(Q)Update to latest OTA keeping root

Hey guys. So basically I rooted my phone using root de la vega method keeping my knox at 0x0. I checked for new ota update and there seems to be a new one available. So my question is if I download and install the latest ota, will I lose my root? And will that also trip knox? Should I just repeat root de la vega with newer firmware? Im confused. ....

Which firmware are you in currently?
If you have rooted your phone, I strongly suggest you to stay away from OTA as it will cause issue to your phone. If you want to keep root and updated to the latest firmware, and if you are still using MJ1 or MJ3 firmware, you can try the method in the following thread

I used that method to update from MJ1 to MJ7 via MOP with root retain.

Rooting SM-N910G 5.0.1

Hey, just to double check. Can i root my Galaxy note 4, SM-N910G on 5.0.1 using chainfire's CF-Autoroot? I checked the website for the autoroot and it stated that its for version 4.4.4
Does it still work on my 5.0.1 without any issues?

Downgrade

Hello experts i would like to downgrade to 4.3 from lollipop how can i do it ? Im using cm12.1 now thank in advance

If you're using CM12.1 with JB bootloader than find a stock rom and flash with odin. But it's hard to find a JB firmware now.
If using LP bootloader you can only downgrade to KK.
Dial *#0011# if it could show your bootloader version.
Else install samsung phone info from playstore and screenshot as below.
If i want to downgrade to kk i just flash the official using odin ?

There are many posts reporting they successfully downgrade to kitkat from lollipop. For error free use the same region/country firmware of your phone(check your phone csc). Did you ever flash lollipop on your phone? Because it doesn't means that if you're running cm12.1 your phone has lollipop bootloader. The last time i check it can even run with jb botloader.
Myself however would refrain myself from downgrading as it could take some efforts to recover in case it's unsuccessfull
