After root, it's ONLY possible to update the firmware via Kies and/or Odin. It's NOT possible to update via FOTA!

Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the correct firmware for your device, and flash via Odin.
No data will be lost, so don't worry.
Thank for answering ?
But will i lost my root when i update my phone??

hi ,
in short.....
you cannot "receive " OTA update when you are rooted .
(Sometimes it might download Ota, but will not install )
To update software,the correct way is to unroot first ( via Super user app ..etc )
flash new updated , Rom via Odin and root again ! ( make sure its correct Rom, for your device )
Above procedure is quick and fast ( eg. under 30 min ) and its better ,than to "sit " and wait .............for
months for service provider to "push " update .
good luck

No need to un-root, just flash the stock firmware for your device via Odin.
Root will be lost, as the rooting files is stored in the system partition, and when you flash the stock firmware via Odin, the current system partition will be replaced by a new one.
But your data + your apps will be reserved (as they are stored in the userdata partition, and this partition is intact while flashing).

I'm not sure, but I think if you have the stock ROM and kernel you would still be able to receive OTA updates. However installing them might unroot your phone.

Flash a stock firmware back to ur phone using Odin
Reset the device from settings / accounts / backup & Reset ur device should be official and u should be able to get OTA
for firmware link check my signature
Note: do not use triangle away for ur variant its not supported
Can I do this simply by using Triangle Away with i9505?

hi. i rooted my phone and managed to download the MEA to MG9 OTA update, so i might help. download the cofface recovery from http://link.and-share.ir/uploads/cofface-S4-recovery-en-V3-0-zip.zip and flash with odin. then boot into recovery (turn off the phone then hold volume up and home and power) then select unroot from recovery. then turn off your phone and flash the official status mod http://d-h.st/1lt. then reboot and install the OTA. after updating you can root again just like i did,
have you tried the "full unroot" option in chainfires superSU?
easier than flashing a new recovery...
So guys a noob question here: If i flash a stock firmware through Odin would it erase my data? Or would it work like Kies or OTA?
A one part/single file firmware shouldn't (I did this two nights ago & it didn't), if you flash a 3 part firmware w/CSC it will.

stock firmware for s4 come usualy with a single pda package to put in odin.
it wont delete your data.
but i strongly recommend to backup your data to your pc before flashing in case you need to wipe the device after flashing if it stuck in a bootloop

Well essentially. ...data doesn't get deleted...but there are some instances that...when you flash an odin stock firmware...the phone will start up and get stuck on the boot screen ....in those instances...you need to boot into the recoveey mode and clear all user data....that will definitely delete all your files in the internal memory. ..so back it up...and proceed

I own a rooted Galaxy S4.
I would like to upgrade firmware using:
Settings -> General -> Device Info -> Software upgrades -> Update.
After resetting flash counter and using Triangle Away workaround to make the phone able to download latest firmware from Samsung's server, I'm able to start the upgrade procedure.
Firmware is downloaded, I chose to upgrade frmware and reboot the phone, but then nothing happens, no firmware upgrade is installed.
Is there a solution?
TIA
If u rooted ur phone u dont gona be able to install OTA updates how u are trying it. But u can:
1. This update will be a .zip file. You need flash this file by STOCK RECOVERY
or
2. Conect to Kies (android 4.2.2) or Kies 3 (android 4.3) and update it for there :highfive:

Thank you for your answer.
Do you mean that I'm unable to use OTA upgrade also using Triangle Away workarounds?
There is a specific workaround used to make the phone able to connect to Samsung servers and download firmware upgrades: Triangle Away disables Superuser for a few minutes so you can use OTA upgrade function.
Kies behavior is the same: it downloads the firmware, but then the upgrade isn't applied.
Before install firmware upgrade by stock recovery or Odin, I would like to discover if there is a way to upgrade it by Kies or OTA.

Try step 1
* EDIT: Select the last option in recovery
or
Put the .zip file to your external SD Card. Use 2nd option and install it
* EDIT 2: I have rooted phone too but I always update my phone with Kies 3. I dunno what will be ur problem that it doesnt install updates

What you can do is flash a stock rom using odin then it will be stock and u will receive ota updates ✌

I doubt this will work mainly because rooting trips KNOX which is an e-fuse so that means that if tripped there's no going back to Official status . You can always install the latest firmwares with ODIN though.

you do not have root? This firmware can only be flashed with root.
wait a few days until the official firmware comes out
i do not have root
twrp destroyed my phone
what can i do so i could use it ?

guess you have to wait until the official firmware from samsung comes out, then you can install the with odin.

You have already upgraded your bootloader to version 3. You cannot flash older firmware now. You will have to wait for an official CRG1 firmware to be released

Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?
can you upload for me the full firmware ?
You have to put the region in manual mode and write the name of the fw like in the thread i linked before of 4pda.ru !
