Am I the only here that smells bullshit/ragebait? When your phone has the bootloader unlocked and you’re rooted, you simply cannot receive official software updates. That only works in custom roms.
EDIT: It seems that for several people this is not the case. Guess I’m wrong then, but personally I’ve never received software update requests after rooting. Right now in my xperia 5v I literally can’t even check to see if there is one. The only way to know is to look up my model in xperifirm.
I have a pixel 4a (yes, ik its eol, i use it more as a backup) that used to be rooted, until i got that shitty battery update, immediately switched to graphene.
So yes you do still get updates on rooted
Weird. Also a Pixel4a user (condolences to both of us), but I had LineageOS on mine and was rooted, but I’ve had no software updates. I get reminders from LineageOS that a new build is available, but I just swipe right because if it ain’t broke don’t fix

Lineage and graphene don’t force updates. They could but that’s not their mo. If they did they would presumably lose 90% of their users.
Stock android even if rooted easily can and does force updates.
Normally that is true but they just forced one on Pixel 6a. I had the same thing happen to me and had to reroot my phone at like 6am before work.
It seems they are being significantly more aggressive about it with their battery failure updates.
