Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Root, /Remove Bloatware /unroot regain F. A. D?

Question. If I root to remove MetroPCS Galaxy S3. and Samsung bloatware
Then unroot will my phone go back to Function as Designed?

What I mean is the out of box functions of OTA updates, etc.

Only reason want root is to remove above however going forward I don't want to have to do custom flashes etc.
This possible?
 
You can. If you flash a custom recovery and make a back up then you can return to stock anytime you want or skip it but if you mess up or the phone glitches into a bootloop then only way to fix is to flash full firmware. You dont need to root to debloat you just need a custom recovery and aroma file manager.
 
No one answered the question

**** the otas, can you root,remove bloatware then unroot
Yes you can. The question was answered. The question was can you do that, and still take normal ota updates. And the answer was "NO", altering system prevents ota.
