again?

Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900M), Marshmallow 6.0.1 (ARO, Argentina region ROM), rooted with Chainfire's Autoroot.
After flashing the device with said ROM, I rooted the device immediately. OTA updates stopped, of course.
Can I unroot, apply updates, then root again? Is it safe? Can I always do it?

[Q] LOCK BOOTLOADER on OREO (not relock)

Hello,
I was on B360 Oreo.
I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, used MAGISK (16) to modify boot(ramdisk) partition, flashed it and got ROOT.
Then I flashed HYPER KERNEL.
Now i realised that custom kernel gives me nothing special in term of battery life (after 7 days) so i flashed back all stock partitions (BOOT, RECOVERY, KERNEL).
Now I am on stock, but with bootloader unlocked.
So i can get updates, but no ANDROID PAY.
The TASK is: How to lock bootloader. I mean LOCK not RELOCK.
ON nougat when i used the HWOTA to debrand my device the device was automatically locked after the change.
Now on HWOTA8 i flashed all three parts of the B360 full ota to get the bootloader locked, but still unlocked.
I think to erase and flash OEMINFO again, but i am afraid to brick the device by that.
Does anybody know how to make forced update that the bootloader will lock?
@Blackball maybe?
Actually the only way i discover to do this is, go Back to nougat, and the update vía firmware Finder vía proxy while you had your bootloader locked after rebranding again, Cheers brother
will try to update via firmware finder from b360 to b365 full firmware. Will see.
How this went for You?

Does tripping Knox disable OTA updates?

I have rooted my S10+ but will restore it to stock firrmware and lock the bootloader again. After that, will I be able to update the phone via OTA?
I'm seeing conflicting information on this. Does anybody know for sure?
I don't see why not.
yes you will be able to get ota updates after flashing stock firmware.
No, just no, once knox is tripped you can't get official ota updates... But what you can do is download the firmware and flash it via odin (keep in mind to use HOME_CSC to keep your data)
