Just picked up a used S5 that was already rooted running KK, not sure of the root method used. Looking to upgrade to Lollipop but obviously can't take the OTA, used unroot in SU and the OTA says it's been modified and won't take it. How do I update it to lollipop and still keep my data?

You unrooted but you may still have a custom recovery. That will prevent the OTA update. Without more info it is hard to tell you the right way to go. I would backup what you have first. Do a nandroid. I would backup apps and data with Titanium Backup (but you can't since you already unrooted).
I had a Note3 that was rooted, slightly modified and then unrooted. I was able to get it back to stock and updated using Kies. Not sure if that will work for you in this case.

You could try Triangle Away but I'm not sure that would work. The best way would be to put the phone into download mode, and then use Odin to go to the stock OA6 Lollipop build, but this would cause you to lose all your data. You could also re-root, titanium backup / sms backup and restore, then once you Odin to Lollipop you can restore all your old apps and data as well as text messages.
So I can jump right to the stock OA6 lollipop odin with no issues? At this point I have all my stuff backed up and don't care about what's left on the phone, wipe it clean and start fresh is what I'm thinking. My plain is to odin the stock OA6 build, root using chainfire and hotspot mod.
Go for it. That should work. Use Odin to load the full tar of oa6 and then root it.
when i unlocked my xt1550, i made a twrp backup of unmodified stock rom. and today i restored it. i got 59mb update but it always fails (yes, i restored stock recovery.) any idea what should i do other than reflashing stock firmware?
You need to flash the latest stock firmware available for your device. That's the only solution in your case.
I have a Sonim XP7, i rooted it with the latest IROOT, i was wondering how do i go about un-rooting the phone and restoring it to stock? without flashing the rom, which there is no rom available, unless someone can provide me one?
would it be safe to un-root it?
If you have root access can you try and pull off some of the firmware files like boot and recovery? Many people have bricked sonims that could be repaired by these files.

May be do Hard Reset, but all data will be removed.
