Using cf root you still can get updates through kies but applying an update will lose root so you will have to reroot after every update. OTAs although cf root does say its compatible they have failed for ppl so i wouldnt recommend updating your phone through OTA with cf root.
But if your a regular visitor to xda you can always apply the latest firmwares though ODIN as they become available and not worry about kies or OTA

Sorry for barging in, but.. really? S4 root = no updates? in the GN I remember getting updates regularly with root (before I went CM)

Cf-auto root, and reset device status to offical by triangle away in order to receive OTA, but you can just use odin to flash any firmware for update

Ota make sense if you are in region where ota first hit updates. For me it tames few weeks for official updates come to my carrier. Custom rom is great thing . In most cases you will see new updates here before ota hit your region

I have rooted my S4 and was wondering wether I could update to KitKat 4.4??

Is it available for the S4 and can I update my rooted fone with it?
Or will have to install a custom ROM?
Please help.

Hi.
Kitkat 4.4 is not available yet as currently Samsung just release is 4.3.
So, u will not expect 4.4 soon.
U have been answered before on yr other thread.

you can update to kitkat but for that wait for it
also if you have rooted then you can try ota root keeper or have to flash 4.4 through odin when available

Was kinda thinking a bootloader hack possibly like in my old HTC desire days to take this knox pain away . Just ideas I think knox is more of a pain than root now but I like to learn from other devices and see if there hacks can be implemented to cracking bootloader

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
