[Q] To root again after official update or not?

Hi
I have an I9505 which was at 4.3 by default. I used the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar to root it and after that i updated it with odin and I9505XXUFNB8_I9505TSIFNB1_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar that i got from sammobile.com .
now I don't know that after updating official rom, i'm rooted or not?!!
I flashed Trwap recovery again. I don't know that can i flash a custome rom now with it or i have to root again? if YES, the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar will work again with android 4.4.2 or not?
thanks
please guide me.

There is an app called Root Checker which does what the name says. Usuallly, you can preserve root while upgrading if you got SuperSU Pro and have "Survival Mode" enabled.
You don't need to root for flashing a custom rom. You can just flash from the recovery.
Thanks
I flashed a new rom

First update from 4.3 to 4.4.2.
Then Flash Philz, Deknox your phone, Reroot Via Philz.
After doing this, download the rom you want to use.
Check the firmware of the ROM and the firmware you installed, they should match. (Like if the rom is based on XXUGNG8, Then you should also flash official XXUGNG8)
Place the downloaded Rom in your EXTSD card and boot into recovery.
After that data wipe your phone.
Flash the zip from ext sd via Philz and install the rom.
Data wipe again.
And there you go
Press Thanks if I helped

ok thank you!
I tried using kies to upgrade to 4.4 as i figured that would be the easiest way, but keep getting an error, so I do need to flash stock using odin. but I'm so confused as to which one to download. right now when I fire up kies, it shows this:
current firmware version: PDA:MJ7 /PHONE:MJ7 /CSC:MJ6 (ZTO)
Latest firmware version: PDA:NG3 / PHONE:NG2 / CSC:NG3 (ZTO)
can someone let me know which firmware I need to download from sammobile.com?
thanks so much.
oh please disregard. I didn't know sammobile.com had a place where we can search by country, etc. it's really cool. so I found what I needed.
thank you.
I was able to do an OTA update, so now I'm on kitkat 4.4; so my question is, now do I need to do anything for preparation in order to root?
thanks.
nothing to do
flash cf auto root and you re done...
thank you! you guys are great!

I watched this video on YouTube and in the links there was a twrp file to flash
but it says: "Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader."
How do I know if I changed the bootloader or not ? All I know is that I've flashed a new firmware vie mobile obiln...

Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears.
Version:
AP: N9005XXUGBOF1
CP: N9005XXUGBOD3
CSC: N9005BTUGBOD2
Use the most recent CWM or TWRP to flash supersu and you should obtain root as long as you don't have a locked bootloader.

Find twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245
Get the latest 2.8.7 or any 2.x.x 4.4 .tar.
Then get SuperSu flashable. You can google that.
Flash twrp with odin.
Flash SuperSU.zip with twrp.
It's rooted.
If you want to flash a custom rom just flash the rom of your choice in twrp. No need to flash supersu.zip to root it first. Anyhow no harm if you still did.
In odin do not touch anything. Just link the twrp .tar file in pda/ap tab.
There are a lot of tutorials on how to root and install custom rom in the web if you're not sure. Do not attempt anything if you're not sure.
