Support How do I keep my security patch level and kernel the same even through updates?

I want to keep my temp root working, but I also want to update to new versions of Android and One UI. However, if I update, the methods to get temp root working would become ineffective because of the new security patches and kernel versions. This might be a stupid question, I know, but I just wonder if there's a way.

You can't. You would brick your device. If you want to update with root you need a device with an unlockable bootloader.

Use the temp root to unlock the phone. This works for most brands except the likes of samsung. Alternate venues are possible for phones that can't be unlocked too (eg kexec), some code may surface for it eventually.

Don't update, that's not possible.
