It depends on what you change after rooting but generally the answer is no OTA updates will not work. That does not mean you can no longer update. I followed a guide in the general forum to root without tripping Knox. Within a day or two an OTA update came out but I was able to upgrade using Flashfire and the full Samsung's firmware file which contained all that the OTA contained. I did this while retaining user data, keeping root (SuperSU) and not tripping Knox. It was rather easy actually, with the most time consuming part being the firmware download. Any changes I made to the /system partition had to be reapplied but that was limited so was not a hassle.

Correct, at least on my device (SM-T800, rooted, stock 5.0.2, Knox still untripped) the Samsung update in settings detects that I've modified something in /system and refuses to use an OTA. I could not tell if it would even download an OTA file. I used the alternate method I previously described to get all that the OTA contained.

Hi, guys. I wanted to write a post, but since i'm a new member, i'm writing a thread here instead. The thread i wanted to reply is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
I wanted to let somebody know (because it helps some folks) that i used CF-auto-root, and i have successfully rooted my phone.
More details that may be helpful or useful are following:
*Everything was fine until 4.2.2 (JB); then, my stupidity kicked in, and MANUALLY upgraded OTA to 4.3;
*I noticed this CF-auto-root, tried it, perfectly rooted my phone. And YES, i tripped the Knox warranty...
*At some point, i unrooted my 4.3 (JB) so that i can manually upgrade to KitKat when it's released;
*Successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (KK) OTA on Mar 10;
*I couldn't find any info about "safe root" for 4.4.2, so i chose CF-auto-root instead (i tripped the flag, so i didn't care);
*I took the same steps for rooting 4.3 and it "worked". Initially verified with Root Checker Basic;
*However, SuperSU seemed to be "missing", and i DL from the store, and it opened fine (I didn't know SuperSU can be DL from the store)
This is my story, and i'm sticking to it
cf auto root work fine on my m919 4.4.2
It doesn't show up anymore in the app drawer. I don't have supersu in my app drawer, either. And, I'm definitely rooted. Sounds like you are, too.

Just root and back up apps with titanium
I don't really care about the apps I'm mostly concerned with losing root

a flash-able version i dont think so, only through odin. you can download it from sammobile. as for losing root, you can just re-root your tab the same way as before.
I know there are a couple of ways to root the non dual sim version, but as the title goes, is there any method for the dual sim variant? TIA!

Have you tried root by Chainfire ?
http://download.chainfire.eu/433/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hl3gds-hl3gdsxx-smn7502.zip
Just flash it via Odin as PDA and it should work fine
I'm very much tempted to root as kitkat is nowhere in sight. But just in case kitkat update do come, can I still update OTA?
Factory reset and clearing data is definitely not an option for me.

Once rooted Device status would change from Official to Custom . There is hack to change it back and trick the phone to download OTA but I'm not sure if it would install .
Instead of worrying about all this , I would rather manually flash the firmware via Odin once kitkat is available

You can flash without loosing any data and due to KNOX you'll not be able to downgrade the firmware
Okay if i go 100% to stock 4.2.2 the version my phone came with from Verizon can i remove root and take OTA update and stay s-off/unlocked or will the OTA re-lock/s-on or no ive heard mixed answers about this thank you for any help.
Currently our OTA updates will not reset the lock status or secure flag. You must be completely stock though. If you have one thing modified in system, you will have update issues.

You are awesome did it and worked i wonder why people say it re-locks and s-on it don't make sense that means if yours stock and just use it for root you don't need to worry anymore.

Correct, just freeze them, then unfreeze them when you take OTA

Does the unroot function in the Super SU paid version work?
Unrooting from the 4.4 kit kat stock rom. Im running stock recovery also.
Has nobody used the Full Unroot feature of SuperSU with kitkat and the note 4?

Made an account just to reply to this. I was in the same boat, and tried that. Phone rebooted but couldn't take OTA. When it restarted after failed OTA install, went into bootloop. Had to reflash stock through ODIN and problem solved. Sorry man.
So Im running stock recovery and stock rooted 4.4. So that means I either wait for lollipop on Kies or Odin back to stock then take the OTA.

Not sure about this but Odin to stock and taking update will keep all your data if that is what you are worried about. Only issue is you might not be as smooth keeping your settings. I had some fc's and lag. So I reset to factory and restored apps and there was a huge speed and smoothness increase.
Im planning on reseting, trying to maintain setup on a major update always causes lag.
