That's an uncommon opinion, can I ask what you dislike about the update ?

Same for me, unlocked and rooted, update failed. Restore original factory image, let it set up and update, then root once on 4.4.
Thank you, pal, but , It seems no original image for Singapore version..
Oooops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to be completely Stock for the OTA Update to work!
Thank you very much, buddy.
Is it the original factory image of Singapore version, for LCG-4? I hate to admit, but I am really a newbie, could you please kindly advise how to flash it into my phone?

The Bootloader status is not important! You only need to flash you original 4.3 firmware and not modify it at all (Root and so on) in order for the OTA to be successful.
Already update to 4.4.2, not very difficult!
Thanks all who help!

Yes it's easy, but after relocking, updating and unlocking, what firmware would you flash after bootloop? 1.14? then there's no point in doing it..

No
The root will give you full permission to editing system to add or remove features, install third party apps as system apps, remove unneeded system app ............ etc

Just checked out their official webpage, looks like they have an official 4.4 ROM out now for the K1 Turbo.
Gonna flash that guy tonight... or at least try to
Sorry for the DP, but thought I'd do an update and since it was months since my last post about this, thought might as well do a new post.
Updated to official 4.4 and I'm overall happy with it. I lost the ability to change the "window" wallpaper (when you have the QI charging case, the window will be locked to whatever wallpaper you set before updating) and battery seems to be about the same for me.
That being said, I noticed that there is a CM 12.1 (android 5.1.1 ROM) for this guy. Thinking I may need to install TWRP (or equivalent) and do a nandroid then toss on a bigger badder ROM like that. Generally not a huge fan of CM ROMs as I find I need to do a LOT of post-install tweaks to the init.d scripts and build.prop files, but to get an LP ROM onto this already sweet phone I think would be worth it.
Thoughts?

Then don't select any wipe option .there is a slight chance of bootloop but you can always flash again with wiping everything clean if that happnes. try to exclude TA partition if it's present and don't worry the risks are really small
Don't forget to use latest version of flashtool

You can. Just backup your stock recovery and stock boot image before your root. If you want to receive OTAs again, just restore those two then uninstall your root app.
