Kitkat 4.4.2 update for s4 i9500

Hello ...
About the new official update for S4 I9500XXUFNB3 I have 2 questions
1-If I have a rooted device with JB 4.3 and I flashed it , what happens ? the root access will be denied ? I think yes
and is there any root way ?
2- and this is the most important , I read that ART is not supported yet in this version , so should I wait it to be supported or it will not be available ?
Thanks

If you have a rooted device then you are not able to receive OTA updates and if you received and updated you will stuck in a bootloop so unroot then update and the reroot(not in same method)
And Yes if you update the firmware you will lose root.

if u flash a rom via Odin,and the rom is not pre rooted,then u always will loose root..
There's no need to unroot ur phone,as it automatically will loose root..
As for.rooting 4.4.2, once the rom gets out,so will its rooting methods...
if u want stable recovery,go for cwm
if u want recovery with more features,go for twrp..
What do I prefer?I prefer flashing rom via recovery,since chances of failure from that is slim..

[Q] Kitkat update with pure root?

Hello together,
I have a short question.
Would it be possible to update to Kitkat when i have rooted my G2?
I would only do a root like in this discribtion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
No other Rom or costum recovery.
Thanks
yes
AFAIK, root access does not prevent OTA update success, but if you have a custom recovery installed, OTA update will fail.

From the Android Development forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/development/rom-21-11-2014-t2948203.
ok , this works perfectly.
another question , anytime google release an update I need to wait that someone create a twrp flashable zip or there's a way to flash android update ( only system ) directly from twrp ? I found update notify really annoing....

You would have to wait for a flashable zip. You would need to use fastboot and a computer to flash the system image, which you said wasn't an option.
