update verizon rooted s4 running 4.3 (MK2) to kitkat - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi;
apologies if this has been asked before;
I have a Verizon S4; I rooted it long time ago and then disabled the OTA so the phone is still at 4.3 now (MK2 build).
I am thinking about upgrading the software to a stable kitkat version (maybe 4.4.2 ??) will I gain anything? also I would like to update the radio as well
will that work and I can keep the root?
any help or suggestions would be great...
thanks

You can Odin the nc5 package and then use towelroot to root again.
Only need a keeproot method when going from nc5 to oc1.

No. this is a flashable zip.....you can't replace that file in a live system.
Use safestrap to flash.

Doesn't matter. 600 and 601 both on Exynos. Difference only between 600(1)&605 in that case, because of core and drivers, and partiotions etc.
If you want flash a whole firmware on 601, it matters because the frimware for 600 not contain the modem module for 601, but in this case it's autoroot and it's touch only the core, not modem or CSC.

Im currently on mk1 p 601 if root using this will my tablet be wiped? As in my apps and snote notes will all be gone?
Also this will prevent me from getting ota's, so when an update comes out and i do it via odin will my tablet be wiped?
Thanks.

Sure, afaik unlocked and s-off are not a problem, even root but I'm not sure on that last one because superSU or another must modify one way or another the system partition.

hi there. im uploading my 1.54 t6ul international stock nandroid backup using cwm.
its totally stock unrooted/
make sure you wipe your system before restore of my backup, to make sure root is totally gone. stock recovery needed too, lock bootloader then your ota will work

[Q] SM-G850A Stock ROM or method to extract stock ROM

Hi Everyone,
Didn't see anyone post the stock firmware ODIN files for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A. I want to get it before I try to root my phone.
Or how can I extract it's stock ROM? After that and test, I'll upload it post a link to all.
Thanks.

From the thread, it appears to work for PE1, not sure about PG2.
Just use TWRP to do a full backup to your SD Card before you attempt anything.
Or, you could flash a already rooted version of a Stock Rom. Look at my sig for the one I'm running. It's PE1.

I didn't mean "completely" in a way that it's unusable, but you only get root access via ADB, since SuperSU will not work. So that sucks :/

You can try to rename this to : "update.zip" w/o quotas and update from stock recovery or HERE you got ADB sideload files. If i remember correctly bout ways you will wipe your devices , so make backups of whatever you got important on your phone.
Good luck
