I assume you still have knox 0x0?
Before doing anything check your current version and read the Mobile Odin Pro thread, read the first half if you are on older stock:

or read the latest part if you are on latest 4.3 and want to go to 4.4.2:

Hi there,
I managed to perform root on this build yesterday, I followed the Chainfire tool / exploit, but it only worked after I downloaded SuperSU from the market (latest pro version) before it was giving a "no su binary present"
I have knox 0x01 I havent tried to downgrade it yet...
cheers

You can´t downgrade to a stock knox disabled firmware and if you root/flash a custom rom, you knox counter will be set to 0x1.
I updated OTA,but not via Kies
So still I have new bootloader? :/

Don't think you can your going to have to root again
You can download the firmware from sammobile and flash it via mobile odin. You will keep root. And knox counter 0x0 as well. Forget ota.

So the ota won't stop asking me to update till I update though Odin

Knox counter will stay 0x0 only with the old bootloader
And, I believe, Mobile ODIN won't flash the new bootloader so you can go back to a lower version of firmware.
Also, Mobile ODIN will retain root so you don't need to reroot and potentially/will trigger warranty void...

Yes,but the most important is : having old bootloader before using mobile odin

Hi!
Got my N9005 with MJ7, so I went and rooted with cf auto-root.
As I'm on 4.3 stock, what are my options for upgrading?
What are the implications of the new 4.4.2 bootloader ?

I can live with that as I like the s-pen features.
Should I just flash any firmware?
I see on sammobile there isn't yet a Croatian rom with 4.4.2.
Should I just flash another one if so how to choose and what is the best way to flash?
Will my root survive or will I have to re-root?
Thanks!
Mine didn't survive and now I can't re root for some reason

Chainfire has a 4.4.2 version of CF auto-root out, did you try that?
Yeah that's the only one I tried. Seems to install fine but when booted back up supersu isn't even installed

SM-N900R4? Strange. If you download Wanam Xposed and Install the Xposed Installer, you can change your System Status to Official, and then set SuperSU to Survival Mode when updating to see if you can save root on OTA. If not, you'll just lose root, but be updated.

You've already tripped your Knox counter, there is no way of re-sitting this currently so no need for Kingo.
Upgrade to 4.4.2 using the various listen methods on Odin, the use CF-Root. It's the safest, it trips knox but since you already have this is irrelevant.

Reroot. But as your device is not really universally supported, you will have to find a way to root on the new firmware.
Please review the XDA Forum Rules.

I have an unlocked SGH - I337UCUAMDL running on 4.2.2. I tried updating it OTA but it failed. I am assuming it was because it is unlocked.
Is there an alternate version of this that I can download and flash through Odin?

If you have mdl why do you want to upgrade the firmware? You currently can use twrp and flash roms based on 4.4.2. If you upgrade with Odin or ota you'll lose that ability for ever.

In that case, look in the general forum for the nb1 Odin flashable tar file and flash that in Odin. You can then ota up from there.

1. Rootable is just that, you'll be able to root it using towelroot. The normal nb1 is not rootable. The nc1 firmware is rootable with towel root too. So you could flash the non-rootable, then ota to nc1 and root it
2. If you're sim unlocked flash with Odin will not lock it.
