Is there a way to update and keep root on 4.3?

I wanted to update to kitkat, but I'm rooted. I am rooted and have safestrap to flash TW roms. Is there a way to keep my root and update? I know OTA root keeper doesn't work for me.

I followed the guide. I got stuck in downloading mode for about 20 minutes. I then pulled the battery and got stuck in the Samsung galaxy s4 booting screen.. I booted into recovery, and wiped cache partition and system data/factory reset. I selected reboot to later get stuck again. Is there anything I can do? Please help. I need my device for everyday use.

Does this work?

No, you're going to have to use Odin. Odin the mk2 tar file. Then start the rooting process all over

I'm assuming by "downloading" mode you mean the last step when you flash the stock kernel? If so just go back into download mode and reflash the nb1 stock kernel and reboot.
The instructions are proven to work so make sure you follow them and don't deviate from the process.

Could I just download the kitkat firmware then just push it into my phone through odin?

[Q] Flashed new TWRP now no recovery.

I installed the KOT49H GE ROM on my AT&T SGH-I337 and it runs great. I then decided to see if there was an update to TWRP and I found an updated one and flashed it via goo.im. I later read that this is not the way to do it. Anyway, when I boot into recovery a big yella triangle appears and at&t scolds me for running in authorized firmware. I can boot into download, cancel it and the ROM boots and runs fine.
Under the "about device" page on settings it says the baseband is MK2 (because I flashed that modem). If I look at the boot loader version via android terminal emulator it shows I'm still on MDL.
Any ideas how to get recovery working again?

I am trying to understand the reason why you flashed a recovery.
From your post, it looks like you are using safestrap and deadly venom tool to run GE.
You can flash the MLD files from the tool to get the recovery back.

I found an updated version of TWRP and thought it would be a good idea to update it. I think the problem might be that I didn't use Loki doki before I installed the twrp update. It can't get to the recovery now. Will I mess anything up if I use motochopper? I don't want safestrap because I like the Google Edition ROM and I'm still on the MDL boot loader.
I'm pretty much a newb with this S4. I had my S2 rooted with task650's ROM and understood that better because no locked bootloader

My bad! I read that you had "MLD" bootloader instead of "MDL" and hence my comment. MLD is a leaked 4.4 firmware.
Motochopper is used to root and I am guessing you still have root. All you need to do is flash a recovery.

Thanks for helping me out. I tried this yesterday and today with the link you provided. When I try to flash it via odin, it comes up as failed. On my phone, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery" in red letters on the download page. Any other ideas?

You could try grabbing the mdl package, an extracting the recovery from it and flash in Odin or Heimdall. Worst case you flash to mdl and then motochopper it again.

Thanks. Do i need root to do this? I don't think I even have root any more. I'm running a custom ROM without root access. I tried to use CASUAL to root and install the recovery but it couldn't root it.

You will only need to root again if you go all the way back to stock.

I tried to install CWM on my AT&T Galaxy S4... Can you help me fix this?

Hello everyone. I was trying to get Cyanogenmod 11 on my Galaxy S4. I read a guide and followed it to a T, but I guess it must have been a bad guide, and I can't find it now.
At any rate, I have 4.2.2 with NC1, and I used Geohot's TR to get root. I installed SU, and that's working. Then (because I used to use this on my GS3) I installed Rom Toolbox pro, chose to install CWM, and I kept getting errors. So I decided to use another, ROM installer, and flash TWRP.
So now, when I reboot my phone, I just get errors that say "Odin error".
What do I need to do in order to get a custom ROM? I've read in these forums that safestrap is the only way, but I don't want to do this until I know that I can move from what I'm currently at, to safestrap. I don't want to dig my hole any deeper.
Thank you so much.

You can only use Safestrap. Boot into download mode and then exit from it (I forget which button you hold) to get back in to the system. Then install Safestrap after using SELinux Mode Changer. You'll probably also want to find the recovery image for NC1 and flash that. Check the NB1-NC1 keeproot ROM thread you can find in the index for that
If you need anything else, ask here, but next time you have a new question, start it in the q&a section please.

I have seen that everywhere. Out of desperation, is there ANY way I can get CyanogenMod on here?
Secondly, my phone is having issues and I want to restore it to factory settings. When I choose this, it reboots and I get the ODIN error. I then have to power down, then I have to hold down while restarting, then hit cancel, then it boots normally. How do I remedy this?

Give up or get another phone-- NO CM at this time--there is a GE rom in General, I believe, for SafeStrap.
Not sure on other issue, maybe Odin back to stock--someone else may have suddestion--Read up on things in General and Q&A on SafeStrap. And a couple other threads like All Things MK2 etc--:good:

Has to be TouchWiz rom. To me it is not worth the effort. I just stay stock for now.

I was hoping to get some help.
I installed SafeStrap, used SELinux, and then installed GoldenEye Rom on slot 1 after taking a backup of my current rom to my external SD card. I then installed update-supersu and att_nc1_modules through safestrap.
I reboot into system and it just boots into the exact same rom as my stock rom... but the only difference is that my networks don't work. So I've booted back into safestrap and changed my boot device back to stock and all is well.
What step am I missing?
Edit: Yes, I've made sure that Rom Slot 1 is active before booting into it.

Don't use SS so not sure what you missed--

You're probably going to have to flash the nb1 tar in Odin and start over again. After flashing in Odin ota to nc1 then towelroot, then safestrap.

So my backup that I made with Satestrap won't work? I'm in the process of restoring that right now.
Do you have time to explain what all of this means?
flash the nb1 tar in Odin?
OTA to NC1?
Does this mean use Odin to get back to Nb1, then use the built in samsung updater to get to nc1, then start again with TR and SS?
I am a noob, so be detailed
Edit: I assume you mean this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527

Use this file in Odin, it's the nb1 tar file. After you download it you'll need to extract it using winrar or 7-zip. You'll get a .tar.md5 file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
Use that in Odin pda/pa slot depending on what version of Odin you're using.
The either just ota, over the air, update to nc1 or there is a nb1 to nc1 zip file that can be side loaded in the stock recovery.
Once on nc1 you can use tr to root.

If you restored your backup I would try to flash your rom in the stock slot of safestrap first. Only do the Odin if you can't restore first.

[How-To] Root N900AUCUDNJ5 4.4.4 (11/21/2014)

This method uses a modified version of the official NJ5 OTA to update and "Keep Root." The file is flashed in Safestrap and the end result is a 100% Stock, Rooted, NJ5 Device. However you must be 100% Stock NC2 (except for root and Safestrap) before proceeding.
**You can Odin back to NC2, after taking the NJ5 update, at anytime**
1. Place the N900A_NC2-NJ5-KeepRoot_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Boot into Safestrap recovery but Do Not Wipe!
3. Flash the N900A_NC2-NJ5-KeepRoot_OTA.zip in the "Stock Slot." Once flashing is complete press "Home" and reboot into "Download" mode.
4. Last, flash the N900A_NJ5_Stock_Kernel in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Once complete the phone will reboot then "optimize apps" before completely rebooting. Done!
Notes & Known Issues:
1. Neither User Data nor your Knox Warranty Flag will be affected using this method.
2. Should the update fail consider flashing back to factory stock NC2 using the N900AUCUCNC2_Full_Odin_Tar (flash in Odin's slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), then root, install Safestrap, and continue with the above process.
3. Safestrap will not function after updating to NJ5 4.4.4. See workaround here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2957471
Alternative Custom ROM Method: (If you don't know the difference between each ROM please use the search function!)
N900A_NJ5_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip
N900A_NJ5_Stock_Deodexed_Rooted_ROM.zip
1. Use Safestrap's "Backup" function to backup your User Data.
2. Place the ROM onto your ext-sdcard.
3. Reboot into Safestrap recovery then perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
4. Flash the ROM using the "Stock Slot."
5. Once complete press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data.
6. Next press "Reboot" and reboot into "Download Mode."
7. Flash the N900A_NJ5_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+). Done!
Thanks to @carl1961 for sharing his nandroid backups used to create the ROM's!
Notes & Known Issues:
1. This Custom ROM process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to NJ5.
2. Safestrap will not function after updating to NJ5 4.4.4. See workaround here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2957471

Correct, flash back to NC2 then follow the OP. In regard to future updates, yes having root may prevent future updates from successfully flashing.

I can sure try. I don't think that I can screen capture when in SafeStrap, but I'll figure something out.

Accidentally wiped *everything* - now stuck on samsung screen with lock

I have been using a custom rom via safestrap for a long time with no problem. Recently, I went to upgrade my rom and in safe strap, I foolishly did not back up. I did a factory wipe, but then I went into advanced wipe where I would normally check dalvik cache and a couple others, but this time I inadvertently checked ALL the boxes, including microsd card. So, I deleted EVERYTHING.
I took my external sd card out and put it in the computer, then copied my rom .zip file over to it. When I rebooted the phone though, I just get to the SAMSUNG screen with the little padlock on it and the word "custom" underneath. I can't seem to access safestrap to flash the rom over again.
What are my options?
Thanks!

You wiped the os you so you have nothing to boot to. You'll need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware. Look for the nb1 tar file. Guut13 has a guide in the general forum to return to stock.

Here is place to get file. It is simple with Odin. Then you can take the OTA update to 4.4.4 if you want.
