Root [Sprint] Knox void. Can i update to 4.4 kitkat via ota upgrade?

Hi guys. So i got a sprint note 2(sph-l900 t0ltespr). I was rooted, running and experimenting with different custom roms, and i seen the new 4.4 kitkat update was availiable today. So i thought the only way to get the update was to unroot and restore back to factory using the MC2_STOCK_with_COUNT_RESET-20130511.zip. So i went through and did all the steps. installation finished. updated from i think 4.1 jb Stock to 4.3jb Stock. all went well. now im stuck at trying to do an ota which isnt working. Then i remembered something about knox voiding can mess up ota's. Went and checked and now my knox is voided at "Knox Warranty Void: 1". Im not sure when i voided it either by flashing custom roms or using the count reset update.zip. Questions are Am i not allowed to do OTA's anymore because of the knox void, What do i do now, And how will i update to 4.4 from 4.3. Any information is appreciated.
 
I wouldn't worry about it. As far as I'm concerned, Kit Kat should be 4.3.1 (or less). There's nothing in it (other than even tighter security) that warrants a major point increase. (4.3.0.0.0.1 might be closer to anything users actually get from it, other than bugs.) I've actually disabled the updater on my Note 3, because all updating will do for me is lose root and lose the ability to have more than 1 ROM slot. 4.3 + Safestrap + root gives me all I need. Maybe 5.0 will be a real update, but I'd rather have root and Safestrap 3.71 than Kit Kat.
 
Thank you for the reply. but i still would like to know if i will be able to get the ota somehow having a knox void counter of 1.
