OTA update over rooted device? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was reading that there's an OTA update launching (currently only in Germany), and I was wondering, so i would know in the future, if I could update my rooted S4. Would the software update interfere with root? Will it take it off or what?
I'm on stock rom btw

Most likely you would loose ROOT with an OTA update.
The only way you would not loose root with an OTA update
would be if the update did not contain a kernel.
Good luck!

You can't update if you're rooted. Just wait for the devs to incorporate the update into their roms.

Did some research.
You can update if you have root, but you will lose root, just like the second post said. I use a the stock rom, I don't use any custom roms so I can't depend on your second statement.

If you try to update while rooted, the phone will say updates not available on a modded device.

^^^ what he said

Get the latest firmware from Sammobile, install it via Odin, check the "keep root" option, voilĂ , now you have the latest stock rooted rom on the block.

Did it download the update and ask if you want to install?
If so check /cache/fota and /data/fota and seeif theres a .zip in there. Make a copy please if there is one.

I'm uploading it to 4shared, apparently going to take around 13 minutes. It won't show any personal information I assume, correct?

This. We know you (OP) mean well, but people need to search their current baseband and follow the trail of updates out for it before yet another post like this.

[Q] ICS or latest

I haven't been around for a while and need to install latest T- Mobile ROM, but I cannot seem to find it.
Where can I find it?

Are you looking for the stock ROM? That would be 4.0.4 and you should be able to get it off of Kies. If you dont want Kies theres a sticky in the dev forum with all the ROMS.
Yes stock to test bluetooth problems that I'm having with other ROMs.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ download that to your computer and run program. Then hook up your galaxy s2 to your computer with a data cable. Let it sync up. It'll show an update is available and install for you. Takes about 30 mins. Will go to ics 4.0.4.

Stock roms boring but there are other stock less boring like [ROM] Tmo UVLE1 & Telus TLLE4 ICS Stock Rooted
or stable custom rom like dark side evolution v8< --------------(#1 in my book) just google them in case you change your mind.

That is actually the Puerto Rican latest release.
I had it yesterday...but deleted it.
I remember that it had these features:
It was NOT an i747M ROM
It was plain i747
I downloaded it in December.
It wasn't a stock ROM that I rooted...it came rooted and it was a flash able zip
Was completely stock with ATT Boot screen and ATT Apps
So there someone just give me a direct link
