Hello everyone, i am new to xda and need help with my rooted samsung galaxy s4 i9500 running android 4.4.2 with build number I9500XXUFNG1 and phone status says CUSTOM, i live in India
i rooted my s4 using chainfire auto root a few months back and also installed cwm, both using odin.. and since then i have flashed aicp 4.4.4 rom and then got back to the stock rom using the backup i created by cwm beofre flashing the rom
last night i got an ota update of 112mb saying it'll update knox from v1.0 to 2.0 and my phone auto downloaded it although i havent installed it yet
so my question is, should i update my phone, let the update install, would it do any harm knowing it is rooted ? would i brick my phone if i install the update ? would i lose root access if i update ? what is the way out ? should i un root my phone and then install the update and then re root again ? since my phone is rooted, it shouldnt receive ota update than why have i received one ? what are my options ? plz help me out..any kinda help will be appreciated...! thanks a mil..!

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I'm not finding anything specific for your device. Try posting your question in the forum linked below. Make sure it is safe to downgrade your device, not all devices can be downgraded, attempting to do so on those devices bricks them. Double check yourself before you do anything.

[Completed] rooting issues

I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader in asus zenfone 2 laser Z00ld and tried to install a custom rom. But the rom didnt install so i had to install official stock lollipop 5.0.2 rom.
Now i am having problem with this rom. Hangs a lot. Battery drains too fast. Sometimes the front speaker gets activated while playing music.
So now I want to revert back to the factory rom that i got at first.
1. Is it possible to get back to the official rom????
2. is it possible to get the official software updates from company after relocking the bootloader and unrooting the fone???
I am not a noob. But i am just scared of doing the unrooting process as already i hardbricked an yureka plus which was just 2 days old.
So anyone please help me with the solutions.. :crying::crying:

Greetings and welcome to assist. I'm not sure where you would get the original rom from but yes you should be able to return to it and once you are unrooted you should be able to take ota's
Good luck
