[Completed] my galaxy s4 is rooted but also not rooted

2 years ago I buy my galaxy s4 unlocked version from amazon.com. When I came back to Turkey I registered the Cellphones imei. After that I rooted my galaxy s4. I watch lots of tutorials and most of it did not work out. At the last try I was able to root my device. After a year my uncle bought me a gear 2 neo which needed a higher version of android. So i plug my galaxy s4 and updated trough kiosk. The result was my galaxy s4 was mys galaxy s4 lost its root acsess was gone and system was updated. Also most of the apps first run and then give a error. For example i downloaded can knockdown 3. First it worked fine then it stopped working. One of my friend suggested I need to downlad a rom and suggested cyanogenmod. I tried one button installer but it said the device is not supperted for this installer. But my phone is listed in the supported devices(GTI9500). Please help me. My cellphone is slowly dying. Also last thing. They say making a change on the phone sometimes deletes the imei registiration.
Thank you for using XDA assist. Any time you update you're firmware you'll lose root. So that's normal. To root it again see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615&page=50 If you still have problems you can ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 And aslo see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4
