hello everybody , before i proceed to root my phone ,
can i update my phone through OTA once i rooted , but locked back the bootloader?
You can as long as you didn't remove any stock apps. The better idea would be to grab a pre-rooted stock ROM (or any other for that matter) from the dev section...

thanks for the info , currently im on stock 2.3.4 i9023. thinking to root to explore more.
Hey guys,
I would like to Root and Flash a custom ROM on my Sensation but would like a clear answer for the following question;
I know how to unroot and flash stock ROM but the stock RUU that I have downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 is older than the ROM that came stock with the phone.
So I'm asking if I flash the stock ROM I have downloaded from the link above, am I able to update it to the latest Android Version OTA?
Cheers guys

There are quite a few radios floating around now, at the moment. Really, they're different for everyone depending on where you are. A good spot to take a look at would be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573218.

Hi All,
Newbie here, I have a samsung s4 that has been rooted and CMW installed and I'd like to flash it back to stock. The phone was originally locked to virgin mobile Canada but I paid to get it unlocked. Do I need a ROM specific to virgin mobile to flash back to stock or will any one do as long as it's for the S4? for example I've seen ones that are for at&t, rogers, bell, etc... does it make any difference?
Reason I want to flash back to rom is to be able to get the OTA updates again and be able to upgrade to lolipop when it comes out. In fact, is there a way to re-activate OTA with out having to reflash?
thanks in advance, keep up the excellent work!

I think you are talking about unrooting.To do this you have to go to SuperSu and settings(whatever it is called).There is an option called "permanent unroot" this should takeaway your root access

Hi Kobro,
Does it matter what type of ROM I use? My phone is an s4 originally locked to Virgin Mobile Canada, does this mean I need to find specifically a Virgin Mobile Canada ROM for my s4 or will any stock ROM do as long as it's for s4? (I haven't been able to find a Virgin Mobile Canada stock ROM anywhere for the s4)
Thanks in advance!

any s4 stock rom should do the trick
however, you should try sammobile.com to seeif they have the carrier specific firmware.
After flashin with odin i suggest to use kies to control the latest version.
Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I might wait till Lolipop is officially released for s4 before I flash back to stock. S4 Lolipop here I come!
