Does just rooting the note7 help to block the battery-cutting update?

Sorry about asking, but as far as I know after rooting it will be impossible to get OTA-updates anymore. Does that mean, that Samsung won't be able send me these battery-cutting updates? ..would be hard to believe. What are the restrictions coming along with root concerning the OTA- updates Samsung is trying to hit me with? I'm a bit confused about that, thanks for your help :)

Can't say for sure if just rooting prevents from ota updates (especially from the malicious ones). For me it worked for sure as I installed custom rom after being rooted. so the update packages are no longer here. Didn't find a reason to stay with stock firmware while rooted. Custom rom's are much better imo and just unbloated. Knox is already tripped, and a stock rom could manage to overwrite your custom recovery and remove root if you don't take measure to prevent this.

Btw. if you like, we have a German area, and we can discuss things there, maybe to get more participation from people who don't understand English language... ;-)
And our friends from the americas and australia / nz unfortunately cannot root with locked bootloader...

I actually don't feel that comfortable with the stock rom, especially because I still get these messages displayed after restarting my n7 since having rooted, like "... google-something stopped". Have read that they will disappear after flashing a custom rom. I would have done it already, but I think there are just a few questions for me to be answered before cause I'm a bit afraid to brick my beloved n7 ;) such as how to save data first properly.. couldn't find a really good howto stepbystep before flashing a custom rom.
Thanks for your hint to the german section, I'm looking forward to having my question answered there perhabs. :)
