if your phone is still covered by warranty,go to your samsung dealer,he will resolve your problem.if you don't have warranty anymore,you have no reason not rooting your device.

First of all, love your post! :good:
Do you know if you have the Knox bootloader? You can check by booting into download mode, if there is a line with Knox void 0x0, then you will do and unfortunately you can't download using official firmware.
If you root/flash custom recovery you can downgrade using custom ROMs but you will void the knox warranty.
Are you experiencing problems or having any particular issues with 4.3? Why do you want to downgrade?
First, thank you my brother because you're keen to help others.
My problem with the Kit Kat is root. Because, after the installation of root indicates that the case of Device custom, but some applications need Root do not to operate efficiently.

Yes the security Samsung introduced with Knox caused a lot of issues for some people. Luckily I am still on the old (MGA) pre-knox bootloader, but running a rooted stock based 4.4.2 ROM and can go back to official 4.2.2 if need be. So it really just depends on whether you value the knox warranty or prefer just to go ahead and root and enjoy the features that come with it.
Hello
I recently got my S4 i9505. I'm planning to root it
I have Android version 4.3
I used to flash costum roms on my s2 but I'm not really planning to do much flashing on my S4. not soon anyway
So as I connected the phone to Kies to make sure the drivers were downloaded so I can proceed with rooting
Firmware update popped up
I'm not sure what the best option for me now.
Should I root now and then I'd be able to flash a costume KK rom? and are there any stable ones that are better than the stock?
Can I use kies to update my rooted phone?
Maybe I should stick with JB 4.3? Which one is better 4.3 or 4.4.2?
I remember facing some issues when I update my s2 back. So I searched for the KK Update for the s4 and some people weren't so happy with their KK update
I know that doesn't represent the majority but still it could happen to me
So I confused myself
What is your advice to me?
sorry for the long post
Also I have an extra question What is KNOX? and do I need it?

First, the most problems in 4.4.2 are fixed, so if you flash the officical, latest firmware of your country you shouldn't have any problem.
An important thing: if you flash a custom rom, your warranty will be set 0x1, that means, you lost your garanty if you flash a custom rom, that's the so called KNOX. You can use knox like a second system on your phone, with all secure data in it, you can only access with a passwort and all datas are locked without this passwort.
Root your phone after the software update if you want to root it.

Hello everyone, i need your help, about my phone problem, it keeps boot looping after i change stock rom to custom rom, maybe because of the knox problem in download mode. My knox warranty now is equal to 1. Did anyone of you know how to fix this problem?
There is no way (till now) to zero knox
but you can back to stock and get OTA update
