I have a rooted Rogers D803 variant with trwp. KitKat release update is Tuesday. I'm still on stock. Do I need to unroot before updating or there should be no problems?

Going to have to go back to regular stock and bootloader or you will brick it.
There are a number of posts on this forum which should help with that.
Looking them up now myself.

Hi!
I got S4 at At&t today. (excited ) I begun to read threads after threads. I came across this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283918
So, after that, I gonna do set up CWM nandroid back up?
What about Bootloader? I have experience on previous device, Verizon Samsung Galaxy s3 unlocked bootloader.
Then install At&t roms only?
I have S4 on at&t about device...
Model number - SGH 1337
Android version - 4.2.2

It has a locked bootloader
Also, you are lucky to still be on MDL firmware, DO NOT update to the MF3 firmware or you will lose ability to root your S4. My advice would be to remove sim card and turn off Wifi (to prevent accidentally updating) then root phone with Motochopper. Once rooted go freeze the update apks to ensure it does not update on you later. MF3 is unrootable as of now so DO NOT update if you want root!
I think you mean MF3. And yes, you have a locked bootloader, you should use this...and he is right do NOT do a update, once you do you lose root, and there is no way back just yet.

Hi all, I am using a rooted F320s korean variant. I have rooted recently and now there is a ota that I am unable to install due to the lg root check. So is there anyway I can receive the current one and everyone after this without doing a clean flash back to root? Thanks a lot for you help.

You can root the stock KK ROM, but you just can't have a custom recovery. Although the T-Mobile one has a rooted stock KK ROM with custom recovery available if you follow the directions.
Don't know about other variants.

What I did was I KDZ'd back to 4.2.2, then I rooted that and flashed a custom recovery. With that custom recovery I flashed T-Mobile's official 4.4.2 KK ROM and then flashed SuperU to achieve root on that ROM.
So now I'm running the official TMO KK ROM with root. I have no idea if that same process will work with your phone though since it's a D800, mine is D801. But I would assume it's the same process. Get the KDZ image of the D801 4.2.2 ROM, then you root that and flash TWRP recovery. Then you use that to flash the official KK ROM with SuperU.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Use Method 2! That's what worked for me and others. Good luck dude.
Hey all! I stupidly re-flashed LG Stock KK after some issues and forgot to flash SuperSU after as one is supposed to do and I lost root and twrp(obviously). Is there anyway to regain root?? I NEED my root back! ?

I'm not sure if this is the most efficient method but the thought occurred to me. Watch the video I'm linking you to to get you back to stock 4.2.2 then root and take the OTA update.
