I tried searching with no success, so anywho...
I want to update someone's GS4 (4.2.2, stock T-Mobile/Samsung ROM) to the official 4.4.2 one, but obviously can't do that since the phone was rooted with CF-Auto-Root:

I was told that updating via Kies should work fine without losing any data. Is this true? I don't care about rooting afterwards. I actually just unrooted via SuperSU's full unroot option, but that still results in the same message as in the screenshot above.
You need to Odin the stock 4.2 image or 4.3 image. Then you will be able to accept the update.
You could also just Odin the stock 4.4 image.
All 3 stock images can be found at sammobile.com :

Kies wouldn't be able to safely update? Or is that essentially what Odin does in this case?
I wouldn't use kies.

So this (Odin) should basically just manually install the update without losing anything? I didn't do hardly anything while rooted so hopefully that won't cause any problems.

Yes but to be safe you should probably reset anyway

Why would you avoid Kies? Just curious.
It can crash in the middle.

Finally connected a 4.2.2 GS4 to Kies:
Really tempted to just go for it, but still afraid that something will go wrong. To reiterate, the phone was simply rooted with CF-Auto-Root and unrooted with SuperSU.
I'd go for it. Since I last posted about this I have changed my mind because I've seen people in your situation using kies successfully to update.
Just make sure your phone is fully charged.

I just upgraded from a samsung captivate to to the i747. I am familiar with the rooting process and flashing roms. However with this device I noticed I have CLI5 installed on it. I can find very little about this build. Can I root this with the standard methods? Or is this one I will have to wait on for a while. This is an AT&T phone.

I may have to try it, I'm afraid of borking my new phone, since this is a new enough release, know body has any info on if any current methods work. lol
You can flash CWM with ODIN and then flash SuperSU or Superuser. It will increase your download count but that can be fixed with Triangle Away from Chainfire.

The process does not install a kernel and when it is done, you'll be left with stock recovery with root.
You can flash cmw through odin and then SuperSU. It work for me.

You don't need a computer to get root, it's not a requirement.
You need to download an app from the play store called Mobile Odin, with that you
can odin flash the required file to get root as well as flash the required cwm zip file
which is required to get root in the galaxy S4.
Thank you.

Yes, i'm pretty sure you're gonna need a computer to root. I don't even think mobile odin is compatible with our phone yet. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
The other guy is high, you need to be rooted to use mobile Odin, there is no way of rooting this phone without a computer, sucks I know.

I downloaded both rom/gapps off xda, then booted into recovery did a backup, then did the wipe twice, proceed to install rom then gapps. Wiped cache an devite cache then rebooted, started up said codex then to the next screen which was AOSB an just sat on that screen.
I'll try re-downloading the rom again today an try it after work but do I need to also copy Super-SU to SD card an flash as well?

They're gonna see that it's rooted if you're taking it in for fixing, but TWRP is known to have problems with non-AOSP ROMs... That's the main reason I don't use it.

Appreciate it man. Ended up flashing back to stock with odin, but could only find the 4.4.2 file. Ah well. But hey, your ROM is still a beast. I'm just a kitkat man lol.
Honestly, of every lollipop ROM i've tried, yours is definitely the smoothest and lightest I've used. If I ever have the itch to try lollipop again, flashing yours, my man.

There is no way to flash KK 4.4.2 with Odin because the phone never had a stock KK ROM released by Samsung. The latest was JB 4.3 as per sammobile.com.

What??? Before I ever rooted m phone, I was on 4.2.2. You sure you know what you're talking about?
In fact, 4.4.2 was the easiest stock firmware to find, and download. I found the 4.4.4 firmware, but the downloads were just a pain, because i had to sign up to sammobile, and it wouldn't ever download.
