Update to Kitkat with root using Flashfire? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys just a quick question.
I am on currently on the 1st build of Kitkat 4.4.2 (G900FXXU1ANCE) on my s5 g900f rooted with towel root and Knox 0x0. I prefer to stay on Kitkat but want to update it to the latest 4.4.2 Kitkat update (G900FXXU1ANI3)
I wanted to know if i download the firmware from sammobile and place the zip file on my sd card, can i use Flashfire with the inject SuperSU option to flash it to my phone, and if that would maintain the root and knox 0x0 for me?
I am not a fan of pc odin. Thanks

Bootloader can't be flashed with Flashfire as of this time.
And you need to update it in order to ANI3 firmware to boot.
Your only option is ODIN mate.
Cheers!

Can't revert to stock firmware. MJ6 to MJ3

I have upgraded from stock MJ3 to MJ6 BTU using Odin
Due to some instability I tried to revert and flash my MJ3 stock. It failed 3 times. I resigned and flashed MJ6 again and that went well.
Why can't I downgrade to MJ3??

Am in the same boat here ... Plus lost root recovery Knox counter tripped
And nothing seems to be able to downgrade back to mj3 or get root status again
Or get gapps installed

Can't you flash CF autoroot and CWM recovery?? I can, by pc-Odin at least..

Having trouble in installing recovery in i9505

I've a 4.3 stock rom installed from the box for my s4 let version . I want to install a custom rom. In order to do that I need to install a custom recovery that I'm unable to flash. It does flash but it does not boot into recovery. It only restarts my phone. Knox New security is messy. Any idea guys. Need help urgently?

twrp / cwm

Hi
I am sorry if this has been asked before, can someone please tell me if you can flash Twrp or Cwm on the Note 3 before you root and if so will it trip Knox? can you please help.
Thank U
You have to root first.

You do not have to root first. You can flash them via odin in download mode. You cannot, however, avoid tripping knox.
