Tnx but didnt find answer there sir, i mean if there is a new upate like 4.3 or 5.0 is it possible to update it officially or not? I am rooted and unlock bootloader w/o CWM
If i were to flash it,is it ok to flash it directly after flashing a custom recovery?
Sorry for many question. Im a sony Ericsson user before thats why im confused with a different method.

Best way is to flash the full new rom (4.3 probably) in fastboot, reroot, restore apps with Titanium Backup and you`re done. Flashing a full rom is better than updating an excisting one imo. Link for how to flash stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.

Yes, it is not hard. Just follow instructions and you should be good
Fastboot:
- Power down the phone, then
- Press Volume down + Power button
That`s it

You can be on stock with no mods unlocked rooted with a custom recovery and you will get the ota update and it will install fine.
The ota update link will be posted here before you get on your device so it's good to have a custom recovery so you can just flash it and it will also protect you from losing root or custom recovery

You can flash the factory images. Or a custom rom with has been updated to 4.4.2.
Answering your question. NO. You dont need every little update. Most people dont even notice it. Heck , I'm still using 4.3

Thanks for the response mate.
My question is if its even possible to maintain the root access through the update process.
I've heared once of OTA root keeper or something alike ...

Is there a quick easy way to unroot without flashing to stock?
I'm using wugfresh toolkit and I see
unroot + flash to stock option there ...
Thanks!

I guess you are rooted and you mean updating a stock rom? By OTA or flashing with Odin?
1. OTA: enable root survival in the superSU Pro app and you should keep root after the update.
2. Odin firmware flash: Flash the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro, enable everroot and the other 2 options and you also should keep root.

I'm running rooted, stock. 4.4.2
As I understand it, .3 is the current version.
I'd like to update to .3 without losing all my guff.
Make sense?

No worries then.
Sorry for the confusion!
what i normally do is flash a rom using desktop odin. the flash chainfires root. doesnt delete anything
What's going to happen to my SM-G900I thats got root (running stock) when it receives the marshmallow update. Sorry for the simple question. Thanks
marshmallow update
Hey there! your root will probably be lost if you accept the OTA (over the air) marshmallow. My best advice to you is this:
1. DON'T accept the update. (caps lock for emphasis only). You, as the subscriber, can only accept the update. The carrier can't "force update' your phone without your permission.
2. wait until a dev "captures" the update and "injects" the root (if available) in the marshmallow stock rom.
3. as a rooted user myself, exercise your due patience and wait it out. don't *ask* for ETA from a dev -- it's mean. =)
I hope this helps. =)
You won't get OTA updates if you're rooted, you'll have to update manually then root again

So I will have to do a full unroot to get the update normally, and would manually updating just be flashing the stock mm rom?

Full unroot doesn't seem to revert the device "Custom" status, which is what stops the OTA, to "Official" which is the status needed for OTA
The only way to return the device to Official is to flash a stock ROM with ODIN, that will unroot you and return the device to Official and OTA will work
And yes, Flashing manually is flashing a stock ROM with ODIN

Ohhh I understand now, thanks Durham. So I take it when I flash the new one with ODIN I will loose everything on my phone or can I do a dirty install and keep everything.

You only lose anything custom, like root or recovery, all your apps and files etc are safe

You will need to flash your stock firmware again first. Then flash twrp and root after. You will not receive OTA updates so when update arrives you just flash manually.

Yes that's what I've gathered now. I'm actually on stock Oreo CRAP but not had update yet probably because I'm rooted.
Where can I get latest update & will I loose root if I update?

Yeah that's true, you won't receive ota while rooted.

You can find latest stick firmware here. Latest oreo is CRC7.
If you update you will lose twrp/root. You will be fully stock.
Alternatively you can try a custom ROM
Yes looks that way but with custom Rom im just tired with full wipe when new releases are out..I guess I can't have everything
Thanks

You don't always need full wipe. You can dirty flash most updates.
Only need to wipe if it's a new base.
I rarely clean flash
