[Q] Root and future OTA upgrades !!!

Hi folks,
Newbie here and just bought a Note 3 Neo N7505.
It came 4.4.2 out of the box.
I would like some advice on below questions:
(a) How to get a full back up of the original OS (4.4.2) before rooting the device? I guess this is called Nandroid or something. Can this be done without rooting? Is it same as downloading the specific OS from sammob*le.com?
(b) Once I root the device is it possible to receive OTA firmware upgrades in the future if I temporarily unroot it? (let's say 4.4.4 or Android L is released)
Cheers to all - thank you

How do I upgrade ("flash"??) from 5.0

My M5 E5653 still has Android 5.0. Software update, nor Xperia companion show new updates available. Does not seem like my carrier, Vodafone Australia, will be updating it anytime soon or at all.
I am not familiar with flashing, rooting, or what a bootloader is. To make it simple, Is there a way I can upgrade from Android 5.0 to whichever is the latest available for the M5?
Of course, if there is, I understand as someone who's not familiar with this, that is it at my own risk following instructions on how to do so
if xperia companions (restore firmware) not upgrade to 5.1
then see howto flash with flashtool
Thanks. Where can find that?? Not quite sure which other thread explains that for my situation

Your English was fine. Thank you for that help
EDIT
Flashed and working. Thanks for the help!!

Rooting 6.0.1 SM-N920A is/will be possible?

Hi guys. Recently, i bought a Galaxy Note 5.. but i didn't know the problems affiliated to this version.. the AT&T version... Very difficult update without ota, same for root. So, i now ask for you and we maybe can start a discussion thread. Is possible to do root now to this phone?
Only on lollipop so far. Please read through the threads before starting a discussion that's been covered!
So is better to have 5.1.1 but rooted? And there's a metod to edit build.prop without root?

G S4-Mini upgrade OS for noob

Model SPH-L520
Android 4.4.2
Build KOT49H.L520VPSBQA1
I tried searching but i'm just not sure about all the terminology being used on the results. I thought there might be a pinned thread but i did not see one. I'd like to update the OS on my Samsung S4 mini. I have not done any back-end work on any phone so i'm not sure how all this works. I found this site from a link from another site. Are there any beginner-noob step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade to a newer (Android 7x or +) version?
I am not sure because my device is I9192

If the bootloader gets patched to not make the version check guess its possible but it is possible the phone to get bricked as well.
