[Q] Should i update samsung software? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently my samsung galaxy s4 i9500 is asking me to update software. I am in 4.4.2. Is it 4.4.3?
I read this article (http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/556954/20140625/samsung-galaxy-s4-android-4-2.htm) and i thought of asking here because i dont want to burn a possibility to have a root without tripping knox.
Can someone help me? Thanks!

No worries. It isn't android 4.4.3 and that article don't speak nothing about it either. You can update relaxed.

So long as the region is fine, it doesn't affect Sim-Lock - I'd just hang tight and let KIES do it's thang man, safer that way
Too bad then. Since I'm in Asia and that firmware belongs to Poland.

Its doesnt matter as long as its an official rom, just know that once go to kikat theres no way to go back to jelly bean, u should look for the steps to flash the rom, it pretty simple.

Don't update. the KitKat version has a lot of problems!
For one, the SD Card read/write problem.
Second, for me, I have a problem with device heating while gaming and doing some intense things on KitKat.

Problems with Samsung account sync

Hi folks, I have problem with Samsung account synchronization.
I have stock Android 4.4.2 with root (KNOX 0x0) and SELinux status changed to Permissive (also with Enforcing is not working). But before update to Android 4.4.2 I had Android 4.3 without root and everything was working like a charm. After update with root (because of SD fix) I just can't sync my Samsung account. I need this synchronization because of Gear Fit which I'm already using.
Do you have any idea how to fix it? Or I will have to remove my root? Thanks.
A bad start: "I have stock Android 4.4.2 with root (KNOX 0x0)". This is impossible.

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.

Just use the pit and then use any 4.3 firmware and it will downgrade greatly.

Kingroot works on my A700H, and it doesn't trip knox counter. However it might trip the custom OS counter, so you will have to use Triangle Away.
P.S: I only tested this for 4.4.4, and is A700H, which is 3G Dual-SIM, so it might not work for the FD.
