I believe you already asked that question a couple times and got your answer - If you've taken the OTA (with the Knox bootloader) then once again answer is NO.

Hey Guys.
I know how to root phones or flash Custom ROMs but i habe a question : Will it be possible to flash an official Google ROM (when it comes out of course) and recieve OTA Updates?
Hope for a quick answer.

you can have a god news regarding this very soon or o new year
till then have fun with 4.3 roms
:good::good::laugh::good:
I don't understand why people keep asking when 4.4 will be out, 4.3 hasn't even been released world wide yet :banghead:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
if you want the touchwiz software i expext you can wait untill next year. I think the google play edition firmware wil release within the next 4 weeks, so you could flash that once it`s released.
edit; nvm, just read you have an i9500, so google edition firmware won`t work.
thanks for all answers

you will be waiting for quite a while, it wont be released before the S5 so dont ask until its released, you would be wasting your own time

Hey everyone, I had a question. I have a rooted s4 on 4.2.2 and I might upgrade to 4.3. If I were to do that would it just get rid of my root and update to 4.3 or will it wreck havoc on my device? Or should I not even update because its not worth it? Also are there any good root keeper apps that work? I heard that the su survival mode doesn't work so well.
Thank you. Much appreciated! Sorry for all the ?

I did take the time to read it and all I see in that thread is an old thread stating that the 4.3 update will he released Nov. 13 which was pulled, and now its the 30th. Also I kept reading (I even read the posts that didn't have anything to do with the thread) believe it or not, and couldn't find it, but its okay. I appreciate the help. Thx.

Why would you want to give up the ability to root and or have custom ROM? I must have missed the part on fascination with 4.3. But in the end the decision is yours good luck.

Eventually. If I where on an unlocked bootloader like you, I'd stay put so I can load other roms. If you update to MF3, all you have is SafetyStrap and other 4.2.2 roms. Updates to MK2 and your tw 4.3, with root but no custom recovery, no unlocked bootloader and no way to downgrade.

Yeah I was definitely gonna stay 4.2.2 for a bit until a root method came out. Earlier I asked what the new baseband would be so I could keep checking Google for a root method.

Never is a long time, as someone else posted eventually one or more of the developers will find away to root and have custom recovery sit tight and wait for it, Once you take the MF3 update you can not go back. I'm on MDL and am enjoying running CM and what else is out their. It will come.

Whichever road you take do whole lots of reading and when you think you've read enough read some more and always do a backup. Long time ago I thought I had read enough and only to find had I read more I would have found that the method I was trying did not apply to my phone I had an Atrix 2 and the method was for the Atrix and Droid. I ended up with a paper weight. Good luck and take your time

What about the 4.4.2 update and the SD Card issue. I'm having major issues with that right now.
