Can I still upgrade to the 5.0 android when it comes out even if my S4 is rooted??

Yes, but you might have to install a custom firmware or return to stock without root, or just remove the root and wait for the ota update.

I hope we get it, but I'd say we'll be waiting quite a while but no guarantees either.

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?

Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

Ok thats what i was gonna do but i didnt know if it was good to use a custom kernel on the stock rom
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes custom is better in most cases as far as customizing.

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it

Is MDC the latest stock recovery for the sprint s4 or is there a MF9 version?

So I took the risk and rooted my AT&T S4 with kingo. The only issue is that I can't get a recovery installed. Is there any way to get CWM installed or should I use safestrap?

You can't use either

Not even safestrap? That sucks. Oh well, life goes on. Thanks for the info.
