If I were to install the leaked update would it render me unable to receive the official one or others in the future? I'm also rooted and know I will need to un freeze the bloat for updates. Does it also remove root and if it does can I re root it with the same method?

For the 8 millionth time, the LEAK is the OFFICIAL OTA.
There are several posts and threads about this, look around.

sorry i haven't been following this Forum for a while now...
are we still stuck with MF1 on a SGH-I537 or has there been any ways to upgrade / install new roms
There is a leaked 4.3 Mi2 with WiFi issues as well as other issues. There is an official 4.3ML2 which works great and will allow you to update to 4.4.x whenever that happens.

I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck
Link to downgrade:

What did you do before hand? Cuz you're literally the only person so far i think. I tried everything and even went back to jelly bean 3 times trying to retain root with different programs. It would always error out on the update screen

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

i can confirm that root on kitkat works. i flashed back to jellybean then rooted then took the kitkat update, and still obtained root access.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source

Downgrade to 4.2.2 then root phone using ioroot then take the 4.4.2 update this is for att g flex only you should retain root

This should be what you need to get the current Lollipop OC1 rom installed on the AT&T N900a Galaxy Note 3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3069609
You will have to use Odin to install.
If you look in the "general" section of this forum, there are also Odin files for Kitkat nc2.
Good luck.
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the info

I would love to know this as well. Can't find anything for Samsung-SM-G900A Baseband BOC4
EDIT: After reading through a lot of threads I found that there is currently NO DOWNGRADE OR ROOTING METHOD for those on stock OTA 5.0 Lollipop. This for AT&T SM-G900A Baseband OC4.
The s5 on lollipop is completely unrootable

Has to be on 4.4.2
Check with your carrier, they may provide the previous version. I.E. Downgrade. If on original carrier that is.
Now if I did a warranty exchange will it be pre loaded wit oc4 or of4 because I'm hoping not. What are my chances.

Extra slim to none, it'll most likely have most current firmware.
