What exactly do you want mate?
If you flash the official firmware agaim you'll be able to upgrade your phone via kies or get OTA updates.
If you install a custom rom, you wont be able to get anything and in addition burn the knox efuse.
Plus we, at XDA wont recommend you one. You have to search for yourself which rom fits your requirements the best. Each rom has something unique.
Check the developers thread, read about the bugs and fixes and then we think you are wise enough to decide on your own

Buddy,
Download it from
www.sammobile.com/firmwares
For your particular model no.(i9500/i9505/i9506 etc.) and flash it via odin.
You are done!
Sorry if I was rude. But nothing like that

Hi guys, I'm a kinda of novice on android after coming from blackberry, I rooted my I9500 using chainfire auto root and everything worked flawlessly well. I never use triangle away since its not available for the device. Now some new updates are rolling in from Sammy and really love touchwiz so I didn't bother myself with custom roms. I would love to have those updates cos I heard they make the phone really fast and eliminate lagging. When I checked for updates I still get I have the latest firmware. My device status shows official. I didn't do anything to change Dat. If you guys have any idea how to get OTA Plz ur ideas are welcome plus a step by step method of running stock rom via odin is appreciated. Here is a snapshot of my device. Pls guys don't be offended if someone has already post a similar complaint.

My apologies, thought it was listed...

I have a simple question,
I just bought a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505.
If I root this device, will I still be able to receive OTA-updates when they release the 4.3 firmware for this device?

Stekkz

forget about ota updates when rooted.. not recommended to do so..
So when rooted, I first have to reinstall before I can do an OTA update?

Nope, because you're phone will be under 'custom' instead of official.

Hi all,
my S4 is currently running stock 4.2.2 MG1 rooted and both the phone and Kies refuse to tell me if there is an upgrade available.
In the past Kies would let me get the OTA but I guess Samsung made some change.
So is there an update available (4.3) for Canadian (I337) S4 and how can I install it ?
Is root available yet ?
Thank you.

??? If your phone is rooted you do know your NOT suppose to accept OTA or you will ruin phone.
There are plenty of custom 4.3 rooms out there.

Download the official firmware from sammobile.com for your model no.
Flash it via odin
Youre done
But you will loose root access. For that, use towelroot. ^_^

For using towelroot, flash any version of 4.4.2 lower than the XXUGNG8 which does not have KNOX 2.0
Then towelroot

Haha yes buddy..INDEED!
But ONLY ORIGINAL SAMSUNG STOCK FIRMWARES and custom RECOVERIES.
If you need to flash any custom roms, flash via custom recovery. Not all custom roms are odin compatable.
