Root and OTA Update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my phone and i think i wont be getting OTA updates now.
Whats the easiest way to update my phones firmware?

Kies can still update a rooted phone, or you can download the update from a site like www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash with Odin.
BTW, questions belong in the Q&A section, not General. I've reported it and the mods will kindly move it for you.

I was going to make a thread for this also. I was told that what I want is to request someone to make the AMDL modem available for us to flash. I would like the same. I don't want to have to ODIN back to take advantage of the ROMS I like. So if anyone can create flashable zip that updates the modem from AMDB to AMDL. I hope I got that right. Someone?
Actually I was going to create a thread similar, I would like to know how to separate and create a flashable zip from a firmware, specifically for modems. So we can get any rom and flash after to keep going as usual.

Root exploit BLOCKED in newest OTA I337m

So I updated my phone yesterday, hoped for some miracle update, then I decided today to install GE-rom. But it is no longer rootable, it pushes the files through adb, then the rooting process fails. So I think it's the same like AT&T? anyone can confirm it? Thanks
Well at least we got app2sd
Have you tried any other processes?
I lost audio when I flashed my modem via mobile Odin yesterday. Had to Odin back to stock Rogers. Did the OTA. Flashed twrp, booted into recovery and flashed supersu zip. Had root on boot. I tried it out quickly before switching back to carbon. The new 4.3 build may not support the current root process, not sure, but there are 4.3 builds that are pre-rooted

I have a Telus 337M and was able to root with after installing TWRP through ODIN on our latest MG1 update.

[Q] Need help rooting galaxy s4 with VPUAM9F build.

Hi everyone, I'm new to android and having problems rooting my Sprint S4. I tried to root using ODIN but apparently Sprints newest update has made it impossible to root. My phone was believed to be rooted but the supersu app say that there is currently no binary installed. When I try to update the binary it just fails. I don't know where to go from here. I was going to flash the stock firmware but I cant find one for this build. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Kies Says Not Supported

Why does Kies 3 say this. Is it because it is rooted with Saferoot from this site. Will I not be able to get Updates when they come out????

1. Questions should be in the Q/A section.
2. IIRC, Kies hasn't had any firmware past MF3 on it and has always said that. You'll just get updates OTA or through sideload like everyone else does.

Well there are a few ROMs available with root available in this section, you may want to give it a shot.
