Hey, i have used these files to flash with odin and downgraded successfully from 4.3 to 4.1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023527.
Remember that this is only FOR I9305 and not for I9300!
You will still have KNOX bootloader.
How do you factory reset this phone? I just upgraded to 4.4.2 and I would like to start fresh.
Thanks in advanced!

If you whether upgrade or downgrade your phone, you'll surely lose the root access
I suggest you use 133

You mean you rooted your phone by downgrading and upgrading method?
It's different from flashing
That roots your phone, but this empties your phone

When you're totally stock and a OTA comes out that upgrades the software (4.4.2 to 4.4.3, etc) does it do a factory reset?

No, a OTA update does not factory reset your phone.

Your phone is s-on, their is no RUU that will work with your phone
use this GURU Reset and choose yes to stock recovery and radio and no to root during install
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
it's also a good idea to factory reset before flashing the Guru Reset
Also you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash the Reset correctly

Reset does not update the firmware, you have hboot 1.57 your firmware is at least 5.x.401.x
im currently sideloading the reset guru you sent me, i cannot attatch links as im classed as a noob, but if u have google plus or hangouts, you can add me tymedwards1 @ gmail . com

It all depends on when you updated the phone before flashing custom recovery
if your on 5.11.401.10 your phone should update normally ...this software matches your CID
However if your on 6.09.401.5 and it tries to update it will most likely fail
I'm not sure how many .401 updates their are after 5.x
