If u have rooted using CF ROOT u won't be able to update it using kies
But have to flash firmware using odin as and when it comes
Incase u wanna have kies facility u have to flash stock to unroot

Hi, I have S4 rooted via CWM method and have set the binary to zero. i used the USB to link the S4 on my PC via KIES and have received a message to upgrade the latest MEA firmware. Can i just upgrade this method? Will it brick my S4?
Will i loose my root?

Hi there,
I managed to perform root on this build yesterday, I followed the Chainfire tool / exploit, but it only worked after I downloaded SuperSU from the market (latest pro version) before it was giving a "no su binary present"
I have knox 0x01 I havent tried to downgrade it yet...
cheers

You can´t downgrade to a stock knox disabled firmware and if you root/flash a custom rom, you knox counter will be set to 0x1.
I updated OTA,but not via Kies
So still I have new bootloader? :/

You cannot update a rooted device via OTA - it'll download, but it won't install. You have to unroot to install it, and I don't even think it works. - Better flashing it via Odin, then re-rooting.
i have a s4 SGH-I337M and i was wondering if kies is still safe to use when upgrading stock firmware? i have already rooted and installed TWRP and i am currently running stock koodo 4.3. also will kies unroot my phone if i use it to upgrade the traditional way?
Well. I went for a leap of faith. After backing up my phone with TWRP I decided to use Kies to update my phone with no issues. Now I'm at 4.4.2 with out root. Dose anyone know how to root and install TWRP on the baseband I337MVLUEMK6? Or to downgrade to 4.3?

Did you try to root with Kingo root and install TWRP as usual ? I don't know much about Canadian version of S4 but I think you can downgrade using odin.
So I rooted my galaxy s4 AT&T and I rooted it while on mf3. Is there a way for me to upgrade without breaking my phone? I don't care about keeping root. Just need to update! Thanks!
Post 2 has everything you need to root your devce and install a new Rom.

If you want to just update and not care about rerooting ever again, you can download the stock rom and install it via odin. It will unroot your phone in the process.

Right. Just remember that you lose any advantages for rooting that MF3 has over MK2.

No OTA update is available.
But you still can update by downloading the firmware, and flash it using Odin.
You will also still be able to do official updates using Samsung Kies and connecting your phone to your pc
