It tells how you can update your firmware. Since you're rooted the ota probably won't work

But what about sim unlock or any good custom you can recommend

to unroot ur phone: Go to supersu, go to settings, scroll down till u see ''cleaup'' and tap full unroot.
Don't make duplicate threads about the same issue (Especially so when people are already helping you in your thread in General).
Ok sorry.

Can I still upgrade to the 5.0 android when it comes out even if my S4 is rooted??
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yes, but you might have to install a custom firmware or return to stock without root, or just remove the root and wait for the ota update.

I hope we get it, but I'd say we'll be waiting quite a while but no guarantees either.

Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.

I unrooted my phone few weeks ago to take the new spark update. I know there are a few tricks a lot of you know of to keep root but I decided to go the safe route. I've been reading this site for a few days without seeing any apk for the new spark update... I think. Simply put is there a way to download this ota without waiting for it to come ota?

Everything I've read says you have to root and custom recovery to get it but keep in mind I haven't read everything

So my friend has a galaxy s4 that he wants to root, custom recovery, roms.. Etc. So I was wondering where to start? I Have done this to a galaxy note 1. And I know Odin is needed but just would like help with the process for the s4, and possibly links to find what I need. Basically I will be helping with root and flashing a recovery. I know Samsung phones already have a unlocked bootloader. Any help will be thanked!

Everything depends on the current firmware on the phone.

Nb1 is 4.4.2. Mk2 is 4.3. In a terminal emulator on your phone type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
It'll tell you what your on, look at the last few characters

It depends on what firmware you're currently on. The s4 is not an easy device to root and rom and the roms available to you are only touch wiz based. You might want to consider not messing with your friends phone.
