[Q] Quick question regarding OTA update - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello all
Like most AT&T users I recently received the notification for an update to Android 4.3. I'm currently on 4.2.2 MF3. I rooted using the guide here.
My question is this: is it safe to do the OTA update without any preparation? Will all of my settings/apps remain intact? Will I run into any issues as a result of being rooted? I assume the root will not remain after the update, so it is possible to root on the 4.3 OTA update?
Thanks in advance guys

[Q] Can rooted stock 4.3 OTA to 4.4 successfully?

My phone is rooted stock 4.3 with no modified recovery. Can I successfully update to 4.4? If so, do I have root anymore after OTA?
By the way my usb port is broken. So factory reset no available.
You don't have to create a new thread to ask this question and it's in the wrong section.

[Q] Kitkat update with pure root?

Hello together,
I have a short question.
Would it be possible to update to Kitkat when i have rooted my G2?
I would only do a root like in this discribtion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
No other Rom or costum recovery.
Thanks
yes
AFAIK, root access does not prevent OTA update success, but if you have a custom recovery installed, OTA update will fail.

Is there any way to manually update to a Kitkat version by which i can root the phone and install custom lollipop roms?

Be sure to flash the .10 firmware and unlock your bootloader.

[Q] 4.4.2 -> 4.4.5 -> Lollipop? (No OTA) [G900A]

Hello,
I just got a Galaxy S5 ATNT (SM-G900A) version with firmware 4.4.2 and build number KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3
I want to upgrade it to Lollipop, but from what I had seen, I need to upgrade it to 4.4.4 first, How can I achieve that?
I'm not on the ATNT Network(in result, OTA is not working), As i'm living abroad. My phone is factory unlocked.
I had also found an OTA .zip but it's a NG3 one, so I'm not sure if it's compatible with my device.
Thanks guys! (I'm hoping I could do this via the stock recovery way)
*I mean 4.4.4 at the title
I believe theres some ota zips but im not certain theres a way available thats been posted to do this, most of them use odin to get to stock and then using ota to update, or updating to get root, i havent seen one about just manually updating to 5.0, go give the att s5 general section a peek. Otherwise i'd ask the mods to move this over to the att q&a section, im sure one of the devs in the att s5 section would be happy to help.

Oh, i was incorrect, yes there is a lollipop OTA dump, check the att s5 general section, should be able to sideload.

Hey! Thank you for the reply,
I tried one of the lollipop ota .zips
Named
ATTS5Lollipop.zip
It doesn't install though, when I restart the device it's still on KitKat
Plus the manual ota .zips are for NG3s only,
Are those compatible with my device? (ND3)
NVM,
Downgraded to NCE,
Then upgraded to NG3
Then upgraded to OA1
Then to Lollipop.
