First time at rooting

Hi as I have just got a S4 i9505 and would like to root it with a custom rom with beats audio software, I have never rooted before and just wanted to know if someone could show me the best guide to use as I don't have a clue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Joku1981 Before I root should I right down my stock firmware so if I wanna unroot I can.

@Jouk1981 Cheers you been a great help thanks
First i would check if you have a non knox bootloader. Uf you dont have knox... dont update to 4.3 but root and flash 4.3 rooted rom without knox.

You lost me lol the only reason I wanna use a custom rom is to get better audio quality.
I think I will leave rooting just in case I mess up thanks anyway lads.

From my experience, if you root your phone, and do NOT flash a new rom, then you will receive OTA updates, but unless you enable OTA survival, you will lose root after an OTA upgrade.
If you want OTA updates, root the stock rom without installing a new rom.
Also can someone tell me if I install stock rom with odin,I will be able to receive updates?.Ive knox 0×1

I forgot about that....you do need the stock recovery. I have done an OTA on my S4 with root though... you just can't have a custom recovery.

Ota Updates are only factory to be able to install the 3e recovery rooted or non-rooted.
Just make sure your system status is official not custom , u can modify that through wanam xposed
And if you firmware is not the same original region , go to /efs/imei/mps_code.dat , and change it to the current firmware region

It isn't stock binary status that is needed, but the stock 3e recovery is. Custom recoveries do not have the ability to do an OTA upgrade.

1. U can unroot. And in the future if u flash stock firmware, root will be gone too.
2. Rooting won't delete any files. It will just open root access and inject supersu.
3. Triangle away I never used. But u can just read its thread. If written a support for ur device, means can. BUT, triangle away won't reset ur knox status.

say yes to removal of knox and also try apps like ota root keeper
sometimes after enabling survuval mode in super su results in ota failure cos sometimes it happens that you remove some system apps after rooting { which i am sure you also have done } and the update consist of files for those uninstalled apps then you get such error
I have installed ota root keeper now.
in status it shows root acces.
In superSU i have unticked ota survival.
Tryed again to install update from ota but still have error.??

Why don`t you just flash the new updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and keep root and forget about these OTA`s. Roms are available at Sammobile.com/firmwares. Just wipe or rename the OTA policy and notifications.

I have Mobile Odin.. But it says that my device is not compatible or something...
If i just make the update from KIES.. Can I then get rooted again by CF-Root ? And if I do CF-Root.. Will I still be able to get updates from OTA or KIES =?

What S5 model do you have mate that MOP is not compatible? If i we`re you i`d forget about OTA`s anyway and just flash the updated rom with (Mobile) Odin. OTA`s suck imo.
To disable OTA`s and notification go to /system/app/FWUpgrade.apk (+odex file) and delete it and in /system/priv-app/FotaClient.apk(+ odex file) and delete it.
Yes, you can use CF Auto Root to root again.

I uninstalled Kies myself, if you accept the OTA it will probably not be installed because you are rooted. I would download the new rom from Sammobile and flash it wirh Odin. Have you tried clearing the data of Mobile Odin Pro because the G900F IS compatible with MOP.
OTA does not work if you are rooted. uninstall root to make OTA work
