If I am on sac's 4.4.2 and I take the OTA update will that take me back to stock and update me to 4.4.3? I'm sure i will lose root and get Knox but that's OK.
Thanks for the help

What OTA there is not a single OTA out past NAE. 4.4.3 is just a rumor right now. And you will have to unroot to take any form of OTA.

Hi,
An OTA would unroot your phone anyway.
So you would have to re-root after you updated.

You Can Download the Latest Firmware Flash It Using ODIN and Then Root Ur Phone Again.
Thats the Best Way to Do it.
In Case If you just Need OTA then Factory reset Your Phone and You would get the Official Status Back

Hi,
You need to flash a stock ROM ,stock recovery ,then run Triangle Away from the market (if you were returning for warranty)
This will return your counter to 0.
It is all explained HERE
You should then be able to receive OTA

I used the MF3 Odin files to Flash back to stock MF3 and re rooted to use Supersu survival mode and I took the OTA Update .safest way to root MK2. It can in fact be done

This is my first time updating a rooted device. I switched to android this summer. I am currently rooted on stock 4.2 MDL. To update to 4.3 I can't use the OTA right? Do I need to flash a copy of it myself since I'm already rooted? Or do I unroot then update? Not sure how the whole process works.
Don't update and please use a custom 4.3 ROM!

I initially rooted with Vega 0x0.. I just recently flashed twrp (0x1) to get on CM11. Being as though it was still buggy, I restored back to stock rooted.
This morning I got an OTA notification about stock 4.4.2.
Is it possible for me to take an OTA being as though I have a custom recovery?

If you're back to original unrooted stock then yes.

To install the OTA update for 4.4 you have to unroot. Is the 4.4 update worth losing root access?

A thread has already been started for 4.4.2 KitKat.

That would really be up to what you think is more important.
I am fine with running rooted 4.4 until the "official" gets root.
If you switch I do believe you will be stuck with it. I would think that MJ5 restore will work.
